Introduction

About this Manual

This manual contains information about the Extron RGB 201 Rxi universal interface and on how to operate and congure it.

About the RGB 201 Rxi

The RGB 201 Rxi (gure 1-1) is an analog computer-video interface with 300 MHz (-3dB) video bandwidth, Advanced Digital Sync Processing (ADSP™), and Digital Sync Validation Processing (DSVP™). It accepts a computer-video input and an unbalanced computer stereo audio input. It features a local monitor output, an RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, or RsGsBs output and a balanced, line level stereo audio output. The interface features horizontal and vertical centering and level boost and peaking.

1-2

RGB 201 Rxi Universal Interface • Introduction

Figure 1-1 — Typical RGB 201 Rxi application

Front panel controls, an RS-232 remote control system, or a PC computer can be used to shift the output image horizontally and vertically.

Features

The interface is rack and furniture mountable and has an internal switching power supply for worldwide power compatibility.

Flexible mounting options — The RGB 201 Rxi can be rack

mounted, mounted under a desk or podium, or mounted through a desk or other furniture with optional mounting kits.

Audio — The interface outputs unbalanced PC stereo audio

inputs as line level, balanced stereo or mono audio.

Level (boost) and peaking controls — Separate front panel

controls compensate for signal losses from long cable runs.

Horizontal and vertical centering controls — Separate front

panel controls allow horizontal and vertical centering adjustments.

Sync processing — Using regular sync processing to allow

centering control (H-shift or V-shift) can create problems with some digital display devices as a result of the sync delay. Extron’s ADSP option maintains a stable sync signal while allowing centering control. This interface also provides another option, Digital Display Sync Processing (DDSP™), to ensure proper displays without altering sync pulse timing or width. The sync processing type is selected via a rear panel DIP switch.

Digital Sync Validation Processing — In critical environments

or unmanned, remote locations, it is vital to know which sources are active. Extron’s exclusive DSVP conrms that input sources are active by scanning all sync inputs for active signals. DSVP provides instantaneous frequency feedback for composite sync or separate horizontal and vertical sync signals via the interface’s Remote port.

Thirty memory presets — Thirty spaces are reserved in the

interface’s memory for storing user-dened combinations of horizontal and vertical position settings based upon input signal scan rates. The interface automatically recalls the position settings when it detects an input signal with a matching scan rate.

LCD scan rate indicator — This backlit liquid crystal display

(LCD) indicates the horizontal and vertical sync rates, and the minimum and maximum centering limits. A DIP switch is provided for turning off the backlight.

RGB 201 Rxi Universal Interface • Introduction

Introduction, cont’d

RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, or RsGsBs outputs — Select the output

format via cabling setup, rear panel DIP switch, and/or internal DIP switch conguration.

• Sync on green — Sync can be added to the green video

signal, for an RGsB video output, by turning on a rear panel DIP switch.

• Sync on red, green, and blue — Sync can be added to the

red and blue video signals, for an RsGsBs video output, by turning on internal DIP switches and a rear panel DIP switch.

Serration pulse switch — This DIP switch-selectable feature

adds or strips the serration pulses from the output signal to make it compatible with digital display devices. Use the serration pulse switch if agging or bending occurs at the top of the video display.

Sync polarity adjustment — Horizontal and vertical sync

output can either follow input sync polarity, or outgoing sync can be forced to negative via an internal jumper.

Vertical sync pulse width adjustment — Vertical sync pulse

width can be adjusted via a rear panel DIP switch.

Vented metal enclosure — Vents in the enclosure keep the

interface cool and ready for use 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.

Automatic sync stripping — Sync signals are automatically

stripped from the red, green and blue video input signals. The interface normally outputs sync simultaneously as separate horizontal and vertical sync and as composite sync, but sync on green (SOG) and sync on red, green, and blue can be selected on rear panel and/or internal DIP switch(es).

Installation Overview

This is an overview of the installation process. You will nd detailed installation and operation instructions in this chapter.

To install and set up the RGB 201 Rxi interface, follow these basic steps:

Sync polarity, sync-on-red and sync-on-blue, and video

clamp conﬁguration require opening the interface’s case and should be done before the interface is mounted.

Turn all of the equipment (computers, remote controls,

interface, projector/monitor, local monitor, and speakers or other audio device) off. Disconnect the power cords from the power source.

If you want the interface to always output positive sync

or negative sync, rather than following the input sync polarity, open the interface and shift the internal jumpers as necessary. See Internal Conﬁguration and its subsection, Sync polarity jumpers, in this chapter.

If you want the interface to output RsGsBs video, open the

interface and shift the internal DIP switches as necessary. See Internal Conﬁguration and its subsection, Internal sync DIP switches (RsGsBs), in this chapter.

If you want the clamp the sync timing of the video output

to the sync tip rather than the back porch, open the interface and shift the internal jumper as necessary. See

Internal Conﬁguration and its subsection, Video clamping jumper, in this chapter.

Install the rubber feet for tabletop use, or install the

appropriate brackets and furniture or rack mount the interface. See Mounting the Interface in this chapter.

Connect the inputs (computers), output (display, local

monitor, and audio), and remote control. See Rear Panel Connections and Switches in this chapter.

Set the rear panel DIP switches. See Rear Panel Connections

and Switches in this chapter as a guide.

Connect power cords and turn on the devices: output

devices (projector, monitors, speakers), remote control device, interface, and source computers.

Adjust horizontal and vertical centering, and also level

and peaking to obtain the best picture.

Rack mounting

UL guidelines for rack mounting

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines are relevant to the safe installation of these products in a rack:

1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the unit

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 equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma: +122 °F, +50 ° C) specied by Extron.

2. Reduced air ﬂow — Install the equipment in the rack

so that the equipment gets adequate air ow for safe operation.

3. Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack

so that uneven mechanical loading does not create a hazardous condition.

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. Give appropriate consideration to the equipment nameplate ratings 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 (such as the use of power strips).

Rack mounting procedure

1. If feet were installed on the bottom of the interface, remove

them.

2. Place the interface on one half of the 1U (one unit high, 19" wide) optional rack shelf (part #60-190-01). Align the front of the interface with the front of the shelf, and align the threaded holes on the bottom of the interface with the holes in the rack shelf (gure 2-5).

If the interface receives a typical (0.7 volts p-p) analog computer video input, the output is as follows:

this control), the interface outputs video at 0.5 volts p-p.

Set the control to just before the boost range (indicated by the red line on the interface, the shaded area on the illustration on the previous page) to output unity level video.

• At the maximum level setting (the clockwise limit of this

control), the interface outputs video at 1.45 volts p-p.

Select a setting in the boost range (0.7 volts and above),

to compensate for the decrease in signal level that occurs when the signal passes through long cables.

Set the boost at 100% (the maximum level) for cable

lengths over 500 feet for all computer signals of 15 kHz to 150 kHz.

Peaking (Peak) control — Peaking affects the sharpness of a

picture. Increased peaking can compensate for detail (mid- and high-frequency) loss from low bandwidth system components or capacitance in long cables. The minimum setting (at the counterclockwise limit) provides no peaking. The maximum setting (at the clockwise limit) provides 100% peaking. Adjust this control while viewing the displayed image to obtain the optimum picture sharpness.

Centering controls

Many projectors store centering information in their own memories based on signal frequency. When a projector displays video from different input sources that have the same frequency, one source’s images may not be centered. Using the interface’s centering controls eliminates that problem.

Vertical centering ({) — While viewing the displayed image,

rotate this control to move the image up or down on the screen. During centering adjustment, the LCD displays V-SHIFT, and it indicates the vertical shift minimum or maximum limit when the centering limit has been reached. See the notes below item

Horizontal centering ([) — While viewing the displayed

image, rotate this control to move the image to the right or left on the screen. During centering adjustment, the LCD displays H-SHIFT, and it indicates the horizontal shift minimum or maximum limit when the centering limit has been reached.

To use the display’s centering controls rather than the

Installation and Operation, cont’d

Centering memory

Turning the centering knobs not only moves the images, but it also stores the horizontal and vertical centering setting in the interface’s memory. The interface recalls the centering settings each time it detects a change in the input frequency. Centering adjustments only need to be set once for an application because the settings are saved even when the power is off.

Centering indications

While the vertical ({) or horizontal ([) centering (shift) controls are being adjusted, the LCD displays H-SHIFT or V-SHIFT. That message remains on the LCD (in place of the scan rates) until the centering control has been inactive for 3 seconds.

RGB 201 Rxi Universal Interface • Installation and Operation

When a centering control reaches its minimum or maximum limit, the LCD displays MIN or MAX on the line below H-SHIFT or V-SHIFT.

Once the centering controls are no longer active, the centering settings are saved, and the LCD displays the current scan rates.

If DIP switch 1 (DDSP) on the rear panel is set to On (right) and a centering control is rotated, the LCD displays N/A DDSP ON, and the image does not shift on screen.

Troubleshooting

Turn on the input device (computer, audio device) and output device(s) (projector, monitors, speakers) and plug in the interface’s AC power cord. The image should now appear on the screen, and 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 front panel LED lights if the interface is receiving power and an active sync signal.

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

4. For digital display devices (including LCD, DLP and plasma devices), try turning DIP switch 1 (DDSP) On (up) or Off (down) on the rear panel.

5. To test the system setup and output, substitute a stand- alone video test generator (VTG) for the computer input. Unplug the power cords to the input and output devices and the interface, replace the video source with a VTG, then reconnect power cords to restore AC power.

6. Call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline if needed.

If the image is not displayed correctly

1. If the output image looks too green, the sync on green (SOG) DIP switch (switch 2) may be set to On (up), and the display device may not be congured to handle SOG signals. Set the switch to Off (down).

2. If the picture bends or ags at the top of the screen, set the serration pulse DIP switch (switch 3) to Off (down).

3. For a display device that experiences intermittent glitches, try turning DDSP On (up) or Off (down) using DIP switch 1 on the rear panel.

4. If the picture “hangs off” the edges of the screen, adjust the

centering controls ([,{).

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 Level/Boost or Peak Control settings. If the image is too bright, decrease the boost or peaking level.

6. If the image still does not display correctly, call the Extron

S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline.

If the interface does not respond to controls

If the picture does not move on screen when the horizontal and vertical centering controls are rotated, DDSP is in use. Set DIP switch 1 (DDSP) on the rear panel to Off (down).

If the image is not correctly centered

If the picture from a new source computer does not seem correctly centered, the input position memory presets might require resetting. Reset the input position memories as follows:

1. Unplug the interface’s AC power cord.

2. Open the interface. See Internal Conﬁguration in this

chapter.

3. Install a jumper in jumper block J22 (gure 2-2).

4. Plug in the interface’s AC power cord, wait approximately

5 seconds, and then unplug the AC power cord.

5. Remove the jumper installed in step 3.

6. Replace the interface’s cover and reinstall the screws.

7. Plug in the interface’s AC power cord.

8. Select the appropriate input, and adjust the horizontal and

vertical centering.

Remote Control

The interface’s rear panel Remote connector (Figure 3-1) can be connected to the serial port output of a host device, such as a computer or control system. Remote communications with the switcher are via Extron’s Simple Instruction Set or Extron’s Windows-based control program.

Figure 3-1 — Remote connector pinout

The RS-232 protocol of the rear panel Remote connector is 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no ow control.

Simple Instruction Set Control

Host-to-interface communications

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per eld. No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. When a command is valid, the interface executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the interface to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF =]), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.

Interface-initiated messages

3-2

RGB 201 Rxi Universal Interface • Remote Control

When a local event such as a front panel or contact closure selection or adjustment takes place, the interface sends a message to the host. No response is required from the host. The interface-initiated messages are listed here (underlined).

RECONFIG ] When a change is made via a front panel control or another operation occurs that must be written to a new memory block, the interface sends the reconguration message. No response is required from the RS-232 host, but the host may request a new status listing via the request information command (I/i). See the command/response table in this chapter for details.

ASCII to HEX Conversion Table

Space

Error responses

When the interface receives a valid SIS command, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. If the interface is unable to execute the command because the command is invalid or it contains invalid parameters, it returns an error response to the host.

The error response codes and their descriptions are as follows:

E10 – Invalid command E13 – Invalid value (the number is out of range/too large)

Timeout

Pauses of 10 seconds or longer between command ASCII characters result in a timeout. The command operation is aborted with no other indication.

Control Software for Windows

The included RGB 201 control program, graphical control software for Windows, offers another way to control the interface. The control software is compatible with Windows 3.1,

3.11, 95/98, and above.

Installing the software

The control program is contained on a set of 3.5-inch diskettes, and, if you choose to use it, must be installed on and run from the hard drive.

To install the software onto the hard drive, run SETUP.EXE from the installation disk #1, and follow the instructions that appear on the screen. The program requires approximately 1.5 MB (megabyte) of hard disk space.

By default the installation creates a C:\RGB201 directory, and it places two icons (RGB 201 Control Pgm and RGB 201 Help) into a group or folder named “Extron Electronics”.

Using the software

To run the control program, follow these steps:

1. Double-click on the RGB 201 Control Pgm

icon in the Extron Electronics group or folder, or on the Rgb201.exe icon in the C:\RGB201 directory. The Comm menu appears on the screen.

2. Click on the comm port that is connected to the interface’s

RS-232 port. The control software checks for the interface at that port and reads its conguration.

The control program window (Figure 3-2) appears and

displays current settings.
