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.

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.

Audio settings (RGB-HDMI 300 A model only)

Gain and attenuation — Gain increases audio levels (0 to +10 dB). Attenuation reduces audio levels (0 to -18 dB).

Audio delay — When video signals are processed, they can be delayed relative to the audio signal. The RGB-HDMI 300 A automatically delays audio by approximately 15 ms to compensate for internal video processing. It also allows the user to set an additional audio delay to compensate for delays to the video signal introduced by other signal processors and display devices in the system.

Output Signal

Video signal

Auto-Image — Automatically sizes and centers the input signal to fill the screen of the output device. Auto-Image can be used to configure each input rate separately, or it can be enabled, in the Advanced Configuration menu, to automatically size and center each new input rate.

Picture position — Sets the horizontal and vertical centers for the output image and is used primarily to adjust for aspect ratio.

Picture size — Sets the size of the output image so that it can fill the entire display device and is used primarily to adjust for aspect ratio.

Detail filter — Uses variable filters to increase or decrease the detail and definition of the displayed image. The value can be adjusted on a scale from 0 to 127. The default setting is 64.

Brightness — Adjusts the black level of the image on the screen, on a scale from 0 to 127. The default setting is 64.

Contrast — Adjusts the difference between the input’s darkest and brightest levels, on a scale from 0 to 127. The default setting is 64.

Zoom — Enlarges a portion of the scaled image.

NOTE: Zoom values match picture size values. A “zoomed” image can have a panning effect

applied by using the picture position control.

Output resolution and refresh rate — Every display device has an optimal (native) resolution and refresh rate. It is essential that the output resolution and refresh rate match the capabilities of the display device. The Output Resolutions and Refresh Rates table on page 9 shows the full range of resolutions and refresh rates available for output signals with these scalers. There are two additional settings:

• When Auto is selected, the video converter obtains EDID from the display device. This allows

the output signal to be adjusted to match precisely the resolution and refresh rate of the display.

• When Lock is selected, the video converter matches the resolution and refresh rate of the

output signal with those of the input signal. This produces a 1:1 non-scaled analog to digital conversion.

Lock output rate — Allows automatic analog to digital signal conversion without scaling. When a new input resolution is detected by the scaler, the output rate is adjusted to match. The lock mode uses the current input configuration settings to create a custom output resolution. If auto memory is enabled, changes to H/V Start, H/V Active, and Total Pixels are stored and recalled the next time the input rate is applied. For example, when a 1400x1050 input is applied while the scaler is in lock mode and Active Pixels are changed to 1410 and Active Lines are changed to 1055, the next time the scaler detects a 1400x1050 input, the output resolution will be 1410x1055.

This allows the user to exactly dial in each video signal when multiple or non-standard sources are used.

NOTE: Some display devices do not accept unusual input resolutions. Extron recommends

that, for most applications, only Total Pixels, H/V Start, and Phase are adjusted in Lock mode. Leave the Size and Postion picture controls at their default values, since adjusting them disables the direct analog to digital conversion and may introduce scaling artifacts.

HDMI Data — The HDMI Data setting enables or disables ancillary data that can be included

within the digital video output signal. This data can include “InfoFrames” indicating the output color space (RGB or YUV) for the RGB-DVI 300 and RGB-HDMI300A and embedded audio (RGB-HDMI 300 A only). Some DVI-only displays may show an erratic or improper video output when HDMI Data is enabled.

NOTE: This option is available only on RGB-DVI 300 units that shipped after September

2010, and on RGB-HDMI 300 A units.

The three options for this setting are Auto (default), On, and Off:

• Auto (Default) — In this mode the RGB-DVI 300 and RGB-HDMI300A read the EDID

from the display and determine if it can receive ancillary data. If a PC or DVI-only display is detected, HDMI Data is automatically turned off. If an HDMI capable sink is detected, the RGB-DVI 300 and RGB-HDMI300A automatically enable HDMI Data.

• On — This option enables HDMI Data regardless of the detected display.

• Off — This option disables HDMI Data regardless of the detected display.

Other Settings

User presets — When contrast, brightness, detail, horizontal and vertical centering, and horizontal and vertical size have been adjusted, the values can be saved as presets. This allows the values for the three most commonly used picture control settings to be instantly recalled, which is useful for handling inputs with different aspect ratios.

Test pattern — Test patterns help in the configuration of the output signal or display device. The available patterns include Color Bars, grayscale, cross-hatch, alternating pixels, crop, 1.33 aspect ratio, 1.78 aspect ratio, 1.85 aspect ratio, 2.35 aspect ratio, and off (no test pattern).

Freeze — When freeze is enabled, the video output is a still image of the last active frame. The output remains frozen even if the input signal is removed.

Blank — When blank is enabled, no video signal is sent to the output device, although the on-screen display is still available.

Reset — There are two types of reset. Firmware reset returns all options, including the firmware, to the factory defaults. Factory reset returns all image options to the factory defaults but keeps the current version of the firmware. For more information, see “Resets” on page 22.

Power save mode — This mode of operation disables the output sync signals when no input video is present. TMDS outputs may also be disabled in power save mode, depending on the hardware revision of the unit.

NOTE: Regardless of the hardware revision, the +5 VDC output remains active. This may

prevent some auto-input switching devices or displays from switching away and may also prevent the device entering sleep mode.

Contact your Extron representative (see www.extron.com/company/contactus.aspx) for more information regarding a hardware modification that will disable the +5 VDC output when power save mode is enabled and no input signal is detected.

Configuration Procedure

NOTE: This section describes how to configure the scalers using the front panel controls

and on-screen display. Many of these parameters can also be configured with SIS commands (see page 28) or the SPCPP software (see the SPCPP help file).

To set up a scaler, follow these steps:

1. Connect all input and output cabling to the scaler and apply AC power (Power Input see

page 3).

2. In the Output Conﬁguration menu (page 20), set the output rate of the scaler to match the

native resolution of the display.

3. In the Advanced Conﬁguration menu (page 21), open the “Test Pattern” selection. a. Activate the “Alternate Pixel” pattern and adjust the Aspect Ratio and View Mode on the

display for “1 to 1” or “pixel for pixel” mode. Once this is complete, there should be no vertical bands of noise, and there should be perfect alternating columns of one on, one off pixels.

b. Activate the “crop” pattern and, if necessary, adjust the centering controls on the display

until all four crop lines are visible (do not adjust size or aspect ratio on the display). The crop pattern can now be disabled or left on for a reference when setting up various inputs.

4. Apply an input signal. In the “Input Conﬁguration” menu (page 19), ensure the Total Pixels,

Active Pixels, and Active Lines values match the current input signal.

NOTE: Some input resolutions may not be detected properly because they appear

identical to existing resolutions in terms of Total Line Count and H/V rates. These resolutions must initially be set up manually. To do this, see the Input Rates table on the next page and set the Total Pixels to match the current input resolution. Then apply an Auto Image from the menu (see page 16). Ensure that the source has a full screen image visible before activating the Auto-Image.

Most inputs can be quickly set up using the Auto-Image function (page 16). Some nonstandard resolutions, or dark content may require manual adjustments of Active Pixels, Active Lines, H/V Start, and Phase (see Input Configuration on page 19).

5. For the RGB-HDMI 300 A model only, use the Input Conﬁguration menu (page19) to adjust

the audio gain and attenuation and set the audio signal delay to compensate for delays to the video signal introduced by other signal processors and display devices in the system.

NOTE: The RGB-HDMI 300 A automatically delays audio by approximately 15 ms to

compensate for internal video processing.

6. Once the input is sized and centered correctly, navigate to the Picture Controls menu

(see page 17) if any adjustments to Brightness, Contrast, Horizontal and Vertical Position (nominally 0, 0), Horizontal and Vertical Size (nominally match the current output resolution), Detail, or Zoom are required.

7. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each additional input source and resolution.

NOTE: To adjust the Aspect Ratio, use the Advanced Configuration menu (page 21)

and activate the appropriate Aspect Ratio Test Pattern. Using the test pattern as a template, align the image, using the Size and Position controls under Picture Controls (page 17). Once the image is satisfactory, the Picture Control settings can be stored for future recall in a User Preset (see page 18).

If Auto Memory (see page 22) is enabled, these settings are recalled automatically the next time the input is detected.

Output Conﬁguration

The Output Configuration is used to select a scaler output rate from the various available resolution and refresh rates. The RGB-DVI 300, RGB-HDMI 300, and RGB-HDMI 300 A have a large range of combinations of resolution and refresh rate (see table 1 on page 10).

Select Output Configuration from the main menu. Use the [knob to select a

Resolution. Then use the { knob to select a Refresh Rate. Apply the settings by pressing

the Enter button, or they are applied automatically after 5 seconds.

Figure 20. Output Conﬁguration Menu

Two other options are available in the Resolution submenu:

• Auto — The unit receives EDID information from the display device and adjusts the output

signal to match the requirements of the display.

• Lock — The unit matches the resolution and refresh rate of the output signal with those of

the input signal. This produces a 1:1 nonscaled, analog to digital conversion.

Color Space — The two available options are RGB (default) and YUV. Use the {knob to toggle between the values and then apply the setting by pressing the Enter button.

HDMI Data (RGB-DVI 300 units shipped after September 2010 and RGB-HDMI300A only) — The HDMI signal contains additional embedded information (HDMI data) that may cause some DVI-only displays to produce an erratic or improper video output. This menu option allows the HDMI data to be stripped from the signal to make it compatible with DVI-only displays. The options are:

• Auto (Default) — In this mode the RGB-DVI 300 and RGB-HDMI300A read the EDID from

the display and determine if they are capable of receiving ancillary data. If a PC or DVI-only display is detected, the HDMI Data automatically turns off. If an HDMI capable sink is detected, the RGB-DVI 300 and RGB-HDMI300A automatically enables the HDMI Data.

• On — This option enables the HDMI Data regardless of the detected display.

Advanced Conﬁguration

The Advanced Configuration menu configures global settings, including Test Pattern,

Blank, Freeze, global Auto Image, AutoMemory, and Factory Reset.

Press the Menu button to display the main menu and use either rotary encoder to select

Advanced Configuration. Press the Enter button.

Figure 21. Advanced Conﬁguration

Test pattern can be set to Color Bars, Gray Scale, Crosshatch, Alternating Pixels,

Crop, four different Aspect Ratios, or Off. These patterns are used to configure the output

signal.

Color Bar – Used to verify correct cabling/color decoding at the display. Color saturation,cross-talk, and level can all be optimized at the display using this pattern.

4x4 Crosshatch – Used for linearity, convergence, skew, focus, and geometric adjustments of display devices.

Crop – Once the clocking on the display has been optimized using the Alt. Pix pattern, the Crop is used to align the active area on the display using H / V shift adjustments.

1.78 Aspect – Used as an overlay to size and center 16:9 inputs (e.g. 720p) with 4:3 output rates (e.g. 1024 x 768) for proper “letter box” display. Note: appears identical to the Crop pattern for 16:9 output rates (e.g. 720p)

2.35 Aspect – Used as an overlay to size and center anamorphic source material for proper “letter box” display.

16 – Level Split Gray Scale – Used for display brightness, contrast, and grayscale adjustments.

Alternating Pixels – Used to set Total Pixels (“clocking”) and Phasing (“fine sync”) on a display device; this should be used prior to Crop.

1.33 Aspect – Used as an overlay to size and center 4:3 inputs (e.g. 1024 x 768) with 16:9 output rates (e.g. 720p) for proper “pillar box” display. Note: appears identical to the Crop pattern for 4:3 output rates (e.g. 1024 x 768).

1.85 Aspect – Used as an overlay to size and center 35mm theatrical film source material for proper “letter box” display.

Figure 22. Test Pattern Options.

NOTE: All aspect ratio patterns also include a 1 pixel wide crop pattern at the edge of the

video output raster.

When Blank is enabled, there is no video output (aside from the on-screen display). When Freeze is on, the video output is a still picture of the last active frame.

Auto-Image and Auto Memory

The Auto-Image and Auto Memory functions work interactively. Either function can be on or off, giving four possible combinations.

Auto Image on and Auto Memory on — If the Auto-Image function is on, the input signal is sized and centered to fill the screen. If the Auto Memory function is on, these parameters are saved. The next time the unit encounters the same signal, the parameters saved by the AutoMemory are applied automatically.

When all 64 memories are filled, the oldest is overwritten by new ones. Auto Image off and Auto Memory on (default setting) — If the Auto-Image function is off, the

unit applies the values from the input lookup table. If no further adjustments are made, the Auto Memory does not save an entry, since all the parameters already match the input lookup table. However, if the user adjusts the input manually or carries out an Auto-Image, the new parameters is automatically stored by the Auto Memory function. These parameters are recalled when the input is detected again.

Auto Image on and Auto Memory off — Each new signal is compared with the values in the input lookup table and an Auto-Image is carried out. However, the parameters are not saved and the next time this signal is encountered, it is, once again, compared with the lookup table and an Auto-Image performed.

Auto Image off and Auto Memory off — Each new signal is set up with the default values. An Auto-Image is not carried out and the manually adjusted parameters are not saved by the Auto Memory.

Resets

To reset all user settings but keep the current version of the firmware, press the Menu button to display the main menu. Select Advanced Configuration and then Factory Reset. Press and hold the Enter button until the Factory Reset message is displayed on the screen. This is the same as the Zap SIS command (EZXXX}), as shown on page 38.

Figure 23. Factory Reset

To reset all options, including the original shipped firmware to the factory defaults, press and hold the Enter button while applying power; the Firmware Reset message is displayed on the on-screen display.

Figure 24. Firmware Reset

Output Rate Reset

When the output resolution is incompatible with the attached display, it is often difficult to get an image. An additional reset mode allows the user to toggle between two almost universally applicable output rates of 1024x768 at 60 Hz (XGA) and 720p at 60 Hz.

Applying power to the unit while holding the Menu button initially changes the output rate to 1024x768 at 60 Hz. On the next occasion power is applied to the unit while pressing the Menu button, the output rate toggles to 720p at 60 Hz.

These values were chosen because most PC monitors with a digital input will accept an XGA signal and most other consumer or professional displays accept 720p.

SIS Commands

This section provides information about the SIS commands that are used to configure the RGBDVI 300, RGB-HDMI 300, and RGB-HDMI 300 A in the following sections:

• Introduction to SIS

• Symbols Used in this Guide

• Error Messages

• Command and Response Table for SIS Commands

Introduction to SIS

Both the RGB-DVI 300 and the RGB-HDMI 300 (A) accept SIS commands from a host device such as a computer running the HyperTerminal utility or other control system. The host device can be connected to the 3-pin captive screw connector on the rear panel or to the Conﬁg port on the front panel. To connect to the Conﬁg port, use the optional Extron female 9-pin D to 2.5 mm TRS Conﬁguration cable (part number 70-335-01).

The protocol is 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. NOTES: The wiring in the RS-232 cables crosses over so that the video scaler Tx connects with the

control device Rx 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.

SIS commands consist of a string (one or more characters per command ﬁeld). Unless otherwise stated, upper and lower case characters can be used interchangeably. Commands do not require any special characters to begin or end the command string. Each response from the video converter ends with a carriage return and a line feed

(CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of the response character string. When the RGB-DVI 300, RGB-HDMI 300, or RGB-HDMI 300 A is ﬁrst switched on, depending

on the model, it sends the message: (c) COPYRIGHT 2009, EXTRON ELECTRONICS, RGB-DVI 300, V x.xx, 60-906-01] (c) COPYRIGHT 2009, EXTRON ELECTRONICS, RGB-HDMI 300, V x.xx, 60-907-01] (c) COPYRIGHT 2009, EXTRON ELECTRONICS, RGB-HDMI 300 A, V x.xx, 60-1074-01] where V x.xx is the ﬁrmware version number and 60-xxxx-01 is the part number.

Mounting

This section outlines the various mounting options available for the RGB-DVI300, RGB-HDMI300, and RGB-HDMI300A:

• Wall Mounting

• Tabletop Placement

• Rack Mounting

• Under-desk Mounting

• Through-desk Mounting

Wall Mounting

The RGB-DVI 300, RGB-HDMI 300, and RGB-HDMI 300 A can be mounted on the wall, using an optional mounting kit. This enables the unit to be concealed behind wall-mounted flat screen monitors (see www.extron.com for suitable options). Follow the instructions provided with the kit.

Tabletop Placement

Attach the four provided rubber feet to the bottom of the unit and place it in any appropriate location.

Rack Mounting

UL Guidelines for Rack Mounting

Rack Mounting Procedure

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines are relevant to the safe installation of these products in a rack:

• Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the unit is installed in a closed or multi-

unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma: +122 °F, +50°C) speciﬁed by Extron.

• Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack so that the equipment gets adequate

air ﬂow for safe operation.

• Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that uneven mechanical

loading does not create a hazardous condition.

• Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the effect

that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of the equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

• Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment.

Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power strips).

The unit can be mounted on any of the optional Extron rack systems (see www.extron.com for suitable models).

To mount the scaler on a rack shelf, follow the instructions provided with the shelf accessories.
