Extron Electronics IN1508 User Guide - Manual (Page 10)

Quad-standard decoding — The video decoder of the IN1508 provides accurate video
decoding of composite video and S-video in the NTSC, PAL, SECAM, and NTSC 4.43
standards. The advanced 3-line adaptive comb filter that decodes composite video reduces
cross-color interference and hanging dots while maintaining maximum image bandwidth
and detail.
Picture controls — A wide variety of picture controls are available for fine picture
adjustments:
• Position
• Size
• Brightness and contrast
• Color and tint
• Sharpness
Once these adjustments are made, the settings are stored in non-volatile memory and
automatically recalled when the same input source is selected again.
On-screen menus — The switcher puts its menu displays on the output video stream, for
display by the output monitor or projector. The menu system provides easy control of video
adjustments. The on-screen menus also make it easy to verify and adjust advanced settings
such as output signal resolution, refresh rate, sync format, and the reset to factory defaults
function.
Audio follow — When an input is selected on the front panel, the audio input follows its
corresponding video input signal (audio follow). Under RS-232 control, the audio input can
be switched to follow either the main window selection or the PIP window selection.
Operational flexibility — Operations such as input and scaling selection and picture
controls can be performed on the front panel or over the RS-232 link. The RS-232 links allow
remote control via a PC or control system.
• Front panel control — The front panel controller on the switcher and on-screen menus
support individual input selection, resolution selection, volume control, and complete
configuration of the switcher.
• Infrared remote control — The switcher includes an Infrared (IR) remote control that
duplicates all of the front panel functionality and some RS-232 functionality.
• SIS commands — The remote control protocol uses the Extron SIS commands for easy
programming and operation.
Auto Image™ (inputs 6 and 7 only) — The auto imaging feature automatically sizes and
centers the selected input to fill the screen.
Freeze mode — Provides a high quality still image for applications that require close
examination of a specific video frame.
Blank mode — Suppresses the output video image. Blank silences the R, G, and B video
outputs but the switcher still outputs sync. This ensures that the output device does not lose
sync lock. Blank mode operates for video and RGB signals that are processed by the scaling
circuitry. On-screen displays are not blanked.
Rack mountable — The 1U high switcher can be mounted in any conventional 19-inch
wide rack using the included rack mounting brackets.
Power — The 100 VAC to 240 VAC, internal power supply of the IN1508 provides
worldwide power compatibility.
