While the input connector on the IN2000/2001 looks like a standard 15 pin HD VGA
connector (15 pins in three rows), this input uses proprietary pin connections to
accommodate the unit’s universal design. VGA and other signals can not be
attached directly to the input without the appropriate IN5100 Series loop cable.
OUTPUT COMPATIBILITY
The IN2000 / IN2001 output an analog video signal in the RGBS format (Red, Green, Blue, and
composite sync) on four BNC connectors. The output signal is compatible with many data projectors and
monitors. In addition to the default RGBS output format, the IN2000 / IN2001 may be set to output
RGsB or Composite Monochrome Video with Sync by changing the dip switch settings (see Pages 8 &
9).
A special version of the IN2000 is available for installations requiring an RGBHV output. This unit
features a 15 Pin HD Female connector on the output and may be ordered using the following model
designation: IN2000SP RES911722.
VGA, MACII, and high resolution workstation video cards operate in several different modes
encompassing a wide range of resolutions and horizontal scan rates. The IN2000 and IN2001 are not
scan converters and the data projector or monitor must be compatible with the horizontal scan rate output
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.
IN5100 SERIES MONITOR LOOP CABLES
Unlike Dedicated Video Interfaces which are designed to work with one specific type of computer
graphic signal and feature a permanently attached input cable, Universal Interfaces such as the IN2000 /
IN2001 function with a wide variety of input signals. These interfaces derive a great deal of their
flexibility and "universality" through the use of detachable input cables. The IN5100 Series includes
dozens of special input cables, each designed for a specific type of computer graphic signal or computer
model. For example, the IN5101A is designed for VGA / S-VGA / XGA type signals, while the
IN5161A works with MACII type video signals. Four main characteristics determine the make up of an
IN5100 Series cable:
w Analog or Digital signal
w Sync Format (RGBS, RGBHV, RGsB / RsGsBs, Monochrome)
w Video Output Connector Type (15 pin HD, 15 pin D, 25 Pin D, etc.) and pin-outs
w External or Internal Installation
Analog or Digital
Analog Cables are designated with the letter "A" (IN5101A, IN5133A, IN5161A). ECL cables
also receive the "A" designation (IN5126A, IN5137A).
TTL Digital Cables are designated with the letter "T" (IN5106T, IN5122T, IN5158T).
External or Internal Cables
Most IN5100 Series cables are inserted in-line between the computer’s video output and the monitor
input cable (see diagram on page 5). Some computers and terminals do not offer an external video
output, and INLINE has designed special internal IN5100 Series cables for several of these models.
Each internally mounted IN5100 Series cable includes an instruction sheet describing the installation
procedure.
