1Horizontal shift knob — Use this knob to adjust the horizontal sync to move the picture left or right to center it each time the interface is powered on.

The horizontal shift control has no mechanical limits to rotation. When the minimum or maximum limit of the control is reached, the picture ceases to move on screen.

2Power indicator LED — The RGB 500 Series interfaces have a built-in autopower feature. When a signal is present at the input, the interface will power on, and the green front panel LED will light.
