Compatibility
VIDEO INPUTS
The IN1408 Video Scaler accepts composite and S-Video signals in the NTSC, PAL, SECAM
and NTSC 4.43 video standards on all eight inputs. Inputs 5 - 8 are universal inputs that also
accept component video, progressive component video, RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB or computer pass
through. Inputs 5&6 have the added feature of accepting TMDS (single link) digital video signals
from computers with DVI or DFP digital video ports. When inputs 5 - 8 are set for passive mode,
they are compatible with virtually any signal format at any resolution and refresh rate.
AUDIO INPUTS
Analog Audio Signals
Inputs 1 - 8 include a 5-pin captive screw terminal for analog audio input. All eight analog stereo
audio inputs are compatible with balanced and unbalanced line level signals from a VCR, DVD
player, computer audio card, or any other audio device that delivers a stereo line level signal.
Digital Audio Signals
Inputs 5-8 are equipped to accept digital audio signals from DVD players with coaxial digital
outputs, computer sound cards with SPDIF digital audio outputs and other devices that feature
similar digital audio output signals. The selected digital audio input signal is routed passively to
the digital audio output with no signal processing.
VIDEO OUTPUTS
Resolutions and Refresh Rates
The IN1408 features selectable output resolutions 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 scan
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, and Plasma display
devices.
The output refresh rate is also selectable as desired. When used with LCD or DMD 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 IN1408 provides three video outputs: a DVI Digital Video connector, 5 BNC connectors
(RGB or component format), a 15-Pin HD (VGA) connector. Since the three sources are active
simultaneously, the IN1408 can directly drive three separate display devices. The output signal
format can be set to Component, RGBHV, RGBS or RGsB as required.
AUDIO OUTPUTS
Analog Stereo Audio
The analog stereo audio output provides a balanced or unbalanced line level output signal (see
page 5 for output wiring diagram). This output can drive any line level compatible audio unit, or
a local device such as powered speakers. The output level is adjustable using the volume control.
Digital Audio
The digital audio output provides a digital signal that is compatible with receivers and decoders
that feature coaxial digital audio inputs.
