Removing the RGB 202xi Cover
Jumpers are set at the factory to allow the RGB 202xi to
detect most video requirements automatically. However,
if it is necessary to change any of these jumpers you
must first remove cover.
1. Turn power off by disconnecting the power cable.
2. Disconnect any other cables that may be in the way.
3. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the four (4)
screws inside each rubber foot. Put these aside.
4. Turn the case upright. The top half of the case is the
cover. Pull upward on the cover to remove it.
5. Use the picture on the facing page locate the jumper
that needs to be changed.
Configuration Jumpers
The general illustration here shows an example of a 3-pin
jumper. These are sometimes called Bergs. There are
three possible combinations for a 3-pin jumper:
Pins 1 and 2 Press the jumper onto pins 1 and 2.
Pins 2 and 3 put the open end of the jumper over pins 2
and 3 and press on.
No connections (Open) This can be done any way, as
long as no pins are connected. Three different Open
connections are shown here. Connecting one side of
the jumper and leaving the other contact off the end, or
off the side, is a common way to do this. This way, the
jumper is available if it is needed in the future.

About this manual
This manual was written to explain the features,
installation and operation of Extrons RGB 202xi series of
interfaces. Although the name RGB 202xi is used
throughout the manual, it refers to four different interface
models. Chapter 4 covers the differences between the
standard model RGB 202xi and those models with
special features.
Introduction to RGB Interfaces
As you may know by now, an RGB interface provides the
means for getting a computer video output to display on a
large screen. The interface must take the video signals
from the computer and transform them for use by a
projector or data monitor.
In addition to this, the RGB 202xi has many other
enhancement features. This users manual provides the
technical information required to install and operate the
RGB 202xi Universal Interface. Some places in this
manual it is simply referred to as the interface.
Interface Considerations
As illustrated above, the interface operates between a
computer (or computers) and a video projector.
Computers differ both in the type of video signals as well
as the physical connectors they use.
Adapters For this reason, a universal interface requires an
adapter to match the physical and electrical connections
of the computer and the interface.
Local Monitor Another thing that must be considered is
whether the computer's monitor (local monitor) will be
used in the application. This is more convenient for the
computer operator, or presenter because it may be
difficult to see the big screen while operating the
computer. If the local monitor is to be used, a Monitor
Breakout Cable (MBC) is required. An MBC adapts the
computer to the local monitor, as well as the interface.

Troubleshooting Reference Information
Page B-3
Due to the number of different types of Data Projectors
and Data Monitors currently on the market, each with
different characteristics, no specific data display device
was used to generate this troubleshooting information. If
you have a concern or would like to know any special or
unusual characteristic of your particular display, please
call Extron.
Problem
No image on Data
Display (projector
or monitor).
Probable Cause
1. Power Connections
not being made.
2. Data Display not set
for Analog signal.
3. Cables not con-
nected.
4. Horizontal or Vertical
phase is shifted too far
in one direction.
5. Level Control turned
down too low on
interface.
6. Sync on Green
output from interface.
7. Input select switch
on interface is not set
correctly.
8. Contrast too low on
data display.
Solution
1. Check to make sure power is
being supplied to the computer,
monitor, interface and Data
Display (and MBC cable if
required).
2. Check to confirm that Data
Display input settings are for
Analog.
3. Check and secure all cable
connections.
4. Turn DIP switch #1 ON to check
centering reference.
5. Adjust Level Control to the
middle position.
6. Set Data Display for an input of
Sync on Green, or turn Dip switch
#2 on to defeat Sync on Green
and #3 ON to use Auto Sync.
7. Make sure that the RGB 202xi
Input Select Switch is in the
correct position (Input #1 for
Analog/TTL, Input #2 for Analog/
ECL signals).
8. Increase contrast adjustment on
monitor or projector.
_ Some monitors and projectors do require specialized
settings with the interface. Therefore, if you experience
any trouble, call Extron Tech Support at 714-491-1500.

Features Defined
Auto Power In normal operation, the RGB 202xi is green
or in power saver mode because it turns on only when it
is needed. If it senses computer sync on its selected
input, the RGB 202xi turns ON. Also, when the selected
input senses no sync from that computer, it turns itself
OFF. The LED lights when the RGB 202xi power is on.
Level and Boost This control is similar to a contrast
adjustment on a data monitor, which is used to adjust the
brightness and contrast of the displayed image. This
feature is also used to boost the output signal to a
maximum of 1.45 volts peak to peak to compensate for
losses of signal level or picture contrast due to cable
length. Output cable lengths of up to 1000 feet can be
used by adjusting this feature properly. The result is also
dependent on signal frequency.
Peaking (Sharpness) Control This control is similar to the
sharpness control on a data monitor. Computer signals
will have a sharper image when adjusting the peaking,
regardless of the cable length. The peaking adjustment
compensates for mid and high frequency RGB Video
Bandwidth response in data monitors and projectors and
for signal loss due to cable capacitance.
Vertical Picture Centering (with Memory) This
adjustment shifts the displayed image vertically on the
monitor or projector screen and remembers the settings
for both Input #1 and Input #2 separately.
Horizontal Picture Centering (with Memory) This
adjustment is used to position the displayed image from
side to side on the screen. It also remembers the settings
for both Input #1 and Input #2 separately.
Scan Rate Readout This LCD readout alternately displays
both the horizontal and vertical scan frequencies of the
selected computer signal.
Internal Power Supply A 90-270 Volt, 50/60Hz internal
power supply is a standard feature of the RGB 202xi. No
setup is required for 50/60Hz power sources.
Blue Enhance (TTL) Allows for mixing just the right
amount of blue video with the green video for displaying
blue text in a more readable blue-green color. This color
mixing affects only the displayed blue colors for TTL
Computer-video signals.
