Universal VGA interface
TWIN INTERFACE
Wide compatibility
The TWIN INTERFACE makes it capable of handling all
types of PC graphics standards ranging from VGA up to
at least U-XGA resolution (1600 x 1200) coming from PC
or Mac and connect them to a projector or professional
monitor.
• Very high bandwidth of 300 MHz (at -3dB)
• Compatibility from VGA (640 x 480) up to QXGA
resolution (2,048 x 1,532)
• Auto-ranging Power Supply (87 to 240 V AC, 50/60Hz)
Easy-to-use intelligent interface
Most of the adjustments of the interface are aligned
automatically or selected very easily.
• Automatic Sync Input and Output detection (LED
indication for sync signal)
• ID bit selector allowing emulation of a typical IBM or
Mac monitor
• Automatic termination to 75 Ohm of RGB signals
from the computer and TTL/Sync signals with a 22K
pull-up resistor
Easy to install
The accompanying mounting bracket facilitates
installation in any enclosure, underneath tables and
against walls.
Barco’s TWIN INTERFACE is an easy-
to-use very high RGB bandwidth
interface to connect any desktop
or portable computer (including
IBM-compatible and Apple
computers) to a presentation
device such as a projector or a
professional data monitor.

R, G, B: 0.7 Vpp (no sync) or 1 Vpp
with sync @ 75 Ohm
• Sync: TTL @ 22 K load
Outputs
• RGB Analog on 5 BNC connectors
(to projector or monitor):
R, G, B: 0.7 vpp (no sync) or 1 Vpp @
75 Ohm
H, V or Csync: 1.54 Vtt
• RGB Analog loop through on
D15 connector (local monitor out):
R, G, B: 0.7 vpp (no sync) or 1 Vpp
with sync @ 75 Ohm
• Gain fixed to 1
• Two LEDs indicate signal presence
on the BNC sync outputs (H & V)
RGB Bandwidth
300 MHz@-3dB
Compatibility
• All desktop or portable computers
with resolutions from VGA up to
QXGA (2,048 x 1,532 pixels)
• All Macintosh computers with D15
output (an adapter will be needed
for older Macintosh computers with
DB15 output).
Special Features
• No user settings required: fully
automatic sync input and output
detection. Three LEDs indicate the
detected sync signals (H, V, Csync).

Termination for most common
display modes. This ensures proper
functioning of graphics card even
when no monitor is connected.
