Introduction
About the RGB 324, RGB 326, and RGB 340 Interface Buffers
The Extron RGB 324, RGB 326, and RGB 340 interface buffers distribute analog computer video and audio signals to the RGB 320 switching interface system. These buffers each offer a 300 MHz (-3dB) video bandwidth. They provide remote input connections to the RGB 320 interface for permanent installations in environments such as conference and training rooms or command and control centers.
Each buffer accepts one analog RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, or RsGsBs computer-video input on a 9-pin D connector, and one unbalanced stereo audio input on a 2-channel stereo jack.
The RGB 324 and RGB 326 are available in grey, black, and white. The RGB 340 is available in grey only.
Features
Automatic setup with input signal detection — When an input
(buffer) is selected, the RGB 320 detects the computer type and scan rate, and loads the appropriate picture settings. Ten of the most popular computer scan rates and signal types are factory stored in the RGB 320’s memory, so it is usually not necessary to make adjustments. If adjustments are required, the RGB 320 has fifteen additional memory blocks per input for storing user­defined picture control settings that are specific to the installation, so it is not necessary to make adjustments each time an input is selected.
Furniture and wall mountability — The RGB 324 and RGB 326
buffers have two-gang wallplates for installation on a wall or in furniture. The RGB 340 buffer is a shelf- or furniture-mounting version of the RGB 324 with mounting ears instead of a wallplate.
Additional control methods — The buffers can be controlled
via the RGB 320 front panel buttons or through an RS-232 device using simple commands or Windows­based control software.
Monitor termination — Each buffer has a high impedance/
75 ohm termination switch.
Stereo audio — Unbalanced stereo audio inputs can be output
as balanced or unbalanced stereo audio.
Additional RGB 324 and RGB 340 features
“Show Me/Select” button — Each RGB 324 and RGB 340 buffer
has a “Show Me/select” button that allows a user to select that buffer as the source of the active input to the RGB
320.
Centering and level controls — Adjustments to horizontal and
vertical centering and to video and audio levels for that input can be made directly from the RGB 324 and RGB 340 front panel control knobs. Adjustment settings for each buffer are stored in the RGB 320’s memory.

Prepare the site for installation. Use the template supplied
2
in the appendix to mark the site, then cut out the wallboard or wood.
Set the jumpers. The jumpers will be inaccessible after
3
installation.
Connect cables to the buffer for power and for audio and
4
video output. These cables will be inaccessible after installation.
Set the front panel High Z/75 Ohm video termination
5
toggle switch.
Temporarily connect input cables and apply power to the
6
buffer, the RGB 320, and the input and output devices. See the “Pre-installation testing/troubleshooting” section in this manual.
Temporarily disconnect power. Remove cables as needed,
7
and mount the buffer to the wall or furniture.
Reconnect cables and power, and adjust centering and
8
levels as needed.
1. Cut out the center portion of the cut-out template, which is provided in appendix B.
2. Place the template (or the wall box) against the installation surface, and mark the guidelines for the opening on the wall or furniture.
3. Cut out the material from the marked area with a jigsaw or small hand saw.
4. Check the opening size by inserting the wall box (if used) or the interface (if no wall box is used) into the opening. The box and/or interface should fit easily into the open­ing. Enlarge or smooth the edges of the opening if needed.
5. Attach the wall box to the wall stud or furniture with nails or screws, leaving the front edge flush with the outer wall or furniture surface, as shown in the following illustration.
2-2
Installation and Operation Instructions
Preparing the site, installing the wall box (RGB 324, RGB 326)
When selecting an installation site, choose a location that will allow cable runs without interference, preferably next to a 2” x 4” wall stud or a structural element of the furniture. Allow enough depth for both the wall box and the cables. You may need to install the cables into the wall, furniture, or conduits before installing the buffer.
The RGB 324 and RGB 326 are typically installed in a 2-gang,
3.5-inch deep, metal wall box (provided by Extron). A different wall box, a plastic box, or no box at all can be used, as long as the installation conforms to electrical codes and to the interface’s size requirements. Dimensional drawings and actual-size cut-out templates are provided in appendix B.
RGB 324/326/340 • Installation and Operation
Attaching the wall box to a wall stud
If attaching the wall box to wood, use four #8 or #10 screws or 10-penny nails. A minimum of 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) of screw threads must penetrate the wood.
If attaching the wall box to metal studs or furniture, use four #8 or #10 self-tapping sheet metal screws or machine bolts with matching nuts.
6. Feed cables through the wall box punch-out holes for connection to the buffer, and secure them with cable clamps to provide strain relief.
7. Exposed cable shields (braids or foil) are potential sources of short circuits. Trim back and/or insulate shields with heat shrink.

Mounting the RGB 340
You may need to install the cables into the wall, furniture, or conduits before installing the buffer. A drawing showing dimensions is provided in appendix B.
1. Hold the buffer against the underside of the desk or other furniture. Mark the location of holes for screws on the furniture.
2. From the side of the furniture where the interface will be located, drill 1/4” (6.5 mm) deep, 3/32” (2.4 mm) diameter pilot holes in the furniture at the marked screw locations.
3. Insert and loosely fasten four wood screws into the pilot holes, leaving only 1/4” of the screw protruding.
4. Set the internal peaking jumpers and attach the cables to the rear panel. The jumpers and cables will be inaccessible after installation. See “Rear panel/circuit board features and jumpers” and “Cabling” in this chapter for details.
5. Align the screws with the slots in the buffer’s mounting ears, and place the buffer against the surface (with the screws through the mounting ear slots).

Extron recommends using Extron’s seventeen conductor bulk
Cabling
All the output, power, and control cables from the RGB 324, RGB 326, and RGB 340 buffers go directly to the RGB 320 switching interface. Refer to the RGB 320 User’s Manual and see “Connecting the buffer to the RGB 320 with installation cable” in this chapter when making and connecting cables for the buffers. Run the cables through the wall/furniture and into the electrical box (if used) before attaching connectors.
Input connections
Input connections and audio input connector wiring are discussed on page 2-5.
Connecting shields
Multiconductor cables contain several braided and foil shields. At the buffer end of the cable, the outer braided and foil shields should be connected to the grounded metal wall box (or to a grounding wire if a metal wall box is not used). The wires that make up the braided shield can be unbraided, then twisted together to form a large, multi-strand wire that can be folded

plenum installation cable (part numbers 22-111-03, 22-111-04) or equivalent. Installation cable includes coaxial cables for video signals, shielded twisted pair wires for audio, and single conductors for power and communications signals.
Connect the cables between the buffer and the RGB 320 interface on a one-to-one basis. Cable conductor assignments must be the same at both ends of the cable, or damage may occur to circuits in the buffer and/or the RGB 320.
Remove power from both the buffer and the RGB 320 while cables are being attached.
Preparing and terminating the cable
Use the illustrations on pages 2-14 and 2-15 as wiring guides. They show connectors and conductor assignments for the buffers and the RGB 320.
1. Select and install a multiconductor cable, such as the Extron Plenum seventeen conductor installation cable, which contains appropriate conductors (at least 5 coaxial, 3 sets of shielded twisted pair, 3 single 20 AWG) for the video, power, control, and audio signals that this system will use.

2. Determine what colors of each conductor type will be used for which signal, or use the examples provided in this manual.
3. Strip 7” to 8” (18 cm to 20 cm) of the outer jacket from the end of the cable.
4. Use a pointed tool to separate the braided wire shield sur­rounding the cable. Pull the ends of the braid away from the cable, twist the braid wires together, and clamp them to the electrical box (if used). See “Connecting shields”, page 2-10.
5. Unroll and cut off the foil shield.
6. Place a 1.5” to 2” (3.8 cm to 5 cm) piece of heat shrink on
each mini coaxial cable, but do not heat it yet.
7. Install and crimp a male BNC connector onto each of five mini coaxial cables. The white mini coaxial cable is not used by the buffer; it can be insulated and set aside or trimmed back 7” to 8”.
8. Slide the heat shrink over the ferrule of each attached
BNC connector, and heat it to fasten the heat shrink in place.
9. Place a 6” (15 cm) piece of heat shrink on each set of shielded twisted pair wires (one on white/black, one on red/black, one on orange/black), but do not apply heat yet.
10. Separate the wire braid from the white/black and red/black shielded twisted pair conductors for about 1” (2.5 cm) from the ends. For each twisted pair set, twist the strands of the wire braid together.
11. Strip 1/4” (13 mm) of insulation from the ends of the white/black and red/black twisted pair wires. Twist each conductor’s stranded wires.
12. The left half of the 10-pole connector is for audio output to the RGB 320. See the diagrams on pages 2-14 and 2-15, which show wiring for balanced audio output. See the illustration below for a comparison of wiring for unbalanced (high impedance) or balanced (high impedance or 600 ohms) stereo audio output.

Insert the tips of the white/black twisted pair wires into the captive screw connector for left audio. Insert the tips of the red/black twisted pair wires into the captive screw connector for right audio. For balanced audio output, white = L+, black = L-; red = R+, black = R-.
13. Twist together the wire braids from both (white/black and red/black) twisted pairs.
14. Insert the twisted braid into the ground connection on the audio part of the captive screw connector. See the illustra­tions in step 12 and the wiring diagram on page 2-14.
15. Separate about 1” (2.5 cm) of the wire braid from the ends of the orange/black shielded twisted pair conductors, and cut the braid off.
16. Strip 1/4” (13 mm) of insulation from the ends of the orange/black twisted pair wires. Twist each conductor’s stranded wires.
17. Insert the black wire into the slot for pin A and the orange wire into the slot for pin B of the captive screw connector.
18. Slide the heat shrink on the white/black, red/black, and orange/black twisted pairs toward the connector so no wire braid is exposed near the connector. Apply heat to fasten the heat shrink onto the wires to insulate the braided shields.
19. Strip 1/4” (13 mm) of insulation from the ends of the brown, violet, and grey single conductor (20 AWG) wires.
20. Insert the tip of the brown wire into the slot for pin C on the captive screw connector, insert the violet wire into D, and the grey wire into E. See page 2-14.
21. Repeat steps 3 through 20 to attach a 10-pole captive screw connector, BNCs, and heat shrink to the other end of the cable. Make sure that connections are the same on both ends.
22. Plug the captive screw connector on one end of the cable into the buffer’s receptacle, and connect the adjacent BNCs to the output BNCs on the buffer’s rear panel.
23. Attach the BNCs and captive screw connector on the other end of the cable to the appropriate input connectors on the RGB 320’s rear panel.
24. Apply power to the RGB 320.
Connect the sleeve to ground. Connecting the sleeve to a negative (-) terminal will damage the audio output circuits.

Pre-installation testing/troubleshooting
Before installing a buffer into the wall or furniture, test the system to make sure that the connections and settings are correct.
1. With the power disconnected from the RGB 320, connect the cables between the buffer and the RGB 320 as described in “Preparing and terminating the cable” in this chapter.
2. Apply power to the RGB 320. The power LED on the buffer will light steadily to indicate that the buffer is receiving power.
If the power LED does not light, check the captive
screw connector wiring at both the buffer and the RGB 320. If the conductor assignments are not the same at both ends, the buffer will not turn on, and circuits may be damaged if power is applied to the wrong pole.
If the image does not appear or there is no sound
1. Make sure that the RGB 320 and the buffer are powered on (see above), and that the source computer connected to the buffer is powered on.
2. Verify that the connectors are wired identically at both ends of the cable connecting the buffer to the RGB 320. Ensure that the audio portion is wired correctly for the input signal (balanced or unbalanced).
3. Verify that the front panel High Z/75 ohm video input
termination switch has been set correctly.
The switch should be set to High Z if a local monitor
is connected, a laptop breakout cable is used, or the picture is too dark (double-terminated).
4. Select that buffer as the active input to the RGB 320.
The RGB 326 buffer must be selected via the RGB 320
front panel or an RS-232 control device. The Active LED on the front panel of the RGB 326 will light when that buffer is selected as the active input.
The RGB 324 and RGB 340 can be selected via the
RGB 320 front panel or an RS-232 control device, or by pressing the Show Me/Select button on the buffer. If the Show Me/Select button blinks, the RGB 320 is busy, and the Show Me/Select button must be pressed a second time.
5. Call the Extron S3 hotline if the image still does not appear or there is no sound.
If the image is not displayed correctly
1. If the picture looks too green, the computer may be sending video with sync on green (SOG), and the display device may not be configured to handle SOG signals. The buffers do not strip sync from the video input signals.
2. If the picture “hangs off” the edges of the screen, adjust the horizontal centering and/or vertical centering (RGB 324 and RGB 340 only). See page 2-6 for details.
3. If the picture is too bright or too dark, try changing the front panel High Z/75 ohm termination switch (all buffer models, see page 2-5), adjust the level/peaking jumpers (all models, see page 2-9), or adjust the video level (RGB 324/RGB 340 only, see page 2-6).
4. If the edges of the image seem to exceed their boundaries, or if thin lines and sharp edges look thick and fuzzy, change the level/peaking jumper settings. See page 2-9.
5. If the picture appears and is stable, but it has ghosting or blooming, try changing the High Z/75 ohm video input termination (see page 2-5). If the problem is not resolved by changing the termination, try using a different input cable.
6. If the picture still is not displayed correctly, call the Extron customer support hotline.
Mounting the buffer to the wall box (RGB 324, RGB 326)
Once the system has been cabled and tested, the buffer can be installed in the wall or furniture.
1. Remove power from the RGB 320 by disconnecting the power cord.
2. Detach the input cables from the buffer’s front panel.
3. Place the buffer through the opening in the wall or
furniture and into the wall box (if one is used).
4. Mount the buffer’s faceplate to the wall box with the provided machine screws as shown in the illustration on the next page, or attach the buffer directly to the furniture with wood or metal screws.

RGB 324/RGB 326 wall box dimensions
Below is a diagram of the dimensions of the electrical wall box that is shipped with an RGB 324 or RGB 326. If you use a different wall box, use its measurements when planning the installation.
Outside width of box
= 3.75" (9.5 cm)
Outside depth = 3.5 " (8.9 cm)
= 3.0" (7.6 cm)
Height of inside opening
Height of box = 3.75" (9.5 cm)
Inside depth = 3.4 " (8.6 cm)
Hole spacing =
1.8" (4.6 cm)
Whether you use the electrical wall box supplied with the buffer, another wall box, or no box, allow enough depth in the installation space to accommodate the bend radius of the cable. The bend radius is usually at least ten times the diameter of the outer cable jacket, but it varies with the type of cable.
