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.

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 instructions of the manufacturer.

Avertissement

Alimentations• Ne faire fonctionner ce matériel qu’avec la source d’alimentation indiquée sur l’appareil. Ce

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.

(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.
