Product Overview

DESCRIPTION

The CIA112 is a high-performance computer interface for analog video and stereo audio signals. The unit is compatible with a variety of analog video signals including VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, UXGA, MAC, SUN and other high-resolution workstations. The CIA112 combines a two-input highresolution computer video interface and modular A/V connector plates into a versatile unit that fits neatly in a three gang junction box, and installs quickly in walls, podiums, conference tables or other audiovisual / presentation furniture. Like other INLINE interfaces, the CIA112 performs the following functions:

• Signal Splitting - allows the simultaneous connection and viewing of both the computer’s

local monitor and a second output device such as an LCD data projector or a presentation

PRODUCT FEATURES

monitor.

• Physical Interfacing - Because computers employ many different types of video output

connectors it is sometimes difficult to directly connect them to data projection devices. The CIA112 simplifies interfacing tasks by acting as a universal adapter. Through the use of removable input cables, the CIA112 can be attached to different computers and will provide a video output signal on five BNC connectors. The output signal may be set to RGBHV (default), RGBS or RGsB formats.

The CIA112 is not a scan converter. The data projector, monitor or other output device must be compatible with the horizontal scan rate, vertical scan rate and resolution output by the computer video card.

• 15-Pin HD VGA Standard Connectors - The CIA112 connects directly to PC, MAC and

SGI graphics ports and local monitors using high-resolution coaxial VGA extension / adapter cables.

• Two Inputs with Three Switching Modes - Manual Mode allows users to select the desired

input by pressing the front panel input select button. Remote Switching allows users to select inputs via any device that is capable of latching contact closure. Autoswitch Mode automatically selects the active input.

• Stereo Audio Switching - The CIA112 features dual stereo input connectors that accept

unbalanced stereo audio from computer sound cards, and can output either a balanced or unbalanced signal.

• Ultra High-Resolution Amplification - The CIA112 provides superb performance with

analog video signals at any resolution.

• Selectable Output Sync Format - The unit can be set for RGBHV (default), RGBS or RGsB

output sync as required by the data display device and signal distribution system.

• Buffered Local Monitor Output - ensures the highest quality display on a local monitor.

• New Soft-Touch Rocker Button for Horizontal Position Control - allows precise centering

of the image within the data display area.

• One-Button Monitor Emulation - makes it easy to use the interface without a local monitor.

• 400 MHz Bandwidth

• Sharpness Control - provides effective image enhancement for high-resolution video signals

by increasing clarity and image detail, and may be used to compensate for signal loss due to long cable runs.

• Modular A/V Connector Plates - The front panel accepts up to four A/V connector modules,

available with a variety of popular connectors.

• Hum Suppression Capability - removes visible effects caused by video ground loops that

exist between the signal source and the interface.

• Available in Two Finishes:

CIA112-1 - Black Finish. CIA112-2 - White Finish (PMS Cool Grey 3).

The CIA112 simplifies the design and installation process since a single unit fills the function of both video interface and A/V connector plate. Available A/V Connector Modules are listed on pages 13 - 14.

Compatibility

INPUT

The CIA112 will accept high-resolution video signals from virtually any computer that outputs an analog video signal. The unit will work with signals at virtually any resolution and refresh rate. Compatible comput er vi deo si gnal s i ncl ude VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, UXGA, M AC, SUN, SGI and other high-resolution computers outputting an analog video signal. Input signal compatibility parameters are listed below.

Video Signal: Analog RGB Video Signal format: RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB* Horizontal Frequency Range: 30 KHz to 130 KHz

OUTPUT

The output signal of the CIA112 is analog RGB video with TTL sync on 3, 4 or 5 female BNC

connectors (on 6” pigtails). The output format can be set to RGBHV, RGBS or RGsB using dipswitches. This output signal is compatible with high-resolution data grade monitors and data / graphics projectors.

Vertical Refresh Rates: 30 Hz to 120 Hz

* The CIA112 will operate with RGsB input signals. However, the unit will not strip sync off of the green. RGsB input signals are always output as RGsB (they cannot be output as RGBS or RGBHV). Also, the horizontal position control will not operate when used with RGsB input signals.

VGA, MAC, SUN, SGI and other high-resolution workstations operate in several video modes encompassing a wide range of resolutions and scan rates. Many of the video signals from the newest models can run as high as 70 KHz or more, with the newest VGA cards offering an output resolution of 1600 x 1200 (some can even go as high as 1920 x 1080). The data projector or monitor connected to the interface output must be compatible with the

horizontal scan rate and vertical refresh rate of the computer’s video signal.

Please check the documentation for both the computer graphics card and the data display device to ensure compatibility.

Installation

CAUTION: Installation of the CIA112 must only be carried out by qualified technicians.

This section offers step-by-step instructions for installing the CIA112. An Application Diagram is provided on page 6, and Front and Rear Panel Connector and Control Diagrams are on page 7.

Note: Read the instructions carefully before initiating the installation procedure. Before you begin, make sure that there is no power connected to the system, and that all the power buttons are off.

1. Install the IN9161 / IN9162 3-Gang Junction Box (or the IN9183 Wall Mounting Bracket)

in accordance with standards set forth in the National Electrical Code. Secure the junction box with nails (2 places minimum) if mounting to a wooden stud, or self-tapping screws when attaching to a metal stud. The CIA112 can also be installed in an existing 3- g ang junction box (a Dimensions Diagram is provided on page 15). Run the video coax, accessory and stereo audio cables (if applicable) to the interface.

2. Set the Dipswitches as appropriate for your installation (see page 9 for more details). The CIA112 factory default output format is RGBHV. If your display device, routing system, or cabling require a different format, use the dipswitches to change the output signal to RGBS or RGsB as necessary. For best results with high-resolution data projectors / presentation monitors, refer to the Optimal Settings for LCD / DMD / D-ILA / Plasma Displays Section on page 9.

3. Terminate any Audio, Video and Control Cables to the backside of the A/V connector

modules as required by your installation (a complete list of available modules is provided on pages 13 and 14). For applications that do not require any A/V connector modules, use the IN9369QB / IN9369QW Quad Size Blank Plate (included).

4. Using the IN9334 3/32” Allen Wrench (included), attach the modular connector plate(s) to the front panel of the CIA112, making sure that none of the cables are pinched or damaged.

5. Connect the CIA112 Video Output (5 BNC connectors) to the data display device’s RGB input, using three, four, or five high-resolution BNC cables or a multi-conductor RGBHV, RGBS, or RGB "snake". The IN7000 Series, IN7200 Series, IN7300 Series and IN7400P

Series high-resolution cables are well suited for this purpose. All CIA111, CIA112 and CIA114 Series Interfaces feature five (5) BNC pigtail connectors. The wires are color coded

as follows:

Wire: Signal:

Red Red Green Green Blue Blue Yellow Horizontal Sync / Composite Sync Black Vertical Sync

Take care while making connections to ensure that the red output is connected to the red input, green output to the green input, etc.

6. Connect the Audio Cable to the appropriate pins on the CIA112 5-pin Phoenix connector. Make sure that the stereo audio output is connected appropriately for unbalanced or balanced as required by the installation (see diagram below).

Unbalanced Output - connect to the Left, Right and Ground connectors.

Balanced Output - connect to Left +, Left-, Right+, Right- and Ground connectors.

7. If the Application Requires Remote Switching Capability, connect the remote control cables to the 3-pin Phoenix connector on the back of the CIA112. The connector works with any device that provides latching contact closure such as a third party control system or the IN9360 Contact Closure Switch module (optional). Each time the remote connector circuit is opened or closed, the CIA112 will select the opposite input. This could be either Input 1 or Input 2, depending on the current position of the front panel switch. The CIA112 remote connector has a status pin that can provide feedback to a control system or remote button to indicate which input is currently selected. When the status pin is low, this indicates that Input 1 is currently selected. If the status pin is high, Input 2 is selected.

Note: Remote switching is only functional when autoswitch is disabled (see the Dipswitch Settings Section on page 9).

8. Apply Power to the CIA112 using the IN9213 / IN9222 9 VDC; 1.5A power supply (included). The CIA112 power connector (2-pin captive screw terminal) has a sticker showing the correct polarity. Be extra careful to connect the power supply positive wire

(with the red heat shrink) to the interface power connector’s (+) terminal, and the power supply negative wire to the interface power connector’s (-) terminal. Connecting the power with the reverse polarity may permanently damage the unit! If in doubt, measure the power cable with a voltmeter to verify the positive and negative terminals.

Note: Unlike other CIA Installation Series Interfaces, the CIA112 does not feature auto power ON/OFF capability. Once power has been applied, the unit stays ON at all times.

When extending AC cable for distances of 50’ or more, use an 18-gauge to 22-gauge power cable (thinner cables may cause problems). The INLINE IN8500-2P power cable is well suited for this application.

9. Turn the Computer and Computer Monitor Off. Disconnect the monitor (if present) from

the video output port on the computer.

10. Connect the Computer Graphics Card to the CIA112 15-pin video input port.

• PC / MAC / SGI Computers with 15-pin HD Video Ports - can be connected via

IN8000M-1 / IN8200M-1 Series high-resolution coaxial VGA cables.

• Older Macintosh (15-pin D) / SUN (13W3) / Workstations (4 or 5 BNC) - can be

connected using the appropriate input / output cables listed below.
