Product Overview

DESCRIPTION

The IN3564HR / IN3566HR is a high-performance video switcher that allow users to select between four or six video sources and route the selected source to an attached video output device such as a presentation monitor, video projector or desktop data monitor. Both models are identical in function and design, with the only difference being the number of inputs:

The IN3564HR is a 4-input, 1-output VGA switcher. The IN3566HR is a 6-input, 1-output VGA switcher.
The IN3564HR / IN3566HR switcher features a 350 MHz video bandwidth and is compatible with VGA, SVGA, XGA, XGA2, UXGA and all other VGA signal resolutions and refresh rates.* The switcher features five discrete signal paths per input, making it compatible with analog signals in a variety of formats including RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs and monochrome high- resolution video. In addition, the IN3564HR / IN3566HR is also compatible with NTSC / PAL / SECAM signals in component, Y/C or composite video formats

The IN3564HR / IN3566HR is not a scan converter. The dataprojector, monitor or other output device must be compatible with the horizontal scan rates output by the computer video cards.

PRODUCT FEATURES

Two Switching Modes – In Manual Mode , users select the desired input by pressing a large front panel input button or remotely via contact closure control. In Autoswitch Mode , the unit automatically selects the active input.  If more than one input is active, the highest numbered input has priority. Autoswitching Mode is ideal for automatic operation in installations with multiple interfaces or wall plates. The unit can be set for Manual or Autoswitch Mode using a slider switch on the back panel of the switcher. A front panel LED illuminates to indicate that the unit has been set to the Autoswitch Mode.

Front Panel Control – Users select the desired input by pressing a front panel button. Each time a button is pressed, the switcher selects the appropriate input and an LED lights to indicate the currently active port. All non-selected inputs are terminated to 75 ohms.
Rack Mountable Unit – Two units may be mounted side-by-side in a 1U rack space using the optional IN9080 Rack Shelf (two or more switchers can work together as a large switching system). A single unit may be rack-mounted using the IN9080 Rack Shelf and the IN9088 Half- Rack Blank Plate. The switcher has a sleek black finish that blends well with other rack mounted equipment, complementing the decor of boardrooms, training facilities, control rooms and other high-tech / high profile installations featuring exposed equipment racks.

*Both units can also route video from Macintosh G3 and G4 models with 15-Pin HD connectors.

IN3564HR / IN3566HR Operation Manual – Preliminary 7/30/99  © 1999 – INLINE Inc.

15-Pin HD VGA Connectors – The IN3564HR / IN3566HR connects directly to VGA computer graphics cards and VGA data displays using high-resolution coaxial VGA extension cables such as the IN8000 Series. Input / output adapter cables (see table on page 6) are also available in a variety of lengths for MAC (15-Pin D), SUN (13W3) and various workstations (4 or 5 BNC).

Stereo Audio-Follow-Video – capability may be achieved using an optional IN3546R Stereo Audio Switcher in conjunction with the IN3564HR / IN3566HR. The IN3546R attaches to the remote port, receiving both power and switching commands from the attached VGA switcher.

Remote Control – The Remote Port allows for remote input selection by any device that is capable of providing momentary or latching contact closures. The remote port also includes a
+5V power supply and tally outputs to provide feedback to a control system. The IN3590 is an optional hardwire remote control that connects directly to the port and provides remote channel selection from up to 25’ away.
Blank Button – temporarily disconnects all video signals from the output when it is activated. When the Blank Button is pressed again (deactivated), the switcher returns to the last selected input.
Optional Input Label Plate – Two attachment posts are provided on the front panel above the input selector buttons to securely hold the IN9348 , an optional plastic plate that can be engraved to indicate the name of each input source.
In addition, both units feature an Internal Universal Power Supply and Durable Metal Case Enclosure. The IN3564HR / IN3566HR offers a flexible alternative for permanent installations, staging systems, rentals and other applications requiring a compact, durable high-performance video switcher.

Compatibility

IN3564HR / IN3566HR switcher features 15-pin HD female input and output connectors and can switch five discreet signal components for each input. The IN3564HR / IN3566HR is specifically designed to route several analog video signals including VGA, S-VGA, XGA, MAC, Sun and other high-resolution workstations.

INPUT

** The IN3564HR / IN3566HR* 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 signal formats include RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs and Monochrome high- resolution video.

*The IN3564HR / IN3566HR 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).

OUTPUT

The output signal of the IN3564HR / IN3566HR is analog RGB video with TTL sync on a 15- pin HD VGA female connector. This output signal is compatible with high-resolution data grade monitors and data / graphics projectors, making it ideal for use with LCD projectors and other data display devices which require that all VGA sync formats and polarities remain unchanged from the original source signal.

Installation

This section offers step-by-step instructions for connecting / installing the IN3564HR / IN3566HR Switcher. A detailed application drawing showing all equipment connections is included on page 4.

1. Units mounted in a 1U rack should be installed before making any connections. Multiple units must first be installed in an IN9080 Rack Shelf. Single units can be mounted in the rack shelf with an IN9088 Half-Rack Blank
2. Connect all VGA sources to the IN3564HR / IN3566HR input connectors.* Unused inputs do not need to be terminated.
3. Connect the display device to the output of the IN3564HR / IN3566HR.
4. Apply AC Power to the unit (the unit powers up automatically).
5. Select the appropriate switching mode. The mode switch on the back of the IN3564HR / IN3566HR is used to select between auto and manual. The LED on the front of the switcher indicates when the unit is in auto switch mode. By applying the optional IN3590 Remote Control, the user will override the mode switch.

• A 1 x 2 distribution amplifier (such as an IN3262D / IN3262DS ) may be required at one or more of the input devices in order to split off a signal for local monitors and / or amplify the signal to compensate for long cable runs. For applications that require cable runs in excess of 300’, users may wish to employ the IN1110 / IN1111 Video Transmitter / Receiver System to improve signal quality

IN3564HR / IN3566HR APPLICATION DIAGRAM

OPERATION

** The IN3564HR / IN3566HR Switcher features Auto Power On , so the unit powers up automatically when A/C power is applied. The IN3564HR and IN3566HR Switchers provide four and six front panel buttons (respectively) which, when in Manual Mode** , may be used to select the desired input channels. Input one is automatically selected at power up. In order to select a different input, press the corresponding input button and the appropriate LED will light to indicate the current active channel.

When the Autoswitch Mode is selected (switch is located on the back of the unit), the unit will automatically select the active input. If the switcher is connected to more than one input, the Autoswitch Mode will automatically select the highest input (Example: Input three will supercede inputs one and two, providing that the rest of the inputs are unterminated).
All non-selected channels are terminated to 75 ohms. The output signal may be blanked (no input selected) by pressing the Blank Button on the front of the unit. Input channels may also be selected remotely by using the optional IN3950 hardwired remote control.

Since these switchers are passive they are also bi-directional, meaning that signals may pass both ways through the unit. In such an installation, a single source signal is run through the output connector and multiple display devices are attached to the input receptacles. The source signal is routed to the attached display device whose input switch is selected.

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

The IN3564HR / IN3566HR Switcher has a Remote Port located on the back of the unit. Channels can be selected through the Remote Port by providing contact closures between the appropriate pins. The port also includes a +5V power supply and tally outputs. Several contact closure type control devices are available including:

• IN3590 – An optional hard-wired remote designed to work with all IN3500 Series switchers.
• IN6901 / IN6902 RS-232 to Contact Closure Converter – allows IN3500 Series switchers and other INLINE devices with contact closure control ports to be controlled by RS-232 sources such as control systems and computer serial
• Control Systems – many control systems are capable of providing contact

Control Parameters – In order to select a channel, the channel select pin (pins 1 – 6) must connected to Common (pin 7 or 8). The contact closures may be momentary or continuous ( Example : To switch to input channel 4, apply a contact closure between pin 4 and pin 7). If two channels are selected simultaneously, the output of the switcher is blanked (no output is selected). In order to maintain blanking, these two closures must be continuous.

Tally Output – The remote control port also provides Tally Outputs (pins 10-15) which may be used to trigger other devices, provide feedback to a control system or light indicator lights on a custom remote control panel. When a channel is selected, either from the front panel or through the remote control port, the Tally Output for that channel is switched on. The Tally Output can switch voltages of up to 50 volts and current up to 1.5 amps.

Control Port Pin Outs – The Remote Control port is a female 15-pin D connector with the following pin outs

Pin 1 – Select Channel 1| Pin 6 – Select Channel 6| Pin 11 – Tally Output for Channel 5
---|---|---
Pin 2 – Select Channel 2| Pin 7 – Common| Pin 12 – Tally Output for Channel 4
Pin 3 – Select Channel 3| Pin 8 – Common| Pin 13 – Tally Output for Channel 3
Pin 4 – Select Channel 4| Pin 9 – +5 Volts DC| Pin 14 – Tally Output for Channel 2
Pin 5 – Select Channel 5| Pin 10 – Tally Output for Channel 6| Pin 15 – Tally Output for Channel 1

IN3546R STEREO AUDIO SWITCHER

The IN3546R Stereo Audio Switcher may be attached to the IN3564HR / IN3566HR via the Remote Control Port. This provides a +5V power supply for the IN3546 Switcher and a control link. When the audio switcher is attached to the control port using an IN9112 / IN9133 Control / Power cable, the IN3546R will automatically switch to the appropriate input channel, mirroring the input selection on the attached IN3564HR / IN3566HR and adding audio-follow-video capability to the switcher.

Troubleshooting

The display device connected to the IN3564HR / IN3566HR output has a bad

/ scrambled image.

Solution 1: Verify that the correct input cable is being used.
Solution 2: The display device connected to the output of the interface may not be compatible with the computer output. Standard 640 x 480 VGA runs at 31.5 KHz, but SVGA can be as high as 48 – 58 KHz depending on the vertical refresh rate. Many workstations have new ultra high-resolution modes such as 1600 x 1200 and 1800 x 1440 and can output a video signal with a horizontal scan rate of over 100 KHz!
Many data monitors and data projectors are not compatible with these resolutions and frequencies.

The unit does not pass any signals.

Solution: The IN3564HR / IN3566HR contains two internal fuses. If power is applied to the unit and none of the front panel LEDs activate, these fuses may be blown. Open the case as described below and replace the blown fuses with new 200mA fuses.

1. Disconnect power to the switcher
2. Unscrew the two screws on each side of the unit
3. Gently slide off the top cover
4. Replace the bad fuse(s)
5. Replace the top cover and tighten the screws

When controlling the IN3564HR / IN3566HR Switcher through the REMOTE

CONTROL port, the image is blanked and no channel is being selected.

Solution: The control system may be closing two contacts at the same time. Check the wiring on the control cable and the control system programming.
