The IN3252HR is an ultrahigh resolution RGBHV video
distribution amplifier (DA) with gain and peaking controls. It
accepts RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, RsGsBs, component video,
S-video, as well as high resolution monochrome video and
composite video baseband signals, and distributes the signals to
two separately buffered outputs and one passive loop-through.
The DA is powered by an external power supply, which is
included with the unit.

Features
400 MHz (-3 dB) video bandwidth — Provides outstanding
video performance.
Wide compatibility — Compatible with RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB,
RsGsBs, component, S-video, as well as high resolution
monochrome video and composite video baseband
signals.
2 outputs — Distributes a video signal from a single input to
two outputs.
Local monitor loop-through — Provides a passive loop-
through signal for a local monitor or for cascading to
create a larger DA system.
Gain controls — Individual red, green, and blue gain controls
amplify the signals to compensate for long cable runs.
Peaking controls — Enhances the image by increasing fine
details and clarity.
IN3252HR • Introduction

IN3252HR
3.
Drill 3/32” (2 mm) diameter pilot holes, 1/4” (6.3 mm)
deep in the mounting surface at the marked screw
locations.
Installation
The IN3252HR can be placed on a desktop or shelf, or mounted
in a convenient location using optional mounting brackets
(IN9128).
4.
5.
Align the mounting holes in the brackets with the pilot
holes in the furniture.
1.
Turn all equipment off and ensure that the source device,
the DA, and the output devices have been disconnected
from the power source.
Firmly secure the IN3252HR to the furniture using #8
wood screws.
2.
Place or install the unit in the desired location.
Connections and Controls
3.
Connect the video signal source (input) device to the input
connector.

Gain controls — Rotate to adjust the amount of amplification
added to the individual red, green and blue video signals to
compensate for long cable runs. The adjustment range is 0.7

To insure the best picture quality, inputs are DC coupled as a
factory default.

Input termination jumpers (J2, J3, and J5)
Figure 6 — Board view of jumpers
In normal operation (factory default) the inputs are terminated
internally. To provide a passive loop-through signal for a local
monitor or extended DA system with 75 ohm input impedance,
jumpers J2, J3, and J5 must be changed from closed to open (see
figure 5 below).
Potentiometer Adjustments
With an oscilloscope
1.
Feed a grayscale signal from an Extron VTG 300/400 or
other A/V test generator to the input of the IN3252HR DA.

Adjust the peaking control by connecting the oscilloscope
back to the far end of the green output cable and adjusting
the peaking potentiometer until no overshooting or round
corners appear on the test pattern.
