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. The scaler automatically senses the origin of the
video source material and selects the optimum motion compensation formula to eliminate unwanted
artifacts in the output image. The IN1403 employs high bandwidth digital signal processing and high
speed digital to analog conversion, combined with effective filtering and sharpness circuitry to
maintain and enhance image detail, even at the highest output resolutions.
Advanced Quad Standard Video Decoding — A high quality video decoder in the IN1403 provides
accurate video decoding of composite video and S-video signals in the NTSC, PAL, SECAM and NTSC
4.43 video standards. The video decoder employs an advanced 3-line adaptive comb filter for
composite video signals and greatly reduces cross-color interference and hanging dots, while
maintaining maximum image bandwidth and detail.
Pick the Perfect Resolution — The IN1403 offers a wide range of output resolutions to match the
optimum or native resolution of virtually any display device. The IN1403 provides a progressive scan
output signal at standard resolutions and refresh rates, ensuring optimal compatibility and
exceptional image quality with a wide range of CRT, LCD, DMD, ILA, D-ILA, and plasma display
devices.
Selectable Refresh Rate — The IN1403 output vertical refresh rate is adjustable from 60 Hz to 120 Hz
By converting PAL (25 Hz) and NTSC (30 Hz) input signals to higher, more ergonomic refresh rates,
the IN1403 makes it possible to display a remarkably solid, flicker-free image when using CRT
monitors and projectors. The chart on page 18 indicates the output resolutions and refresh rates
available on the IN1403.
4-Input Video/Audio Switcher — The IN1403 provides multiple inputs and flexible switching
capability to accommodate a variety of applications. Inputs 1, 2, and 3 can each accept a composite
video or S-video signal. Input 4 is a 15-pin HD VGA pass-through connector for a computer video
signal (passive, no scaling). Stereo audio-follow-video switching is provided for all four inputs.
Memory — The IN1403 can recall previously stored settings with the push of a single button. All
audio, video, input and output settings, for each input and each output mode, are stored internally (in
memory). Once optimized, all adjustments are automatically recalled every time an input is selected.
Digital Freeze Frame — Provides a high quality still image, useful for applications that require close
examination of a specific video frame. Freeze Frame can be enabled/disabled using the front panel
FREEZE FRAME button or an RS-232 serial command. Freeze is functional for Inputs 1, 2, and 3. It
has no effect on Input 4, which is a passive input.
Video Blank button — Located adjacent to the input selector buttons, the BLANK button allows the
video image to be suppressed. When blank is engaged, the output signals go to black but the sync
signals continue, ensuring that the data display device retains sync lock. When the BLANK button is
pressed a second time, the previously selected input is once again displayed. The blank feature can
also be engaged or disengaged using the RS-232 serial command. Video blank is functional for Inputs
1, 2, and 3. It has no effect on Input 4, which is a passive input.
On Screen Menus — Provides easy control over video adjustments including hue, color, contrast,
brightness, gamma, sharpness, image size, image position, and edge blanking. Unique image settings
can be optimized and stored for each input. Each time an input is selected, all image settings stored
for that input are automatically recalled. The on-screen menus also make it easy to verify and adjust
advanced settings such as output signal resolution, refresh rate, sync format, RS-232 control options,
and reset to factory default.

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. Once adjustments are made to optimize input signals, these
settings are stored and automatically recalled when the same input source is selected again.
Blue Screen Feature — Provides a full screen blue image for setup and testing purposes. The blue
screen output signal (activated via the on-screen menu) is always available, even when the input
signal is missing or the input settings are incorrectly adjusted. Blue screen acts as a test signal and is
ideal for setting up the output resolution, refresh rate and position settings, and to verify connection to
the output display device.
RS-232 Serial Control — Provided for all scaler functions including input selections, image
adjustments and output settings. The IN1403’s comprehensive RS-232 control capacity facilitates
complete system integration and effortless control when combined with a third party control system.
Dual Outputs — The IN1403 features a 5-BNC output and a 15-pin HD output. Since both are active
simultaneously, the IN1403 can directly drive two separate display devices.
Rack Mountable — The IN1403 can be mounted in a 1U rack space using the provided mounting
brackets (Extron part # 70-391-01).
Compatibility
Input
The IN1403 Video Scaler accepts composite and S-video signals in the NTSC, PAL, SECAM, and NTSC
4.43 video standards on inputs 1, 2, and 3. The unit automatically senses NTSC, PAL, and SECAM
video standards and decodes the signal appropriately. You must select composite video or S-video
mode as appropriate for each of these inputs. Input 4 is a passive input (no decoding or scaling)
designed to accept a VGA computer video signal.
The IN1403 has stereo audio-follow-video capability. All four stereo audio inputs are compatible with
unbalanced line level signals from a computer audio card, CD player, laser disc player, or any other
audio device that delivers a stereo line level signal.
Output
The IN1403 features selectable output resolutions (ranging from 640 x 480 up to 1365 x 1024) to match
the optimum or native resolution of virtually any display device. The unit provides a progressive
output signal at standard resolutions and refresh rates, ensuring optimal compatibility and
exceptional image quality with a wide range of CRT, LCD, DMD, D-ILA/LCOS, and plasma display
devices.
The output refresh rate is also selectable as desired. When used with LCD, DMD, or LCOS displays,
the 60 Hz output setting is recommended. Higher output refresh rates may be selected for use on
CRT-type displays in order to reduce flicker and provide enhanced ergonomics. The chart on page 18
indicates the available output resolutions and refresh rates.
The stereo audio output provides an unbalanced line level signal, identical to the input signal. This
output can drive any line level compatible audio unit, or a local device such as a set of powered
speakers.

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. The IN1403 is exactly 1U high
without the feet. If other equipment will be located in the space directly below the scaler, the
rubber feet on the bottom of the unit must be removed before you mount it in the equipment rack.
2. Connect the video sources to the IN1403 input(s). Inputs 1, 2, and 3 can accept either a composite
video signal (BNC female) or an S-video signal (4-pin mini DIN female). Input 4 is a 15-pin HD
VGA pass-through connector for a computer video signal.
CAUTION
The input signals must be connected to only the composite video or the S-video connector on
any one input. Do not connect composite video and S-video signals simultaneously on the
same input!
3. Connect the audio sources to the IN1403 stereo audio inputs (dual RCA female jacks). A
computer sound card can be connected using an optional 3.5 mm stereo mini male to 2 RCA male
cable.
4. The IN1403 features a 5-BNC output and a 15-pin HD output, providing easy connections for a
variety of data monitors, data projectors and other data-grade displays.
•
VGA display devices can be connected directly to the IN1403 output port using a
standard male-to-male VGA cable.
•
Data output devices that feature an RGB video input can be connected directly to the
IN1403 using three, four, or five BNC cables (for RGsB, RGBS, or RGBHV, respectively)
or a multi-conductor RGBHV, RGBS, or RGB “snake.” While making connections, take
care to ensure that the red output is connected to the red input, green output is
connected to the green input, etc.
Since both outputs are active simultaneously, the IN1403 can directly drive two separate display
devices.
5. Connect the IN1403 stereo audio output to the audio system’s input (mixer, amplifier, powered
speakers, etc.).
6. Connect a control system, computer, or other source for serial commands to the RS-232 remote
connector if desired. For more information about remote control of the IN1403, see the Remote
Operation section on page 19.
7. Connect power to the IN1403 using the included power cable.
8. Turn on the video sources, the IN1403, the display device, and the audio output equipment (if
applicable).
9. Using the front panel controls or RS-232 commands, adjust and store the parameters for each
input source.
It is very important that you set each input for composite video or S-video operation as appropriate
to match the format of the input signal (see page 11 for details).
10. Set the output resolution and refresh rate to match the optimum or native resolution of your
display device as described in Output menu on page 14. If you need assistance selecting the
appropriate resolution and refresh rate for your display, see Choosing the Optimal Output Resolution

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). You may wish to compare both settings to
determine which is best for your application.
Neither filter has any effect on S-video signals.

6. Press MENU to exit.
It is critical that the composite/S-video status is selected properly for each input. Using the
on-screen menu, you can set/change the input format at any time, even when another input signal
is active. If the composite/S-video selection is set incorrectly, the decoder circuitry will not
function properly and the IN1403 will display a distorted picture.
Aspect Ratio: The aspect ratio controls vary the relative image width and height. They can be used to
accommodate various input signal aspect ratios as well as output device aspect ratios. Select the
output aspect ratio by choosing the appropriate resolution in the output menu (see the output
resolution description on page 14).
Standard:
For Standard 1.33 input signals (sometimes referred to as full screen)
Anamorphic:
This setting provides vertical image squeezing to accommodate
anamorphically enhanced DVDs
Wide Screen:
For wide screen 1.78 input signals (letterbox)
Wider Screen: For wider screen 2.35 input signals (narrow letterbox)
Tomarama:
Designed for wide screen (letterbox) signals viewed on 4:3 aspect ratio
displays. Tomarama mode zooms in on the center of the image and crops
the image vertically and horizontally so that the black bars above and below
the image are removed. In this mode, some image is also lost on the right
and left hand edges.
Most DVDs and VCRs and other video sources output a signal with an aspect ratio of 4:3. How this
signal is filled with active video information determines its aspect ratio. In the following four
examples, four different input aspect ratios are shown on the left as they would be displayed in their
native 4:3 format. The same signals are shown on the right as they would appear on 4:3 and 16:9
display devices with the scaler set to various aspect ratios.

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 or button to reach the output menu, if necessary).
3. Press ENTER.
4. Use the and buttons and the ENTER key to select the setting you wish to adjust.
5. Press ENTER to save once you’ve optimized the setting for the current input.
Output Resolution: This control lets you select the appropriate resolution for your display device.
The available resolutions are listed in the table under Output modes on page 18. Because the IN1403
only scales up, users must choose an output resolution that is greater than or equal to the input size.
For instance, you may not select 640 x 480 output with PAL input signals since PAL has more than 480
lines of video.
Of all the settings on the IN1403, perhaps the most critical adjustment is the output
resolution. Setting the scaler to match the capabilities of your data display device will have an
enormous impact on the image quality. To achieve the optimum image on your display
device, refer to the Choosing the Optimal Output Resolution and Refresh Rate section on page
15.
Refresh Rate: Allows you to choose the optimal refresh rate for your display device.
Not all resolution and refresh rate combinations are available. Refer to the chart on page 18
for a complete listing.
Size 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 IN1403 only scales up; therefore the output size controls will stop at a certain
point where the input and output resolution are equal.
Position situates the output image on the monitor. The output position is automatically reset anytime
a new input aspect ratio is selected.
Sync Format: Select an output signal format that is compatible with your display.

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 !#. If desired,
several products may be connected together on the same RS-232 serial control line with each device set
for a different delimiter pair. Each unit will only respond to codes sent with the appropriate
delimiters and will ignore all other codes.
System Info: This display shows a variety of information about the currently selected input signal

Choosing the Optimal Output Resolution and
Refresh Rate
Of all the settings on the IN1403, 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. 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 IN1403 to the output resolution
and refresh rate 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 and refresh rate settings are too high, the
signal will not be viewable on the display. Before selecting the output resolution and refresh rate, you
should check the specifications page in the operation manual for your display device to verify the
compatible horizontal scan range and vertical refresh rates. The Large Screen Data projector list and
Large Data Display list include signal compatibility information for 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 set the
output refresh rate at 72 Hz and begin at the output resolution indicated in the chart on page 18. You
can then try higher and lower resolutions until you achieve the setting that offers both a solid image
and excellent picture detail.

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. In some cases, you
will find that the image suddenly appears better at a higher refresh rate, such as 85 Hz
Keep in mind that as the refresh rate is increased, the horizontal scan rate also increases. This places
greater higher bandwidth demands on the video distribution system and the display device. If you
select a refresh rate that is too high you will actually see a softer image because the signal is exceeding
the bandwidth capabilities of the display device. Extremely high refresh rate settings may also create
a compatibility problem because a very high refresh rate may result in a signal that is outside the
compatible scan rate of the data display.
Fixed pixel displays: Selecting the optimal resolution and refresh rate
Display devices based on LCD, DMD, D-ILA/LCOS, or plasma 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 your operation manual or the chart on page 17 to determine the native resolution of your
display device. The video scaler output should be set to match this native resolution. The video scaler
output refresh rate should be set to 60 Hz with most LCD, DMD, LCOS, and plasma displays. Higher
refresh rates are not recommended with these display technologies because they usually do not
improve the image and may actually cause compatibility problems.

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. Audio is an active function,
and all audio functions are still available for Input 4, even though the menu cannot be displayed.
Output RGB connectors
The dual RGB outputs of the IN1403 are individually buffered (including signals from
Input 4). They may both be connected simultaneously without degradation of the other
output. Both are capable of transmitting the RGB signal over 100 feet or more through high
quality coaxial cables.

Output positioning
You can adjust the output position without entering the main menu sequence. Any time there are no
menus showing on the screen, simply press one of the
arrow keys to shift the image in the
desired direction. 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. The blue screen signal is available to
adjust the output image on the monitor. It as available at any time, even when the input settings are
incorrectly adjusted or the input signal is missing entirely. Use the blue screen to adjust the output
settings (resolution, refresh rate, size, position and sync format) and to verify the image on the
monitor. The video and input settings have no effect on the blue screen. Once the output settings
have been properly adjusted and verified on the monitor, the blue screen can be turned off, and the
video settings may then be adjusted.
Remote Operation
RS-232 control
The IN1403 remote 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. All
switching, adjustment and setup parameters can be controlled using RS-232 commands. A complete
listing of RS-232 codes is included pages 21-23.

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 specified by selecting Advanced Menu on the Main Menu.
The baud rate transmitted must match the baud rate selected on the IN1403.
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. When a
command is completed, the unit provides a response code:
[OK]
indicates that the command was received and executed.
[ERR] indicates that there is a problem with the code and the command was not executed.
The IN1403 can be set to recognize six sets of leading and end codes (delimiters). These are:
( ), [ ], { }, \ /, < >, and !#. The factory default serial delimiters are [ ]. The unit may be set to a
different delimiter pair from the Advanced Menu (see page 14). The IN1403 will ignore all commands
that do not contain the appropriate delimiters.
A complete command consists of
[
The leading code
CH4
]
The command code. In this case, CH4 would select Input 4.
The ending code
Sample command codes:
[CH1] Select Input 1
[FRZ1] Activate Freeze Frame
Serial Cable Connection:
When controlling only one IN1403 unit, connect the RS-232 cable as follows:
Controller Transmit
Controller Ground
Controller Receive
to
to
to
IN1403 Receive
IN1403 Ground
IN1403 Transmit
When controlling multiple IN1403 units, connect the RS-232 cable as follows:
Controller Transmit
Controller Ground
Controller Receive
to
to
to
Each IN1403 Receive
Each IN1403 Ground
Only one IN1403 Transmit
When controlling multiple units, the Controller Receiver Terminal and each IN1403 Transmit
Terminal is left unconnected. Multiple IN1403 Transit Lines may not be connected together;
otherwise signal contention from multiple units will result. Therefore, “receive” information is
only available from one IN1403 in this configuration. Each unit must be set to different
delimiters.
