    Eight unbalanced stereo or mono audio inputs (five inputs on RCA connectors and three inputs on 3.5 mm mini stereo jacks) The IN1508 scales the video inputs to a variety of standard VGA and HDTV resolutions and any of up to 3 available refresh rates. The switcher outputs RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, or progressive component (Y, B-Y, R-Y) video on a 15-pin HD (VGA) connector.

    HDTV at a reduced blanking interval. The dual link configuration supports the higher bandwidth demands of displays that do not support reduced blanking. The IN1508 switcher supports a single link of DVI-D video. DVI uses a process called transmission minimized differential signaling (TMDS) for sending graphics data to a compatible monitor.
