video scaler and how to operate the optional IR 901 infrared remote control
(part #70-152-01).
Throughout this manual the terms “IN1502”, “video scaler”, and “scaler” are
used interchangeably to refer to the same product.
About the IN1502
What is the IN1502?
The IN1502 is a video scaler that offers 16 output rates and provides scaling
solutions for boardrooms, conference rooms, and home theaters, as well as rental
and staging applications.
To enable superior scaling performance, the IN1502 features several of Extron’s
patented and patent-pending technologies, including Dynamic Motion
Interpolation (DMI
) technology, and 3:2 and 2:2 pulldown detection. DMI is an
advanced motion detection and compensation method that enables image
enhancement with no loss of image fidelity.
The IN1502 scales composite video and S-video up to computer video (RGBHV/
RGBS), which can be output to a display device via a 15-pin HD connector.
Controlling the IN1502 video scaler
The IN1502 can be controlled using one or more of the following methods:
The front panel controls
• A computer, a touch screen panel, or any other device that can send and
receive the serial communications through the RS-232 port. Extron’s
Simple Instruction Set (SIS
) is a set of simple keystroke commands that
can be used with any such devices.
• The optional IR 901 remote control, which has most of the front panel controls
Features and Options
Features
Two video inputs
Input 1 — One BNC connector on the rear panel accepts a composite video
signal.
Input 2 — One 4-pin DIN connector on the rear panel accepts an S-video
signal.
Video output — One VGA-type 15-pin HD connector provides an RGB output.
Three ways to control the scaler — The scaler’s front panel, a computer or other
RS-232 control device, or the optional IR 901 remote control can all be used
to control the scaler.
Scaled outputs — The IN1502 offers 16 different output rates.
RS-232 configuration — The IN1502 can be configured by using a control
system.
Dynamic Motion Interpolation (DMI) — This video processing technique is an
advanced motion prediction and compensation method that treats motion
content and still content with different algorithms to yield high fidelity
images.
