DESCRIPTION
The IN3552R and IN3562R are high performance analog video switchers featuring two inputs and one
output. These switchers are designed to route high resolution source signals to an attached video
projector, monitor, LCD panel or color printer. Users may select the desired input channel using the
front panel channel select button or via remote control by using a wired remote, third-party control
system, or any other device capable of providing a latching contact closure. The IN3552R / IN3562R
switchers offer easy operation and the following features:
♦ 650 MHz or 500 MHz Video Bandwidth – high performance units 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 Button and LED Indicators
♦ Remote Port - allows for remote selection of input channel using contact closure. A status pin
provides feedback to a control system to indicate which input is currently selected.
♦ Monitor EmulationSwitches (IN3562R only) - for Input 1 and Input 2 can provide VGA or MAC
monitor emulation for applications where a computer graphics card is connected directly to the
switcher input.
♦ Rack Mountable – Units rack mount in a 1U rack space using the optional IN9080 rack shelf. Two
units will mount side-by-side on a single rack shelf. A single unit may be rack-mounted by using the
IN9080 Rack Shelf plus an IN9088 Blank Panel.

COMPATIBILITY
The IN3552R and IN3562R switchers are passive devices which will switch a wide variety of signals.
While the units were primarily designed for use with high resolution RGB analog computer graphics type
signals, they may also be used to switch Composite Video, S-Video (Y/C), Component Video, or audio
signals. The IN3552R and IN3562R function very similarly, utilizing the same front control panel and
switching circuitry. The main difference between the various models is the type of input/output
connectors on the back panel and the number of discrete signal components for each input.
IN3552R RGBHV Analog Video Switcher - is a two input, one output switcher featuring a set of five
BNCs for each input and output connection. The unit can switch five discrete signal components for
each input and is compatible with analog computer video signals in any of the following formats:
RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, and composite monochrome with sync. Since the IN3552R switches
five discrete signal components simultaneously, it may also be employed as audio-follow-video switcher
when used with composite, Y/C, component or RGBS signals.
IN3562R VGA Switcher - is a two input, one output switcher featuring 15-pin HD connectors for input
and output connection. The IN3562R connects directly to VGA, S-VGA, and XGA computer graphics
cards and monitors using standard 15-HD VGA extension cables. For applications where the computer
graphics card will be connected directly to the switcher, monitor emulation dip switches are available
which can emulate a VGA or MAC monitor (see page 5). The IN3562R has six discrete signal paths for
six signal components and may be used with analog video signals in any of the following formats:
RGBHVS, RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, and composite monochrome with sync. The switcher can
be connected to MAC, SUN, SGI and 4 or 5 BNC workstations using input / output adapter cables, which
are available in a variety of lengths (see list on page 2).
This section offers step-by-step instructions for installing IN3552R / IN3562R switchers. A detailed
application drawing showing all equipment connections is shown on the next page.
1. Connect both sources to the IN3552R / IN3562R input connectors.
IN3552R: 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 RGBHV format, and amplify the
signal to compensate for long input/output cable runs.
IN3562R: A 1x2 distribution amplifier (IN3262 / IN3262D) may be required at each computer
in order to split off a signal for each the computer’s local monitor, provide monitor emulation and
amplify the signal to compensate for long input/output cable runs. If the computer video outputs
are being connected directly to the switcher inputs, it may be necessary to set the IN3562R input
termination switches to emulate a VGA or MAC monitor. Information on these dip switches is
silk screened on the bottom of the unit and can also be found on page 5.
2. Connect the IN3552R / IN3562R output to the display device.
3. 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
following cables are recommended for use with the IN3552R / IN3562R switchers.
IN3552R: Use IN7000-5, IN7100-5, IN7200-5, IN7300-5Series - 5 Conductor Cables,
available in a variety of lengths from 6’ to 250’, terminated with male BNC connectors.
IN3562R with VGA, MAC, SUN, SGI, 4&5-BNC computer graphics cards, monitors and
data displays: Use the input / output adapter cables as indicated in the chart below.

Output Cables 3' Long N/A IN9141 IN9143 IN9149
6’ Long IN8006 IN9047 12’ Long IN8012 IN9045
Input Selection
The IN3552R / IN3562R two input switchers provide a front panel button which may be used to select
the desired input channel. Each time the SELECT button is pressed the unit toggles back and forth
between Input 1 and Input 2 and the appropriate front panel LED indicator lights to show the current
channel selection. The non-selected channel is terminated into 75 Ohms. The switcher 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 wired remote or a third-party control system (see Remote Control Operation below for more details).
Since the IN3552R / IN3562R switchers are passive, they are 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 two 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
PIN
FUNCTION
1 Input Select
2 Ground
3 Status
The IN3552R / IN3562R switchers have a REMOTE port, a 3-pin captive screw connector which allows
the units to be remotely controlled and also provides feedback to indicate which input is currently
selected. Input 1 or Input 2 can be selected through the remote port by providing a latching contact
closure between the pin 1 and pin 2 on the REMOTE jack. Opening or closing the contact closure on the
REMOTE jack causes the unit to select the opposite input. The front panel switch and the contact
closure switch work independently. Therefore, an open or closed status between pins 1&2 on the
REMOTE port could select either Input 1 or Input 2 depending on the current position of the front panel
switch as indicated in the chart below.
Front Panel Button - Out
Front Panel Button - Depressed
Pin 1 & Pin 2 - No Connection Pin 1 Grounded to Pin 2
The REMOTE connector status pin can be used to provide feedback to a control system to indicate
whether Input 1 or Input 2 is currently selected. The status pin will be high or low depending on the
current input:
Pin 3 High (5V) - Input 2 is currently selected
Pin 3 Low (0V) - Input 1 is currently selected
Contact Closure Devices
Any device capable of providing a latching contact closure may be used to control the IN3552R /
IN3562R. Several contact closure type control devices are available:
IN6901 / IN6902 RS-232 to Contact Closure Converters - allow IN3500 Series switchers and
other INLINE devices with contact closure control ports to be controlled by RS-232 sources such
as control systems and computer serial ports.
Control System - many control systems are capable of providing contact closures.
Remote Control Panel - a custom remote panel or remote switch may be fabricated by the
installer.
Disable Front Panel Input Selector
The front panel input selector can be disabled for applications where the switcher will only be controlled
through the remote port. To disable or enable the front panel input selector, set Jumper 7 (located inside
the unit) as follows:
J7 Open: Front Panel Input Selector Enabled (factory default)
J7 Closed: Front Panel Input Selector Disabled
In order to set Jumper 7, the IN3552R / IN3562R case must be opened. The procedure
for opening the case and location of jumper 7 are indicated on page 6. This procedure
should only be done by a qualified technician in a static-free environment. Failure to
follow proper procedures could result in damage to the unit or electric shock.
When the front panel selector is disabled, the remote port always functions in the following manner (it
makes no difference how the front panel selector is set):
Pins 1 and 2 open: Input 2 Selected
Pin 1 grounded to Pin 2: Input 1 Selected
5
MONITOR EMULATION (IN3562R ONLY)
Some computer graphics cards must be connected to a local monitor in order to output a signal or select
an appropriate resolution. In order to ensure proper initialization of the graphics card at computer boot
up, a local monitor should be connected to each computer. If that is not practical, then the IN3562R
monitor emulation dip switches (located on the bottom of the switcher) should be set to the appropriate
settings for each input as indicated in the chart below.
Monitor Emulation Input 1 Input 2
VGA Color Monitor Dipswitch 1 - On Dipswitch 4 - On
Apple 13/14" RGB Monitor Dipswitch 1 - On Dipswitch 4 - On
Apple 2-Page Mono Dipswitch 3 - On Dipswitch 6 - On
Apple Portrait Monitor Dipswitch 2 & 3 - On Dipswitch 5 & 6 - On
Apple 21s Color Monitor Dipswitch 1, 2 & 3 - On Dipswitch 4, 5 & 6 - On
When using a multiscan or other MAC monitor not shown in the chart with most newer Apple Macintosh
computers, the Apple 13"/14" RGB monitor emulation settings will initialize the video card. The desired
resolution may then be selected using the Chooser menu.
The IN3552R / IN3562R switchers contain two internal fuses. If power is applied to the unit and neither
of the front panel LEDs is illuminated, these fuses may be blown. Open the case as described below,
locate the two fuses as indicated in the diagram below and replace blown fuses as required with new
200mA / 250V fuses.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The display device connected to the switcher 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’s video output. VGA / SVGA / XGA / SXGA graphics cards operate at multiple
resolutions and refresh rates with newer modes such as 1920 x 1400 running as high as
79KHz! Check the operation manual on both the computer graphics card and the display
device to ensure that they are compatible.
Solution 2: The RGB, VGA, or MAC 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 front LEDs. If no LED is on, the AC
power source may be faulty or the unit may have an internal problem. Check the two internal
200mA fuses (see Page 6).
When controlling the switcher through the REMOTE CONTROL port, Input 2 can be
selected for an instant, but then the unit quickly switches back to Input 1.
Solution: The control system may be providing a momentary contact closure. The IN3552R/IN3562R
require a latching closure to select Input channel 2.
When hooking a MAC Quadra computer directly to the IN3562R input, the computer is
booting up in the 13" RGB monitor resolution (640 X 480). How can the computer be
forced to boot in the 21" mode?
Solution: Use an IN2076 distribution amplifier to split the signal between the local monitor and the
switcher input. The computer will see the 21" local monitor attached to the IN2076 loopthrough connector and will boot up in that high resolution mode.
