OUTPUT
The output signal of the IN3564HR / IN3566HR is analog RGB video with TTL sync on a 15-
pin HD VGA female connector. This 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.
Installation
This section offers step-by-step instructions for connecting / installing the IN3564HR /
IN3566HR Switcher. A detailed application drawing showing all equipment connections is
included on page 4.
1. Units mounted in a 1U rack should be installed before making any connections. Multiple
units must first be installed in an IN9080 Rack Shelf. Single units can be mounted in the
rack shelf with an IN9088 Half-Rack Blank Plate.
2. Connect all VGA sources to the IN3564HR / IN3566HR input connectors.* Unused inputs
do not need to be terminated.
3. Connect the display device to the output of the IN3564HR / IN3566HR.
Cable selection is critical to overall system performance, especially when
dealing with very high scan rates and / or long cable runs. High-resolution
VGA extension cables such as the IN8000 Series are recommended for all
input and output connections.
4. Apply AC Power to the unit (the unit powers up automatically).
5. Select the appropriate switching mode. The mode switch on the back of the IN3564HR /
IN3566HR is used to select between auto and manual. The LED on the front of the switcher
indicates when the unit is in auto switch mode. By applying the optional IN3590 Remote
Control, the user will override the mode switch.
* A 1 x 2 distribution amplifier (such as an IN3262D / IN3262DS) may be required at one or more of
the input devices in order to split off a signal for local monitors and / or amplify the signal to
compensate for long cable runs. For applications that require cable runs in excess of 300’, users may
wish to employ the IN1110 / IN1111 Video Transmitter / Receiver System to improve signal quality.
VGA 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 1920 x 1080). The data
projector or monitor connected to the switcher 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.
