DESCRIPTION
The IN3056 and IN3058 are high performance analog video distribution amplifiers designed for S-Video
signals. These units feature separate amplification circuitry for the chroma and luma video signal
components and 4-Pin mini DIN connectors for input and outputs. The IN3056 is a 1 input, 4 output
distribution amplifier and the IN3058 is a 1 input 8 output distribution amplifier. These units feature
high video bandwidth performance of 100 MHz and employ very compact designs which allow them to
be installed in a small space. The IN3056 / IN3058 include separate gain controls for the chroma and
luma signals which may be adjusted to compensate for signal loss caused by long cable runs. Multiple
IN3056/IN3058 units can be looped together to provide additional outputs.
COMPATIBILITY
The IN3056 / IN3058 are compatible with S-Video input signals in NTSC, PAL, and SECAM standards.
These units will also amplify and distribute one or two separate composite video signals if IN9093 S-
Video to 2-BNC adapters are used on the input and outputs.
INSTALLATION
An application diagram showing all connections is included on the next page.
1. Connect the video signal from the source to the IN3056 / IN3058 input.
2. Connect the IN3056 / IN3058 outputs to the display devices or other video output equipment.
3. Apply power to the unit (9 V 200 mA DC) using the supplied power adapter.
4. Adjust Chroma and Luma controls as needed (see Internal Controls section for details.)
It is very important to use good quality S-Video cables on all input and
output connections. Low cost S-Video cables often do not use coaxial cable
construction, and provide poor performance at distances greater than 6 to 12
feet. A better choice is an S-Video cable fabricated with two mini-coax
cables such as the IN8600 Series. For highest quality transmission on the
longest cable runs, a pair of high resolution coaxial cables (RG59 or better)
is recommended to carry the chroma and luma signal components. The
IN9093 S-Video male to 2-BNC female adapters may be used to adapt
regular BNC cables to the IN3056/IN3058 input and output connectors.
