Product Overview
DESCRIPTION
The IN3564HR / IN3566HR is a high-performance video switcher that allow users to select
between four or six video sources and route the selected source to an attached video output device
such as a presentation monitor, video projector or desktop data monitor. Both models are
identical in function and design, with the only difference being the number of inputs:
The IN3564HR is a 4-input, 1-output VGA switcher.
The IN3566HR is a 6-input, 1-output VGA switcher.
The IN3564HR / IN3566HR switcher features a 350 MHz video bandwidth and is compatible
with VGA, SVGA, XGA, XGA2, UXGA and all other VGA signal resolutions and refresh rates.*
The switcher features five discrete signal paths per input, making it compatible with analog
signals in a variety of formats including RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs and monochrome high-
resolution video. In addition, the IN3564HR / IN3566HR is also compatible with NTSC / PAL /
SECAM signals in component, Y/C or composite video formats.
The IN3564HR / IN3566HR is not a scan converter. The data
projector, monitor or other output device must be compatible with the
horizontal scan rates output by the computer video cards.
PRODUCT FEATURES
Two Switching Modes - In Manual Mode, users select the desired input by pressing a large
front panel input button or remotely via contact closure control. In Autoswitch Mode, the unit
automatically selects the active input. If more than one input is active, the highest numbered
input has priority. Autoswitching Mode is ideal for automatic operation in installations with
multiple interfaces or wall plates. The unit can be set for Manual or Autoswitch Mode using a
slider switch on the back panel of the switcher. A front panel LED illuminates to indicate that the
unit has been set to the Autoswitch Mode.
Front Panel Control - Users select the desired input by pressing a front panel button. Each time
a button is pressed, the switcher selects the appropriate input and an LED lights to indicate the
currently active port. All non-selected inputs are terminated to 75 ohms.
Rack Mountable Unit - Two units may be mounted side-by-side in a 1U rack space using the
optional IN9080 Rack Shelf (two or more switchers can work together as a large switching
system). A single unit may be rack-mounted using the IN9080 Rack Shelf and the IN9088 Half-
Rack Blank Plate. The switcher has a sleek black finish that blends well with other rack mounted
equipment, complementing the decor of boardrooms, training facilities, control rooms and other
high-tech / high profile installations featuring exposed equipment racks.
*Both units can also route video from Macintosh G3 and G4 models with 15-Pin HD connectors.
