Installation
This section offers step-by-step instructions for installing the CIA100. An Application Diagram is
provided on page 5, and Front and Rear Panel Connector and Control Diagrams are on page 6.
Note: Read the instructions carefully before initiating the installation procedure. Before you
begin, make sure that there is no power connected to any components in the display system, and
that all the power buttons are off.
1.) Place / install the CIA100 at the desired location, making sure that the unit is seated on a flat
surface. The unit can be mounted to virtually any flat surface using the optional IN9250 L
Mounting Brackets that attach to the sides of the unit. Run the video coax cable to the interface.
Note: The optional IN9251 Flush Mount Brackets are available for mounting the CIA100 through a
hole in the tabletop.
2.) Set the dipswitches as appropriate for your installation (see page 7 for more details). The
CIA100 factory default output format is RGBHV. If your display device, routing system, or
cabling require a different format, use the dipswitches to change the output signal to RGBS or
RGsB as necessary. For best results with high-resolution data projectors / presentation
monitors, refer to the OPTIMAL SETTINGS FOR LCD / DMD / ILA / D-ILA / PLASMA
DISPLAYS Section on page 8.
3.) Turn the computer and computer monitor off. Disconnect the monitor from the video output
port on the computer.
4.) Connect the CIA100 video output (5 BNC connectors) to the data display device’s RGB input,
using three, four, or five high-resolution BNC cables or a multi-conductor RGBHV, RGBS, or
RGB "snake". The IN7000 Series, IN7200 Series, IN7300 Series and IN7400P Series high-
resolution cables are well suited for this purpose. Take care while making connections to
ensure that the red output is connected to the red input, green output to the green input, etc..
5.)
Connect the computer graphics card to the CIA100 15-pin video input port.
•
PC / MAC / SGI Computers with 15-pin HD Video Ports - can be connected via
IN8000M-1 / IN8200M-1 Series high-resolution coaxial VGA cables.
•
Older Macintosh (15-pin D) / SUN (13W3) / Workstations (4 or 5 BNC) - can be connected
using the appropriate input / output cables listed in the chart on the following page.
6.) Connect the local computer monitor (if applicable) to the local monitor output port of the CIA100.
Monitors with 15-pin VGA connectors will attach directly to the interface. For other types of
monitors, refer to the table on the next page.
If a local monitor is required, disengage the monitor emulation feature by
pressing the Monitor Emulation Button. See page 8 for more details.
