1 Introduction
The Focus Enhancements TView QuadScan product family is a series of products intended to receive analog television signals in various formats, scale them upwards in resolution and play them back on high-resolution projection devices. Using the QuadScan, users can vastly improve the visual quality of television sources.
The QuadScan is a Video Scaler, which means that the output resolution can be controlled or “scaled” to fit the resolution of the output device. “Line Doubling” and “Line Quadrupling” are just 2 of the many scaling modes of the QuadScan’s operation.
In addition to scaling incoming video to the optimum resolution of the display device, the QuadScan provides 2 other functions in significantly improving the displayed quality of television: 1) the video is de-interlaced for presentation on a non-interlaced device, removing the effects of interlaced flicker and 2) the video is “motion compensated”, automatically detecting the input source (i. e. still video, motion video, or film) and processing the video for minimal motion artifacts.
The QuadScan III is intended for use in two major type of users: Professional AV Users, and Home Theater Users Professional AV users will be able to control all of the QuadScan’s control functions from popular control environments via RS-232/422. Home Theater Users will be able to access powerful video enhancement features previously found only in devices costing $10,000 and up.
1.1 Intent of this Manual
This manual is intended to specifically cover the requirements of users of desktop and rackmount QuadScans. At the time of writing, a PCI bus version is planned. This product will require a different manual.
All references made by this manual to "QuadScan" (without suffix of any kind) refer generically to any member of the QuadScan product family.
This manual serves two purposes: 1) Quick Start Procedure, and 2) Reference Guide. If you are familiar with video systems or you just want a quick start, you may want to skip ahead to the appropriate installation section, plug the QuadScan and give it a try.

1.2 The QuadScan Family
The QuadScan product family consists of one common technology implemented on a common circuit board. Different packaging is added to the base product to provide specific options.
1.2.1 Desktop or Rackmount
Desktop Units are standalone items that accept 13 – 20 VDC power from a UL listed power supply. Users of Desktop QuadScans may choose between American compatible, wall mount transformers, with standard American plug configuration (shipped automatically with QuadScan Desktop orders, SKU# 444-5520), or deskmount universal power supplies (shipped with QuadScan Desktop International orders, SKU#444-5524). Desktop universal power supplies terminate in an IEC-320 connector (the same connector that you see on the back of PC computers). You must supply the IEC-320 to wall outlet cable.
QuadScan is also available in an EIA 19 inch rack mount configuration. The QuadScan Rackmount (SKU #444-5522) occupies 1 standard rack height. The unit is shipped with rackmount brackets (ears) in the package, but not installed. All QuadScan rackmount models are capable of accepting power in the range of 95 V - 250 V, 47Hz. - 63 Hz. You must supply the IEC-320 to wall outlet cable for countries requiring other than the American 3 prong plug..
