Operation
This section focuses on operating the IN1408 using the front panel controls and commands. All
adjustments, set-up functions and switching operations can be performed through the front panel or
remotely via RS-232 serial commands or the optional IR remote control. Information on using the
optional CTL120 IR remote can be found on page 41.
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
Input Select: Selects the audio and video source. The large buttons labeled INPUT 1, INPUT 2,
INPUT 3, INPUT 4 INPUT 5, INPUT 6, INPUT 7, and INPUT 8 are used to select the desired
input. After turning on the IN1408, press and release the desired INPUT SELECT Button. A green
LED will light underneath the button to indicate the selected input. The stereo audio signal associated
with the input will automatically be selected at the same time. All audio, video and input settings for
each input are stored internally (in memory) so the adjustment(s) will not have to be repeated after
they are optimized. To switch to another input, simply press and release another numbered INPUT
SELECT Button.
ÁNote: When powered up, the scaler automatically returns to the last configuration, including
the last input selected.
The BLANK Button can be used at any time to show a blank screen on the display device. When
blank is engaged, the output setting goes to black but the sync signals continue, ensuring that the data
display device retains sync lock. Simply press and release the button to engage blanking (the green
LED underneath the button will illuminate), and press and release it again to disengage.
ÁNote: The blank button has no effect on inputs 5 - 8 when they are configured as passive
inputs.
Freeze Frame: Allows users to freeze the video signal and display a still image. Simply press and
release the button to engage the function (the green LED below the button will illuminate), then press
and release again to disengage.
ÁNote: The freeze button has no effect on inputs 5 - 8 when they are configured as passive
inputs
Volume: The volume buttons are used to regulate the level of the audio signals routed through the
scaler. Use the ¾/ ¿volume buttons to increase / decrease the audio level for the current input.
Press and release a button to raise / lower the volume level by one step, or press and hold a button to
change the level continuously. Digital sound is a passive signal and can only be muted.
ÁNote: The IN1408 saves the volume levels for each input automatically.
Audio Mute: Mutes the audio for the selected input. Press the button to engage (the green LED
below the button will illuminate), and press again to disengage.
Menu Buttons: The remaining buttons on the front panel (MENU, ¾,¿, ½, ¼and ENTER) are
used to access and adjust the on-screen display menu. An illustration of the On Screen Display Menu
System is provided on the next page.

ON SCREEN MENU
To access the main menu, press the MENU or ENTER Button. Use the arrow buttons to maneuver
around within the menu display. Press ENTER to select and save a command, or press MENU to exit
(out of the menu). All audio, video, input and output settings for each input and each output mode are
stored internally (in memory) so the adjustments will not have to be repeated after they are optimized.
The MAIN MENU commands and their functions are:
VIDEO - Changes input signal video parameters
AUDIO - Changes input signal audio parameters
INPUT -Changes input signal parameters
OUTPUT -Changes output signal parameters
ADVANCED -Displays advanced options
Menu Commands
VIDEO MENU
The IN1408 allows users to manually adjust the brightness, contrast, RGB gain, color, hue, sharpness,
gamma, noise filter, and comb / trap filter settings.
To access the video adjustment menu via the front panel control buttons, press the desired INPUT
SELECT Button, press MENU, press the ¿or ¾button (if necessary) to reach the video menu, then
press ENTER. Use the ¾and ¿buttons and the ENTER key to select the setting you wish to adjust.
After selecting a setting, use the ½and ¼buttons to make the adjustments. Press and release a button
to move by one step in either direction. Press and hold a button to move continuously through the
adjustment range. Once you’ve optimized the setting for the current input, press ENTER to save.
Key Concept
Save It or Lose It!
After you have optimized a setting, save it by pressing the ENTER BUTTON.
It is critical that you save the setting before proceeding to another input or
another menu function, otherwise your new adjustment will be lost.
If these settings seem confusing, we recommend that you experiment with the
MENU, ¾,¿, ½, ¼and ENTER Buttons until you familiarize yourself with
the IN1408 front panel control operations. It’s a good idea to get comfortable
using these buttons to navigate through the on-screen menu system before
moving on to other sections of this manual. If you get lost, enter unfamiliar
territory or are afraid of making an improper selection, pressing the MENU
button allows you to leave the menu system safely without making any changes.
We also recommend that, unless you’re a qualified audiovisual technician, you
should avoid entering the Advanced Menu

The following video adjustment parameters can be controlled via the on-screen menu system which
can be accessed using the front panel buttons or the optional CTL120 IR remote control. See page 41
for information on using the CTL120 IR remote.
ÁNote: Video adjustments do not affect inputs configured for RGB passive.
Brightness Setting: Adjusts the input signal brightness.
Range: 0 to 255 Factory Default Setting: 128
Operation: Press ½button to increase the brightness.
Press ¼button to decrease the brightness.
Contrast: Adjusts the difference between the input signal’s brightest and darkest settings. At the
minimum setting the entire picture is displayed at about the same brightness (very grayish). At the
maximum setting there is a great difference between the darkest and lightest parts of the screen.
Range: 0 to 255 Factory Default Setting: 128
Operation: Press ½button to increase the contrast.
Press ¼button to decrease the contrast.
Color Saturation: Adjusts the color saturation of the picture over a wide range. Setting this control

IN1408 Operation Manual - V1.4 3/21/02 12:32 PM © 2002 - INLINE, Inc.
Sharpness: Uses variable filtering to affect input picture detail and definition. This control is only
available for composite, S-Video, component interlaced and RGBS interlaced signals.
Range: 0 to 8 Factory Default Setting: 3
Operation: Press ½button to increase the sharpness.
Press ¼button to decrease the sharpness.
ÁNote: Increasing the sharpness setting gives the visual effect that the noise filter setting is
decreasing. Although the sharpness and noise filter settings seem to offset each other, they
are actually two different adjustments that affect two different sets of circuitry. Operators
should adjust both settings until optimal picture quality is achieved.
Gamma: The 30 active gamma correction curves programmed into the IN1408 are used to
compensate for the non-linear response of many display devices. Before adjusting Gamma, the
brightness and contrast controls should be set at factory default positions. Once the proper gamma
setting has been achieved, the brightness and contrast settings should then be optimized to fine
tune the image. This control is only available for composite and S-Video signals only.
Range: 1 to 30 Factory Default Setting: 10*
Operation: Press ½button to step to higher numbered gamma curves.
Press ¼button to step to lower numbered gamma curves.
9600 The factory default setting of 10 corresponds to a gamma correction curve of 1.0
Noise Filter: Changes the input signal noise filter. This control is only available for composite and
S-Video signals.
Range: 0 to 47 Factory Default Setting: 9
Operation: Press ½button to increase noise filter.
Press ¼button to decrease noise filter.
ÁNote: Increasing the noise filter setting gives the effect that the picture sharpness setting is
decreasing. Decreasing the noise filter will effectively add more image detail. Review the
Sharpness setting section on the previous page.
Comb/Trap Filter: Selects the comb filter, trap filter or turns both off. This control is only available
for composite signals.
The comb filter electronically provides excellent Luma / Chroma separation (separates the
color from the picture signal). This greatly reduces cross-color interference and hanging dots
while maintaining image bandwidth and detail (applies to composite, S-Video and
Component A signal formats only).
The trap filter extracts luminance from the picture. Generally speaking, the trap filter is
usually the preferred setting when running signals from a VCR (as composite video). You
may wish to compare both settings to determine which is best for your application.
Reset Video Settings: Resets all video settings to factory default (for current input only).

INPUT MENU
Key Concept
To access the input menu via the front panel control buttons, press the desired INPUT SELECT
Button, press MENU, press the ¿or ¾button (if necessary) to reach the input menu, then press
ENTER. Use the ¾and ¿buttons and the ENTER key to select the setting you wish to adjust.
Once you’ve optimized the setting for the current input, press ENTER to save.
Signal Format: Use this control to select the signal format for each input. Inputs 1 - 8 can accept
either composite or S-Video signals. Inputs 5 - 8 also accept component, progressive component,
RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB or RGB Passive. Inputs 5&6 are the only inputs to accept DVI / TMDS
digital video signals. On Inputs 1 - 4, the composite and S-Video connections are internally wired
together; therefore, either composite or S-Video can be connected to each input, but not both at the
same time. Refer to the Installation Section on page 7 for the specific connections for each signal
format.
Signal Formats available are:
• Composite
• S-Video
• Component Interlaced
(Sub-menu selects NTSC / PAL / SECAM format)
• Component Progressive
• RGBS Interlaced
• RGB Progressive
(Sub-menu selects RGBHV / RGBS / RGsB format)
• DVI Digital
• RGB Passive (Passive Switching with No Scaling or Controls Available)
Compatible with RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, Component Video Progressive or Interlaced
Signals
To configure the inputs for a specific Signal Format:
• Press the ENTER or MENU Button to access the main menu.
• Highlight INPUT and press ENTER to access the input menu (use the ¾and ¿arrow
buttons to highlight the appropriate menu command).
• Highlight SIGNAL FORMAT and press ENTER to access the input selection menu.
• Highlight the input you want to configure and press ENTER to access the signal format
menu.
• Select the signal format for each individual input (use the ¾and ¿buttons to select the
desired signal format).
• Press ENTER to save the signal format into memory.

Key Concept
Aspect Ratio – The aspect ratio controls can be used to vary the relative image width and height.
They can be used to accommodate various input signal aspect ratios as well as output device
aspect ratios. The output aspect ratio is selected by choosing the appropriate resolution in the
output menu (see Output Modes Section on page 27).
Standard: For Standard 1.33 input signals (sometimes referred to as full
screen).
Anamorphic: This setting provides vertical image squeezing to accommodate
anamorphically enhanced DVDs.
Wide Screen: For wide screen 1.78 input signals (letterbox).
Wider Screen: For wider screen 2.35 input signals (narrow letterbox).
Expand: Designed for wide screen (letterbox) signals viewed on 4:3 aspect
ratio displays. Expand mode zooms in on the center of the image
and crops the image vertically and horizontally so that the black
bars above and below the image are removed. In this mode, some
image is also lost on the right and left hand edges.
Most DVDs and VCRs put out a 4:3 signal. How this signal is filled with video determines its
aspect ratio. In the following examples, four different input aspect ratios are shown on the left as
they would be displayed in their native 4:3 format. The same signals are shown on the right as
they would appear on the output after scaling.
It is critical that the signal format be selected properly for each input. If the
input is not properly configured to match the input signal, the scaler will not
function properly and will either display a distorted image or no image at all.
Using the on-screen menu, operators can set / change the input signal format
at any time, even when another input is active. For example: an operator
can configure the signal format for Input 1 while the display device is
presenting a signal that is passing through Input 3. This method is required
to deselect the RGB passive signal format, since the on-screen menu cannot
be seen while in this mode. These details are discussed in the Pass-Through
RGB Video Section on page 27.
