Installation Overview

To install and set up an RGB 400 Series interface, follow these basic steps:

Determine the installation location.

Prepare the site for installation. Use the supplied

template to mark the rough-in cutout, then cut out the wallboard or wood.

Set the DIP (dual in-line package) switches and

jumpers. These items will be inaccessible after installation.

For the RGB 408, attach optional adapter plates, and

attach output cables to the back sides of the adapter plates.

For all models, connect the wires and cables for

power, audio output and pass-through signals.

These items will be inaccessible after installation.

For all models, set the front panel High Z/75 Ohm

video termination toggle switch.

Temporarily connect the input cables. Connect any

cables whose signals will be routed through the optional adaptor pass-through plates.

Connect power cables to the input and output

devices. Turn on the input and output devices.

Installation and Operation Instructions

Determining installation location

Take cabling and power availability and the location of wall studs into consideration when selecting an installation site. You may need to install the cables in the wall, furniture or conduits before installing the interface. Choose a location that will allow cable runs without interference, preferably next to a 2” x 4” wall stud.

The RGB 400 Series interfaces each consist of a front panel with an attached circuit board. They are typically installed in standard 2-, 3- or 4-gang, 2.5-inch deep electrical wall boxes. A metal wall box (provided by Extron) is preferred, but a plastic box (or no wall box at all) can be used as long as it conforms to local code restrictions and the interface’s size requirements. If a wall box is used, it must be attached to wall studs within the wall.

The drawing below illustrates the typical depth required to accommodate the maximum bend of high resolution (SHR) coaxial and miniature coaxial cables inside a wall box.

2-2

RGB 400 Series Installation and Operation

The image should now display on screen. If it does

not display, or if the picture displays incorrectly, double check and make adjustments to cables, DIP switches and jumpers as needed. Refer to the “Pre-installation testing/troubleshooting” section in this chapter.

Temporarily disconnect the input cables from the

front panel of the interface, and disconnect the power from the interface.

Mount the interface in the wall or furniture.

Reconnect the computer video and audio input

cables to the interface, apply power, and readjust horizontal centering as needed via the front panel control.

Minimum installation depth needed for maximum coaxial cable bend

Cut-out (rough-in) templates and dimensional drawings are provided in the appendices of this manual.

RGB 400 Series Installation and Operation

2-3

Installation and Operation, cont’d

Preparing the installation site and installing the wall box

Actual-size rough-in templates for each model are provided in Appendix B. If needed, make a 100% size photocopy of the appropriate template to use for installation. Compare the photocopy with the faceplate and wall box to make sure the photocopy size is the same as the equipment.

Use the template as a guide to mark and cut the hole in the wall or furniture through which the interface will be installed. The innermost line represents the opening where material will be removed and the wall box will be installed.

1. Cut out the center portion (up to the guidelines) of the cut-out (rough-in) template.

2. Place the template on the surface where the interface will be installed. Use a soft pencil to mark the guidelines for the opening on the wall/furniture.

3. Cut out the material from the cut-out area with a jigsaw or small hand saw.

4. Check the opening size by inserting the wall box (if used) or the interface (if no wall box is used) into the opening. The wall box will be mounted flush with the outer wall or furniture surface. The box and/or interface should fit easily into the opening.

5. If needed, use a saw, file or sandpaper to enlarge the hole. Smooth the edges of the opening to avoid damage or injury to yourself or the cables during installation.

6. Attach the wall box to the wall stud (2 x 4) with nails or screws, leaving the front edge flush with the wall surface, as shown in the following illustration.

Wall Stud

Wall Box

Flush with

Screws or Nails

Wall Surface

Attaching the wall box to wall studs

To attach the wall box to wood, use four #8 to # 10 wood or sheet metal screws. A minimum of 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) of screw threads must penetrate the wood. If the wood is a 2 x 4, such as a wall stud, 10-penny or larger nails can be used.

To attach the electrical wall box to metal, use four #8 or #10 sheet metal screws (self-tapping) or #8 or #10 machine bolts with matching nuts.

7. Output cables will usually be out of sight inside a wall, for example. Feed the cables through the wall box “punch-out” holes for connection to the interface. Cable clamps should be used to hold the cables in place for strain relief.

8. Exposed cable shields (braids or foil) are potential sources of short circuits. Trim back and/or insulate shields with heat shrink. Details for typical maximum coaxial cable bend inside a wall box are given on page 2-3.

9. Configure, cable and test the interface before securing the interface to the wall box. Configuration consists of setting circuit board DIP switches and jumpers based on installation requirements. See page 2-14 for more information.

Setting DIP switches and jumpers

DIP switches and jumpers must be set and tested before the interface is secured into the wall box, wall or furniture.

DIP switches

DIP switch module SW1 contains two DIP switches (SW1-1 and SW1-2). The module is located on the circuit board on

the back of the interface, as shown on pages 2-6,

SW1

2-7, 2-9, 2-11 and 2-13. In these illustrations, the

On position is to the left.

Different video projectors may have slightly different sync requirements. Use the DIP switches on the interface to make the interface’s output compatible with the projector.

DIP switch 1 (SW1-1) controls serration pulse output.

ON = No serration pulses will be output in the

composite sync signal.

OFF = Serration pulses will be output.

DIP switch 2 (SW1-2) controls sync processing.

ON = Digital Display Sync Processing (DDSP) will be

used. This may be required in order to obtain a stable picture on some digital display devices. When DDSP is on, horizontal shift (centering) is disabled.

OFF = DDSP will not be used.

Jumpers

Video signals passing through long cable runs (over 125 feet) or through poor quality cables can decrease in strength, creating signal loss. The longer the cable, the higher the video level and the greater the peaking that will be needed to compensate for the loss.

The gain/peaking adjustment jumpers are located on the circuit board on the back of the interface, as shown in the rear features sections of this manual. To configure the jumpers, use pliers to pull the jumper shunt off the pins, then place the jumper on the appropriate pins.

Make sure the interface is disconnected from the power source before configuring jumpers.

Changing jumper settings

Each red (J8), green (J9) and blue (J10) jumper can be set to one of three positions to provide unity gain (0.7 volts p-p),

0.8 volts p-p, or 0.9 volts p-p output. Select the setting that

yields the best image display. Use the diagram on the product label (shown below) as a guide to setting the output gain/peaking for each color.

frequency video signals.

Attaching adapter plates (RGB 408)

The RGB 408 can have up to 4 optional adapter plates. The adapter plates allow for a variety of types of pass-through audio and/or video connectors to be added to the interface’s front panel faceplate.

Blank plates (two single-height and one double-height plate) are included with the RGB 408 to cover unused spaces. Other adapter plates must be ordered separately. They also must be attached to the faceplate and cabled before the interface is installed in the wall or furniture. The screws needed for installing the adapter plates are built into the plates, so no additional screws will be needed.

1. Remove the blank plates from the interface by unscrewing the nuts that fasten the plates to the faceplate.

2. Insert the adapter plate screws through the holes in the faceplate. Attach the adapter plates to the faceplate with the provided captive washers and #4-40 nuts. See the illustration “Installing optional adapter plates” on the next page.

3. Attach the output cables to the connectors on the back side of the adapter plates. Several adapter plates require conductors to be soldered to the connectors. Attach foil and braided shields to ground connections.

The RGB 402 and RGB 404 provide pass-through connectors for composite video, S-video, RJ-45 network and, for the RGB 402 only, two-channel stereo audio. These connectors are mounted on the faceplate. The RJ-45 cable can be plugged in from the back. Coaxial cables and/or twisted pair wires must be soldered to the back side of the S-video and RCA connectors, as described in this section.

Optional adapter plates with various types and combinations of pass-through audio and video connectors are available for the RGB 408. Many adapter plates also require cables and wires to be soldered to the rear connectors.

For audio, solder the signal wire of a shielded twisted-pair cable to the central solder cup of the RCA connector. Solder the ground wire to the grounded tab, as shown above at right.

Connecting shields

Multiconductor cables such as Extron’s Install Plenum bulk cable contain several braided and foil shields. At the interface end of the cable, the outer braided and foil shields should be connected to the grounded metal wall box (or to a grounding wire if a metal wall box is not used). The wires that make up the braided shield can be unbraided, then twisted together to form a large, multistrand wire that can be folded back under the wall box cable clamp or attached to the metal wall box with a screw. See the illustration below.

To prevent short circuits, the outer foil shield can be cut back to the point where the cable exits the cable clamp. Both the braided and foil shields should be connected to an equipment ground at the other end of the cable.

If shielded twisted-pair wires are used for audio output for the RGB 404, RGB 406 or RGB 408, the shields should be connected to either pin 3 (RGB 406/408) or pins 3 and 8 (RGB 404) of the audio output captive screw connector. Twist the wires from the braided shield together to form a multi-strand wire, then insert it into the receptacle side of the captive screw connector. See the “Wiring audio output captive screw connectors” illustration on the next page.

Twisted-pair shields are not used for most other RGB 400 Series applications, even when twisted-pair wires are used. For those other applications, twist the shields together, and fold them back under the wall box cable clamp or attach them to the grounded wall box with a screw.

To prevent short circuits, unused shielded twisted-pair wires and exposed cable shields (braided or foil) must be insulated with electrical tape or heat shrink, and secured.

Connect coaxial cables’ shields to a ground through the individual connectors (BNC, S-video or RCA).

Connecting audio cables — RGB 404

The RGB 404 creates two 2-channel, balanced audio outputs from two unbalanced inputs.

Wiring RGB 404 audio connectors

To wire the audio output captive screw connector, follow these steps:

1. Prepare the wires for insertion into the connector by trimming off 3/16 inch of insulation.

2. Following the wiring diagram found on the label on the back of the faceplate or in this manual, insert the wires one at a time into the connector.

3. Tighten the wire clamp in the connector by turning the appropriate screw clockwise. Do not overtighten the screw. Avoid touching circuit board components with the ends of the wires. See the illustration below.

Connecting audio cables — RGB 406, RGB 408

Each RGB 406 or RGB 408 accepts an unbalanced audio input from a front panel 3.5 mm PC-type stereo connector, and it outputs two channels of balanced audio on a 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector on the rear of the circuit

12345

board. Follow the steps listed for the RGB 404 for inserting wires into captive screw connectors. Use the label on the rear of the faceplate (excerpted here) as a wiring guide.

Connecting input cables and video output cables

With appropriate cables, connect the computer and, for all models except the RGB 400, audio device(s) to the interface via the front panel input connectors. Connect all the devices for pass-through input (network, composite video, S-video and/or other inputs) via front panel or front adapter plate connectors.

Determine what computer-video format the display device requires: separate horizontal and vertical sync (RGBHV), composite sync (RGBS), or sync on green (RGsB or SOG). No matter what format the computer outputs to the interface, the output from the interface to the display device can be RGBHV or RGBS. If the video format input to the interface is RGsB (SOG), RGsB can be output to the display device; otherwise only RGBHV and RGBS are available as output options.

Connect the display device to the interface using coaxial cables. Attach the cable’s BNC connectors to the appropriate rear panel BNC connectors on the interface based on the video format required by the display device.

Attaching power cables

Each RGB 400 Series interface requires an external voltage source of 12 to 24 volts AC or DC (250 mA maximum, 5 W). The interfaces are supplied with a power cord of twistedpair wire soldered to the circuit board.

1. Splice these wires to the cord of a user-supplied power source. Polarity is not important, even if the power source supplies DC voltage. Extron offers an optional external power supply. See Appendix D for the part number.

2. Solder and insulate the connections.

Using installation cable

Extron’s Install Plenum bulk cable (shown here) is ideal for mountable interfaces such as the RGB 400 Series models.

Below is an example of how the cable can be used.

Using installation cable with an RGB 402

Pre-installation testing/troubleshooting

Before installing the interface into the wall or furniture, test the system to make sure that the connections and interface settings are correct.

Turn on the input device(s) (computer, audio device) and output device(s) (projector and/or monitor, speakers). The image should now appear on the screen, and, for all models except the RGB 400, sound should be audible.

If the image does not appear or there is no sound

1. Ensure that all devices are plugged in.

2. Make sure that each device is receiving power. The interface’s Auto power indicator LED will light if the interface is receiving power and an active sync signal.

3. Check the cabling and the audio connector wiring, and make adjustments as needed.

4. Verify that the High Z/75 Ohm video input termination toggle switch on the front panel has been set correctly.

5. For digital display devices (including LCD, DLP and plasma devices), try turning DDSP on or off using the rear panel SW1-2 DIP switch.

6. Call Extron’s customer support hotline if needed.

If the image does not display correctly

1. If the output image looks too green, the computer may be sending video with sync on green (SOG), and the display device may not be configured to handle SOG signals. The RGB 400 Series interfaces do not strip sync from the video input signals.

2. If the picture bends or flags at the top of the screen, set the serration pulse DIP switch (SW1-1) to Off.

3. For a display device that experiences intermittent glitches, try turning DDSP on or off using the rear panel SW1-2 DIP switch.

4. If the picture “hangs off” the edges of the screen, adjust the H. Shift horizontal centering control.

5. If the edges of the image seem to exceed their boundaries or if thin lines and sharp edges look thick and fuzzy, try changing the gain/peaking jumper (J10, J9, J8) settings. If the image is too bright, decrease the gain/peaking level.

6. If the image appears and is stable, but it has ghosting or blooming, check the High Z/75 Ohm video input termination. If changing the termination doesn’t solve the problem, try using a different input cable.

7. If the image still does not display correctly, call Extron’s customer support hotline.

the situation, either the pass-through connector or any cable that was part of the installation but not used for this test may be the source of the problem. If this test does not produce an image or sound, the problem may lie with an input device or an output device.

Mounting the interface to the wall box

Once the system has been cabled and tested, the interface can be installed in the wall or furniture.

1. Remove power from the interface and input and output devices by disconnecting the power cords from the power supply.

2. Detach the input cables from the front panel.

3. For the RGB 408 only, install the EMI strips. To maintain proper grounding connections between

the interface faceplate and the wall box, adequate contact between the faceplate and wall box must be ensured. Installing the supplied EMI (electromagnetic interference) strips will ensure the proper contact and maintain the ground. To install the strips, do the following:

a. Peel off the protective, papery coating from the

back of an EMI strip.

b. Apply the EMI strip to the center of the upper lip

of the 4-gang wall box, pressing firmly to ensure contact. See the illustration below.

c. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to install the other EMI con-

ductive strip onto the lower lip of the wall box.

2-22

If no image or sound results from pass-through connections

1. Make sure each input device is connected to the correct pass-through connector, which in turn is connected to the appropriate output device.

2. Ensure that each connector is properly wired and grounded, and that each device is powered on.

3. If there still is no image or sound, try cabling the input device directly to the output device. If that resolves
