IN3526VI OPERATION MANUAL - REV. 2 12/01/98

DESCRIPTION

The IN3526vi is a six input and one output switcher designed for composite or S-Video signals. The IN3526vi
switcher routes one of several video source signals to an attached video recorder, monitor, projector or other
video equipment. Users may select the desired input channel using front panel buttons or via remote control.
The IN3526vi switcher offers easy operation and the following features:

♦

100 MHz Bandwidth - allows the unit to be used with high resolution computer video signals as well as
NTSC/PAL/SECAM composite and S-Video signals

♦

Vertical Interval Switching

♦

Front Panel Channel Selection Controls and LED Indicators

♦

Auto-sequencing of selected inputs in time intervals of 2.5 to 30 seconds

♦

Contact Closure and RS-232 control port for remote selection of input channels

♦

Cascading capability to create larger switching configurations

♦

I/O port to power and control an IN3546R 6 in, 1 out Stereo Audio Switcher for audio follow video
applications.

COMPATIBILITY

The IN3526vi switcher will switch a wide variety of signals. While the unit was primarily designed for
Composite Video and S-Video (Y/C) signals, it can also switch high resolution computer video signals. The
IN3526vi shares the composite video and Luma (Y) channel, so it is not designed to handle both signal formats at
the same time. However, if your display device can switch between composite and S-Video, you can have some
inputs be composite and others be S-Video (although you will need to switch your display to view the proper
signal.)
