Introduction
The Extron CVC 300 Component Video Converter converts all standard component video formats: NTSC/PAL, DVD, and Betacam®, to RGBHV or RGBS; and converts SMPTE HDTV component video to RGBHV. The CVC 300 can also strip sync-on-green (SOG) from RGsB video. The converter outputs RGBHV or RGBS video on BNC connectors. The figure below shows a typical CVC 300 application.

The component video input formats include SMPTE, HDTV and Betacam component video. The RGsB video input can be computer video or NTSC/PAL video.
Mounting
The 1U high, quarter rack width, CVC 300 converter can be mounted to a rack, under a desk or tabletop, or on a projector bracket. It can be rack mounted using one-quarter of a 1U Universal Rack Shelf, RSU 129 (part #60-190-01) or 1U Basic Rack Shelf, RSB 129 (part #60-604-01).
UL rack mounting guidelines
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines pertain to the installation of the CVC 300 into a rack.
1.Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the equipment is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the converter in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma = +104 °F, +40 °C) specified by Extron.

2.Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
3.Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4.Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit
overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
5.Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
Mounting instructions
Rack mount the CVC 300 as follows:
1.Remove the feet from the CVC, if they were previously installed.
2.Mount the CVC 300 on the rack shelf, using two
4-40 x 3/16" screws in opposite corners (under the shelf) to secure the converter to the shelf (see below).
