DESCRIPTION

The IN3554 and IN3556 are high performance analog video switchers featuring four or six inputs and one output. The IN3500 Series switchers are designed to route several high resolution source signals to an attached video projector, monitor, LCD panel or color printer. Users may select the desired input channel using front panel buttons or via remote control using an optional wired remote or control system. The IN3500 Series Switchers offer easy operation and the following features:

♦ 500 MHz Bandwidth - switchers route ultra-high resolution video signals with no signal loss ♦ Passive design ensures compatibility with a wide range of video and audio signals ♦ Front Panel Channel Selection Controls and LED Indicators ♦ Contact Closure control port for remote selection of input channel ♦ Front Panel Power Switch for easy operation in rack mounted installations

COMPATIBILITY

The IN3554 and IN3556 switchers are passive devices which will switch a wide variety of signals. These switchers feature a set of five BNCs for each input and output connection and can switch five discrete signal components for each input. While the units were primarily designed for use with high resolution RGBHV analog computer graphics type signals, they may also be used to switch analog video signals in any of the following formats: RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, Composite Video, S-Video (Y/C), Component Video. Since the IN3554/3556 switch five discrete signal components simultaneously, they may also be employed as audio-follow-video switchers. The IN3554 and IN3556 function very similarly and contain the same control and switching circuitry. The main difference between the two models is the number of inputs:

The IN3554 is a 4-Input, 1 Output RGBHV Switcher The IN3556 is a 6-Input, 1 Output RGBHV Switcher

INSTALLATION

This section offers step-by-step instructions for installing IN3500 Series switchers. A detailed application drawing showing all equipment connections is included on the next page.

1. Connect all sources to the IN3554/56 input connectors. Unused inputs do not need to be terminated.

2. An interface may be required for each computer video signal source in order to split off a signal for

each local monitor, bring all signals into the RGBS format, and amplify the signal to compensate for long input/output cable runs.

3. Connect the IN3554/56 output to the display device.

4. Apply AC power to the unit.

It is very important that all input / output connections be made utilizing high resolution coaxial cables. Proper cable selection is critical to overall system performance, especially when working with high frequency signals and/or long cable runs. The IN7000-5, IN7100-5, or IN7200-5 Series 5 BNC Male to 5 BNC Male cables are recommended for best results.

OPERATION

Power Switch

The POWER switch is located on the front panel and is a push, push again type switch which toggles between OFF and ON each time the button is pressed. The red power LED will light to indicate that the POWER switch has been activated and that an AC power source is available. The unit features AutoPower On, so once the POWER switch has been set to ON, the unit will be in that state if AC power is removed and then reapplied to the unit.

Input Selection

The IN3500 Series switchers provide four or six front panel buttons which may be used to select the desired input channel. 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. All non-selected channels are terminated to 75 Ohms. The output signal may be blanked (no input selected) by pressing and holding any two input buttons simultaneously. Input channels may also be selected remotely by using an optional IN3590 wired remote or a control system (see Remote Control Operation on page 4 for more details).

Since these switchers are passive they also bi-directional, meaning that signals may pass backwards through the unit. In such an installation, a single source signal is hooked up to the OUTPUT connector and multiple display devices are attached to the INPUT connectors. When an input is selected, the source signal is routed to one of the attached display devices.

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

The IN3554/56 RGB switchers have a REMOTE CONTROL port which allows these units to be remotely controlled. 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. Several contact closure type control devices are available including:

IN3590 - An optional hard wired remote designed to work with IN3500 Series switchers.

IN6901 / IN6902 RS232 to Contact Closure Converters - allow IN3500 Series switchers and

other INLINE devices with contact closure control ports to be controlled by RS232 sources such as control systems and computer serial ports.

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) must be connected to Common (pin 7 or 8). The contact closures may be momentary or continuous (latching).

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

If two channels are selected simultaneously, the output of the switcher is blanked (no output is selected). In order to maintain blanking these two closures must be continuous.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The display device connected to the RGBHV output has a bad/scrambled image.

Solution 1: The display device connected to the output of the switcher may not be compatible with the

computer output. CGA and EGA signals vary from 15.75 to 24 KHz. VGA runs at

31.5 KHz, but SVGA can be as high as 48 - 58 KHz. MACII/Quadra computers sense what monitor is connected and configure themselves accordingly, with horizontal scan rates ranging from 24.48 to 68.9 KHz. Graphics workstations may put out frequencies as high as 82 KHz. Check the operations manual on both the computer graphics card and the display device to ensure that they are compatible.

Solution 2: The RGBHV input or output cable may have a bad sync line. Try running the sync through

another cable.

The unit does not pass any signals.

Solution: Verify that the unit is getting power by checking the power LED on the front. If the LED is

not on, the AC power source may be faulty or the unit may have an internal problem. Check the two internal 200mA fuses.

When controlling the IN3500 Series switcher through the REMOTE CONTROL port, the image is blanked and no channel is being selected.

Solution: The control system may be closing two contacts at the same time. Check the wiring on the

control cable and the control system programming.
