Installation
This section offers step-by-step instructions for installing the IN2200RS. An Application
Diagram is provided on page 6. Illustrations showing Front Panel Controls and Rear Panel
Connectors can be found on page 7.
1. Place / install the IN2200RS at the desired location. Make sure that the unit is seated on
a flat surface or is securely installed in a standard 19” equipment rack in a 1-U rack space
(using the optional IN9129 Rack Ears).
2. Set the dipswitches for the requirements of your installation (see the Dipswitch Settings
Chart on page 10).
3. Connect the IN2200RS video output (5 BNC connectors) to the data display device’s
RGB input using high-resolution BNC cables or a multi-conductor RGBHV, RGBS or RGsB
“snake.” The IN7000 Series, IN7200 Series, IN7300 Series and IN7400 Series highresolution cables are well suited for this purpose. While making connections, take care to
ensure that the red output is connected to the red input, green output is connected to the green
input, etc.
4. Connect the IN2200RS main audio outputs (3.5mm female jacks for left and right channel
signals) to the audio system’s input (mixer or amplifier). The main audio output signal is line
level and can be set for unbalanced (factory default) or balanced. The output is compatible
with any audio system that accepts a line level signal, and can be easily connected with an
IN9106 audio cable. For audio systems with RCA connectors, use the IN9017 audio adapter
cable.
Note: Cable wiring configurations for balanced / unbalanced output signals and internal
control adjustments can be found on pages 16 & 17.
5. Connect the computer graphics card to the IN2200RS 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 in the chart on the following
page.
6. Connect the computer sound card output (if applicable) to the IN2200RS 3.5mm female
stereo audio input connector using an IN8200-1 Series cable [15-pin HD with 3.5mm (M-M)
mini DIN], or an IN9106 audio patch cable (3.5mm stereo mini male to 3.5mm stereo mini
male). For computers with RCA connectors, use the IN9107 audio adapter cable [(1) 3.5mm
stereo mini male to (2) RCA male].
7. Connect the local computer monitor (if present) to the local monitor output port of the
IN2200RS. Monitors with 15-pin VGA connectors will attach directly to the interface. For
other types of monitors, use the appropriate monitor output adapter cable (see the list on the
following page). If no local monitor is used, set the monitor emulation dipswitch to emulate
a color VGA or 13/14” MAC RGB monitor (see the Dipswitch Settings chart on page 10).
IN2200RS Operation Manual - V1.1 01/03/2001 ©2001 - INLINE, Inc.

Check the monitor emulation chart and dipswitch settings carefully. An
inappropriate setting of the emulation dipswitches may lead to improper
operation and could even result in severe damage to the computer video
port or the monitor. If users are in doubt as to which monitor emulation to
choose, set all the Monitor Emulation dipswitches to “0” and connect the
local monitor.
8. Connect powered local speakers and / or recording devices to the local audio outputs (if
applicable).
9. Connect power to the IN2200RS using the IN9230 IEC power cable (included).

Operation
INPUT
The Input Button can be used to select Input 1 or Input 2. Each time the button is pressed, the
unit toggles back and forth between the two inputs, and the appropriate front panel LED indicator
illu-minates to show the current channel selection. Unique gain, sharpness, horizontal position
and vertical position settings are automatically stored for each input and recalled each time the
input is selected.
The non-selected channel is terminated into 75 Ohms. The interface automatically returns to the
last selected channel if power is removed and reapplied to the unit. Input channels may also be
selected remotely by using a third-party controller.
LCD DISPLAY
The LCD displays the horizontal and vertical scan rates and provides adjustment status feedback.
When an adjustment is being made, the LCD shows a description of the function and a bar graph
to indicate the current location within the adjustment range. The LCD remains in this state for
several seconds after the last change and then reverts to the horizontal and vertical scan rate
display.
GAIN
Gain (¾ and ¿) Buttons adjust the output voltage of the red, green, and blue outputs
simultaneously (ensuring that gray scale is maintained), and may be used to compensate for
signal loss due to long cable runs. The gain adjustment range is 0 in the minimum position (no
video information) and 1.3 in the maximum position (30% increase). The factory default setting
is 1.0 (unity gain). Operators can press and release the button for small changes or press and hold
for major changes. The Gain Control can also be used to fade the image to black.
SHARPNESS
Sharp (¾ and ¿) Buttons provide variable high-frequency equalization that can compensate for
signal loss due to long output cable runs. Careful optimiz ation of the sharpness control will result
in a greatly enhanced image with increased clarity and edge detail. The amount of high
frequency boost required for each display system will vary depending on the length and
bandwidth performance of the video output cables, and, to a lesser extent, the resolution and
frequency of the input signal. When using short output cables, the sharpness control should
usually be placed at the minimum setting to avoid over-peaking.
Operators can press and release the sharpness control button for subtle changes or press and hold
for major adjustments. The factory default setting is minimum (no sharpness / peaking
enhancement). The following guidelines are useful in selecting the optimal sharpness / peaking
setting:
If the image is soft and / or fine details in the picture lack clarity:
The sharpness is probably set too low. Increase the sharpness control setting.
If a white, ghosted image appears to the right side of the lines / characters:
The sharpness is probably set too high (over-peaked). Decrease the sharpness control
setting.

POSITION
The Position (¾,¿,½&¼) Arrows shift the video image in the designated direction. Operators can
press and release a button for small shifts or press and hold for large shifts. If the horizontal or
vertical positioning controls are disabled, the LCD display indicates the current status when the user
tries to adjust them.
SCREEN SHIFT
This function is enabled / disabled by pressing the GAIN (¾ / ¿) Button during power-up.
When enabled, the image is slowly shifted in a clockwise motion to help prevent CRT or Plasma
display “burn-in.” A complete list of power-up options is provided on page 11.
Shift Range: The amount that the image is shifted can be set to “High” or “Low” during
the power-up sequence. The High Range is set by pressing and holding the
POSITION (½) Button while turning on the power. The Low Range is set
similarly but holding the POSITION (¼) Button while turning on the power.
Shift Speed: When adjusting the size of the display it is important to allow for the shift
range. Therefore, there is a Fast Screen Shift Speed, which rapidly moves
through the entire shifting range (so users don't have to wait a long time for
the image to make a complete cycle), and a Slow Screen Shift Speed. The
Fast Screen Shift is set by holding the SHARP (¾) Button during power-up,
and the Slow Shift Speed is set by holding the SHARP (¿) Button.
FRONT PANEL DISABLE
The front panel is disabled / enabled with a dipswitch setting (#5 of Dipswitch Bank 2). When
the front panel is disabled, none of the front panel buttons operate. The LCD display will read
“Front Panel Disabled” whenever a front panel button is pressed. However, input selection can
still be made via the remote port or by setting the unit for Automatic Input Selection.
AUTOMATIC INPUT SELECTION
The IN2200RS can be set to automatically select the active input. An input is considered active if
it has a sync signal, or if pin 10 is grounded (usually done through the presence of an input cable,
regardless of whether or not a sync signal is present). If both inputs are active, Input 2 has priority.
If there is no active input signal (or pin 10 is not grounded) on Input 2, Input 1 is the default.
Note: When set to the Automatic Input Selection mode, the front panel and remote input selection
features are disabled. Dipswitch #6 on Bank 2 enables / disables the Automatic Input Select mode.
STATUS / MODE INFORMATION
Each time the unit is powered up, the LCD displays a sequence of screens to inform the user of how
the IN2200RS interface is configured. These screens show the following items: Automatic Input
Selection Enabled / Disabled, Front Panel Enabled / Disabled, Screen Shift Settings and the Output
Sync Format.
DIPSWITCH SETTINGS
Two dipswitch panels are easily accessed through windows on the bottom of the IN2200RS.
SWITCH 1 regulates the output sync format. SWITCH 2 determines the monitor emulation settings.
For most installations, the IN2200RS will be operated in the factory
default mode and will not require any changes to the dipswitch settings.

OPTIMAL SETTINGS FOR LCD / DMD / D-ILA / PLASMA DISPLAYS
Output Sync Format – The IN2200RS interface features advanced sync processing circuitry that
offers superb compatibility with a wide range of display devices. The IN2200RS has been
designed (and extensively tested) to provide excellent operation w hen set for RG BH V, R GB S and
RGsB output signal formats. However, some display devices most readily identify and display
VGA-type signals when they are in the RGBHV signal format. For this reason, users may
achieve optimal compatibility and more consistent results when the interface is set to the factory
default output sync format of RGBHV (see Dipswitch Settings on the previous page).
Horizontal Position Control - The IN2200RS horizontal position control utilizes a new circuit
design that provides excellent image quality and greatly enhanced compatibility with a variety of
data display technologies. However, in rare cases, instability in parts of the displayed image may
still occur (depending on the design of the display device’s sync circuitry). Adjusting the data
display’s fine phase or auto phase adjustment will usually alleviate the problem. If problems
persist, users may wish to disable the IN2200RS horizontal position control (see Dipswitch
Settings).
The following output sync settings provide maximum sync signal preservation and are
recommended for the best image quality with LCD, DMD, D-ILA and Plasma Display devices:
DIPSWITCH PANEL #1:
Dip Switches ON: 3 & 5
Signal Format: Red / Green / Blue / Horizontal and Vertical Sync
Horizontal Position Control: Disabled
H & V Sync Polarity: Mirror Input Polarities
Power-up Settings
Depressing certain front panel switches during power-up will change certain parameters. To
access power-up adjustments, depress a specific button while turning the unit's power switch to
ON. If power is already on, hold down the indicated button and switch the power off, and then
back on. These settings are retained until they are changed by serial commands, during
subsequent power-ups, or by resetting the unit to factory default.

Remote Control Operation
RS-232 CONTROL
The IN2200RS RS-232 serial control port accepts serial commands from a control system, computer serial port, or any other device capable of sending out serial ASCII commands at compatible
baud rates. A complete listing of RS-232 command codes is included on the pages 13 & 14.
Communication Protocol:
♦ 8 data bits
♦ 1 stop bit
♦ No parity check
♦ 9600 baud (factory default setting)
Baud Rate Selection:
The IN2200RS has a factory default baud rate of 9600 bps and can communicate at rates from
2400 up to 38,400. Baud rates can be selected using the ACxx Serial Commands listed on the
following page.
Note: The baud rate transmitted must
Command Code Structure and Delimiters:
All commands sent to the unit must contain a leading code, the command code, and an ending
code. Each command must be completely executed before the unit will accept a new command.
The IN2200RS can be set to recognize five sets of leading and end codes (delimiters) when using
an RS-232 remote: parentheses ( ), brackets [ ], braces{ }, slashes \ /, and less and greater than
< >.
The factory default serial delimiters are [ ].
Note: Only the IN2200RS that has the same delimiters as the remote controller will respond.
A complete command consists of:
[ The leading code
CH2 The command code.
] The ending code
Example: [CH2] sets the IN2200RS to select channel 2.
match the baud rate selected on the IN2200RS.

Serial Control Cable Wiring:
When controlling only one IN2200RS unit, connect the RS-232 cable as follows:
Controller Transmit to IN2200RS Receive
Controller Ground to IN2200RS Ground
Controller Receive to IN2200RS Transmit
When controlling multiple IN2200RS units, connect the RS-232 cable as follows:
Controller Transmit to Each IN2200RS Receive
Controller Ground to Each IN2200RS Ground
Controller Receive to Only one IN2200RS Transmit
When controlling multiple units, the Controller Receiver Terminal must
connect to only one IN2200RS Transmit Terminal. Multiple IN2200RS
Transit Lines may not be connected together, otherwise signal contention
from multiple units will result. Therefore, “receive” information is only
available from one IN2200RS in this configuration. Each unit must be set
to different delimiters.

Stereo Audio Switching
IN2200RS has stereo audio-follow-video switching capability. When Input 1 or Input 2 is
selected manually or automatically, the IN2200RS switches the stereo audio signals in
conjunction with their corresponding video signals.
INPUT AND LOCAL MONITOR OUTPUT
Located next to the 15-pin HD female video input connectors are 3.5mm stereo female audio
input ports (one for each video input). The audio inputs are compatible with unbalanced line
level audio signals from a computer sound card, CD player, VCR, laser disc player or other
device that outputs a stereo line level audio signal.
Located next to the 15-pin HD female local video output connectors are 3.5mm stereo female
audio output ports. Inputs 1 & 2 each have a local audio output that provides an unbalanced line
level signal, identical to the input signal. This is a passive output (not buffered) designed to drive
a local device such as powered speakers or other line level compatible audio equipment. Both
local outputs are always active, even when an input is not currently selected.
The following cables are available to connect audio equipment to the stereo audio inputs and
local outputs. For more information, see the Cable Pin Outs Diagram below.

output has a different pin configuration (see diagram on the following page).
MAIN AUDIO OUTPUT
Located just to the right of the main BNC outputs, the main audio output provides a buffered
audio signal from Input 1 or Input 2, depending on which input is currently selected. The main
audio output signal is line level and can be set for unbalanced (factory default) or balanced. See
the IN2200RS Internal Controls Section on the following page for information on setting the
unit for unbalanced or balanced output.
The IN2200RS main audio outputs require one 3.5mm Mini DIN connector for left audio, and a
separate connector for right audio. This is done to accommodate unbalanced or balanced audio
signals.

Ground
When the IN2200RS is set for an unbalanced audio output signal and the application requires
RCA adapter cables), two (2) IN9107 (3.5mm Stereo Mini male to RCA Stereo male) cables can
be used as output adapters for the left and right output jacks. In this configuration, the output
signal is found on the red RCA connector on each IN9107.
When the IN2200RS is set for balanced audio output, custom adapter cables should be
constructed, conforming to the pin configuration shown in the diagrams below.

Troubleshooting
Problem: There is no image on the monitor / display device.
Solution 1: Make sure that the IN9230 IEC power cable is securely plug g ed into the unit
and the A/C source.
Solution 2: Make sure the A/C source is live.
Solution 3: Verify that the power switch is turned on for the video source, the
IN2200RS and the monitor.
Solution 4: Verify the connection to the output display device.
Problem: The display device connected to the IN2200RS output has a bad / scrambled image.
Solution 1: The display device connected to the output of the interface may not be
compatible with the computer output. PC, MAC, SUN and other high-resolution workstations have new and ultra high-resolution modes such as 1600 x 1200 and 1800 x 1440,
and can output a video signal with a horizontal scan rate of over 100 KHz! Many data
monitors and data projectors are not compatible with these resolutions and frequencies.
Solution 2: Check the dipswitch settings to make sure the unit is outputting a sync
format that the display device can use. For most applications the default dipswitch
settings will work best (see page 10).
Solution 3: The output cable may have a bad sync line. Try running the sync through
another cable.
Problem: The local monitor looks fine but the image on the Data Projector / Data Display
Solution 1: LCD / DMD displays work best when the sync signal has minimum sync
Solution 2: LCD / DMD displays often have an adjustment called Phase Adjust or Fine

Problem: The output image is missing a color.
Solution: The RGB output cable may be bad. Try switching connections on the output
to verify that the bad color’s cable is OK (Example: If there is no red, try running the
Problem: The image on the display device is not centered.
Problem: The position control’s horizontal adjustment is not working.
Problem: The front panel controls are not responding.
Problem: The image on the display device is fuzzy.
Problem: The output image is very bright and appears “overdriven” with poor contrast.
Problem: There unit is not responding to serial commands.
Problem: There is no audio output.
green output through the red cable and see if green is displayed or not).
Solution: Adjust the Position Control (see page 9).
Solution 1: Check the dipswitch settings to see if the horizontal position control has
been disabled.
Solution 2: The input setting may be RGsB (sync on green). The horizontal position
control does not work with RGsB input signals.
Solution: The front panel operation dipswitch may be disabled.
Solution: Adjust the Sharpness / Gain Control until the image regains its detail.
Solution 1: The gain may be set to high. Reduce the gain as required.
Solution 2: Check the contrast and brightness settings on the display device. Many CRT
display devices look best with the contrast set toward the upper end of the adjustment range
(75 - 95%) and the brightness set towards the middle of the adjustment range (40 - 60%).
Solution 1: Make sure that the baud rates of the controller and the unit match (factory
default is [ACI6] or 9600).
Solution 2: Make sure the controller is configured as eight data bits, one stop bit and no
parity.
Solution 3: Make sure that the correct command codes are being used (factory default is
[CMDCD0] or ‘[ ]’).
Solution 4: Make sure that the connector cable is properly inserted into both / all units.
Solution 1: Verify that power is present and that the power switch is turned on for the
audio source, the IN2200RS and the amplifier / speakers.
Solution 2: Verify that the audio source is connected to the correct input.
Solution 3: The audio output of the IN2200RS is line level audio only. It should be
connected to a mixer / amplifier or to amplified “computer type” speakers.
Solution 4: Verify that the 3.5mm Mini DIN connectors are wired correctly (see the
Stereo Audio Switching Section on pages 16 & 17).
Solution 5: Verify that the internal jumpers are set properly (see the IN2200RS Internal
Controls Section on pages 17 & 18).
