Product Overview
DESCRIPTION
The IN1503 is a high-resolution transcoder that accepts an interlaced or progressive scan analog
component video signal (R-Y / B-Y / Y) and converts it to RGBS or RGBHV. Many DVD players,
broadcast grade video players and HDTV tuners feature component video output signals. While most
presentation monitors and data projectors are not compatible with component video inputs, many of
these display devices are compatible with RGBHV signals. By transcoding component video signals
to RGBS or RGBHV, the IN1503 makes it possible to take advantage of the highest quality video
signal available from DVD players, high end video recorders and other industrial / broadcast video
equipment featuring analog component video outputs.
FEATURES
Wide Compatibility - The IN1503 is compatible with analog component video signals at NTSC and
PAL scan rates. The component video output connectors on professional / industrial video equipment
is often marked as R-Y / B-Y / Y. On DVD players it is usually marked as Y / CB / CR. The IN1503
is also compatible with HDTV analog component video signals at virtually any resolution.
High Bandwidth - Superb video bandwidth and dual interlaced / progressive scan compatibility make
the IN1503 an excellent choice for converting the analog component video output of an HDTV tuner
to RGBHV for viewing on a scan rate compatible display. With video bandwidth of 85 MHz, the
IN1503 offers ample performance for HD signals at 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i formats.
Note: Some data monitors are not compatible with interlaced video signals at HDTV scan rates.
Selectable Output Format - The output signal format can be set to RGBS or RGBHV as required by
the video distribution system and display devices. Output format is selected using a rear panel switch.
Rack Mountable - Two IN1503 transcoders can be rack mounted side-by-side in a 1U rack space
using the optional IN9080 rack shelf. A single IN1503 can be rack mounted with the IN9080 rack
shelf and an IN9088B blank plate.
Compatibility
INPUT
The IN1503 is compatible with interlaced and progressive scan analog component video signals at a
variety of scan rates. The unit accepts interlaced component video signals at NTSC and PAL scan
rates from DVD players, professional video equipment and other component video sources. The
IN1503 is compatible with progressive or interlaced analog component video signals from an HDTV
decoder or other HD source. The IN1503 transcoder will also accept high resolution progressive scan
component video signals from DVD players that feature progressive scan component video outputs.
The IN1503 is not compatible with HDTV devices
that output tri-level sync.
OUTPUT
The IN1503 output signal format can be set to RGBS or RGBHV as required by the video distribution
system and display devices. The output format is selected using a rear panel sync mode switch.

Installation and Operation
This section offers step-by-step instructions for installing the IN1503 high-resolution transcoder. An
application diagram is provided below.
1. Place / install the IN1503 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).
2. Connect the IN1503 output (5 BNC connectors) to a data output device (featuring an RGB video
input), using four or five ultra high-resolution BNC cables or a multi-conductor RGBHV or
RGBS "snake". The IN7000 / IN7200 / IN7300 Series cables are well suited for this purpose (see
RGB Input / Output Cables on page 4). While making connections, take care to insure that the
red output is connected to the red input, green output to the green input, etc.
3. Connect the DVD player, broadcast grade video player or HDTV tuner directly to the IN1503
input port using three ultra high-resolution BNC cables or a multi-conductor RGB “snake” such
as the IN7200-3.
4. Select the proper output format by adjusting the sync mode switch located on the back of the
transcoder. The output signal format can be set to RGBHV (factory default) or RGBS as required
by the video distribution system and display devices. Note: The polarity of the output sync is
always negative. This is true for both composite sync and H & V modes.
5. Connect power to the IN1503 using the IN9230 IEC power cable (included). The POWER LED
on the front of the unit will illuminate.
6. Turn on the video source and the presentation monitor / data projector. Once you have installed
the IN1503, operation is fully automatic.

SYNC STABILIZATION
The IN1503 includes a sync stabilization circuit specifically designed to correct video display
problems that sometimes occur with progressive scan signals containing copy guard protection.
The unit contains an internal 3-pin jumper (J2) that allows users to enable / disable the sync
stabilization circuit (see the IN1503 JUMPER ILLUSTRATION below). The following table shows
the appropriate pin settings for interlaced and progressive scan signal outputs:
Status J2 Jumper Setting
Sync Stabilization Disabled Pins 1 & 2 Connected (factory default)
Sync Stabilization Enabled Pins 2 & 3 Connected
Note: Sync stabilization is only functional when the IN1503 is in RGBHV OUTPUT MODE. The J2
setting has no effect on the output when the unit is in COMPOSITE SYNC MODE.
The SYNC STABILIZATION ENABLED MODE (pins 2 & 3 connected) is
designed for use with progressive scan signals containing copy guard
protection. It is not recommend for interlaced signals.

Warning: Adjustment of the IN1503 internal controls must only be
carried out by qualified technicians. Care must be taken to avoid static
shock to the internal components.

Troubleshooting
Problem: There is no image on the display device.
Solution 1: Make sure the IN9230 IEC power cable is securely plugged into the unit and the A/C
source.
Solution 2: Make sure the A/C source is live.
Solution 3: Verify that the power switch is turned on for the video source and the display device.
Solution 4: Verify the connection to the output display device.
Problem: The output image is missing a color.
Solution: The RGBHV / RGBS output cable may be bad. Try switching connections on the
output to verify that the missing color’s cable is OK (Example: If there is no red, try
running the green output through the red cable and see if green is displayed or not. If the
green output does not appear, replace the cable.
Problem: The image on the display device is rolling.
Solution: Make sure that the sync mode switch on the back of the unit is set properly. The sync
mode switch must be set to “C” when using an RGBS format, while systems requiring an
RGBHV format must be set to “HV.” Make sure that the rear panel sync mode switch is
in the proper position.
Problem: In RGBHV mode, the image on the display device appears grainy, is jumping or
otherwise unstable.
Solution: Progressive scan signals that contain copy guard can sometimes cause an unstable
image on the display device. Setting the J2 jumper (internal) for the sync stabilization
setting may help the problem (see SYNC STABILIZATION section on page 3).
