Product Overview
DESCRIPTION
The CIA112 is a high-performance computer interface for analog video and stereo audio signals. The
unit is compatible with a variety of analog video signals including VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA,
UXGA, MAC, SUN and other high-resolution workstations. The CIA112 combines a two-input high-
resolution computer video interface and modular A/V connector plates into a versatile unit that fits
neatly in a three gang junction box, and installs quickly in walls, podiums, conference tables or other
audiovisual / presentation furniture. Like other INLINE interfaces, the CIA112 performs the following
functions:
•
Signal Splitting - allows the simultaneous connection and viewing of both the computer’s
local monitor and a second output device such as an LCD data projector or a presentation
monitor.
•
Physical Interfacing - Because computers employ many different types of video output
connectors it is sometimes difficult to directly connect them to data projection devices. The
CIA112 simplifies interfacing tasks by acting as a universal adapter. Through the use of
removable input cables, the CIA112 can be attached to different computers and will provide a
video output signal on five BNC connectors. The output signal may be set to RGBHV
(default), RGBS or RGsB formats.
The CIA112 is not a scan converter. The data projector, monitor or other
output device must be compatible with the horizontal scan rate, vertical
scan rate and resolution output by the computer video card.
