DESCRIPTION

The IN2160 is a high performance computer video interfaces dedicated for VGA, SVGA, and XGA,
graphic cards. Like other Inline interfaces, the IN2160 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 large screen data projector, monitor, or color
printer.

Physical Interfacing - Computers employ many different types of video output connectors,
making it difficult to hook up computers directly to data projection devices. The IN2160
simplify interfacing, routing, and switching tasks by acting as an adapter. The IN2160 can be
attached to a VGA computers and will provide a video output signal on BNC connectors which
can easily be connected to an RGB display device. The output signal format may be set to any of
the following formats: RGBHV (default), RGBS, and RGsB.

The IN2160 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.

The IN2160 High Performance Dedicated VGA interface offers easy operation and the following
features:

♦

400 MHz Bandwidth - High performance interface design ensures that video signals will be

interfaced with no loss of image detail.

♦

Analog Interface - the unit will operate with Analog Video with TTL level horizontal and vertical

sync signals.

♦

VGA Input and Output - the input and output are directly compatible with VGA, SVGA and XGA

graphic cards.

♦

Buffered Local Monitor Output - provides a buffered output to be connected to the local computer

monitor.

♦

Monitor Emulation Switch - eliminates the need for a termination plug if a local monitor is not

used. Emulates a color VGA monitor.

♦

Flexible Output Signal Formats - RGBHV (default), RGBS, and RGsB

♦

Horizontal Position Control - allows picture to be centered precisely on the data display screen.

♦

Sync Polarity Preservation Switch- enables the sync polarity to be preserved, or to set them for

negative polarity.

♦

Serration Pulse Removal Switch - for RGBS output, enables the user to remove serration pulses

from the sync output.
