IN3552R / IN3562R OPERATION MANUAL - REV. 1.0 11/27/99
DESCRIPTION
The IN3552R and IN3562R are high performance analog video switchers featuring two inputs and one
output. These switchers are designed to route high resolution source signals to an attached video
projector, monitor, LCD panel or color printer. Users may select the desired input channel using the
front panel channel select button or via remote control by using a wired remote, third-party control
system, or any other device capable of providing a latching contact closure. The IN3552R / IN3562R
switchers offer easy operation and the following features:
♦
650 MHz or 500 MHz Video Bandwidth – high performance units route ultra-high resolution video
signals with no signal loss
♦
Passive Design - ensures compatibility with a wide range of video and audio signals
♦
Front Panel Channel Selection Button and LED Indicators
♦
Remote Port - allows for remote selection of input channel using contact closure. A status pin
provides feedback to a control system to indicate which input is currently selected.
♦
Monitor Emulation Switches (IN3562R only) - for Input 1 and Input 2 can provide VGA or MAC
monitor emulation for applications where a computer graphics card is connected directly to the
switcher input.
♦
Rack Mountable – Units rack mount in a 1U rack space using the optional IN9080 rack shelf. Two
units will mount side-by-side on a single rack shelf. A single unit may be rack-mounted by using the
IN9080 Rack Shelf plus an IN9088 Blank Panel.
COMPATIBILITY
The IN3552R and IN3562R switchers are passive devices which will switch a wide variety of signals.
While the units were primarily designed for use with high resolution RGB analog computer graphics type
signals, they may also be used to switch Composite Video, S-Video (Y/C), Component Video, or audio
signals. The IN3552R and IN3562R function very similarly, utilizing the same front control panel and
switching circuitry. The main difference between the various models is the type of input/output
connectors on the back panel and the number of discrete signal components for each input.
IN3552R RGBHV Analog Video Switcher - is a two input, one output switcher featuring a set of five
BNCs for each input and output connection. The unit can switch five discrete signal components for
each input and is compatible with analog computer video signals in any of the following formats:
RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, and composite monochrome with sync. Since the IN3552R switches
five discrete signal components simultaneously, it may also be employed as audio-follow-video switcher
when used with composite, Y/C, component or RGBS signals.
IN3562R VGA Switcher - is a two input, one output switcher featuring 15-pin HD connectors for input
and output connection. The IN3562R connects directly to VGA, S-VGA, and XGA computer graphics
cards and monitors using standard 15-HD VGA extension cables. For applications where the computer
graphics card will be connected directly to the switcher, monitor emulation dip switches are available
which can emulate a VGA or MAC monitor (see page 5). The IN3562R has six discrete signal paths for
six signal components and may be used with analog video signals in any of the following formats:
RGBHVS, RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, and composite monochrome with sync. The switcher can
be connected to MAC, SUN, SGI and 4 or 5 BNC workstations using input / output adapter cables, which
are available in a variety of lengths (see list on page 2).
