INSTALLATION
This section offers step-by-step instructions for installing the IN2000 / IN2001. A detailed application drawing
showing all equipment connections is included on the next page.
1. Turn the computer and computer monitor off. Disconnect the computer monitor (if present) from the
video output port on the computer.
2. The IN5100 Series cables have a pass-through connector (Male and Female) on one end. The pass-
through end is connected to the computer and local monitor. Connect the male side of the pass-
through connector to the computer’s video output port.
3. Connect the local computer monitor (if present) to the female side of the IN51XX pass-through. If
no local monitor is used, a termination plug is required for analog type video signals.
Two of the most popular termination plugs are listed below:
IN5101A Cable Use an IN9031 15-pin HD VGA terminator plug (not included).
This emulates a color VGA monitor.
IN5161A Cable Use an IN9056 15-pin D MAC II terminator plug (not included).
This emulates a 13"/14" Apple monitor.
4. Connect the other end of the IN51XX cable (single male 15 pin HD connector) to the input connector
on the IN2000 / IN2001.
5. Connect the IN2000 / IN2001 RGBS output (4 BNC connectors) to the data display device’s RGBS
input, using four high resolution BNC cables or a multi-conductor RGBS "snake". The IN7000,
IN7100, and IN7600 series high resolution cables are well suited for this purpose. Take care while
making connections to insure that the red output is connected to the red input, green output to the
green input, etc.
6. Apply power to the interface. The green power LED will light to indicate the unit is receiving
power.
IN2000: Use the 12V 500 mA included power supply.
IN2001: Use a standard power cable (included on U.S. units).
7. Complete the installation by turning the computer and computer monitor on. If required, adjust the
horizontal position and RGB gain controls as detailed on Pages 6 and 7.
It is very important that the female side of loop-through cables receive a 75 ohm signal
termination when interfacing analog video signals. If no termination is provided, the
output of the interface will be very overdriven, appearing very bright with poor contrast.
The termination is also required by certain video cards (VGA, newer MACII, etc.) because
they sense the attached monitor at boot up and set the card for the appropriate mode.
The IN2000 / IN2001 must be located immediately adjacent to the computer. Do not
attempt to lengthen the IN51XX loop-through cable. If the IN51XX cable is extended,
ghosting or other signal problems may occur. Also, the local monitor cable should not
be more than 6 - 12’ long.
