IN1403-2 Extron Video Scaler

The Extron IN1403 Video Scaler combines digital video decoding, advanced video scaling/line multiplication and a 4-input A/V switcher into a single product.

The Extron 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.

The Extron 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 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.
