1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Focus Enhancements QuadScan Elite Video Scaler. The QuadScan product family is a
series of products intended to scale standard analog NTSC or PAL television sources such as DVD players, satellite,
or cable TV to high resolution progressive RGB output display devices.
The QuadScan Elite is a cost-effective high-resolution Video Scaler & Quadrupler providing high quality video
enhancement at a fraction of the cost. Functioning as a video scaler, QuadScan Elite enables output to high-
resolution displays from 640x480 to 1365x1024 to support the new high-resolution and digital displays (LCD, DLP,
D-ILA, plasma, etc.).
Functioning as a line tripler or quadrupler, the QuadScan Elite eliminates visible scan lines and flicker from standard
video. The resulting picture, with its improved detail and color quality, is ideally suited for professional presentation
and home theater applications.
In addition to scaling incoming video to the optimum resolution of the display device, the QuadScan Elite provides
two other functions in significantly improving the displayed quality of television. First, the video is de-interlaced for
presentation on a non-interlaced device, removing the effects of interlaced flicker. Second, the video is “motion
compensated”, automatically detecting the input source (i.e. still video, motion video, or film) and processing the
video for minimal motion artifacts.
The QuadScan Elite is intended for use with two major types of users: Professional AV Users and Home Theater
Users. Professional AV users will be able to control all of the QuadScan Elite functions from popular control
environments via RS-232/422. Home Theater Users will be able to access powerful video enhancement features
previously found only in devices costing $10,000 and up.
This manual serves two purposes: 1) Quick Start Procedure, and 2) Reference Guide. If you are familiar with video
systems or you just want a quick start, you may want to skip ahead to either Section 2.1; QuadScan Desktop Version
Installation, or Section 2.2; QuadScan Rackmount Version Installation for specific information on installing your
QuadScan Elite.

2 Installation
Installation of all QuadScan Elite products is a simple and quick procedure, but is slightly different for each of the
following versions.
Figure 1 - QuadScan Elite Desktop Back Plate Diagram

QuadScan Elite User's Manual
2.1 QuadScan Desktop Version Installation
Follow these steps to install your Desktop QuadScan Elite.
1. Turn all system components off.
2. Select a convenient location for the QuadScan Elite.
3. Plug the QuadScan Elite wall mount power supply into an appropriate outlet or power strip. Plug the 2.5mm
connector of the wall mount power supply into the QuadScan Elite.
4. Determine the signal connections on the Projector.
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.
If the display device has a cable that terminates in a HD-15 Male connector, this device may be directly
connected to the Hi-Res Out connector of the QuadScan Elite using a standard VGA cable, usually supplied
with the projector. Connect one end of the HD-15 Male Connector to the Hi-Res Output connector of the
QuadScan Elite. Connect the other end of the HD15 Male Cable to the HD-15 Female input of the display
device.
5. Determine the required signal connections for the input sources to the QuadScan Elite. In all cases, it is best to
connect your selected input source to the QuadScan Elite Channel A connector if a second channel is not
required.
Using the Composite (BNC or RCA) input source
If the input source has a BNC connector, you can connect directly to the QuadScan Elite’s Channel A or B
Composite IN connector with the supplied BNC Male to BNC Male Cable.
If the input source has an RCA connector, attach one of the supplied RCA Female to BNC Male adapters to the
QuadScan Elite’s channel A or B Composite IN connectors. Connect the input source to the adapter with an
RCA Male to RCA Male cable (not supplied).
Using the S-VHS (Y/C) input source
If the input source has a S-VHS (Y/C) connector, you can connect directly to the QuadScan Elite’s Channel A or B
S-VHS (Y/C) IN connector with the supplied S-VHS (Y/C) Male to S-VHS (Y/C) Male Cable.

QuadScan Elite User's Manual
13
Component input sources will have either RCA or BNC connections
If the component input source has BNC connectors, you will need a 5 BNC Male to 5 BNC Male Cable (SKU
# 444-5914), (actually only 3 wires of the 5 wire cable will be required). Connect the Y channel of the
component source to the QuadScan Elite Channel A or B Y IN connector. 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.
If the component input source has RCA connectors, attach three of the supplied RCA Female to BNC Male
adapters to the channel A or B Y IN, (Pr) IN and (Pb) IN connectors. Connect the component input source to
the adapter with an RCA Male to RCA Male cable(s) (not supplied). Connect the Y channel of the component
source to the QuadScan Elite Channel A or B Y IN connector. Connect the (Pr) channel of the component
source to the QuadScan Elite Channel A or B (Pr) IN connector. Connect the (Pb) channel of the component
source to the QuadScan Elite Channel A or B (Pb) IN connector.
If a VGA pass through is desired you will need to connect the optional HD15 Female to HD15 Male
Cable.
Connect the VGA device’s HD-15 output to the QuadScan Elite’s VGA IN connector with this cable.
•Turn all of the system components on
•Make sure the correct input channel (RGB/Sync or Hi-Res) for the Video Projector is selected on the display device
•Turn the input device(s) on
•Turn the VGA pass-through device on.
If the system has been correctly installed, you will see one of the sources appearing on the display device. The
QuadScan Elite signal priority scheme is as follows. As configured from the factory, the default resolution is
Double TV and the default signal priority scheme is automatic. The signal priority scheme will automatically
detect all active signals present on the QuadScan Elite input connectors and automatically select the highest
priority signal for processing. The signal priority is:
1. VGA pass through
2. Channel A Component
3. Channel B Component
4. Channel A S-Video
5. Channel B S-Video
6. Channel A Composite
7. Channel B Composite
NOTE:
The QuadScan Elite saves user information including resolution and selected input source. If this is other than a
first time installation, the above resolution and signal priority scheme may not be in effect.
The Video Projector should always be optimized for best performance before making any adjustments or
changes to the QuadScan Elite Video Scaler. Refer to the manufacturer’s User Manual for information on how to
best setup the video projector.

QuadScan Elite User's Manual
2.2 QuadScan Rackmount Version Installation

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. A Front Panel button push can be followed by an IR Remote control
command).
NOTE:
Not all control features are accessible by the IR remote control. This provision is deliberately intended to prevent the
user of an IR remote Control from accidentally changing the resolution to an unsupported resolution, (causing the
display to “disappear”), etc.
QuadScan Elite control functions are grouped into one of the following areas:
CONTROL FUNCTION FACTORY DEFAULT
•Output Screen Aspect Ratio (4:3 A, B, C, 16:9 A, B, C) 4:3A
•Reset and Control Functions (Mode Reset, Full Reset, IR Enable/Disable) IR ENABLE
•DSP= Display (Motion Processing) (Auto, Still, Film, Motion) AUTO
•Signal Routing (Channel A to B pass through) CHANNEL A & B ARE INPUTS
•Output Sync Signal Configuration (3, 4, 5 wire) 5 WIRE
•Output Display Device Configuration (Resolution and implied Aspect Ratio) DBL TV
•Source Termination (75 Ohm or UN-terminated) CHANNEL A&B ARE
TERMINATED
•Input Source Selection (Auto, VGA, Component, S-Video, Composite) AUTO
•Input Video Functions (Hue, Saturation, Brightness and Contrast) H=0, S=128, B=16, C=128
•Output Window Control (Size and Position) NONE
•Input Source Window Control (Input Size and Position) NONE
•Input Aspect Ratio Selection (16:9 Anamorphic, 4:3 full screen, 4:3 letterbox) 4:3 Full Screen
Each of the controls has one of three possible types of control parameters associated with it:
♦Toggle (the function is either on or off),
♦Multiple Choice (there are several, mutually exclusive options)
♦Range (the parameter varies over a range of values for a particular function).
If the controlled item is a Toggle (i.e. Channel Termination, etc.), with a position of either On or Off, then the activation
of any one of the arrow buttons will toggle the state of the controlled item.
If the controlled item is a Multiple Choice (i.e. Input Source, Output Resolution) with several mutually exclusive
positions, then the activation of the Up Arrow or Down Arrow buttons will Increment or Decrement the state of the
controlled item to the next state. When the last state is reached, depressing the Up or Down arrow buttons again will
advance you to either the first or last controlled item in the list.
If the controlled item is a Range (i.e. Hue, Sat, Input Horizontal and Vertical Size and Position, etc), then the four arrow
buttons increase or decrease the value of these quantities. The increase or decrease is proportional to the length of time
that the button is pressed.

QuadScan Elite User's Manual
2.3 Output Screen Aspect Ratio
2.3.1 Output Screen Aspect Ratio (Multiple) (Not Available from IR remote Control)
The Output Screen Aspect Ratio control interacts with the Output Display Device Configuration and Input Aspect
Ratio Selection to position the scaled and processed image in the best screen position for the given combination. It
is important to remember that the Screen aspect ratio is different from the Display Device aspect ratio. For example,
using a D-ILA projection system with a display device resolution of 1365 x 1024, aspect ratio of 4:3, a user may
optimize his projection room for 16:9 viewing by focusing the projector on a 16:9 screen. This will effectively
reduce the resolution of the projection system to 1365 x 768. The pixels outside the 1365 x 768 viewing area are
still active (although black) and may be focused on the floor or the ceiling to achieve the desired maximum viewing
area at 16:9. Since the exact position of the 1365 x 768 “active video” window within the 1365 x 1024 raster of the
D-ILA is not known, 3 position settings are provided:
Position setting Aplaces the 1365 x 768 active video strip at the top of the 1365 x 1024 raster.
Position setting Bplaces the 1365 x 768 active video strip in the middle of the 1365 x 1024 raster.
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. The choices of Output Screen
Size are:
Output Aspect Ratio Front Panel Designation
16:9 Top 16:9A
16:9 Middle 16:9B
16:9 Bottom 16:9C
4:3 Top 4:3A
4:3 Middle 4:3B
4:3 Bottom 4:3C
Since Triple TV and Quadruple TV are 16:9, modes the 4:3 output aspect ratio will be:
4:3 Left 4:3A
4:3 Middle 4:3B
4:3 Right 4:3C
The Output Aspect Ratio Control default is 4:3A. With NTSC sources the Output Aspect Ratio of VGA and DBL
TV modes are only 4:3, even though the front panel display allows the selection of a 16:9 mode.
With PAL TV sources, the Output Aspect Ratio of VGA, SVGA and DBL TV modes are only 4:3, even though the
front panel display allows the selection of a 16:9 mode.
NOTE:
For a simplified explanation of what the Output Aspect Ratio does and how it relates to the Input Aspect Ratio, see
Appendix B, Input Aspect Ratio to Output Aspect Ratio Primer.

This control enables/disables IR Remote Control.
2.4.2 Mode Reset
This control resets the current mode to its factory default (See Section 3 QuadScan Elite Control Functions, for the
factory default settings). Each “mode” is defined as being an Input Source-Output Resolution combination. (For
example, PAL composite input on Channel B scaled to XGA output is one mode). The Mode Reset control affects
only the current mode; all others will remain as previously configured by the user.
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).

2.5 Motion Processing
2.5.1 Motion Processing (Multiple Choice)
This control determines which type of video motion processing will be applied. The options are:
Motion Processing Mode & Front Panel Designation
Auto
Film
Motion
Still
Automatic Processing (Auto) analyzes the incoming video program material and selects the most appropriate motion
treatment from the three remaining options. Film Processing (3:2 Pulldown) is used to compensate for the motion
artifacts of video program material from film sources. Motion Processing is used to compensate for the motion artifacts
of motion video program material originating from 60 Hz. (50 Hz. PAL) video sources. Still Processing is used to
deliver the highest possible resolution for still video program material (such as the output of a document camera focused
on a page). The default Motion Processing is AUTO.
Motion Processing Selection is indicated by “DSP=” followed by the above-mentioned designation on the
QuadScan Elite Front Panel Display.
2.6 Signal Routing
2.6.1 Component Y Pb Pr Pass Through (Toggle) (Not available from IR remote control)
This control determines whether the Component television input on Channel A is routed through (passed through), to
Channel B or not. If the signal is “passed through”, the input on Channel A will appear as an output on Channel B. If the
signal is not passed through, 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.
2.6.2 S-VHS (Y/C) Pass Through (Toggle) (Not available from IR remote control)
This control determines whether the S-VHS (Y/C) input on Channel A is routed through to Channel B or not.
If the signal is “passed through” S-VHS (Y/C) signal that is input on Channel A will appear as an output on Channel B.
If the signal is not passed through, Channel B will be configured as an input. The default is Channel B configured as an
input.
S-VHS (Y/C) Channel B Configuration is indicated by “SVHS B=PASS” or “SVHS B=INPUT” on the QuadScan Elite
Front Panel Display.

2.6.3 Composite Pass Through (Toggle) (Not available from IR remote control)
This control determines whether the Composite input on Channel A is routed through to Channel B or not.
If the signal is “passed through” the Composite signal that is on Channel A will appear as an output on Channel B. If the
signal is not passed through, 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.
2.7 Output Sync Signal Configuration
2.7.1 Output Sync Signal Configuration (Multiple Choice) (Not available from IR remote
control)
This control determines where the output video synchronization signals will be placed
Output Sync Front Panel Designation
Separate H and V (pins 13 and 14) Osync= 5WIRE
Separate Composite Sync (pin 14) Osync= 4WIRE
Composite Sync on Green (pin 2) Osync= 3WIRE
The Default is Separate Sync (H and V) on pins 13 & 14.
