DESCRIPTION
The IN3213 / IN3262 are dedicated video distribution amplifiers designed to work with specific computer
graphic signals. Since the units have two buffered outputs, they permit the signal from one computer
graphics card to be split out to two display devices. The IN3213 / IN3262 are frequently used to amplify
and split the computer’s video signal so it may be viewed on the local monitor and a second data display
device such as an LCD panel, data projector or presentation monitor. These units do not alter the video or
sync signals, but merely amplify the signals to a level needed to extend the external display(s) as far as 100
feet away. The IN3213 / IN3262 distribution amplifiers are fully automatic, offering easy operation and
the following features:
♦
Two Buffered Outputs for Maximum Performance and Flexibility - Input and Output Cables May Be
Extended as Needed Using High Resolution Coaxial Cables (IN8000 Series / IN8400 Series)
♦
High Resolution Coaxial Input Cable with Molded Connector
♦
Units Maintain Sync Polarities - Ideal for Use with LCD Panels and LCD Projectors
♦
400 MHz bandwidth for superb performance with video signals at any resolution and refresh rate
INPUT COMPATIBILITY
The IN3213 / IN3262 distribution amplifiers operate with specific video signals as detailed below:
IN3262 - operates with analog video input from a wide variety of IBM and compatible computer video
signal formats including VGA, SVGA, XGA, and 8514A. Input signals to the IN3262 must be in the
RGBHV format and provided on a 15 pin HD connector. All sense pins are passed from the input
connector to Output #1 to ensure proper sensing of a local monitor.
IN3213 - operates with analog video signals from high resolution workstations such as the Sun SPARC
family, most SGI workstations and many other workstations with a 13W3 video connector. The IN3213 is
compatible with signals in the RGBS or RGsB formats. All sense pins are passed from the input connector
to Output #1 to enable communication between the computer video port and the attached local monitor if
present.
OUTPUT COMPATIBILITY
The IN3213 / IN3262 offer two buffered video output signals in the same format and using the same
connector as the original input signal. This is ideal for use with devices such as LCD panels, LCD
projectors and proprietary data monitors which often must see a certain type of connector and sync format
in order to recognize and lock up to various frequencies. Since both outputs of the IN3213 / IN3262 are
buffered, the data display(s) may be located 100’ or more away from the source computer by using high
resolution coaxial extension cables. The maximum distance signals may be sent depends on the horizontal
scan rate of the signal and the bandwidth capability of the cables.
VGA, SVGA, XGA, SUN, SGI and other workstation video cards operate in several
different modes encompassing a wide range of resolutions and horizontal scan rates
and vertical refresh rates. The IN3213 / IN3262 are not scan converters and the
LCD panel/projector or data monitor must be compatible with the horizontal scan
rate put out by the computer video card. Please check the documentation for both the
computer video card and the data projection device in order to ensure compatibility.
