Page 3: Product Overview
Product Overview DESCRIPTION The IN1401 is an advanced RGB Video Scaler that takes an RGB signal at various scan rates and resolutions and uses sophisticated digital video scaling technology to convert it to a standard VGA video signal. Industrial and Process Control Applications - The IN1401 can act as a bridge between the installed base of proprietary process control systems and modern data displays. -

IN1401, and that the power button is off. 1. Place / install the IN1401 at the desired location. Make sure that the unit is seated on a flat surface or is securely installed in a standard 19” equipment rack in a 1-U rack space (using the optional IN9080 rack shelf). -

4. Connect power to the IN1401 using the IN9230 IEC power cable (included). 5. Turn on the video source, the IN1401 and the monitor. The scaler has been factory pre-set to support plug and play operation with most display devices. If it becomes necessary to manually adjust / fine-tune the video image, refer to the INPUT SETTINGS section on pages 8 - 11 to achieve optimum picture quality. -

DELIMITERS - Use the on screen menu to select the desired command code delimiters. INLINE scalers can be set to recognize six sets of leading and end codes when using an RS-232 remote: parentheses ( ), brackets [ ], braces{ }, slashes \ /, less and greater than <... - Page 10 Output Vertical Refresh Rate Program Version Number Only the input horizontal scan rate and input vertical refresh rate are measured by the IN1401. If the input signal includes extra pulses (such as equalization or serration pulses), the input vertical refresh rate may indicate a value lower that the actual rate. All other values are simply repeated as defined by the input and output settings.

Page 11: Input Settings
INPUT SETTINGS The IN1401 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. All settings for each input and output mode (including non-standard input modes) are stored internally so the adjustments will not have to be repeated after they are optimized. - Page 12 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 IN1401 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 13 In Figure 3, the active area is adjusted incorrectly, as shown by the dashed lines. If the active pixels are set less that the actual active pixels, the IN1401 will only look for the active area inside this smaller region. This results in an active area containing fewer pixels than are really present.
- Page 14 • Check the On-Screen Menu: The input horizontal scan rate, as measured by the IN1401, may be found in the options menu under SYSTEMS INFO on page 7. • Multiply the input active pixels by 1.3 to approximate the input total pixels.

Page 15: Very Slow Input Signals
VERY SLOW INPUT SIGNALS If the input signal is very slow (pixel clock is less than 12 MHz), the IN1401 may display a poor image as it is only designed for signals above 12 MHz. To improve the quality of the image, simply increase the sampling rate by doubling the number of active pixels and total pixels by using the on screen menu. -
Page 16: Low Power Sleep Mode
The IN1401 menu may be displayed and adjusted without any video signal connected. If the IN1401 is in its low power mode, press menu or enter to turn on the unit and start the menu. All controls are available. The background will be blue if no signal is present and cannot be turned off until a signal is connected. -

9600 baud (factory default setting) Baud Rate Selection: The IN1401 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). -

IN1401 Transmit Terminal. Multiple IN1401 Transit Lines may not be connected together; otherwise signal contention from multiple units will result. Therefore, “receive” information is only available from one IN1401 in this configuration. Each unit must be set to different delimiters.

Solution 2: Make sure the A/C source is live. Solution 3: Verify that the power switch is turned on for the video source, the IN1401 and the monitor. Solution 4: Verify the connection to the output display device. Even with no input signal, the IN1401 menu can be displayed. - Page 22 The Input Scan Type is set incorrectly. For interlaced signals, select Scan Type and verify that the Interlaced Setting is turned on. Select the Interlaced Setting to toggle on / off. Problem: The monitor displays a double image. © 2002 - INLINE, Inc. IN1401 Operation Manual - v1.5 7/12/02 11:18 AM...
- Page 23 Problem: The settings on the IN1401 will not move to the desired values. Solution 1: The combination of settings on the IN1401 may be invalid. Please refer to the chart on page 15 (Limitations of Settings) to verify that the adjustments are within the Scaler’s operating perimeters.
