Vertrieb von CAMBOARD Electronics Connect the IN1408 digital audio output (RCA female) to a compatible digital audio decoder such as a receiver or digital audio processor. Use a 75 ohm cable to make the connection between the IN1408 digital audio output and the sound system’s coaxial digital audio input.

RS-232 remote connector. For more information about serial control of the IN1408, see the Remote Operations Section on page 36. Connect power to the IN1408 using the IN9230 IEC power cable (included). Turn on the video sources, the IN1408, the data display device(s) and the audio output equipment (if applicable). 10.) Using the front panel controls or RS-232 commands, adjust and store the parameters for each input source.

INPUT 3, INPUT 4 INPUT 5, INPUT 6, INPUT 7, and INPUT 8 are used to select the desired input. After turning on the IN1408, press and release the desired INPUT SELECT Button. A green LED will light underneath the button to indicate the selected input. The stereo audio signal associated with the input will automatically be selected at the same time.
VIDEO MENU The IN1408 allows users to manually adjust the brightness, contrast, RGB gain, color, hue, sharpness, gamma, noise filter, and comb / trap filter settings. To access the video adjustment menu via the front panel control buttons, press the desired INPUT SELECT Button, press MENU, press the ¿...

Operators should adjust both settings until optimal picture quality is achieved. Gamma: The 30 active gamma correction curves programmed into the IN1408 are used to compensate for the non-linear response of many display devices. Before adjusting Gamma, the brightness and contrast controls should be set at factory default positions.
The following audio adjustment parameters can be controlled via the on-screen menu system which can be accessed using the IN1408 front panel buttons or the optional CTL120 IR remote control. See page 41 for information on using the CTL120 IR remote.
INPUT MENU Key Concept Hint: Adjust the IN1408 output settings first. Adjust the resolution, refresh rate, size, position and sync format, along with the display device settings, to fit the video image on the screen (use the blue screen if necessary). Once...
Output Resolution: This control lets you select the appropriate resolution for your display device. The available resolutions are listed on page 27. Because the IN1408 only scales up, users must choose an output resolution that is greater than or equal to the input size. For instance, you may not select 640 x 480 output with PAL input signals since PAL has more than 480 lines of video.
Page 24
This setting is useful to manually reduce the height of the output signal when an anamorphic input signal is connected. The IN1408 only scales up; therefore, the output size controls will stop at a certain point where the input and output resolution are equal.
The factory default input labels read "Input x", with x being the number of the current input. The IN1408 can also be programmed with custom input labels such as "VCR" , "Camera 5", or "DVD #2" or any other desired text to correspond with the name of the actual source connected to each input.
Page 26
User Memory: The User Memories (from 5 to 128) store all video, audio and input parameters. If a different input signal is applied to the IN1408, the User Memory can be recalled to return the video, audio and input settings for that particular signal. Select from the following options: •...
Choosing the Optimal Output Resolution and Refresh Rate Of all the settings on the IN1408, perhaps the most critical adjustment is the output resolution and output refresh rate. Every display device has an optimal or native resolution and an optimal refresh rate.
Inputs 5 - 8 when set to RGB passive mode. Once you have set Input 5, Input 6, Input 7 or Input 8 for RGB passive mode, the IN1408 is functioning as a passive switcher and you will not be able to see any on-screen menus. If you wish to select a different input mode following this procedure: 1.
An output mode, output sync format or a factory reset may be selected without the use of the IN1408 menu. This is particularly useful if the monitor does not display an image or if the image is scrambled. Simply hold down the front panel button while turning on the IN1408. The front...
A/V technicians should adjust the Advanced Input Settings The IN1408 adjusts automatically for different input and output modes. However, in cases where the input signal has slightly different timing or is a non-standard mode, some settings may be adjusted manually.

Vertrieb von CAMBOARD Electronics o Redetected Now: The IN1408 automatically reconfigures when each new input mode is detected and each new output mode is selected. In the event that the scaler does not detect a change in the input mode, or should the input / output settings become invalid, the Redetect Now option allows users to initiate a new detection sequence and reload the input / output settings.

In Figure 2, the input blanking is set incorrectly (as indicated by the dashed lines). If the H-Blanking is set less than the actual H-Blanking, the IN1408 will look for the active area before it really occurs. This results in a blank border on the left side of the active area, and cropping on the right side of the active area.
Page 35
In Figure 3, the active area is adjusted incorrectly, as shown by the dashed lines. If the active pixels are set less than the actual active pixels, the IN1408 will only look for the active area inside this smaller region. This results in an active area containing fewer pixels than are really present. This gives the apparent effect that the picture is stretched horizontally.
Page 37
Otherwise, if the input pixel clock is known, the input total pixels may be calculated from the formula shown below. The input horizontal scan rate, as measured by the IN1408, can be found in the Advanced Menu Section under System Info (see page 23).
9600 baud (factory default setting) Baud Rate Selection: The IN1408 has a factory default baud rate of 9600 bps and can communicate at baud rates from 1200 up to 57,600. Baud rates can be selected using the Advanced Menu (see page 23).

A/C source. á Solution 2: Make sure the A/C source is live. á Solution 3: Verify that the power switch is turned on for the video source, the IN1408 and the monitor. á Solution 4: Verify the connection from the video source. Refer to the installation section on how to connect different signals to the rear panel.

Use the blue screen. Problem: The display device has a double image. á Solution 1: The IN1408 cannot separate multiple signal formats. Make sure that only one signal is connected to each input. á Solution 2: The odd and even fields are not properly detected. For Component B and RGB interlaced signals, the detection of odd and even fields can be corrected by selecting Input, Advanced, Scan Type, then Invert Sync.
Page 49
Problem: The output resolution can not be set to some of the lower settings. á Solution 1: The IN1408 can only scale up. Resolutions that would result in scaling down are not available. If a lower output resolution is desired, connect a signal with a lower Input Active Area.
Page 50
Vertrieb von CAMBOARD Electronics Problem: The settings on the IN1408 will not move to the desired values. á Solution: Your settings may be outside the range of predefined modes. Switch to the User Defined Mode to allow for a full range of settings. Select Input, Advanced, Input Mode, and User Defined.
If equipment fails because of such defects and INLINE is notified within three (3) years from the date of shipment, INLINE will, at its option, repair or replace the equipment at its plant, provided that the equipment has not been subjected to mechanical, electrical, or other abuse or modifications.
