Input Presets

The IN1804 Series scalers have 16 memory slots in which you can save input presets.
These presets allow a matrix switcher with multiple types of video inputs (such as an XTP) to
be placed upstream from the IN1804 to expand the number of video sources.
Input presets can be saved and recalled only through SIS commands (see the

on page 68).
When you recall an input preset, it fills the output raster based on the sizing and
positioning that it had at the time it was saved. For example, a video source that was
configured to be zoomed when it was previously saved as a preset is still zoomed, even
if recalled to a smaller output raster.
Input presets can be saved based on one input rate and recalled to a different rate. This
enables presets to be used as aspect ratio or other quick-sizing shortcuts. Because the
size and position is saved as a percent of the raster, the preset can be recalled to any
scaled output and the saved size and position are scaled proportionally on the output.
