Introduction

This guide contains information about the Extron RGB-DVI300, RGB-HDMI300, and RGB-HDMI300A video scalers and converters with instructions for experienced installers on how to install, configure, and operate the equipment.

Unless otherwise specified, references in this guide to the “video converter” or “video scaler” relate to the features or operation of all models. “RGB-HDMI300A” refers specifically to the scaler with an audio input and “RGB-HDMI300” refers specifically to the scaler without an audio input. “RGB-HDMI300(A)” refers to both versions of the RGB-HDMI300.

This section provides the following information:

• About the RGB-DVI 300 and RGB-HDMI 300 (A)

• RGB-DVI 300 and RGB-HDMI 300 (A) Features

• RGB-DVI 300 and RGB-HDMI 300 (A) Application Diagram

About the RGB-DVI 300 and RGB-HDMI 300 (A)

The RGB-DVI 300, RGB-HDMI300, and RGB-HDMI300A are analog to digital video converters with built-in scaling. The scalers accept a single RGB or HDTV component (R-Y, Y, B-Y) input video signal at any standard RGB or HDTV component resolution, through a female 15-pin HD connector.

The RGB-HDMI300 and RGB-HDMI300A units are identical except that the RGB-HDMI300A model has a rear panel, 3.5 mm TRS connector to accept an unbalanced audio signal. The audio signal is embedded in the HDMI® output.

A single video output at any of a large range of scaled resolutions and refresh rates is provided through a DVI-I (RGB-DVI 300) or HDMI (RGB-HDMI 300 and RGB-HDMI 300 A) connector.

Input and output settings, picture controls, and advanced settings can be adjusted through the front panel menu with on-screen display, using the Extron Signal Processing Products Control Program (SPPCP), or by RS-232, using the Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands.

RGB-DVI 300 and RGB-HDMI 300 (A) Features

Accept all standard RGB and HDTV YUV inputs — These signals are input via a female 15pin HD connector (see page 4).

Scaling — Input sources are scaled to fit the native rate (or pixel size) of a display device. For a list of valid resolutions, see the Output Resolutions and Refresh Rates table on page 9.

Multiple output resolutions — These units output an extensive range of DVI (or HDMI) resolutions (from 640x480 to 1920x1200, including 1080p) and refresh rates (23.98 Hz to 75Hz). See the Output Resolutions and Refresh Rates table on page 9.

Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) emulation — The video converter emulates EDID information on the VGA input to ensure the output device produces a signal to match the requirements of the application.

Auto-Image™ — This feature automatically optimizes the image to the scaled output rate, eliminating complex setup (see page 16).

Signal Processing Products Control Program (SPPCP) — This Windows® based software provides a simple and intuitive graphical user interface to adjust input and output signals (see page 23).

On-screen display menu — The menu options are accessed using front panel controls to easily adjust input and output signals (see page 14).

configuration and picture adjustment by a host device, using SIS commands (see page 28). Presets — Sixteen input presets (see page 36) and three user presets (see page 18) make it

easy to save and recall commonly used input sources. HDMI Data — This feature enables or disables ancillary data that can be embedded within the

HDMI output signal (see page 10). When the data are included in a signal passed to a DVI-only display, the displayed images can be erratic.

Audio Input (RGB-HDMI 300 A only) — The RGB-HDMI 300 A model embeds audio in the HDMI output signal (see page 4).

Variable Audio Delay (RGB-HDMI 300 A only) — This feature eliminates “Lip sync” effects by delaying the audio signal to compensate for video processing by other signal processors and display devices in the system beyond the RGB-HDMI 300 A (see page 19). The RGB-HDMI300 A automatically adds an audio delay to compensate for internal video processing.

Front panel security lockout — This feature locks all front panel controls to prevent accidental or unauthorized reconfiguration (see page 14).

Behind flat panel mounting — The compact size allows the unit to be concealed by mounting it to the wall behind a flat panel display. There are a wide range of mounting options (see Wall Mounting on page 40).

ATTENTION:

(R-Y) (B-Y)Y

• Always use a power supply supplied by or speciﬁed by Extron. Use of an unauthorized

power supply voids all regulatory compliance certiﬁcation and may cause damage to the supply and the end product.

• Utilisez toujours une source d’alimentation fournie ou recommandée par Extron.

L’utilisation d’une source d’alimentation non autorisée annule toute certiﬁcation de conformité réglementaire, et peut endommager la source d’alimentation et l’unité.

• Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling

spaces or in wall cavities. The power supply is to be located within the same vicinity as the Extron AV processing equipment in an ordinary location, Pollution Degree 2, secured to the equipment rack within the dedicated closet, podium, or desk.

• Sauf mention contraire, les adaptateurs CA/CC ne conviennent pas à une utilisation

dans les espaces d’aération ou dans les cavités murales. La source d’alimentation doit être placée à proximité de l’équipement Extron dans un emplacement ordinaire soumis à un degré de pollution de catégorie II, solidement ﬁxé au rack d’équipement d’une baie technique, d’un pupitre, ou d’un bureau.

• The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of National

Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 75 and the Canadian Electrical Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently ﬁxed to building structure or similar structure.

• Cette installation doit toujours être conforme aux dispositions applicables du Code

américain de l’électricité (National Electrical Code) ANSI/NFPA 70, article 725, et du Code canadien de l’électricité, partie1, section16. La source d’alimentation ne devra pas être ﬁxée de façon permanente à la structure de bâtiment ou à d’autres structures similaires.

• The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal length is

3/16 inches (5 mm). Any longer and the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. Any shorter and the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.

• La longueur des câbles exposés est primordiale lorsque l’on entreprend de les dénuder.

La longueur idéale est de 5mm (3/16inches). S’ils sont trop longs, les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et provoquer un court-circuit. S’ils sont trop courts, ils peuvent être tirés facilement, même s’ils sont correctement serrés par les borniers à vis.

NOTE: Do not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can become loose over

time.

RGB input — The RGB-DVI 300, RGB-HDMI

300, and RGB-HDMI300A accept RGB (RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, and RsGsBs) and HDTV component (YUV) signals. Connect the input signal to the female 15-pin HD connector on the back of the scaler.

If necessary, use a BNC to VGA adapter cable (see figure 4).

unbalanced stereo signals. The audio signal is embedded in the HDMI output signal.

Digital signal output — All models output digital signals. The RGB-DVI300 outputs a

DVI-D signal through a female DVI-I connector; the RGB-HDMI 300 and RGB-HDMI 300 A output an HDMI signal through a female HDMI connector.

Use the female DVI-I connector (RGB-DVI 300) or the female HDMI connector (RGB-HDMI 300 and RGB-HDMI 300 A) to pass the output signal to the display device.

Figure 5. Digital Output Sockets

NOTE: Although the RGB-DVI 300 has a rear panel DVI-I connector, the output signal is

DVI-D (digital only).

For the RGB-HDMI 300, secure the HDMI cable with the LockIt HDMI lacing bracket provided. Connect a HDMI source device to the HDMI input connector on the RGB-HDMI 300.

To secure each cable to the unit, attach an Extron LockIt bracket to the unit and secure it to the cable with a zip tie as follows:

1. Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connection

(see ﬁgure 6, 1).

2. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw

from the panel enough to allow the LockIt lacing bracket to be placed over it (2). The screw does not have to be removed.

3. Place the LockIt lacing bracket on the screw

and against the HDMI connector (3), then tighten the screw to secure the bracket (4).

4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around

the HDMI connector and the LockIt lacing bracket as shown (5).

5. While holding the connector securely against

the lacing bracket, tighten the tie wrap, then remove any excess length.

Complete details on LockIt installation are available in the LockIt HDMI Cable Lacing Bracket Installation Guide at www.extron.com.

This RS-232 port can also be used to provide control by the SPPCP. For more information about controlling these video scalers, see SIS Commands on page 29 or Signal

Processing Products Control Program (see page 25).

NOTES:

• The wiring in the RS-232 cables must cross over so that the transmit port of the

control device connects with the receive port of the video converter and vice versa.

• Only one serial port can be used at a time. If the front port is in use, the rear captive

screw connector must be disconnected from the computer or other control device. Likewise, if the captive screw port is in use, the Conﬁg port on the front panel must be disconnected from the computer or other control device.

Front Panel Cabling

To connect the host device to the config port on the front panel, use the optional Extron female 9-pin D to 2.5 mm TRS Configuration Cable. The same port is also used to provide control using the SPPCP.

Video settings

Signal type — RGB or HDTV component (Y, R-Y, B-Y) Total pixels — The total number of pixels in a line, including blanking on both sides of the

input active area (active, horizontal sync width, back porch, and front porch). The values can be adjusted from the default value ±512.

NOTE: The total number of lines per frame, including the blanking above and below the

active area is determined by the input signal and is not user adjustable.

Default values for the detected input resolution for total pixels, active pixels, and active lines are shown with an asterisk (*) in the on-screen display.

Start — The horizontal start defines the number of pixels in the blanking area to the left of the active area; the vertical start defines the number of lines above the active area.

NOTE: The vertical and horizontal starts and the active area must be set to frame the active

area of the input signal. If these values are set incorrectly, the scaler may crop trailing edges (right or bottom) or partially mask the leading edges (left or top).

Active pixels — The number of pixels per line that are inside the active area. The baseline for the active pixels corresponds to the horizontal resolution of the input signal. The values can be adjusted from the default value ±512.

NOTE: The active pixels and total pixels adjustments are interactive. Setting one of these

variables may require the other to be adjusted.

Active lines — The number of horizontal lines inside the active area. The baseline for the active lines corresponds to the vertical resolution of the input signal. The values can be adjusted from the default value ±256.

Phase — The timing of sampling by the digital scaler. Sampling at the optimum pixel phase results in a bright, stable output.

NOTE: Total pixels and active pixels must be correctly set before adjusting phase.

EDID Emulation — Emulates EDID on a VGA input to provide timing parameters to a source such as a PC. To work correctly, each cable and connection between the source and the scaler VGA input must pass pins 10, 12, and 15. EDID communication is not possible if the input cable is broken out to BNC cables.

Many VGA sources read EDID only when the device is initially powered on, for example, when a PC goes through the BIOS POST screen. In these cases, EDID must be set on the scaler before the VGA source is powered on. By default, the EDID provided by the scaler matches the current output resolution. Use the EDID SIS command to set a specific EDID other than the current output resolution.

NOTE: 1920x1080 (also known as 1080p) and 1920x1200 standard blanking PC resolutions

exceed the maximum sampling rate of the scaler (162 MHz). If the standard blanking version of these rates is applied to the scaler, they are undersampled, leading to soft output. To overcome this undersampling, set the scaler EDID emulation to 1080p or 1920x1200 before the VGA source is powered on. The scaler EDID provides the source with reduced blanking times that allow the scaler to sample the input pixel for pixel.
