About This Manual
This manual contains connection, operation and application information for the RGB 118 and RGB 118 PLUS universal interfaces.
RGB 118 & RGB 118 PLUS Facts and Features
The Extron RGB 118 and RGB 118 PLUS are Universal Computer-Video Interfaces compatible with computer monitor video signals such as CGA, EGA, VGA, MCGA, IBM PS/2, MAC II, Super VGA and more. Providing an RGB bandwidth range of 150 MHz (rise and fall time of 4 nS) and a horizontal frequency range of 15-100 kHz, the RGB 118 and RGB 118 PLUS allow any compatible computer to be connected via simple MBC or ICWK input cable change.
Features
·Universal compatibility
·120 MHz RGB video bandwidth (-3db)
·LED power indicator
·Horizontal centering with ON/OFF switch
·Three position peaking/sharpness and gain control switch settings
·Variable gain controls (R,G,B)
·Serration pulse removal switch
·Sync on green switch for output
·Automatic sync stripping from RGB
·Blue enhancement (TTL only)
·MBC power output jack
·External control knobs
·Metal enclosure
·MBC interface cable required
·Simple installation and operation
*LCD scan-rate display of horizontal and vertical frequencies
*SRI – holding the RGB 118 PLUS up to the face of a computer’s monitor will display the horizontal and vertical scan-rates on the LCD readout without any attached input cables.
*Vertical centering with ON/OFF switch
* The bottom three features apply only to the RGB 118 PLUS
