DESCRIPTION
The IN3213 / IN3262 are dedicated video distribution amplifiers designed to work with specific computer
graphic signals. Since the units have two buffered outputs, they permit the signal from one computer
graphics card to be split out to two display devices. The IN3213 / IN3262 are frequently used to amplify
and split the computer’s video signal so it may be viewed on the local monitor and a second data display
device such as an LCD panel, data projector or presentation monitor. These units do not alter the video or
sync signals, but merely amplify the signals to a level needed to extend the external display(s) as far as 100
feet away. The IN3213 / IN3262 distribution amplifiers are fully automatic, offering easy operation and
the following features:
♦Two Buffered Outputs for Maximum Performance and Flexibility - Input and Output Cables May Be
Extended as Needed Using High Resolution Coaxial Cables (IN8000 Series / IN8400 Series)
♦High Resolution Coaxial Input Cable with Molded Connector
♦Units Maintain Sync Polarities - Ideal for Use with LCD Panels and LCD Projectors
♦400 MHz bandwidth for superb performance with video signals at any resolution and refresh rate
INPUT COMPATIBILITY
The IN3213 / IN3262 distribution amplifiers operate with specific video signals as detailed below:
IN3262 - operates with analog video input from a wide variety of IBM and compatible computer video
signal formats including VGA, SVGA, XGA, and 8514A. Input signals to the IN3262 must be in the
RGBHV format and provided on a 15 pin HD connector. All sense pins are passed from the input
connector to Output #1 to ensure proper sensing of a local monitor.
IN3213 - operates with analog video signals from high resolution workstations such as the Sun SPARC
family, most SGI workstations and many other workstations with a 13W3 video connector. The IN3213 is
compatible with signals in the RGBS or RGsB formats. All sense pins are passed from the input connector
to Output #1 to enable communication between the computer video port and the attached local monitor if
present.
OUTPUT COMPATIBILITY
The IN3213 / IN3262 offer two buffered video output signals in the same format and using the same
connector as the original input signal. This is ideal for use with devices such as LCD panels, LCD
projectors and proprietary data monitors which often must see a certain type of connector and sync format
in order to recognize and lock up to various frequencies. Since both outputs of the IN3213 / IN3262 are
buffered, the data display(s) may be located 100’ or more away from the source computer by using high
resolution coaxial extension cables. The maximum distance signals may be sent depends on the horizontal
scan rate of the signal and the bandwidth capability of the cables.
VGA, SVGA, XGA, SUN, SGI and other workstation video cards operate in several
different modes encompassing a wide range of resolutions and horizontal scan rates
and vertical refresh rates. The IN3213 / IN3262 are not scan converters and the
LCD panel/projector or data monitor must be compatible with the horizontal scan
rate put out by the computer video card. Please check the documentation for both the
computer video card and the data projection device in order to ensure compatibility.

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. Connect the IN3213 / IN3262 input cable to the computer’s video output port.
IN3213 - On Sun, SGI and many other high resolution workstations the
video output port is a 13W3 connector which looks like this:
IN3262 - On PC compatibles computers with VGA, SVGA or XGA output,
the video output port is a 15-Pin HD connector which looks like this:
3. Connect the local computer monitor (if present) to Output #1 on the IN3213 / IN3262 distribution
amplifier. If no local monitor is connected to Output #1, a termination plug may be required as detailed
below:
IN3213 Used with Sun - The default mode is 61KHz if no local monitor is connected. If you wish
to emulate a different mode, connect the appropriate Sun monitor to Output #1 or manually set the
computer to a different resolution.
IN3213 Used with SGI - An SGI local monitor must be connected to Output #1 for proper
operation.
IN3262 Use an IN9031 15-pin HD VGA terminator plug. This emulates a color VGA monitor.
4. Connect a second compatible data display to Output #2 using the appropriate high resolution coaxial
extension cable as listed below:
IN3213 IN8412 - 13W3 Extension Cable, 12’long
IN8425 - 13W3 Extension Cable, 25’long
The following cable combinations are suggested to maintain video bandwidth on
the longest cable runs:
Cable run of 50’to 75’: IN9072 to IN9070 to IN7150-4 to IN9070 to IN9073
Cable run of 100’or more: IN9072 to IN9070 to IN7200-4 Series Ultra High
Resolution Cable (available in lengths up to 250’) to IN9070 to IN9073
IN3262 IN8000 Series VGA Extension Cables, available in lengths from 3’to 100’.
5. Connect the round connector on the IN9204 9VDC, 500mA power supply to the POWER input jack
(located on the end panel of the distribution amp, on the same end as the monitor loop cable.) Connect
the power adapter box side of the power supply to the A/C power source.
6. Complete the installation by turning the computer and computer monitor on.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The display device connected to the IN3213 / IN3262 output has a bad/scrambled image.
Solution 1: The display device connected to the output of the distribution amplifier may not be compatible
with the computer output. Many LCD panels and data monitors will not display signals at
resolutions higher than 640 x 480 or 800 x 600 or horizontal scan rates above 36 KHz or
48KHz. Make sure you know what resolution mode the computer video card is set to output.
While basic 640 x 480 VGA at 60 Hz refresh rate runs at 31.5 KHz, SVGA modes can be as
high as 48 - 58 KHz with the highest resolution settings such as 1600 x 1200 running at 80
KHz or higher depending on the refresh rate setting. Sun and SGI computers usually operate at
61KHz, 64KHz, or 71KHz at resolutions as high as 1280 x 1024.
Solution 2: The output cable may have a bad sync line. Try another cable.
The output image is missing a color.
Solution: The output cable may be bad. Check both ends of the cable to see if any of the pins are bent or
missing. Also inspect the cable to see if the coax may have been pinched or severed internally.
Try another cable.
When using the IN3262, the computer output is black and white when it should be color.
Solution: There needs to be a termination on the loop-through output. Use a local monitor or the IN9031
termination plug.
The output image of the IN3213 / IN3262 is visible but has poor quality / low definition.
Solution: The output cable may be too long or of poor quality. INLINE offers several high resolution
mini-coax cables for analog signals and a series of shielded twisted pair cables designed
specifically for digital video signal transmission. See page 2 for specific recommendations.
The unit doesn’t output any signal and the power light is not turning on.
Solution: The power adapter may have failed. The power adapter should feel warm to the touch after it
has been plugged in for a few minutes. If the adapter feels cool it may have failed. Try
another IN9204 9VDC; 500 mA power adapter.
