INTRODUCTION A Word about Inputs Image Manipulation — Any portion of an input image can be extracted and expanded to fill the output raster. Image characteristics such as brightness, saturation and gamma can be adjusted. The system also enables you to zoom, pan and freeze an input source, and if the size of the output image is reduced, the background can be black, a solid color, or a shaded color. Remote control — Using a command line interface, complete system control is supported v

As standard, Quadra provides four identical DVI-I output connectors — one per output channel. Each output connector is dedicated to a specific input channel, and each output connector supports one analog or one digital output. Each channel’s input signals are converted to that channel’s selected output resolut

INTRODUCTION Quadra Control Maximum number of lines that can be processed These factors are all interrelated with the system’s refresh rate (also known as “frame rate”). When configuring a channel’s output, please keep the following rules of thumb in mind: Sample rate is directly proportional to the product of: (# of pixels per line) x (# lines) x (refresh rate) Therefore, if a higher refresh rate is desired, the sample rate must be increased. For example: ~ A 1600 x 1200 output @ 60

INTRODUCTION Feature Summary The RS-232 serial port connects to an ASCII terminal, any computer with a serial port or an external device such as a touchpad. Commands are sent from the terminal or computer to the Quadra. The Ethernet port (10/100BaseT) allows a Quadra system to be connected to a local area network (LAN) or directly to a PC that is properly equipped with a network card. Note that direct connection requires the use of an Ethernet hub or Ethernet cross-over cable. Figu
