Product Overview

DESCRIPTION

The IN2200RS is a high-performance video interface for analog video signals including VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, UXGA, MAC, SUN, SGI and other high-resolution workstations. The IN2200RS includes an impressive range of features and signal adjustments, yet retains a clean, uncluttered appearance and amazingly simple operation.

The IN2200RS is not other output device must be compatible with the horizontal scan rate, vertical scan rate and resolution output by the computer video card.

• Two Video Inputs with Local Monitor Outputs - offer flexibility in a variety of

applications.

• 32 Memories - When an input is selected, previously stored position, gain and sharpness

settings for that input are automatically recalled.

• Three Switching Modes - In Manual Mode, users select the desired input by pressing a

large front panel input button. In Auto Switch Mode, the unit automatically selects the active input. If more than one input is active, the highest numbered input has priority. Remote Switching is done via RS-232 control.

• RS-232 Serial Control - is provided for all interface functions and facilitates complete

system integration and effortless control when combined with a third party control system.

• Stereo Audio-Follow-Video Switching - When Input 1 or 2 is selected, the video signal

and the associated stereo audio signal are simultaneously switched to the output.

• Large Backlit LCD Display - simultaneously shows the horizontal and vertical

frequencies of the current input signal.

• 15-Pin HD VGA Standard Connectors - The IN2200RS connects directly to VGA

graphics cards and VGA local monitors.

• High-Resolution Amplification - The IN2200RS provides superb performance with

analog video signals at virtually any resolution and refresh rate.

• Output Sync Optimization - Dipswitches set the interface output sync signals for

optimal operation with LCD, DMD, D-ILA and Plasma Data Grade Display devices.

• Flexible Output Sync with Automatic Output Sync Selection - The unit can be set for

an RGBHV, RGBS or RGsB output signal to match the requirements of the data display device and signal distribution system.

a scan converter. The data projector, monitor or

• Screen Shift - slowly moves the image on the CRT or Plasma Display device to reduce

video “burn-in” (when displaying static images).

• Gain Control - can be adjusted to boost the signal voltage and provides a smooth fade to

black.

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

increasing clarity and image detail, and compensates for signal loss during long cable runs.

• Horizontal and Vertical Position Controls - provide precise positioning of the image

within the data display area.

• Easy Operation - The IN2200RS offers an exceptional variety of controls and signal

adjustments, yet remains very easy for non-technical personnel to operate.

• 300 MHz Video Bandwidth

• Rack Mountable

Compatibility

INPUT

The IN2200RS 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, SXGA, UXGA, MAC, SUN, SGI and other high-resolution computers outputting an analog video signal. 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

OUTPUT

The output signal of the IN2200RS 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 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

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).

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).

10. Complete the installation by turning on all computers, local monitors, powered speakers, data display devices, the IN2200RS and the audio system.

ADAPTER / EXTENSION CABLES FOR INPUT AND LOCAL MONITOR OUTPUT
