IN2013 OPERATION MANUAL - REV 1.1 12/11/99
©1995 - INLINE, INC.
DESCRIPTION
The IN2013 is a high performance dedicated computer video interface for Sun SPARC, SGI,
IBM PowerPC, NeXT, and other graphic workstations with 13W3 video ports. Like other
INLINE interfaces, the IN2013 carries out three primary functions. This first function is signal
splitting as the interface allows for the simultaneous connection and viewing of both the
computer’s local monitor and a second display device such as a large data monitor or data
projector. The second function is physical interfacing and adaption. The IN2013 connects to
workstations with special video connectors (13W3) and provides output signal on standard BNC
connectors. The final function is electronic interfacing. The interface accepts video in a wide
variety of sync formats and converts the signal to RGsB, RGBS, or RGBHV as required by the
display device, cabling, and video routing system.
PRODUCT FEATURES
•
Universal Compatibility for Graphic Workstations with 13W3 Video Ports- The
IN2013 offers extremely flexible input signal flexibility for use with high performance
graphic workstations. Factory set for automatic operation with Sun and SGI computers, the
unit will accept other workstation signals by flipping one or two dip switches.
•
Exceptional Video Performance - Featuring advanced video amplification circuitry, the
IN2013 offers video bandwidth in excess of 230 MHz, ensuring that even the highest
resolution workstation video signals will be interfaced with complete signal clarity.
•
Buffered Local Monitor Output - Ensures highest quality display on the local monitor.
This buffered output provides the flexibility to place the local monitor anywhere since the
monitor cable may be extended if necessary.
•
Automatic Output Sync Format Selection - The IN2013 senses the number of cables
connected to the outputs at power up and automatically sets the output sync format to
RGBHV, RGBS or RGsB. LED indicators located next to the Green, H/Comp Sync, and V
Sync output BNCs provide clear visual confirmation of the current output sync format.
•
Flexible Monitor Emulation - The interface is set at the factory to pass all sense pins
through to the local monitor, ensuring that the graphics card sees the sense signals from the
attached monitor and sets itself to the appropriate resolution, refresh rate or frequency.
For applications where the IN2013 will be used without a local monitor, dip switches are
provided to emulate virtually any monitor.
•
Multi-Step Sharpness Control - optimized to provide maximum visible sharpness
enhancement with high resolution workstation video signals.
