DESCRIPTION

The IN2118 is a high performance computer video interface for analog video signals including VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, UXGA, Macintosh workstations. The IN2118 flush mounts neatly in a conference room / boardroom table or other presentation furniture. The IN2118 is a two-sided unit that provides easy access to a highresolution computer video interface, a modular A/V connector faceplate and / or one or two A/C convenience outlets on either side of the table.

 Disappearing Flush Mount Design - When the unit is in the lowered position, it sits

completely flush with the table surface.

 Motorized Unit - can be raised and lowered by pressing down on the top surface, or via

contact closure control.

 Safety Features - stop the interface from descending if it senses an obstruction such as

attached cables or wayward fingers.

 Installation Flexibility - The IN2118 includes several adjustments to help installers

position the unit precisely in a conference table / presentation furniture.

 Front Panel A/C Convenience Outlets - are provided to power a laptop computer or

other A/V equipment that will be located on the table.

 Modular A/V Connector Plate - The IN2118 simplifies the design and installation pro-

cess since a single unit fills the function of both video interface and A/V connector plate.

Flush mounted in the table and rising into place when needed, the IN2118 provides easy access for making computer and A/V connections, reducing equipment clutter, and complements the

décor of high tech control rooms, civic / legislative chambers and courtroom installations.

Note: A/V Connector Modules are not included and must be ordered separately (see page 17).

The IN2118 Interface 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 IN2118 Interface 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 computer video signals include VGA, SVGA, XGA, MAC, 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

Vertical Refresh Rates: 30 Hz to 120 Hz

* The IN2118 Interface 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 IN2118 Interface 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.

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 1000 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

MOUNTING THE INTERFACE

WARNING: The IN2118 should only be mounted by licensed and bonded installers. Care must be taken to avoid scarring or damaging presentation / conference room furniture.

Before installing the IN2118, refer to the Dimensions Diagrams on pages 22 - 24 and make sure the table / installation furniture will accommodate all

the dimensions of the unit.

In the following example, the IN2118 is installed in a conference room table with a laminated surface. Depending on the installation, your emplacement may require specialized tools, additional materials, safety equipment, etc.

Hint: To simplify your installation, make the lid fit the hole

NECESSARY TOOLS & SUPPLIES:

Power Tools: Hand Tools: Miscellaneous:

Drill Router Saw (Circular or Saber)

IN9185 Template

Carpenter’s Level (2) C-Clamps Wood File Phillips Screwdriver

1. Locate the desired mounting location on the tabletop / installation furniture surface and mark the center with a pencil.

2. Attach the extension arms to the optional IN9185 Table Routing Template and position it around the center mark. Make sure that the 12 flat head screws are countersunk below the surface of the extension arms. Failure to do so may scar the furniture.

3. Once the Template has been situated properly, use a pair of C-Clamps to secure the extension arms to the edges of the table. Use a pencil to outline the 9 ½” x 8 ½” inside edge of the template (see the Installation Diagram on the following page).

Hint: Marking the inside edge of the IN9185 will alert the installer of any accidental template movement that may occur while routing the hole.

4. Using a router, carefully cut the opening in the table surface (very thick table surfaces may require additional routing). Use a file to square the round edges. Remove the template when finished.

When using the IN9185, installers must

(collar) that provides ¼” clearance from the inside edge of the template.

, not vice versa.

Adhesive Double sided tape Wood Screws and

Washers 1/32” Feeler Gauge (Optional)

use a router bit template guide

5. Most installations will require fabrication of a new cover surface (lid). Using the IN9185

template, make another outline on a matching piece of material. Cut out the new lid using a power / saber saw.

Note: Bear in main that the new surface must accommodate a 1/32” gap on all four sides between the lid and the table opening.

6. Finish the top and sides of the lid, and the sides of the opening in the table. Again, there

should be a 1/32” seam around all four edges of the lid when it sits flush with the table surface.

Note: If matching lamina is unavailable, installers may have to completely resurface the table / presentation furniture, or consider other installation options.

Installers may wish to use 1/32” feeler gauges to achieve precise equidistant spacing on all four sides of the lid. Hint: A standard size paper clip (one and one quarter inches long) is almost 1/32” in diameter.

7. The IN2118 is secured to a plate base to prevent damage during shipment. Disconnect

the four screws and remove the plate.

Note: The IN2118 is delivered with the top plate in the lowered position. Do not

raise the

plate until the installation is complete.

8. Loosen the four (4) upper wing nuts and disconnect the mounting flange from the main

housing (see the Adjustments Diagram on page 8).

9. Working from the underside of the table, position the mounting flange so that the gap

between the inside edges of the flange and the table’s opening are roughly equidistant (a precise adjustment will be done later). The flange contains eight (8) mounting holes: four oversized primary holes on the corners and four smaller secondary holes on the sides. The primary holes are used to position the unit, while the secondary holes are used to permanently attach the IN2118 to the table / installation furniture. Mark the four (4)

primary

Note: Do not

holes only.

drill the secondary holes or permanently attach the flange until the unit has

been positioned properly!

10. Set the flange aside and carefully drill the primary holes. Care must be taken not to penetrate the surface of the table. Drill the holes in the center of the oversized openings to provide maximum centering flexibility.

11. Attach the flange to the underside of the table. Do not fully tighten the screws.

12. Attach the main housing to the mounting flange by securing the four (4) upper wing nuts. Make sure that the top of the housing sits flush with all four sides of the flange before tightening the nuts.

For applications in which a new table / presentation furniture will be fabricated and / or the IN2118 will be installed at a remote location, the main housing should not be attached to the mounting flange during shipment.

ADJUSTING THE IN2118

This section offers step-by-step instructions for precisely situating the IN2118 in the table / presentation furniture. An Adjustment Diagram is provided on the following page.

Do not permanently attach the cover surface (lid) to the top plate until the IN2118 has been fully installed in the table / presentation furniture.

1. Center the IN2118 until a roughly equidistant gap is achieved between all four sides of the

top plate and the table’s opening (once again, a precise adjustment will be done later). Once the unit has been properly positioned in the table, tighten the four (4) primary screws.

2. Loosen the upper wing nuts and disconnect the main housing. Carefully drill the (4) secondary holes and secure the mounting flange to the table. Once again, care must be taken not to penetrate the surface of the table.

3. Reattach the main housing to the mounting flange. Using the IN9230 IEC Power Cable (included), apply power to the IN2118, turn it on, and press down on the top plate surface to raise the unit.

4. With the IN2118 in the raised position, place a Carpenter’s Level across the top of the plate and level the unit by adjusting the upper wing nuts. When the unit has been centered, turn the Level 45º and adjust again. This step may have to be repeated several times until a true level surface is achieved.

Note: Leveling the unit while in the raised position will ensure that the top plate and the table surface remain parallel (when the IN2118 is in the raised position), and sits flush when the unit is fully descended.

5. Before adjusting the height of the interface, use two-sided tape to temporarily attach the cover surface material (lid) to the top plate.

6. To adjust the height of the IN2118, press down on the lid and lower the unit. Loosen the four (4) lower wing nuts. Position the lid so that it sits completely flush with the table surface and tighten the wing nuts. Raise and lower the interface to ensure that the unit achieves sufficient clearance when raised, and sits flush when lowered. The IN2118 should ascend and descend smoothly.

The lower wing nuts allow installers to adjust for varying tabletop thickness (up to two inches) and provide a precise flush-mount installation

7. Using a strong adhesive, permanently attach the lid to the top plate.
