Warning
Power sources • This equipment should be operated only from the power source indicated on the product. This equipment is intended to be used with a main power system with a grounded (neutral) conductor. The third (grounding) pin is a safety feature, do not attempt to bypass or disable it.
Power disconnection • To remove power from the equipment safely, remove all power cords from the rear of the equipment, or the desktop power module (if detachable), or from the power source receptacle (wall plug).
Power cord protection • Power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be stepped on or pinched by items placed upon or against them.
Servicing • Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. There are no userserviceable parts inside. To prevent the risk of shock, do not attempt to service this equipment yourself because opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Slots and openings • If the equipment has slots or holes in the enclosure, these are provided to prevent overheating of sensitive components inside. These openings must never be blocked by other objects.
Lithium battery • There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace it only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Avertissement
Alimentations• Ne faire fonctionner ce matériel qu’avec la source d’alimentation indiquée sur l’appareil. Ce matériel doit être utilisé avec une alimentation principale comportant un fil de terre (neutre).

About this Manual
This manual contains information about the Extron RGB 201 Rxi universal interface and on how to operate and configure it.
About the RGB 201 Rxi
The RGB 201 Rxi (figure 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
The interface is rack and furniture mountable and has an internal switching power supply for worldwide power compatibility.
Features
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 confirms 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-defined 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.

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 configuration.
•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 flagging 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 find detailed installation and operation instructions in this chapter.
To install and set up the RGB 201 Rxi interface, follow these basic steps:
NSync 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.
1Turn 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.
2If 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.
3If 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.
4If 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.
5Install 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.
6Connect the inputs (computers), output (display, local monitor, and audio), and remote control. See Rear Panel Connections and Switches in this chapter.
7Set the rear panel DIP switches. See Rear Panel Connections and Switches in this chapter as a guide.
8Connect power cords and turn on the devices: output devices (projector, monitors, speakers), remote control device, interface, and source computers.
9Adjust horizontal and vertical centering, and also level and peaking to obtain the best picture.
