About the CIA111, CIA114, and CIA114F5

The Extron CIA111, CIA114, and CIA114F5 are wall box or floor box mountable computer video interfaces. The CIA111 mounts to a wall or podium using a two-gang junction box and has mounting spaces for up to four single-space Mini Architectural Adapter Plates (MAAPs). The CIA114 mounts in a one-gang junction box and the CIA114F5 is designed to fit the Steel City® 665 floor box.

All three models feature image shift and monitor emulation adjustments from the front panel. Sharpness and output sync can be adjusted using rear panel controls. Each interface accepts one computer video input (15-pin HD), one unbalanced stereo audio input, and a 15-pin HD buffered local monitor output. The interfaces can output audio as either balanced or unbalanced signals.

Features

Image shifting control — Shifts the displayed image to the left or right when you press a front panel rocker button.

Sharpness control — Provides image enhancement for high- resolution signals by increasing clarity and image detail, and compensates for signal loss during long cable runs.

One-button monitor emulation — Allows you to use the

interface without a monitor.

Audio buffering — The interface accepts unbalanced stereo computer audio and can output a balanced or unbalanced signal.

Auto power — The interface turns on automatically when it senses that an input cable is connected.

Power — The unit's 100 VAC to 240 VAC external power supply provides worldwide power compatibility.
