The HD-15 VGA connector pass through is an analog video pass through of the VGA input connected to the QuadScan Elite VGA IN (HD-15), Male connector. When VGA pass through is selected, the VGA input (Red, Green, Blue, H Sync and V Sync) is passed directly through to the HI-RES OUT HD-15 Female connector. No resolution scaling or signal processing is performed.

If the display device has BNC inputs, you will need an HD15 Male to 5 BNC Male Cable (SKU# 444-5906). Connect one end of this cable into the Hi-Res Output of the QuadScan Elite. Connect the 5 wires of the BNC Male connectors (Red, Green, Blue, H Sync and V Sync) to the appropriate BNC Female connectors of the display device.

Connect the Pr channel of the component source to the QuadScan Elite Channel A or B R-Y (Pr) IN connector. Connect the B-Y (or Pb) channel of the component source to the QuadScan Elite Channel A or B B-Y (Pb) IN connector.
Turn all system components off. Select a convenient location for the QuadScan Elite. If the QuadScan Elite is to be mounted within a 19-inch rack, install the left and right mounting brackets with the supplied screws. Plug the QuadScan Elite into an appropriate outlet or power strip.
QuadScan Elite Control Function All of the powerful features of the QuadScan Elite can be controlled by any one of three methods: Front Panel control, RS-232/422 control, and IR Remote control, as described in section 4 QuadScan Elite Control Methods. All methods are interchangeable and simultaneously active (i.e.
Position setting C places the 1365 x 768 active video strip at the bottom of the 1365 x 1024 raster. When the 16:9 Output Aspect Ratio is selected, the QuadScan Elite will determine the best presentation of the image upon a 16:9 screen based also on the Display Device Resolution and the Input Aspect Ratio selected. Similar action will be performed for 4:3 aspect ratio screens if 4:3 Output Aspect Ratio is chosen.
2.4.3 Full Reset (Not available from IR remote control) This control resets all of the modes of the QuadScan Elite to their factory default values (See Section 3, QuadScan Elite Control Functions for the factory default settings).
Channel B will be configured as a second Component input. The default is that Channel B is configured as an input. Y Pb Pr Channel B Configuration is indicated by “YUV B = PASS” or “YUV B= INPUT” on the QuadScan Elite Front Panel Display.
Channel B will be configured as a second input source. The default is Channel B configured as an input. Composite Channel B Configuration is indicated by “COMP B=PASS” or “COMP B=IN” on the QuadScan Elite Front Panel Display.
Composite input lines of channel A. The default configuration is termination resistors engaged. Channel A Termination is indicated by “CH A TERM” (Channel A Input Terminated) or “CH A UNTERM” (Channel A Input UN-terminated) on the QuadScan Elite Front Panel Display. QuadScan Elite User's Manual...

Window is a smaller section of the source input that will be used as the scaling source. As the Input Size is adjusted, the QuadScan Elite will increase the contents of the Input Window to the full screen size as defined by the Output Display Configuration and Output Screen Aspect Ratio.
2.15.1 Output Low Pass Filter The QuadScan Elite has a “low pass filter” on the video output, that can be selected by setting the FILTER toggle switch either “IN” (Up Position), or “OUT” (Down Position). This low pass filter, when “OUT”, allows full bandwidth video out of the “HI_RES OUT”...
(excluding VGA), and 7 output resolutions, a total of 42 save sets are available. After the user adjusts any of the above parameters, the QuadScan Elite will saves the current setting in. Changing to a different input channel or output resolution, will recall the settings previously saved for that channel.
The QuadScan Elite Front Panel gives the user access to all of the control parameters detailed in section 3. Figure 2 indicates the placement of the buttons and LED display on the Front Panel of the QuadScan Elite. The controls are arranged such that the user can cycle through a circular list of controllable functions with the + (plus) or –...
A special combination of buttons (the Locking Sequence) make it possible to freeze the control input such that the QuadScan Elite will not respond to Control Panel or IR remote or RS-232/422 commands until a second special combination of buttons (the Unlocking Sequence) is entered.
The IR remote control interface is shown in Figure 3. The IR remote control is a line of sight device; the IR receiver is mounted inside the QuadScan Elite next to the LED displays.

RS-232 and RS-422, but must be correctly set up for each standard. When configured for RS-422, up to 8 QuadScan Elite’s may be connected in a single RS-422 wired system. The QuadScan Elite will react to controls that are delivered to a unique address (address 0 through 7), that is programmed into each QuadScan Elite via the Front Panel control.

Figure 5 indicates the recommended connections from a DB-9 connector for RS-232 operation. The RS-232 cable (SKU 3201-0901), is a custom designed cable that can be purchased separately through Focus Enhancements. Depending on the way that the controlling port is programmed, other connections may work as well. The QuadScan Elite has no way of handling the RTS/CTS and DSR/DCD signals.
Sending Communications Commands to the QuadScan Elite The serial port of the QuadScan Elite accepts serial data at 9600 baud, 8data bits, no parity bit, 1 stop bit. It is essential that the serial communications device that delivers commands to the QuadScan Elite be set up in this fashion.

Send the Activation Command The Activation Command consists of the character string: QSRONx (where x is the address of the QuadScan Elite). The Activation Command (and all other commands) must be followed by a Carriage Return (0x0d) to be accepted.

Send the De-Activation Command When a QuadScan Elite is used in an RS-422 system with several other QuadScan Elite’s it will be necessary to De- Activate the currently selected QuadScan Elite to issue commands to another QuadScan Elite in the system. If you are using a single QuadScan Elite, it will not be necessary to De-Activate the QuadScan Elite.

For NTSC, we reduce the number of captured lines from 480 down to 450 and can display the 450 without scaling. In PAL mode, we normally capture 576 lines, which is too many lines over 450 to truncate and display. Therefore, 800x600 SVGA does not display 16:9 mode in PAL. QuadScan Elite User's Manual...
