Input Presets
The IN1806 and IN1808 Series scalers have 128 memory slots in which you can save
input presets. These presets are global to all inputs that contain the settings for use with
a matrix switcher. A matrix switcher with multiple types of video inputs (such as an XTP
matrix switcher) can be placed upstream from the IN1806 and IN1808 Series to expand the
number of video sources.
Input presets can be saved and recalled only through SIS commands (see the
IN1806 and IN1808 Series PCS Help File
).
•
When you recall an input preset, the unit fills the output raster based on the sizing and
positioning that it had at the time the preset was saved. For example, a video source
that was configured to be zoomed when it was previously saved as a preset is still
zoomed, even if recalled to a smaller output raster.
•
Input presets can be saved based on one input rate and recalled to a different rate. This
enables presets to be used as aspect ratio or other quick-sizing shortcuts. Because the
size and position is saved as a percent of the raster, the preset can be recalled to any
scaled output and the saved size and position are scaled proportionally on the output.
Values for the following settings are saved in input presets:
•
Preset name
•
Horizontal image position
•
Film mode detection
•
Vertical image position
•
Contrast
•
Horizontal image size (width)
•
Brightness
•
Vertical image size (height)

Saving a preset when using a matrix switcher
When using the IN1806 or IN1808 with a matrix switcher, do the following to save a preset:
1.
Switch each input of the matrix to the IN1806 or IN1808.
2.
Configure each input: size, position, detail, brightness, and contrast.
3.
Save the settings to a preset for recall by the control system when that matrix input is
routed to any IN1806 or IN1808 Series input.
Power Save Modes
The IN1806 and IN1808 Series can be placed into a standby (low power) mode via SIS
commands (see the
on page 69) in order to conserve power. To
restore the unit to full power mode, enter the appropriate SIS command, press any front
panel button, switch inputs via SIS command, or cycle power to the unit. The following
power save modes are supported:
•
Mode 0 — Full power mode
•
Mode 1 — All non-essential hardware is shut down.
•
Mode 2 — All non-essential hardware is shut down, but over-TP functionality and
remote power remain enabled.
