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 user-serviceable 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.

Figure 1. Typical Application for the RGB 203 Rxi
The RGB 203 Rxi is an analog computer-video interface with 300 MHz (-3 dB) video
bandwidth. It comes in two models:
z RGB 203 Rxi with ADSP
z RGB 203 Rxi with EDID Minder
™
®
Both models have Digital Sync Validation Processing (DSVP™). They accept three video and
two unbalanced stereo audio inputs (input 3 is video only). They provide a local monitor
output (RGBHV, RGBs, or RGsB) and balanced, line level stereo or mono audio output. They
also allow control of horizontal and vertical centering, level boost, and peaking.
Front panel controls, remote contact closure, autoswitching, or an RS-232 remote control
system can select among inputs and can be used to shift the output image horizontally or
vertically.
The interfaces are rack-mountable and furniture-mountable and have an internal switching
power supply for worldwide power compatibility.
RGB 203 Rxi • Introduction 1
Features
EDID Minder — The Extron EDID Minder ensures the resolution of the video source signals
is compatible with the display devices.
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.
The Extron ADSP option maintains a stable sync signal while allowing centering control.
Digital Display Sync Processing (DDSP™) — This feature 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 (DVSP) — In critical environments or unmanned,
remote locations, it is vital to know which sources are active. The exclusive Extron 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 Remote port of the interface.
Automatic sync stripping — Sync signals are automatically stripped from the red, green,
and blue video input signals. The interfaces normally output sync simultaneously as separate
horizontal and vertical sync and as composite sync, but sync on green (SOG) can be selected
via a rear panel DIP switch.
Sync polarity adjustment — Horizontal and vertical sync output can either follow input
sync polarity, or outgoing sync can be forced to positive or negative via an internal jumper.
Serration pulse selection — This DIP switch selectable feature adds or strips the serration
pulses from the output signal to make it compatible with digital display devices.
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.
Vertical sync pulse width adjustment — Vertical sync pulse width can be adjusted via a
rear panel DIP switch.
RGBHV, RGBS, or RGsB outputs — Select the output format via cabling setup and rear
panel DIP switch.
Stereo audio — The interface processes unbalanced PC stereo audio inputs as a line level,
balanced stereo or mono audio output.
Horizontal and vertical centering controls — Separate front panel controls allow
separate horizontal and vertical centering adjustments.
Level (boost) and peaking controls — Separate front panel controls compensate for
signal losses from long cable runs.
Thirty memory presets — Thirty spaces are reserved in the memory of the interface 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.
Remote control input selection — Connect a remote contact closure keypad, an RS-232
control system, or a computer to the rear panel Remote port to remotely control the
interface.
Front panel security lockout (Executive mode) — Locks out front panel control of
horizontal and vertical shift and input selection.

a AC power connector — Connect a standard IEC AC power cord here for power input
(100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz) to the internal power supply.
b Inputs 1, 2, and 3 — Connect the analog computer-video sources to these 15-pin HD
female connectors.
NOTE: Most laptop or notebook computers have an external video port, but they
require special commands to output the video to that connector. Also, the
screen of the laptop may shut off once that port is activated. See the user
guide for the computer for details, or contact Extron for a list of laptop
keyboard commands.
c Audio inputs 1 and 2 — Connect the unbalanced stereo audio sources (such as
computers or a CD player) to these 3.5 mm mini stereo jacks for unbalanced audio
input. Figure 3 below shows how to wire the audio jack.

Software for RS-232 control is included with the interface. See “Contact Closure
Remote Control” on page 17 for details.
Connect a contact closure remote control device to this 9-pin D female connector for
remote switching between inputs.
The rear panel Remote connector also provides a way to select an input to the interface
using a remote contact closure device. Contact closure control uses pins on the
Remote connnector that are not used by the RS-232 interface. The contact closure pin
assignments are shown in the table in figure 4.
To select a different input number using a contact closure device, momentarily short the
pin for the desired input number to logic ground (pin 5). To force one of the inputs to be
always selected, leave the short to logic ground in place. The short overrides front panel
input selections.
