Product Overview

DESCRIPTION

The IN2013HR is a high performance dedicated computer video interface for Sun, SGI, IBM
PowerPC, NeXT, and other graphic workstations with 13W3 video ports. Like other INLINE
interfaces, the IN2013HR 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 a large screen data projector
or presentation monitor.

• Physical Interfacing and Adaptation - Because computers employ many different

types of video output connectors, it is sometimes difficult to directly connect them to
data projection devices. The IN2013HR connects to workstations with special video
connectors (13W3) and provides an output signal on standard BNC connectors.

• Electronic Interfacing - The interface accepts video in a wide variety of sync formats

and converts the signal to RGsB, RGBS, RGBHV or Composite Monochrome as
required by the display device, cabling, and video routing system.

PRODUCT FEATURES

Universal Compatibility for Graphic Workstations with 13W3 Video Ports - Factory set for
automatic operation with Sun and SGI computers, the unit will accept other workstation signals
by adjusting one or two dipswitches.

Exceptional Video Performance - Featuring advanced video amplification circuitry, the
IN2013HR offers a video bandwidth of 230 MHz, ensuring that even the highest resolution

workstation video signals will be interfaced with complete signal clarity.

Local Monitor Output - provides a buffered signal for the local computer monitor.

Automatic Output Sync Format Selection - The IN2013HR senses the number of cables

connected to the outputs at power up and automatically sets the output sync format to RGsB,
RGBS, RGBHV or Composite Monochrome.

Dual Outputs - the IN2013HR can drive two display devices in addition to the local monitor.

Flexible Monitor Emulation - The interface automatically sets itself to the appropriate

resolution / refresh rate, or can be used without a local display device (dipswitches are provided
to emulate virtually any monitor).

Convenient Controls - The IN2013HR offers intuitive front panel controls for the most
important signal adjustments.

• Gain Control - adjusts the voltage level of the RGB components simultaneously

(ensuring that gray scale is maintained), and may be used to compensate for signal loss
due to long cable runs.

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

signals by increasing clarity and edge detail.

• Horizontal Position Control - allows the picture to be centered precisely on the data

display screen.

The IN2013HR 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.

Compatibility

INPUT

The IN2013HR will accept high-resolution video signals from Sun SPARC, Silicon Graphics,
IBM PowerPC, NeXT and virtually any other graphic workstation that outputs analog video
through a 13W3 female connector. Input signal compatibility parameters are:

Video Signal: Analog RGB Video
Connector: 13W3 female video port on computer
Signal format: RGsB, RGBS, RGBHV
Horizontal Frequency Range: 30 KHz to 130 KHz
Vertical Refresh Rates: 50 Hz to 120 Hz

OUTPUT

The IN2013HR outputs an analog RGsB, RGBS, RGBHV or Composite Monochrome signal on
female BNC connectors. This output signal is compatible with high-resolution data grade
monitors and data / graphics projectors. Graphic workstations operate in several video modes
encompassing a wide range of resolutions and scan rates. Many workstation video signals run as
high as 70 KHz or more, with the newest workstations offering output resolutions 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. Check the
documentation for both the computer graphics card and the data display device to ensure
compatibility.

Installation

This section offers step-by-step instructions for installing the IN2013HR Computer Video
Interface. An Application Diagram is included on page 5.

1. Turn the Computer and Computer Monitor Off - Disconnect the computer monitor from

the computer’s video port.

2. Connect the Permanently Attached IN2013HR Input Cable - to the computer’s video output

port (see illustration on the right). For cable
runs that are longer than 3’, the IN8400
Series 13W3 Workstation Extension Cables
are available in lengths ranging from 6’ to
50’.

3. Check the Input Signal Configuration Settings - (SWITCH 1 - Dipswitches 8 / 9 / 10)
which are on the bottom of the IN2013HR. The factory default settings for dipswitches 8, 9
and 10 will work with Sun workstations and most SGI computers. For other computers,
carefully set dipswitches 8, 9 and 10 as indicated in the chart below:

Note: These settings only relate to the input signal from the computer and have no effect on the
output sync format.

RGsB 001 - Sync on green
RGBHV 010 - Hor. sync on pin 5; Vert. sync on pin 9

4. Connect the IN2013HR 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. Take care while
making connections to insure that the red output is connected to the red input, green output to
the green input, etc.

5. Select the Output Sync Format - The interface normally selects an output format
automatically according to the number of cables connected to the output. If you wish to
override the automatic output format feature and manually select a specific format, set the
dipswitches as necessary according to the chart on page 8 (see Output Sync Format -
Manual Mode).
