Installation and Safety Instructions For Models without a Power Switch: The socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be accessible. For Models with 110 / 220V Power Selector: Caution: Before applying power to this unit, the voltage selector must be set to the appropriate setting to match local A/C line voltage. Improper setting of the voltage selector may cause damage to the unit and create a potential fire hazard.
Installations und Sicherheitshinweise Für Geräte ohne Netzschalter: Die Netzsteckdose soll in de Nähe des Gerätes installiert und frei zugänglich sein. Für Geräte mit 110 / 220V Spannungswähler: Achtung: Bevor Sie dem Gerät Spann ung zuführen, muß der Spannungswähler entsprechend der Spannung des lokalen Wechselspannungsnetzes eingestellt werden. Die falsche Stellung des Spannungswählers kann eine Beschädigung des Gerätes und möglicherweise ein Feuer verursachen.
CE COMPLIANCE All products exported to Europe by Inline, Inc. after January 1, 1997 have been tested and found to comply with EU Council Directive 89/336/EEC. These devices conform to the following standards: EN50081-1 (1991), EN55022 (1987) EN50082-1 (1992 and 1994), EN60950-92 Shielded interconnect cables must be employed with this equipment to ensure compliance with the pertinent Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standards governing this device.
1 DESCRIPTION The IN3212, IN3214 and IN3218 are high performance video distribution amplifiers with gain and peaking controls. • The IN3212 is a 1 in 2 out composite video distribution amplifier / line driver. • The IN3214 is a 1 in 4 out video distribution amplifier / line driver. • The IN3218 is a 1 in 8 out video distribution amplifier / line driver.
2 COMPATIBILITY The IN3212 / IN3214 / IN3218 offer extremely wide bandpass characteristics and are compatible with hi-resolution monochrome signals at virtually any resolution and refresh rate, as well as with low resolution color composite video signals such as NTSC, PAL, or SECAM. INSTALLATION 1. If operating the IN3214 / IN3218 in unified mode without loop output (factory default,) begin with step 2.
3 LOOP OUTPUT CONNECTOR The loop output connector provides a passive loop-through signal. This can be looped through to additional amplifiers to create a larger DA system or to drive a local monitor. In order to use the loop output, the Input termination jumper (internal) must be set to High Z (unterminated). The location of the input termination jumper is indicated on pages 4-6. GAIN AND PEAKING CONTROLS The gain controls can be used to compensate for video signal voltage losses.

8 TROUBLESHOOTING Problem: Suggestions: There is no image on the output of the IN3212 / IN3214 / IN3218. q q Problem: Suggestion: The output image is too dark. q Problem: Suggestions: q First make sure the display device contrast and brightness controls are set properly. Then decrease the appropriate IN3212 / IN3214 / IN3218 output gain control until the desired image is achieved. The input termination may be set to High Z. Check the termination jumper settings (see pages 4-6.
