DVC RGB-HD A • Setup Guide

The Extron DVC RGB-HD A is a one VGA input, one HDMI output converter that digitizes analog RGBHV video to HDMI, with
analog stereo audio embedding. It accepts resolutions from 640x480 up to 1080p @ 60 Hz and 1920x1200 @ 60 Hz with reduced
blanking. A USB port allows for system conguration and rmware updates using Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands
or PCS Product Conguration Software. The DVC RGB-HD A allows the adaptation or integration of legacy VGA products into
an all-digital audio-video system. It features a dual-purpose signal presence and power LED for troubleshooting, as well as eld
upgradable rmware.

lights as follows:

• Amber while the unit is powered by a 12 VDC

external power supply

• Green when the DVC detects horizontal sync on the

input

VGA input — Connect an RGBHV input, such as a

computer, to this 15-pin VGA connector (a male-to-male,
15-pin mini VGA cable is provided for this connection).
The DVC digitizes and converts the RGB input signal to
DVI or HDMI format.

Audio input — Connect an analog audio input to

this 3.5 mm TRS jack. The analog audio input can be
embedded onto the TMDS output. TMDS output with
embedded analog audio (HDMI RGB Full 4:4:4) is default.

Power connector — Connect a 12 VDC power supply

(not included) between this 2-pole, 3.5 mm captive screw
connector and a 100 to 240 VAC, 50 Hz or 60 Hz power
source.

HDMI output connector — Connect an HDMI sink to this

B

female HDMI connector.

• No input signal — When there is no input signal

present, this connector does not output TMDS data
or clock activity.

• Output 5 V mode — This mode is congurable via

SIS commands (see the DVC RGB-HD A User Guide
for information on these commands). Select either of
the following for the 5 V mode:

• Always enabled (default) — The 5 V pin is

always active, regardless of the input status. This
enables the unit to detect hot-plug assertion and
read the EDID from a connected sink.

• Auto — 5 V output is active only when a

source is connected to the input. If no source is
connected the 5 V output is disabled.

Config port — Use a USB A-to-mini B cable to connect
