MONITOR EMULATION
Using the IN2013 With a Local Monitor
Many high resolution graphic workstations use sense signals to set resolution, horizontal
frequency, and vertical refresh rate. The IN2013 passes all sense pins between the computer
video port and the local monitor attached to the Local Monitor Output, ensuring that the
computer can sense the attached monitor and set itself to an appropriate resolution and scan rate
for that monitor. The Monitor Emulation dip switches must all be set to “0” when using a
local monitor. This allows all sense pins to pass through, ensuring proper operation of the
graphics card and monitor.
Using the IN2013 Without a Local Monitor
The IN2013 design makes it easy to use the interface without a local monitor. Because the Local
Monitor Output port is buffered, there is no need for a termination plug to terminate the video
signals when used without a local monitor.
The IN2013 includes a bank of 10 dip switches on the bottom side of the interface for monitor
emulation, permitting the interface to emulate virtually any type of monitor. By setting these
switches to the appropriate positions, the user may emulate the appropriate sense signals, setting
the video card to the desired frequency, refresh rate and resolution even without a local monitor.
If you are not using a local monitor, but need to emulate a specific mode, locate your workstation
type and desired mode in the chart below. If you are not sure of the exact mode to select for your
computer, select the mode shown in bold since it is the most common mode. Using the Inline
adjustment tool provided with the interface, carefully set the dip switches to the appropriate
settings. Check the Monitor Emulation chart and the IN2013 dip switch settings carefully. An
improper setting of the emulation dip switches may lead to improper operation and could even
result in severe damage to the computer video port or the monitor. Some modes listed below
may not be supported by certain workstations / graphic cards.
