Compatibility
INPUT
The CIA100 will accept high-resolution video signals from virtually any computer that outputs an
analog video signal. The unit will work with signals at virtually any resolution and refresh rate.
Compatible computer video signals include VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, UXGA, MAC, SUN,
SGI and other high-resolution computers outputting an analog video signal. Input signal
compatibility parameters are listed below.
Video Signal: Analog RGB Video
Signal format: RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB*
Horizontal Frequency Range: 30 KHz to 130 KHz
Vertical Refresh Rates: 30 Hz to 120 Hz
* The CIA100 will operate with RGsB input signals. However, the unit
will not strip sync off of the green. RGsB input signals are always output
as RGsB (they cannot be output as RGBS or RGBHV). Also, the horizontal
position control will not operate when used with RGsB input signals.
OUTPUT
The output signal of the CIA100 is analog RGB video with TTL sync on 3, 4 or 5 female BNC
connectors. The output format can be set to RGBHV, RGBS or RGsB using dipswitches. This
output signal is compatible with high-resolution data grade monitors and data / graphics
projectors.
VGA, MAC, SUN, SGI and other high-resolution workstations operate in
several video modes encompassing a wide range of resolutions and scan
rates. Many of the video signals from the newest models can run as high
as 70 KHz or more, with the newest VGA cards offering an output resolu-
tion of 1600 x 1200 (some can even go as high as 1920 x 1080). The data
projector or monitor connected to the interface output must be compatible
with the horizontal scan rate and vertical refresh rate of the computer’s
video signal. Please check the documentation for both the computer
graphics card and the data display device to ensure compatibility.
