Comb/Trap Filter selects either the comb or trap filter (only available with composite video). The
comb filter electronically provides excellent Luma/Chroma separation (separates the color from the
picture signal). This greatly reduces cross-color interference and hanging dots while maintaining
image bandwidth and detail.
The trap filter extracts luminance from the picture. Generally speaking, the trap filter is usually the
preferred setting when you are running signals from a VCR (as composite video). You may wish to
compare both settings to determine which is best for your application.
Neither filter has any effect on S-video signals.

Delimiters: INLINE scalers can be set to recognize six sets of leading and end codes when using an
RS-232 remote: parentheses ( ), brackets [ ], braces{ }, slashes \ /, less and greater than < >, and signs !#.
Additional RS-232 products can be connected to different delimiters; however, only the unit
matching the RS-232 delimiters transmitted from the remote controller will respond.
System Info displays the following system information:
• Output Vertical Refresh Rate • Output Sync Format
• Program Version Number
The IN1402 only detects the input video standard. The input horizontal scan rate and input vertical
refresh rate only indicate the normal rate for the standard detected. All other values are simply
repeated as defined by the input and output settings. Although the IN1402 detects the input video
standard and adjusts automatically (for the detected input video standard and the selected output
mode), the system will reflect any changes to these settings made by the user. This information may
be useful for setting video parameters of other video equipment connected to the IN1402.
Reset RS-232 resets all RS-232 settings to factory default.
Choosing the Optimal Output Resolution
Of all the settings on the IN1402, perhaps the most critical adjustment is the output resolution. Every
display device has an optimal or native resolution. This will vary depending on the type of display
technology, if the display has a fixed number of display elements (native resolution), the size of the
pixels, the size of the display or display screen, and even the distance of the viewer from the display
screen. Setting the IN1402 to the output resolution to match this optimal resolution for your data
display will have an enormous impact on the image quality.
Please note that the ideal resolution must also lie within the compatible scan range of the display
device. For example, some 27" - 36" presentation monitors are limited to input signals in the
30 - 50 kHz range. If the video scaler's output resolution settings are too high, the signal will not be
viewable on the display. Before selecting the output resolution, you should check the specifications
page in the operation manual for your display device to verify the compatible horizontal scan range.
The Large Screen Data projector list and Large Data Display list include signal compatibility
information for both current and obsolete models of data projectors, retro displays, presentation
monitors and plasma displays.
CRT displays: Selecting the golden resolution
While CRT displays do not have a native resolution, they will have a "golden resolution," or sweet
spot, for input signal resolution. When the video scaler is set to the golden resolution of the CRT
display, the result is a sharp, detailed image without visible scan lines. If the video scaler is set below
the golden resolution, the displayed image will have tiny black lines between the image lines. If the
video scaler is set above the golden resolution, the lines will actually overlap and the image will
appear soft and lose detail because there are more lines and pixels than the display can clearly resolve.
When experimenting to find the golden resolution for your CRT display device, it is best to begin at
the output resolution indicated in the chart on the next page. You can then try higher and lower
resolutions until you achieve the setting that offers both a solid image and excellent picture detail.

Fixed pixel displays: Selecting the optimal resolution
Display devices based on LCD, DLP, LCOS, and plasma display technology have a specific number of
display elements, or pixels. This is also referred to as the “native resolution” of the display device.
These devices are usually capable of showing higher or lower resolution signals, but can only do this
by scaling the image up or down to the native resolution. In order to avoid additional image scaling it
is important to know the native resolution of your display device.
Check the operation manual of your display device to determine its native resolution. The video
scaler output should be set to match this native resolution.

Advanced Operation
VGA output
The IN1402 features a 15-Pin HD connector. VGA display devices can be connected directly to the
output port using a standard male-to-male VGA cable.
Output modes
The IN1402 supports the following Output Modes:
Resolution Mode Aspect Ratio*
640 x 480 VGA 4:3
800 x 600 SVGA 4:3
852 x 480 HDTV - 480p 16:9
1024 x 768 XGA 4:3
1152 x 864 4:3
1280 x 720 HDTV - 720p 16:9
1280 x 768 16:9
1280 x 1024 SXGA 5:4
1365 x 768 Wide XGA 16:9
1365 x 1024 4:3
* The length versus the height of the output image determines the output aspect ratio.
Default power-up buttons
Power-On settings let you adjust key IN1402 settings without using on-screen menus. This may be
particularly helpful if the IN1402 has been accidentally set for a mode that is incompatible with the
display device, preventing the viewing of the on-screen menus. To execute a Power-On setting,
simply press and hold the desired front panel button (indicated in the chart below) while connecting
the power cable to the IN1402.
:800 x 600 @ 60 Hz
:1024 x 768 @ 60 Hz
:1152 x 864 @ 60 Hz
:1280 x 1024 @ 60 Hz
Factory Reset
Output positioning
You can adjust output position without entering the main menu sequence. Pressing the arrow keys
selects the output position controls any time the menu is not displayed. Afterwards, press ENTER to
save the output position, or press MENU to exit without saving the setting.
The output position simply moves the image on the monitor. It does not add blank borders or crop
any part of the image. However, the apparent effect of blank borders and a cropped image may be
due to the image being incorrectly positioned on the monitor.

Remote Operation
Rs-232 control
The IN1402 RS-232 serial control port accepts serial commands from a control system, computer serial
port, or any other device capable of sending out serial ASCII commands at compatible baud rates. A
complete listing of RS-232 codes is included on the next two pages.
Baud Rate and Protocol:
• 1200-57600 baud
• 9600 baud (default)
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• no parity
Baud Rate Selection:
The IN1402 has a factory default baud rate of 9600 bps and can communicate at baud rates from 1200
up to 57,600. Baud rates can be selected by selecting Advanced Menu on the Main Menu.
The baud rate transmitted must match the baud rate selected on the IN1402.
Command Code Structure and Delimiters:
All commands sent to the unit must contain a leading code, the command code, and an ending code.
Each command must be completely executed before the unit will accept a new command.
INLINE scalers can be set to recognize six sets of leading and end codes (delimiters) when using an
RS-232 remote: parentheses ( ), brackets [ ], braces { }, slashes \ /, less and greater than < >, and
signs !#. The factory default serial delimiters are [ ].
Only the IN1402 that has the same delimiters as the remote controller will respond.
A complete command consists of
[The leading code
CH3The command code
]The ending code
Example: [CH3] sets the IN1402 to select channel 3.
Serial Control Cable Wiring:
When controlling only one IN1402 unit, connect the RS-232 cable as follows:
• Controller Transmit to IN1402 Receive
• Controller Ground to IN1402 Ground
• Controller Receive to IN1402 Transmit
When controlling multiple IN1402 units, connect the RS-232 cable as follows:
• Controller Transmit to each IN1402 Receive
• Controller Ground to each IN1402 Ground
• Controller Receive to only one IN1402 Transmit
16
IN1402 User’s Manual
When controlling multiple units, the Controller Receiver Terminal must connect to only one
IN1402 Transmit Terminal. Multiple IN1402 Transit Lines may not be connected together;
otherwise signal contention from multiple units will result. Therefore, “receive” information is
only available from one IN1402 in this configuration. Each unit must be set to different
delimiters.
