Product Overview Description The IN1403 is a full featured video scaler that combines digital video decoding, advanced video scaling/line multiplication and a 4-input A/V switcher into a single product. Features Superb Video Scaling Technology — Employing sophisticated video de-interlacing, scaling and filtering techniques, the IN1403 offers an output signal with outstanding image detail and enhanced brightness that is entirely free of visible scan lines.
System Info — A handy menu option that uses the on-screen display to show comprehensive information about the input and output signals and scaler settings. Image Size, Position and Edge Blanking Controls — Individual horizontal and vertical image adjustments make it easy to precisely fit the active video image to the display area and provide for multiple aspect ratios. Comprehensive Input Adjustment Controls — These input signal adjustments include signal format, aspect ratio and horizontal tracking.
Installation This section offers step-by-step instructions for installing the IN1403 Video Scaler. An application diagram is provided on page 5. CAUTION Read the instructions carefully before initiating the installation procedure. Make sure that there is no power connected to the IN1403, and that the power button is off. 1. Place or install the IN1403 at the desired location. Make sure that the unit is seated on a flat surface or is securely installed in a standard 19” equipment rack.

Freeze Frame: Allows users to freeze the video signal and display a still image. Simply press and release the button to engage the function (the green LED below the button will illuminate), then press and release it again to disengage. The FREEZE FRAME button has no effect on input 4, which is a passive input. Volume: The VOLUME buttons regulate the level of the audio signals routed through the scaler.

Menu Commands Video Menu The IN1402 allows you to manually adjust the brightness, contrast, color, hue, sharpness, gamma, noise filter, and comb/trap filter settings. To access the video adjustment menu via the front panel control buttons 1. Press the desired Input Select button. 2. Press MENU. 3. Press the 4. Press ENTER. 5. Use the 6. After selecting a setting, use the 7. Press and release a button to move one step in either direction. 8.
Hue (NTSC signals only) adjusts the picture’s color towards red or green. Range: 0 to 40 Factory default setting: 20 Operation: Press button to increase the green. Press button to increase the red. Sharpness uses variable filtering to affect input picture detail and definition. Increasing the sharpness setting gives the visual effect that the noise filter setting is decreasing.
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. The trap filter is usually the preferred setting when you are running signals from a VCR (as composite video).
Input menu To access the input menu via the front panel control buttons 1. Press the desired Input Select button. 2. Press MENU, press the 3. Press ENTER. 4. Select the setting you wish to adjust by using the 5. Press ENTER to save once you’ve optimized the setting for the current input. or button (if necessary) to reach the input menu. and buttons and pressing ENTER. Input Signal Format: Select the signal format for each input.

Example 3 Example 4 Horizontal Tracking: This control adjusts horizontal sync tracking to prevent image bending (hooking) along the top of the video image.
Output menu To access the output menu via the front panel control buttons, do the following: 1. Press the desired Input Select button. 2. Press MENU (press the 3. Press ENTER. 4. Use the 5. Press ENTER to save once you’ve optimized the setting for the current input. and or button to reach the output menu, if necessary). buttons and the ENTER key to select the setting you wish to adjust. Output Resolution: This control lets you select the appropriate resolution for your display device.
Factory Reset: Returns all video, audio, input, output and RS-232 settings for all inputs to factory default. Baud Rate: Allows RS-232 remote users to select the baud rate that matches their remote control device system. Delimiters: Use the on-screen menu to select the desired command code delimiters. Extron scalers can be set to recognize six sets of leading and end codes when you are using an RS-232 remote: parentheses ( ), brackets [ ], braces{ }, slashes \ /, less and greater than < >, and signs !#.
CRT displays: Selecting the optimal refresh rate CRT displays may tend to flicker at refresh rates below 70 Hz In order to achieve a solid, flicker-free image, an output refresh rate of 72 Hz or 75 Hz is recommended for most CRT displays. You should also experiment with even higher refresh rates to see if they create a better image.

Advanced Operation Pass-through RGB video Input 4 is for passive RGB video. No scaling or video functions are available for this input. Only switching of the RGB signal is provided from the front panel or the RS-232 control. All color and sync signals are passed through an internal distribution amplifier and then to the output connectors. Blank, freeze, the on-screen menu, and other video functions are not available.
Power-on settings Power-on settings let you adjust key IN1403 settings without using on-screen menus. This may be particularly helpful if the IN1403 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 turning on the IN1403 power switch.

Troubleshooting Problem: There is no image on the display device. • Solution 1: Make sure that the power cable is securely plugged into the unit and the A/C source. • Solution 2: Make sure the A/C source is live. • Solution 3: Verify that the power switch is turned on for the video source, the IN1403, and the monitor. • Solution 4: Verify the connection to the output display device. Even with no input signal, the IN1403 menu can be displayed. Press MENU or ENTER to gain access to the menu screen.
Problem: The image on the display device is cropped on the right side. • Solution 1: Reduce the output H-Position to line up the image on the display device. Use the blue screen. • Solution 2: Adjust the monitor position or size controls to fit the image on the display device. Use the blue screen. Problem: The image on the display device is cropped on the top. • Solution 1: Increase the output V-Position to line up the image on the display device. Use the blue screen.
Problem: The desired Input Aspect Ratio cannot be selected. • Solution 1: The IN1403 can only scale up. Increase the output resolution until the desired aspect ratio is available. • Solution 2: Manually decrease the image size by using the output menu. • Solution 3: Select a different available aspect ratio. Problem: The output size will not decrease. • Solution: The IN1403 can only scale up. Increase the output resolution, and then reduce the size of the output image.
