Product Overview

DESCRIPTION

The IN1124 Twisted Pair Transm itter / D istribution A m plifier and IN1130 Tw isted P air R eceiv er
/ Distribution Amplifier combine to make a system for sending high-resolution RGBHV signals
and audio signals up to 500 feet using Category 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. By using
one IN1124 transmitter and four IN1130 receivers, the VGA and audio signal from one source
computer can be split and amplified to drive a local monitor plus up to eight additional displays.
The IN1124 / IN1130 twisted pair video / audio transmission system lets A/V system designers
and installers take advantage of the compact size, flexibility, and extremely low cost of CAT5
UTP cable.

PRODUCT FEATURES

IN1124-1 Twisted Pair Transmitter / Distribution Amplifier for High-Resolution Video -

features four RJ45 female output ports (for connection to four CAT5 cables) as well as a local
monitor output.

IN1124-2 Twisted Pair Transmitter / Distribution Amplifier for High-Resolution Video &
Audio - provides the same features as the IN1124-1 as well as dual stereo mini connectors: one

for stereo audio input, and the other to drive a local audio device.
IN1130-1 Twisted Pair Receiver / Distribution Amplifier for High-Resolution Video - can

drive two data display devices simultaneously.

IN1130-2 Twisted Pair Receiver / Distribution Amplifier for High-Resolution Video &
Audio - provides the same features as the IN1130-1, as well as dual mini connectors for mono

audio output.
High Quality Video - The IN1124 / IN1130 system employs sophisticated video circuitry to

maintain excellent video quality with VGA video signals at resolutions as high as 1600 x 1200.
A Video Peaking control on the IN1130 receiver lets users fine tune the video compensation to
optimize the video image for various cable lengths.

Flexible Input Signal Compatibility - In addition to VGA signal compatibility at all resolutions
up to 1600 x 1200, the IN1124 / IN1130 system is also compatible with high-resolution analog
video RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB signals at a variety of resolutions and refresh rates. By using the
appropriate adapter cables (see the table on page 6), the IN1124 / IN1130 system can transmit
video and stereo audio signals from MAC, SUN, SGI and other high-resolution workstations.

Twisted Pair Cable Compatibility - The IN1124 / IN1130 has been optimized for Category 5
unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. However, the system will work with other twisted pair
cables that conform to the appropriate pin outs and performance characteristics. The system may
be used with CAT3 cable, but video performance will be compromised and maximum cable
lengths and input signal resolution must be decreased. As new, higher performance types of
twisted pair cables are developed in the future (that exceed the capabilities of CAT5), the IN1124

/ IN1130 will be able to offer enhanced video bandwidth over longer cable runs.
Rack Mountable - Two IN1124 transmitters can be rack mounted side-by-side in a 1U rack space.

ADVANTAGES OF CAT5 CABLE

Category 5 cable is a 4-pair, twisted pair cable that’s extremely affordable, costing only a fraction
of high-resolution multi-conductor coaxial cables. In addition, CAT5 cable features:

Quick and Easy Termination - Utilizing RJ45 connectors, CAT5 cables offer fast, easy
and extremely economical cable terminations.

Easy Handling and Compact Size - CAT5 cable is much thinner than high-resolution and
super high-resolution coaxial cables, providing easy cable pulls and preserving conduit
space. Using multiple IN1124 transmitters and IN1130 receivers allows users to send a
dozen or more RGBHV signals in the same conduit space required for a single super high­resolution 5-conductor coaxial cable.

INLINE CAT5 Cables - INLINE offers the IN9500 series of CAT5 cables, available in lengths
from 50 feet to 300 feet (longer lengths are available via special order). These high quality
CAT5 cables are pre-terminated with molded RJ45 connectors for enhanced durability.

Using special technology that allows high resolution video and stereo audio transmission over
CAT 5 cables, the IN1124 / IN1130 system leverages the many advantages of CAT5 cable and
provides A/V systems designers with an economical, space efficient solution for high-resolution
video and audio signal transmission in a variety of applications.

Compatibility

INPUT

The IN1124 Twisted Pair Transmitter / D istribution A m plifier w ill accept analog v ideo sig n als, at
a variety of resolutions and refresh rates, from virtually any computer. The unit is compatible
with high-resolution analog video RGBHV / RGBS / RGsB signals, and can accept video and
stereo audio signals from MAC, SUN, SGI and 4 or 5 BNC.

The IN1124-2 shares the same features as the IN1124-1, but also provides a 3.5mm stereo mini
connector for stereo audio input. The IN1124-2 converts stereo audio signals to mono audio.

OUTPUT

The IN1124 provides a local monitor loop output on a 15-pin HD female connector, allowing
direct connection without the need for additional equipment. All sense pins are passed from each
input directly to the corresponding local monitor output. Since the unit also acts as a four-output
distribution amplifier, four RJ45 female output ports are provided for connection to four CAT5
cables.

Featuring dual 15-pin HD female outputs, the IN1130 can drive up to two data display devices
simultaneously. The output signal is compatible with high-resolution data grade monitors and
data / graphics projectors, making it ideal for use with LCD projectors and other data display
devices which require that all VGA sync formats and polarities remain unchanged from the
original source signal.

The IN1124-2 features (1) 3.5mm mini connector for stereo audio output (to drive a pair of
powered speakers / local audio device), and the IN1130-2 provides (2) 3.5mm mini connectors
for mono audio output.

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 2048 x 1536). The data projector
or monitor connected to the system 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 IN1124 Twisted Pair Transmitter /
Distribution Amplifier and the IN1130 Twisted Pair Receiver / Distribution Amplifier. An
APPLICATION DIAGRAM is provided on page 7.

Note: Read the instructions carefully before initiating the installation procedure. Make sure that
there is no power connected to any of the units.

1.) Place / install the IN1124 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 using an optional IN9080
rack shelf. When attaching any INLINE unit to an INLINE rack mount shelf, the four (4)

rubber feet must

The IN1124 local monitor output is not buffered. Therefore, the LOCAL
MONITOR OUTPUT Connector Port must be terminated, either with a local
monitor or the IN9031 VGA Termination Plug (included).

6.) Run the appropriate IN9500 Series CAT5 cable from the IN1124 to the IN1130.

Note: Always test your cable(s) prior to any permanent installation.

It is imperative that the wired pairs in the IN1124 / IN1130 CAT5 system
adhere to the wiring standards shown on the following page, otherwise the

system will not function properly. The pertinent standard for INLINE’s
CAT5 cable is the TIA 568B. In order for the IN1124 / IN1130 system to
function properly, the CAT5 wire pairs (regardless of their color) must be
maintained within both RJ45 connectors.

7.) Connect one end of the CAT5 cable(s) to one of the RJ45 Output Receptacles on the back of
the IN1124. Connect the other RJ45 connector(s) to the CAT5 Input Receptacle(s) on the
back of the IN1130 (s).

8.) Connect the IN1130 15-pin VGA output(s) to the display device(s).

9.) If applicable, connect the powered local speakers to the 3.5mm outlet(s) on the back of the

IN1130-2. Featuring (2) 3.5mm mini connectors for mono audio output, the IN1130-2 can
drive two pairs of speakers simultaneously, or be connected to any audio device that accepts a
buffered line level audio signal.

10.) Connect the round connector on the IN9204-1 / IN9204-2 power supply (included) to the
power input jack of the IN1130 (s) (located on the right side of the rear panel). Connect the
adapter box side of the power supply to the A/C power source. Both units power up
automatically after A/C power has been applied (the power indicator lights / front panel LEDs
will illuminate).

11.) Connect the round connector on the IN9211-1 / IN9211-5 power supply (included) to the
power input jack of the IN1124 (also located on the right side of the rear panel). Connect the
adapter box side of the power supply to the A/C power source.

12.) Turn on the computer, local monitor, all powered speakers and all remote data monitors.

13.) The IN1130 features a video peaking control (located on the right side of the back panel) that
enhances image detail and sharpness by boosting high frequencies, allowing users to optim ize
the display device(s) video image for various cable lengths. Turning the regulator clockwise
will increase the peaking, and counter-clockwise will decrease the peaking. Using the
IN9333 adjustment tool (provided), gently adjust the peaking control until optimum

SELECTING THE RIGHT CAT5 CABLE

The CAT5 standard was created to address issues related to high bandwidth transmission of data
signals. CAT5 cables were not originally intended for video and audio signal transmission and
unfortunately, many performance characteristics that are important for good quality transmission of
video signals are not included in the CAT5 spec and are not tested by most cable manufacturers.
Many cable performance parameters such as attenuation, bandwidth, capacitance and near-end cross
talk are important to video performance; however, impedance and pair-to-pair skew have the
greatest effect when transmitting high resolution video signals over CAT5 cables.

Impedance - There is a wide variance in impedance between different brands of cables. The TIA
/ EIA* standard for CAT5 impedance is 100 ohms -/+ 15 ohms. Some CAT5 cables have an
impedance of 100 ohms +/- 50 ohms, rendering them virtually useless above 100 MHz. The
visible result may be multiple images or “ghosting” in the displayed image.

Skew - Another factor that affects the performance of CAT5 cable is skew (timing differences on
multi-pair cable). Signals arriving at different times could result in misconvergence (improperly
aligned colors) on the video display device. For best performance with high resolution video
signals, we recommend that you select a CAT5 with less than 8 nanoseconds per 100 meters of
cable. Because skew is cumulative, it becomes more visible with longer cable lenghts.

A few manufacturers have now responded with CAT5 cable formulations that were specially
designed to match the stringent requirements of high resolution video signal transmission. The
INLINE IN9500 Series CAT5 cables provide excellent performance with the IN1124 / IN1130.
