Inertia installation and Operation
The INERTIA Graphics Trans-Converter allows high resolution SUN, SGI, Power PC,
SuperVGA, Radius, Quadra,MAC series, SuperMAC andE-Machine computer-
video to be displayed on VGA and Super VGA devices by converting the signals to
either640x 480 or 800 x 600 resolution.
• BecausetheINERTIA has two buffered outputs, itcansimultaneouslydrive LCD
products and any VGA compatible video display, such as: light-valve projector,
computermonitor,VGA/MAC-onlylargescreendata projector,LCDpanel,and
evena VGA/MAC color printer.
• A front panel switch enables selection of either VGA 31.5 kHz (640 x 480) or
Super VGA 35 kHz (800 x 600). With VGA or SVGA selected, both of the
INERTIA’s outputs (RGBS on BNCs and VGA on 15-pin HD) are active, so two
simultaneousdisplays may be connected.
• Athird output(labeled MonitorOutput) isprovidedso thatthe computer’slocal
monitorcandisplaytheoriginalcomputer-videosignalandresolution.
Installation
1. Turnthecomputerandmonitor powerOFF.
2. Connectthecomputer/workstationvideooutputtotheINERTIA ComputerInput
connector(Item I, Page 2) using the supplied cable and adapter if necessary
(seeSupplied CablesandAdapters onPage3).
3. Connectthe CPU local monitorto the INERTIA MonitorOutput connector (ItemG,
Page2)usingthesuppliedmonitoradaptercable(seeSuppliedCablesand
Adapterson Page 3) as shown in the diagram below.
4. Connectthe presentation display(s)using either theRGBSoutput (Item L,Page
2) or the 15-pin HD output (Item N, Page 2) — or both.
5. ConnecttheINERTIA’s external power supply tothe rear panel Power connector
(ItemO, Page 2).
6. Turnon thecomputer andmonitor andselect thedesiredoutput signalusing the
outputformat switch (Item D, Page 2).

FREEZE switch button is pressed again.
B. Power LED– Indicates power is being received from the 115/230 volt
powersupply.
C. Input Format LEDs – FourLEDs indicate thefrequency/resolutionbeing
converted to VGA or Super VGA. Refer to Compatibility (Page 3) for key
tothe LEDformat.
D. Output Format Switch – This switch affects both outputs 1 and 2 and
causes the output resolution to change to either VGA (31.5 kHz, 640 x 480)
or Super VGA (35 kHz, 800 x 600). Output resolution indicated by LEDs.

J. H/V / SOG switch – Set the H/V / SOG switch to the H/V position for
computersignalswith separate horizontal and vertical or composite sync. In
some isolated cases, setting the switch to SOG is necessary for computers
with sync on green, such as SGI.
K. HI Z / 75ΩΩ

Ωswitch – This toggle switch is for input sync termination.
L. Output 1 BNC connectors – RGB and composite sync BNC connectors
M. H/V / S switch – Output 2 sync switch - The VGA (15-pin HD) output can be
configured for composite (S) or separate H & V sync (H/V). VGA
compatible displays require this switch to be set in the H/V position.
