Product Overview

DESCRIPTION

The IN2112R is a high-performance computer video interface for analog video signals including VGA, SVGA, XGA, MAC, Sun and other high-resolution workstations. The IN2112R combines high-resolution computer interfacing with two inputs, modular A/V connector plates and front panel A/C power outputs into a 2U rack mountable unit. This highly integrated approach gives audiovisual professionals the ability to quickly design and install functional, customized computer interfacing and A/V connectivity solutions for a broad spectrum of applications.

Like other INLINE interfaces, the IN2112R 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 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 IN2112R simplifies interfacing, routing and switching tasks by acting as a universal adapter. Through the use of removable input cables, the IN2112R 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 IN2112R is not must be compatible with the horizontal scan rate output by the computer video card.

a scan converter. The data projector, monitor or other output device

PRODUCT FEATURES

Rack Mountable Unit - Featuring integral rack mounting ears, the IN2112R is specifically designed to

mount in a standard 19’ equipment rack in a 2U space; no additional rack shelves or rack ears are required. The interface has a sleek black finish that blends well with other rack mounted equipment, complementing the decor of boardrooms, training facilities, control rooms and other high-tech / high profile installations featuring exposed equipment racks.

Two Input Switcher - Users may select Input 1 or Input 2 using a front panel switch. Front panel LEDs

illuminate to indicate the current input. In Autoswitch mode, the interface senses which input has an active signal and switches automatically. If both inputs are active, Input 2 has priority. Input 1 or 2 may be selected remotely via contact closure.

Modular Faceplate - Capable of holding up to eight A/V connector plates, the IN2112R can

accommodate the exact connectors required for each installation. Dozens of engraved connector plates are available for audio, video, computer, data and phone connections. INLINE can provide custom engraving services to label the connector plates as required for various applications (additional charge for custom engraving). Available A/V modules are listed on pages 12-13.

Front Panel A/C Power Outlets - The IN2112R has front panel power outlets (600 watts total) that

provide a convenient place to plug in a laptop computer, CD player or other portable A/V device that will be located in front of the equipment rack. Three models are available for each interface to support various A/C socket types worldwide:

IN2112R IN2112R - IEC IN2112R - EU

(2) Edison outlets (2) IEC female outlets (1) Schuko outlet

15-Pin HD VGA Standard Connectors - The IN2112R connects directly to VGA graphics cards and

VGA local monitors using high-resolution coaxial VGA extension cables such as the IN8000 series. Input / output adapter cable sets (see table on page 5) are also available in a variety of lengths for MAC (15-Pin D), SUN (13W3) and workstations (4 or 5 BNC).

Three Switching Modes - In Manual Mode, users select the desired input by pressing the front panel

input select button or remotely via serial or contact closure control. Remote Switching allows users to select inputs via any device that is capable of latching contact closure. With the Autoswitch Mode, the unit automatically selects the active input. If more than one input is active, input 2 has priority.

Wired Remote Control - The optional IN9465 Rocker Switch provides remote switching capability.

This switch duplicates the front panel input select button.

Ultra High-Resolution Amplification - The IN2112R provides superb performance and maximum

image clarity at any resolution. Several design elements combine to provide this level of performance: video bandwidth in excess of 400 MHz, buffered local monitor output, and input / local monitor output cables constructed of high-resolution coaxial materials.

Stereo Audio Switching - The IN2112R accepts unbalanced stereo audio from computer sound cards to

support multimedia applications. The stereo audio signal for each input is switched simultaneously with the video signal. The main audio output on the back of the interface (5-pin captive screw terminal) can be set to output an unbalanced or balanced audio signal. The two audio output connectors on the front panel provide a passive loop-through signal from each input and are ideal for local power speakers or a local recording device. These audio outputs are always live, even when the input is not currently selected.

CRT / LCD / DMD / ILA / HDLV / Plasma Friendly Output Signal - The output sync

characteristics can be set as needed to match the requirements of virtually any scan rate compatible data display. Internal dipswitches are provided for setting output sync format, sync polarity always negative / mirror input polarities, serration pulse enable / disable, and horizontal control enable / disable.

Selectable Output Sync Format - The unit can be set for RGBHV, RGBS or RGsB output sync as

required by the data display device and signal distribution system. The IN2112R does not strip sync off the green signal (i.e. RGsB input signals appear at the output as RGsB).

Convenient Controls and Features - A hand-adjustable horizontal position control on the IN2112R

faceplate allows for precise centering of the image within the data display area. The Auto Power feature automatically powers up the interface when an input cable is connected to the 15-pin HD input, and powers

down the unit when the input cable is removed. Auto monitor emulation emulates a VGA / MAC monitor when no local monitor is present.

In addition the IN2112R features:

• Analog Interface - the unit will operate with Analog Video with TTL level sync signals. The signal

can be separate H & V or composite sync.

• Sync Polarity Preservation Switch - enables the sync polarity to be preserved, or to be set for negative

polarity (for RGBHV signals in and out).

• Serration Pulse Removal Switch - (for RGBS or RGsB output) enables the user to remove serration

pulses from the sync output.

Compatibility

INPUT

The IN2112R will accept high-resolution video signals from virtually any computer that outputs an analog video signal (VGA, SVGA, XGA, MAC, SUN, SGI and other high-resolution computers) at virtually any refresh rate. Input signal compatibility parameters are:

Video Signal: Analog RGB Video

Signal Format: RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB*

Horizontal Frequency Range: 30 KHz to 130 KHz

Vertical Refresh Rates: 30 Hz to 120 Hz

* The IN2112R 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.

OUTPUT

The output signal of the IN2112R is analog RGB video with TTL sync on 3, 4 or 5 female BNC connectors. 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.
