Extron’s RGB 508 AKM and RGB 558 AKM with audio and
ADSP™ are two universal, computer-video interfaces designed
for use with the Ackermann floor tank system. The RGB 508
AKM or RGB 558 AKM fits flush within the included
Ackermann GES9B mounting box for convenient and easy
installation with RGB output connections on 6" cable extensions.
The RGB 508 AKM and RGB 558 AKM feature a 15-130 kHz
horizontal scanning range with 300 MHz (-3dB) video bandwidth, a choice of 9-pin D or 15-pin HD input connectors,
Extron’s exclusive Advanced Digital Sync Processing (ADSP™),
active audio interfacing, and openings for optional Architectural
Adapter Plates (AAPs). These interfaces are compatible with
VGA, SVGA, XGA, XGA-2, Mac, Sun, SGI, and other signals.
The RGB 508 AKM’s universal 9-pin D connector is compatible
with any computer using one of Extron’s high-quality laptop
breakout cables, monitor breakout cables, MBC buffers, and
internal computer wiring kits. The RGB 558 AKM offers a
15-pin HD input connector for easy connection to VGA-style
computers, with Mac/Quadra and Sun/SGI adapter cable kits
available, and a buffered local monitor output. ADSP™ provides
all-digital sync processing so that stable images are produced
on digital display devices (DLP, LCD, and plasma). Audio
interfacing converts computer-generated, unbalanced audio to
line-level balanced audio. The RGB 508 and RGB 558 provide
openings for two single-space AAPs as additional signal
pass-through connections.
■ Horizontal centering– Shifts displayed image horizontally.
■ Level and peaking– Level and peaking compensate for
signal losses over long cable runs. Level control adjusts the
brightness level of the displayed image, and peaking control
adjusts the sharpness level of the displayed image.
■ ID bit termination– Available on RGB 558 AKM, switch-
selectable.
■ 75 ohm video termination– Available on RGB 508 AKM,
switch-selectable.
■ Selectable sync output– Choice of composite or separate
H&V sync, switch-selectable. Sync on green also available.
■ Selectable sync polarity– Choice of positive or negative
polarities for separate horizontal and vertical sync.
■ Power– 12-24VAC/VDC accepted through captive screw
connector.
■ Dual Color LED– Displays power applied (amber) and
signal present (green).

■ Bandwidth– 300 MHz (-3dB) video bandwidth.
■ Input connector– The RGB 508 AKM provides a 9-pin D
input connector; the RGB 558 AKM provides a 15-pin HD
input connector.
■ Buffered local monitor output– The RGB 558 AKM offers
a 15-pin HD buffered local monitor output.
■ Advanced Digital Sync Processing (ADSP™)– ADSP
provides all-digital sync processing so that extraordinarily
stable images are produced on digital display devices.
■ Active audio interfacing– Converts unbalanced audio to
line-level balanced audio. Balanced audio maintains signal
quality over long cable runs, whereas unbalanced audio
does not.
■ Architectural Adapter Plate (AAP) openings– The RGB 508
and RGB 558 provide openings for two single-space AAPs as
signal pass-through connections.
