INTERFACES designated Altinex adapter cables, such as VGA, MAC, SUN, SGI, or RGB. The VA6835FC has two key functions. It’s first function is to amplify or buffer the signal to insure that it is strong enough to travel distances of 100 ft or farther through a coaxial cable. The second function is to process the sync and to convert it to a format that is acceptable to several displays. PIN No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 4.
INTERFACES CONNECTOR Red Green Blue Sync Hor. Vertical the power input connector displays the proper voltage. To change the setting, unplug the VA6835FC, and squeeze the clips on either side of the fuse box. Pull out the fuse holder and turn it 180 degrees, resetting it with the proper voltage shown through the window. Re-insert the fuse box making sure that the side clips of the fuse box lock securely into place.
INTERFACES APPLICATION DIAGRAM 5 INSTALLING YOUR INTERFACE 6 Step 5. Connect one end of a BNC cable to output one or two of the VA6835FC units. Connect the other end to the RGB input on the projector or monitor. Usually either a 4 BNC or 5 BNC coaxial cable is used, depending on whether display devices require composite sync or horizontal and vertical sync signals. Step 1.
INTERFACES OPERATION This is used primarily when interfacing to laptop computers to imitate the presence of a local monitor. Typically, this recognition will take place during the boot up stage of a computer. If your computer does not output video, place the ID Bit switch in the ON position and reboot the computer. When in the OFF position, the ID Bit will be passed through the local monitor output port. 7 According to Table 4, the settings of the VA6835FC Interface can be adjusted using dipswitches.

These cables are also available in 6 ft. and 12 ft. lengths. Please call 1-714-990-2300 for a wider selection of cables.
INTERFACES TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 1. When the correct voltage is applied to the Interface, the power LED should be ON. 2. The “Termination” dip-switch should be in the ON position if a Y cable (breakout) is not used on the input. 3. Make sure the cables have the correct pinouts and the connection and quality of the cables are good. 4. Make sure that the source and display are scan-rate compatible. The projector should support an appropriate signal format (RGsB, RGBS or RGBHV).
