DESCRIPTION

The IN3526vi is a six input and one output switcher designed for composite or S-Video signals. The IN3526vi switcher routes one of several video source signals to an attached video recorder, monitor, projector or other video equipment. Users may select the desired input channel using front panel buttons or via remote control. The IN3526vi switcher offers easy operation and the following features:

♦ 100 MHz Bandwidth - allows the unit to be used with high resolution computer video signals as well as

NTSC/PAL/SECAM composite and S-Video signals

♦ Vertical Interval Switching ♦ Front Panel Channel Selection Controls and LED Indicators ♦ Auto-sequencing of selected inputs in time intervals of 2.5 to 30 seconds ♦ Contact Closure and RS-232 control port for remote selection of input channels ♦ Cascading capability to create larger switching configurations ♦ I/O port to power and control an IN3546R 6 in, 1 out Stereo Audio Switcher for audio follow video

applications.

COMPATIBILITY

The IN3526vi switcher will switch a wide variety of signals. While the unit was primarily designed for Composite Video and S-Video (Y/C) signals, it can also switch high resolution computer video signals. The IN3526vi shares the composite video and Luma (Y) channel, so it is not designed to handle both signal formats at the same time. However, if your display device can switch between composite and S-Video, you can have some inputs be composite and others be S-Video (although you will need to switch your display to view the proper signal.)

INSTALLATION

This section offers step-by-step instructions for installing an IN3526vi switcher.

1. Connect all sources to the IN3526vi input connectors. Unused inputs do not need to be terminated.

2. Connect the IN3526vi output to the display device.

3. Connect remote control system if required.

4. Apply AC power to the unit.

5. Configure the unit for special applications (see Power-On Settings for more information.)

OPERATION

FRONT PANEL OPERATION

Input Selection

The IN3526vi switcher provides seven front panel buttons that may be used to select the desired input channel or blank the output (no input selected.) Any time the unit is powered up, Input 1 is automatically selected. In order to select a different input, press the corresponding input button and the appropriate green LED will light to indicate the current active channel. Input channels may also be selected remotely by using an optional IN3590 wired remote or a control system (see Remote Control Operation for more details).

Blank

You can blank the output by pressing the BLANK button. If you press the button again, the previous input will be selected. For example, let’s say you currently have Input 3 selected. If you press BLANK, the output will be blanked. If you press BLANK again, Input 3 will be selected. You can also exit blank by selecting another input.

There are two options for selecting what will be sent to the output when BLANK is selected (see Power-On Settings for more information):

1. Send nothing to the output.

2. Send sync to the output with no video (the sync is stripped off of Input 1.)

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

The IN3526vi switcher has an I/O port and an RS-232 port. The functions of these ports are described in this section.

I/O Port

Channels can be selected through the remote port by providing contact closures between the appropriate pins. The port also includes a +5V power supply and tally outputs, which can be used to power and control an IN3546R audio switcher to provide audio follow video switching. Several contact closure type control devices are available including:

IN3590 - An optional hard wired remote designed to work with IN3500 Series switchers. Control System - many control systems are capable of providing contact closures.

Control Parameters

In order to select a channel, the channel select pin (pins 1 - 6 and pin 8) must be connected to Common (pin 7). The contact closures may be momentary or continuous (latching). However, if the closure is latching, it must be opened before another channel can be selected.

Example: To switch to Input Channel #4, apply a contact closure between Pin 4 and Pin 7.

Tally Output

The I/O port also provides tally outputs (pins 10 - 15) which may be used to trigger other devices (such as the IN3546R), or provide feedback to a control system. When a channel is selected, either from the front panel the I/O port or RS-232, the Tally Output for that channel is switched on. The Tally Output is high when off, and goes low when switched on.

Control Port Pin Outs

The I/O port is a Female 15 Pin D connector with the following pin outs:

Pin 1 Select Input 1 Pin 9 +5 volts DC Pin 2 Select Input 2 Pin 10 Tally output for Input 6 Pin 3 Select Input 3 Pin 11 Tally output for Input 5 Pin 4 Select Input 4 Pin 12 Tally output for Input 4 Pin 5 Select Input 5 Pin 13 Tally output for Input 3 Pin 6 Select Input 6 Pin 14 Tally output for Input 2 Pin 7 Common Pin 15 Tally output for Input 1 Pin 8 Select Blank

Using the IN3546R Stereo Audio Switcher

The IN3546R Stereo Audio Switcher may be attached to the IN3526vi via the REMOTE CONTROL port. This provides a +5V power supply for the IN3546R Switcher and a control link. When the IN3546R is attached to the control port using an IN9112 control link cable, the IN3546R will automatically switch to the appropriate input channel, mirroring the input selected on the attached RGBS switcher and adding audio-follow-video capability to the switcher.

Using RS-232 Control

The IN3526vi has an RS-232 ports which will accept serial commands from a control system, computer serial port, or any other device capable of sending out serial ASCII commands at compatible baud rates. All switching and most configuration and set-up parameters can be controlled using RS-232 commands.

Communication Protocol:

The baud rate is selectable from 1200 to 19200 baud. Communication parameters are as follows:

1200 baud (Factory default setting) No Parity 8 data bits 1 stop bit

Protocol Structure:

All commands sent to the unit must contain a leading character, the actual command, and an ending character. Each command must be completely executed by the IN3526vi before it will accept a new command. When a command is executed, the unit provides the response [OK] to indicate that the command was received and executed. The response [ERR] indicates that there was a problem and the command was not executed.

The IN3526vi can recognize one of four sets of leading and ending characters, also called the Command Codes. These are: [ ] { } ( ) < >. The factory default for the Command Code is [ ]. The Command code can only be changed via RS-232.

A complete command string consists of:

[ The leading character CH2 The actual command. ] The ending character

Some sample commands are as follows:

[CH1] Select Input 1 [FP0] Disable the front panel operation

CONTROLLING MULTIPLE INLINE PRODUCTS

Many INLINE products such as the IN3526vi, PATHFINDER, and the IN1024/IN1224/IN1424 scan doublers use similar communication protocol structures. By setting each unit to a different Command Code, up to four INLINE products can be controlled independently by a single RS-232 serial control port (Note: An RS-232 distribution amplifier may be required.)

ADVANCED SETTINGS

The IN3526vi has features that can be of benefit in some applications. These features can be enabled/disabled via power-on or RS-232 (see those sections for more details.)

VERTICAL INTERVAL SWITCHING

Vertical interval switching can eliminate visual glitches when switching between different sources. This is accomplished by waiting and switching the input during the vertical interval when no image is being displayed. However, this is only useful when all input signals are genlocked together. Vertical interval switching can be enabled or disabled via a power-on setting.

The IN3526vi uses the sync signal from input 1 to generate its sync reference. When a switch is made, the unit waits for the next vertical sync pulse and then executes the switch. If a vertical sync pulse is not received within approximately 71 msec (the time for about 4 fields), the switch is made.

SCAN MODE

When set to the Scan mode, the IN3526vi automatically switches the inputs at a certain interval. The inputs to be selected can be set to all inputs or the first so many inputs (such as inputs 1, 2 and 3.) The time interval can be set to approximately 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 seconds, and is the same interval for all inputs.

When the auto-sequencing is active, none of the input buttons function except for the BLANK button. The autosequencing can be paused by pressing the BLANK button. While paused, you can select any input by pressing the desired input button. To resume the auto-sequencing, simply press the BLANK button again.

MASTER / SLAVE SWITCHER

Large switching systems can be configured by cascading multiple IN3526vi switchers. Connect the output of the first switcher to Input 1 of the next switcher and continue for as many switchers as you are cascading. Also, connect the RS-232 Transmit pin of the first switcher to the RS-232 Receive pin of the next switcher and continue for as many switchers as you are cascading.

Lastly, you need to configure all switchers except the last one as a Master switcher. When an IN3526vi is set-up as a Master switcher, it transmits the RS-232 command [CH1] every time a switch occurs. This command causes the next switcher to switch to channel 1, and this proceeds for all down-stream switchers so that the selected channel is sent to the output. You can set an IN3526vi as a Master or Slave switcher via a Power-On Setting. (Note: All switchers must be set for the same baud rate and command codes for cascading to operate properly.)

A Slave switcher does not send out any RS-232 command when a switch occurs. This is the default mode of operation.

POWER-ON SETTINGS

The power-on settings set the IN3526vi for specific applications. The installing technician will generally set these settings when the unit is first installed and rarely changed. Power-On settings are selected by holding down a specific front panel button while applying power to the unit and holding the button for approximately 3 seconds. These settings are not selectable when the unit is already powered up (except through RS-232 commands.) Once set, these settings are stored in the IN3526vi so that the unit will return to this mode on power down/up.

Reset to Factory Default Settings

Vertical Interval Switching

Hold down the INPUT 1 button while applying power to the unit. This will reset the unit to the following state:

Front Panel operation enabled Vertical Interval switching off Slave Switcher operation 1200 baud “[ ]” Command codes Normal switching operation (scanning off) Blank sends nothing to the output

Hold down the INPUT 2 button while applying power to the unit. This will enable vertical interval switching. The unit uses the sync signal from Input 1 to determine when to switch. The vertical interval switching can be disabled by resetting the unit to Factory Default.
