1 Introduction  
The Focus Enhancements TView QuadScan product family is a series of products intended to receive analog  
television signals in various formats, scale them upwards in resolution and play them back on high-resolution  
projection devices. Using the QuadScan, users can vastly improve the visual quality of television sources.  
The QuadScan is a Video Scaler, which means that the output resolution can be controlled or “scaled” to fit the  
resolution of the output device. “Line Doubling” and “Line Quadrupling” are just 2 of the many scaling modes of  
the QuadScan’s operation.  
In addition to scaling incoming video to the optimum resolution of the display device, the QuadScan provides 2  
other functions in significantly improving the displayed quality of television: 1) the video is de-interlaced for  
presentation on a non-interlaced device, removing the effects of interlaced flicker and 2) 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 III is intended for use in two major type of users: Professional AV Users, and Home Theater Users  
Professional AV users will be able to control all of the QuadScan’s control 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.  
1.1 Intent of this Manual  
This manual is intended to specifically cover the requirements of users of desktop and rackmount QuadScans. At the time  
of writing, a PCI bus version is planned. This product will require a different manual.  
All references made by this manual to "QuadScan" (without suffix of any kind) refer generically to any member of the  
QuadScan product family.  
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 the appropriate installation section, plug the  
QuadScan and give it a try.

1.2 The QuadScan Family  
The QuadScan product family consists of one common technology implemented on a common circuit board. Different  
packaging is added to the base product to provide specific options.  
1.2.1 Desktop or Rackmount  
Desktop Units are standalone items that accept 13 – 20 VDC power from a UL listed power supply. Users of Desktop  
QuadScans may choose between American compatible, wall mount transformers, with standard American plug  
configuration (shipped automatically with QuadScan Desktop orders, SKU# 444-5520), or deskmount universal power  
supplies (shipped with QuadScan Desktop International orders, SKU#444-5524). Desktop universal power supplies  
terminate in an IEC-320 connector (the same connector that you see on the back of PC computers). You must supply the

wallmount power supply into the QuadScan.  
Determine the signal connections on the display device.  
If the display device has BNC inputs, you will require an HD15 Male to 5 BNC Male Cable (SKU# 444-5906).  
Connect the HD-15 side of this cable into the Hi-Res Output of the QuadScan. 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 an HD-15 Male connector, this device may be directly  
connected to the Hi-Res Out connector of the QuadScan.  
If the display device has a cable that terminates in an HD-15 Female connector, you will require an HD15 Male  
to HD15 Male Cable (SKU# 444-5008). Connect one end of the HD-15 Male Connector to the Hi-Res Output  
connector of the QuadScan. Connect the other end of the HD15 Male to HD15 Male Cable to the HD-15  
Female input of the display device.  
Determine the required signal connections for the television device(s). In all cases, it is best to connect to the QuadScan’s  
Channel A connector if a second channel is not required.  
Composite sources will have either RCA or BNC connections.  
If the source has a BNC connector, you can connect directly to the Channel A or B NTSC/PAL IN connector  
with the supplied BNC Male to BNC Male Cable.  
If the source has an RCA connector, attach one of the supplied RCA Female to BNC Male adapters to the  
channel A or B NTSC/PAL IN connectors. Connect the Television device to the adapter with an RCA Male to

Connect the VGA device’s HD-15 output to the QuadScan’s VGA IN connector with this cable.  
Turn the all of the system components on. Makes sure that the correct input channel of the display device is selected on  
the display device. Turn the television source(s) on. Tune the VGA source material on.  
If the system has been correctly installed, you will see one of the sources appearing on the display device. The  
QuadScan’s signal priority scheme is as follows. As configured from the factory, the default resolution is 640 x 480, and  
the default signal priority scheme is automatic. (The automatic signal priority scheme will automatically detect all active  
signals present on the QuadScan’s 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.) The QuadScan 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.

3 QuadScan Control Functions  
All of the powerful features of the QuadScan that can be controlled through by its three methods of control described in  
section 4: front panel control, RS-232/422 and IR remote control. All methods are interchangeable and simultaneously  
active (i. e. a front panel button push can be followed by an IR remote control command).  
Not all controllable items are accessible by the IR remote mouse. This provision is deliberately intended to prevent the  
user of an IR remote mouse from accidentally changing the resolution to an unsupported resolution, (an causing the  
display to “disappear”), etc.  
QuadScan control functions are grouped into one of the following areas:  
Component Level (BetaCam, SMPTE)  
Output Screen Aspect Ratio (4:3, 16:9)  
Reset and Control Functions (Mode Reset, Full Reset, IR Enable/Disable)  
Motion Processing (Still, Film, Motion Video)  
Signal Routing (Channel A to B pass through)  
Output Sync Signal Configuration (3,4,5 wire)  
Output Display Device Configuration (Resolution and implied Aspect Ratio)  
Source Termination (75 Ohm or Unterminated)  
Input Source Selection (Composite, S-Video, Component, VGA)  
Input Television Video Functions (Hue, Saturation, Brightness and Contrast)  
Output Window Control (Size and Position)  
Input Television Window Control (Input Size and Position)  
Input Aspect Ratio Selection (16:9 anamorphic, 4:3 full screen, 4:3 letterbox)  
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).  
3.1 Component Level  
3.1.1 Component Level Selection (Toggle) (Not available from IR remote mouse)  
This control selects the component signal level to BETA (Betacam Levels) or SMPTE (SMPTE Levels). The default is  
BETA.

3.2 Output Screen Aspect Ratio  
3.2.1 Output Screen Aspect Ratio (Multiple) (Not Available from IR remote mouse)  
The Output Screen Aspect Ratio control interacts with the Output Display Device Configuration and Input Aspect  
Ratio Selection to position the scaled and process image in the best screen position for a 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 focussed into 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:  
A) positions the 1365 x 768 active video strip at the top of the 1365 x 1024 raster.  
B) positions the 1365 x 768 active video strip in the middle of the 1365 x 1024 raster.  
C) positions the 1365 x 768 active video strip at the bottom of the 1365 x 1024 raster.  
When 16:9 Output Aspect Ratio is selected, the QuadScan 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:

4 QuadScan Control Methods  
QuadScan models can be controlled in one of 3 different ways: Front Panel, RS-232/422, or InfraRed Remote Control.  
The following sections detail the use of each of these control mechanisms. In all cases, the state of a particular function of  
the QuadScan is indicated on the QuadScan’s Front Panel LED readout. On power-up, the LED display indicates  
“QUADSCAN”.  
4.1 Front Panel Control  
The QuadScan Front Panel gives the user access to all of the control parameters detailed in section 3.1. Figure 2 indicates  
the placement of the buttons and LED display on the Front Panel of the QuadScan.  
The controls are arranged such that the user can cycle through a circular list of controllable functions with the + or -  
buttons. Using the + button advances the controlled item to the next item in the list. Using the - button reverses the  
controlled item to the previous item in the list. Depending on the nature of the controlled item, the directional arrow  
buttons function differently.  
If the controlled item is a Toggle (i. e. Channel Termination, Zoom, 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, the next state will be the first state.  
If the controlled item is a Range (i. e. Input Horizontal and Vertical Size and Position, etc), then the 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.

4.1.1 Locking the Front Panel  
A special combination of buttons (the Locking Sequence) makes it possible to freeze control input such that the QuadScan  
will not respond to Control Panel or IR remote or RS-232/422 commands until a second special combination of buttons  
(the Unlocking Sequence) is entered. The locking sequence consists of: Advance the panel menu to “QuadScan”, first  
press the “down” key and while still pressing the “down” key, press the “-“ key. The LED readout will indicate  
"LOCKED" and all further input will be ignored until the Unlocking Sequence is entered. The Unlocking Sequence  
consists of: First press the “down” key and while still pressing the “down” key, press the “+“ key. Locking will persist  
even after the QuadScan is power cycled. All input from the IR remote control will be ignored. The Locking and  
Unlocking Sequence may be delivered by the RS-232/422 link as indicated in section 4.3 below.

4.2 IR Remote Control  
The hand held IR remote control enables the user to access many of the functions of the QuadScan. Since the IR unit is  
intended to access the most commonly used functions, certain setup functions of the QuadScan may only be accessed via  
the Front Panel or via RS-232/422. This prevents the accidental use of some controls (i. e. switching to an unsupported  
output resolution) and keeps the interface simple. The Remote Control interface is indicated in Figure 3. The Remote  
Control is a line of sight device; the IR receiver is mounted inside the QuadScan next to the LED displays. The Remote  
Control will only operated when it is within the line of sight of the LEDs of the QuadScan. The maximum range is about  
25 feet.  
Several controls are available from the IR unit, (Input Horizontal and Vertical Size and Position, Video Functions,  
selection of the Motion Processing Type, and selection of the Input Source)  
The Input Horizontal Size and Position may be activated by pressing the Size/Position/Zoom button. The first touch of  
this button enables the Input Horizontal and Vertical Size to be adjusted with the positional button of the Remote Mouse.  
A second touch of this button enables the Horizontal and Vertical Position to be adjusted with the positional button of the  
Remote Mouse. Subsequent touches of this button continues cycling through these 2 functions in the indicated order.  
The Video Functions of Contrast, Brightness, Saturation and Hue may be activated by touching the Video Function  
button. The first touch of this button enables the Brightness to be adjusted with the positional button of the Remote  
Mouse. The second touch of this button enables the Contrast to be adjusted with the positional button of the Remote  
Mouse. The third touch of this button enables the Saturation to be adjusted with the positional button of the Remote  
Mouse. The fourth touch of this button enables the Hue to be adjusted with the positional button of the Remote Mouse.  
Subsequent touches of this button continue cycling through these 4 functions in the indicated order.  
The selection of the Motion Processing Type may be activated by touching the Motion Processing button. The first touch  
of this button selects Automatic Motion Detection and Compensation. The second touch of this button selects Film  
Processing Mode. The third touch of this button selects Video Motion Processing Mode. The fourth touch of this button  
selects Still Video Mode. Subsequent touches of this button continue cycling through these 4 functions in the indicated  
order.  
The selection of the Input Source may be activated by touching the Signal Routing Button. The first touch of this button  
selects the automatic selection of input source according to the priority scheme of 3.3.10 (VGA, YUV A, YUV B, S-VHS  
A, S-VHS B, Composite A, Composite B). The second touch of this button selects VGA pass through (if present, or the  
next highest priority device if no VGA signal is present). Subsequent touches of this button cycle descend through the  
priority list, cycling through to the top.  
The Selection of the Input Aspect Ratio may be achieved with the Trigger button of the IR Remote. The first touch of this  
button selects 4:3 Aspect Ratio Input. The second touch of this button selects Letterbox 4:3 input. The third touch of this  
button selects 16:9 Aspect Ratio Input. Subsequent touches of this button continue cycling through these 3 functions in  
the indicated order.  
Operation of the IR remote control may be enabled or disabled by the use of Front Panel or RS-232/422 Control. If the IR  
appears to be ineffective, examine the IR ON/OFF selection using the Front Panel to ensure that the IR Remote is ON.

4.3 RS-232/422 Control  
All of the functions detailed in section 3.1 are available from RS-232/422 control. Every QuadScan is operable in both  
RS-232 and RS-422, but must be correctly set up for each standard. When configured for RS-422, up to 8 QuadScans  
may be connected in a single RS-422 wired system. The QuadScans will react to controls that are delivered to a unique  
address that is programmed into each QuadScan via the Front Panel control.  
When configured for RS-232, only a single QuadScan may be attached to the RS-232 link. The default configuration is  
RS-232.  
4.3.1 Configuring the QuadScan for RS-232 or RS-422  
Jumper JP3 on the QuadScan’s Control Interface board selects RS-232 or RS-422. Depending on the configuration of this  
jumper, the DB-9 communications connector located on the front panel of the QuadScan will accept either RS-232 or RS-  
422.  
Figure 4 indicates the positioning of Jumper JP3. In the case of RS-422, the user has the additional choice of selecting a  
120 Ohm termination.

4.3.2 Connecting the QuadScan to communications devices  
Slightly different connections schemes are required for RS-232 and RS-422 operation.  
Figure 5 indicates the recommended connections from a DB-9 connector for RS-232 operation. Depending on the way  
that the controlling port is programmed, other connections may work as well. The QuadScan has no way of handling the  
RTS/CTS and DSR/DCD signals.  
Figure 6 indicates the recommended connections from a DB-9 connector for RS-422 operation. In this case, a simple 9  
pin to 9 pin cable will work in all cases.

4.3.3 Selecting the QuadScan’s address  
In an RS-422, there may be as many as 8 QuadScans operating within a system. In order to provide a control mechanism  
to differentiate each QuadScan, the user must program each QuadScan’s address using the Front Panel.  
Programming the address is a simple procedure. Turn the QuadScan on, or cycle the control sequence such that the  
Power Up Identification is visible (i. e. “QUADSCAN”) on the LED display. Press the Right Arrow Button. You will see  
the QuadScan’s address indicated on the LED display. When you are finished, press either the + button or the - button.  
The QuadScan will remember its address until you change it in the same fashion.  
The address circuitry is active even when you are using the RS-232 link (which does not permit multiple QuadScans or  
other devices to be connected in a multiple unit configuration). The default address is 0.  
4.3.4 Sending Communications Commands to the QuadScan  
The serial port of the QuadScan accepts serial data at 9600 baud, 8data bits, no parity bit, 1 stop bit. It is essential that the  
serial communications device that delivers commands to the QuadScan be set up in this fashion.  
The QuadScan accepts 8 bit characters as commands. The commands to turn the QuadScan on and off are received as  
strings of ASCII alphabetic characters and binary numbers. For the purposes of this manual, all ASCII characters and  
binary numbers will be referred to with the decimal numbering sequence (i. e. the minimum value of a byte is 0, the  
maximum value of a byte is 255, the value of an upper case A is 65).  
The Command sequence for communicating with the QuadScan is as follows:  
1)  
The Activation Command is given. The Activation Command consists of the character string: QSRONx  
(where x is the address of the QuadScan). The Activation Command (and all other commands) must be followed by a  
Carriage Return (ASCII character value of 13 decimal) to be accepted.  
The following byte string (using decimal values for ASCII characters) indicates a valid Activation Command for a  
QuadScan previously programmed to be address 3:  
81  
Q
83  
S
82  
R
79  
O
78  
N
03  
3
13  
<CR>  
If the QuadScan receives any unexpected input before the reception of the Activation Command, it will ignore it. If it  
receives an unexpected byte during the transmission of the Activation Command, the Activation Command must be re-  
transmitted (the Activation sequence is reset).  
2)  
Individual Commands are given. Any number of commands may be given after the QuadScan is activated. The  
QuadScan individual commands consist of 2 byte strings. Each 2 byte string is an internal Register Number Byte  
followed by a Value Byte. The Value Byte has a different meaning and legal range for each register. Each command ( i.  
e. Register Number Byte, followed by Value Byte) must be concluded with a Carriage Return.  
The Value Byte provides “absolute information” if the parameter in question is a Toggle or Multiple Choice Item. If the  
parameter in question is a range item, the Value Byte provides “relative information” incrementing or decrementing the  
existing value of that parameter by on count.

In addition to the above commands, two additional commands are provided for control information. Writing Value Byte  
= 01 to register 18 will cause a Full Reset operation to occur. Writing Value Byte = 01 to register 20 will cause the  
existing parameter set to be written in to NOVRAM. The QuadScan will subsequently power up with these saved  
parameters until the NOVRAM is once again changed by writing a 01 to register 18.  
The following table indicates the Register Functions, the Register Number, Parameter Type and action of the legal values  
of the Value Byte.

Delay time between each transmitted character of a command must be 10 mS or greater. Each command will not be  
completed until the Carriage Return is received. If incorrect register numbers are given at the start of any command, the  
QuadScan will ignore that byte.  
Special caution should be used when using the Save Settings Command (Register 20). Excessive repeated use of this  
command (i. e. inside an endless loop) will damage the QuadScan's Non-Volatile memory.  
3)  
The De-Activation Command is given. When a QuadScan is used in an RS-422 system with several other,  
QuadScans it will be necessary to De-Activate the currently selected QuadScan to issue commands to another QuadScan  
in the system. If you are using a single QuadScan, it will not be necessary to De-Activate the QuadScan.  
The De-Activation Command consists of the character string: RQOFFx (where x is the address of the QuadScan). The  
De-Activation Command (and all other commands) must be followed by a Carriage Return (ASCII character value of 13  
decimal) to be accepted.  
The following byte string (using decimal values for ASCII characters) indicates a valid De-Activation Command for a  
QuadScan previously programmed to be address 3:  
82  
R
81  
Q
79  
O
70  
F

03

<CR>  
If the QuadScan receives any unexpected input before the reception of the De-Activation Command, it will ignore it. If it  
receives an unexpected byte during the transmission of the De-Activation Command, the De-Activation Command must  
be re-transmitted (the De-Activation sequence is reset).
