13 ON SCREEN MENU To access the main menu, press the MENU or ENTER Button. Use the arrow buttons to maneuver around within the menu display. Press ENTER to select and save a command, or press MENU to exit (out of the menu). All audio, video, input and output settings for each input and each output mode are stored internally (in memory) so the adjustments will not have to be repeated after they are optimized.
14 The following video adjustment parameters can be controlled via the on-screen menu system which can be accessed using the front panel buttons or the optional CTL120 IR remote control. See page 41 for information on using the CTL120 IR remote. Á Note: Video adjustments do not affect inputs configured for RGB passive. Brightness Setting: Adjusts the input signal brightness. Range: 0 to 255 Factory Default Setting: 128 Operation: Press ½ button to increase the brightness.
15 Sharpness: Uses variable filtering to affect input picture detail and definition. This control is only available for composite, S-Video, component interlaced and RGBS interlaced signals. Range: 0 to 8 Factory Default Setting: 3 Operation: Press ½ button to increase the sharpness. Press ¼ button to decrease the sharpness. Á Note: Increasing the sharpness setting gives the visual effect that the noise filter setting is decreasing.
16 AUDIO MENU The IN1408 allows users to manually adjust the bass, treble and balance settings. Á Note: The only control available for digital audio signals is MUTE. To access the audio adjustment menu via the front panel control buttons, press the desired INPUT SELECT Button, press MENU, press the ¿ or ¾ button (if necessary) to reach the audio menu, then press ENTER. Use the ¾ and ¿ buttons and the ENTER key to select the setting you wish to adjust.
17 INPUT MENU Key Concept Hint: Adjust the IN1408 output settings first. Adjust the resolution, refresh rate, size, position and sync format, along with the display device settings, to fit the video image on the screen (use the blue screen if necessary). Once the IN1408 output settings and the display device settings have been properly adjusted, the IN408 input settings and video adjustments may be configured for each input signal.
18 Key Concept It is critical that the signal format be selected properly for each input. If the input is not properly configured to match the input signal, the scaler will not function properly and will either display a distorted image or no image at all. Using the on-screen menu, operators can set / change the input signal format at any time, even when another input is active.

21 Horizontal Tracking: (Composite / S-Video Signals Only) This control adjusts horizontal sync tracking to prevent image bending (hooking) along the top of the video image. Various settings are available to compensate for different quality input signals: For poor quality video signals, such as from a VCR. Very Fast Fast For normal quality video signals, such as from a TV. Normal For good quality video signals, such as from a DVD player. Slow For high quality video signals, such as broadcast video.
22 Size: This adjusts the output horizontal and vertical size. It shrinks the size to a percentage of the output resolution selected. The output size is automatically reset anytime a new input aspect ratio is selected. This setting is useful to manually reduce the height of the output signal when an anamorphic input signal is connected. The IN1408 only scales up; therefore, the output size controls will stop at a certain point where the input and output resolution are equal.
23 ADVANCED MENU To access the advanced menu via the front panel control buttons, press MENU, press the ¿ or ¾ button (if necessary) to reach the advanced menu, then press ENTER. Use the ¾ and ¿ buttons and the ENTER key to select the setting you wish to adjust. Once you’ve optimized the setting, press ENTER to save. Executive Mode: This is a restricted operation mode that permits adjustments of common controls but removes all menu items for advanced controls.
24 User Memory: The User Memories (from 5 to 128) store all video, audio and input parameters. If a different input signal is applied to the IN1408, the User Memory can be recalled to return the video, audio and input settings for that particular signal. Select from the following options: Á • Save: This saves all of the video, audio and input parameters for the current input into the selected memory.
25 Choosing the Optimal Output Resolution and Refresh Rate Of all the settings on the IN1408, perhaps the most critical adjustment is the output resolution and output refresh rate. Every display device has an optimal or native resolution and an optimal refresh rate.
26 FIXED PIXEL DISPLAYS – SELECTING THE OPTIMAL RESOLUTION AND REFRESH RATE 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.
27 Advanced Operation PASS-THROUGH RGB VIDEO Inputs 5 - 8 can be set for RGB passive video. No decoding, scaling or video adjustment functions are available when these inputs are set for passive format. In passive mode, the unit merely acts as an RGB switcher. Since there is a distribution amplifier built into the IN1408, the selected output will appear at both the 5 BNC and the 15-Pin HD (VGA) video outputs.
28 DEFAULT POWER-UP BUTTONS An output mode, output sync format or a factory reset may be selected without the use of the IN1408 menu. This is particularly useful if the monitor does not display an image or if the image is scrambled. Simply hold down the front panel button while turning on the IN1408.
29 Advanced Input Settings Á Note: The Advanced Input Settings adjustments are a complex and powerful set of adjustments designed to optimize the unit for non-standard video and RGB signals. Since most users will never encounter such signals, only qualified A/V technicians should adjust the Advanced Input Settings The IN1408 adjusts automatically for different input and output modes.
30 o Redetected Now: The IN1408 automatically reconfigures when each new input mode is detected and each new output mode is selected. In the event that the scaler does not detect a change in the input mode, or should the input / output settings become invalid, the Redetect Now option allows users to initiate a new detection sequence and reload the input / output settings.
31 Adjusting Advanced Input Settings V-Blanking Blanking Area Active Lines Total Lines H-Blanking Active Pixels Active Area Total Pixels Figure 1. Input Settings The input settings control the following: • • • • • H-Blanking: Active Pixels: Total Pixels: V-Blanking: Active Lines: Left edge of image Right edge of image Right edge of image Top edge of image Bottom edge of image Use these controls to match the input video signal, framing the actual active area.
32 Input Blanking Adjustment In Figure 2, the input blanking is set incorrectly (as indicated by the dashed lines). If the H-Blanking is set less than the actual H-Blanking, the IN1408 will look for the active area before it really occurs. This results in a blank border on the left side of the active area, and cropping on the right side of the active area. This gives the apparent effect that the image is shifted to the right.
33 Active Area Adjustment In Figure 3, the active area is adjusted incorrectly, as shown by the dashed lines. If the active pixels are set less than the actual active pixels, the IN1408 will only look for the active area inside this smaller region. This results in an active area containing fewer pixels than are really present. This gives the apparent effect that the picture is stretched horizontally.

35 Total Pixels Adjustment In Figure 4, the total pixels are adjusted incorrectly. There are several ways to set the total pixels. It is best to set the total pixels according to the input signal specifications. Otherwise, if the input pixel clock is known, the input total pixels may be calculated from the formula shown below. The input horizontal scan rate, as measured by the IN1408, can be found in the Advanced Menu Section under System Info (see page 23). Multiplying the input active pixels by 1.
