Product Overview
DESCRIPTION
The CIA116 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,
Macintosh

and other high-resolution workstations. The CIA116 combines high-
resolution computer interfacing and modular A/V connector plates into a versatile unit that fills several
different installation applications. This highly integrated approach gives audiovisual professionals the
ability to quickly design and install functional, customized computer interfacing and A/V connectivity
solutions for a broad spectrum of applications. Like other INLINE interfaces, the CIA116 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 a 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
CIA116 simplifies interfacing tasks by acting as a universal adapter. Through the use of
removable input cables, the CIA116 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 CIA116 is not a scan converter. The data projector, monitor or other
output device must be compatible with the horizontal scan rate output by
the computer video card.
PRODUCT FEATURES
•
15-Pin HD VGA Standard Connectors - The CIA116 connects directly to PC, Mac and SGI
graphics ports and local monitors using high-resolution coaxial VGA extension / adapter cables.
•
Three unique installation applications:
1) The CIA116 mounts neatly under a conference or boardroom table, computer
workstation or podium.
2) The unit fits snugly into a 1U rack space.
3) The interface can be flush mounted in a table surface exposing only the faceplate.
•
Ultra High-Resolution Amplification - The CIA116 provides superb performance with
analog video signals at any resolution.
•
Modular A/V Connector Plates - The front panel accepts up to four (4) A/V connector
modules, available with a variety of popular connectors.
•
Audio Buffering - The CIA116 accepts unbalanced stereo audio from a computer sound card
and can be set to output a balanced or unbalanced signal.
•
Selectable Output Sync Format - The unit can be set for RGBHV (default), RGBS or RGsB
output sync as required by the data display device and signal distribution system.
•
Buffered Local Monitor Output - ensures the highest quality display on a local monitor.
•
One-Button Monitor Emulation - makes it easy to use the interface without a local monitor.
•
New Soft-Touch Rocker Button for Horizontal Position Control - allows precise centering
of the image within the data display area.
•
Sharpness Control - provides effective image enhancement for high-resolution video signals
by increasing clarity and image detail, and compensates for signal loss during long cable runs.
