IN1700 Operation Manual - Preliminary 06/23/00 © 2000 - INLINE, INC.
RS-232 Serial Control - All scan converter functions and adjustments can be controlled via the
RS-232 serial port. Serial control capability makes the IN1700 an excellent choice for integration
into sophisticated A/V installations where system operations will be automated and controlled
using a third party control system.
Component Video Output and Genlock Capabilities - make the IN1700 ideal for high end
staging applications, video production, broadcast installations and other applications requiring
several synchronous component video sources to be genlocked and switched clearly along with
scan converted signals. The IN1700 allows users to achieve the appropriate subcarrier to
horizontal sync ratio necessary for applications involving the recording of pictures / images
directly to full-bandwidth video recorders.
NTSC and PAL Compatible - Unlike older INLINE models that required separate scan
converters for NTSC and PAL outputs, the IN1700 combines NTSC and PAL compatibility in
one unit.
Rack Mountable - The IN1700 can be rack mounted in a 1U rack space using the optional
IN9129B rack ears.
Compatibility
INPUT
The IN1700 will accept video signals from VGA, MAC, SUN, SGI and other high-resolution
workstations featuring 15-Pin HD, 15-Pin D, 13W3 or BNC video connectors. The unit
automatically senses the characteristics of the input signal and adjusts accordingly. This allows it
to work with non-standard signals that fall within the following operating parameters:
Resolution: 512 x 384 to 1280 x 1024
Horizontal Scan Rate: 24 KHz to 82 KHz
Vertical Refresh Rate: 50 Hz to 120 Hz
Signal Format: RGBHV / RGBS / RGsB
Note: The main limiting factor for compatibility is not the vertical scan rates or sync format, but
the video resolution that may not exceed 1280 x 1024 and the horizontal scan rate that may not
exceed 82 KHz.
OUTPUT
The IN1700 output signal may be connected to many types of video equipment including TV &
presentation monitors, video projectors, VCRs and teleconferencing equipment. Video output is
offered in three formats:
Composite Video - Offers the widest compatibility with consumer video equipment such as TV
monitors, VCRs and other equipment with composite video input. The composite video output is
always active.
S-Video - Also known as Y/C, this output provides a clearer signal than the composite video
output and should be used whenever possible. S-Video may be connected to any video
equipment having a 4-pin mini DIN S-Video input such as video monitors, large screen monitors,
video projectors, and S-VHS and Hi-8 VCRs.
