Installing the RGB 500 Series Interfaces

The Extron RGB 500 Series interfaces consist of a faceplate, an interface (or interfaces) in a metal enclosure, and wall mounting brackets. The RGB 508 and RGB 568 series interfaces may also include optional connector adapter plates. Installation hardware is included with each interface.

Installation and Setup Overview

This is an overview of how to install the wall-mounted interfaces. These steps are covered in detail in this chapter.

To install and set up the RGB 500 Series interfaces for basic operation, follow these basic steps:

1Determine the installation location.

2Prepare the site for installation. Use the supplied template to mark the rough-in cutout, then cut out the wallboard or wood.

3Install the mounting bracket.

4Set the bottom panel DIP and jumper switches and top panel gain/peaking adjustment jumpers. These items will be inaccessible after installation.

5Attach the audio output, video output and power cables to the interface.

6Attach any optional adapter plates, and attach output cables to the back sides of the adapter plates.

7Set the front panel video termination toggle switch (RGB 500 and RGB 508 series models) or the front panel DIP switches (RGB 560 and RGB 568 models).

8Temporarily connect the computer video and audio input cables and (for RGB 560 and RGB 568 models) the local monitor output cable. Connect any cables whose signals will be routed through the optional adaptor pass-through plates.

9Connect power cables to the input and output devices. Turn on the input and output devices.

10The image should now display on screen. If it does not display, or if the picture displays incorrectly, double check and make adjustments to cables, DIP switches and jumpers as needed. See the “Pre-installation testing/ troubleshooting” section in this chapter.

11Temporarily disconnect the computer video and audio input cables and (for RGB 560 and RGB 568 models) the local monitor output cable from the front panel of the interface.

12Mount the interface to the mounting bracket.

13Attach the faceplate to the interface and mounting bracket.

14Reconnect the computer video and audio input cables and the local monitor output cable (for RGB 560 and RGB 568 models) to the interface, and readjust horizontal centering as needed via the front panel knob.

Installation and Operation Instructions

Determining installation location

Select an installation site. The mounting bracket may be installed in a wall using backing clips or may be installed on a hard surface, such as a podium, desk, tabletop, or hardwood wall, using wood/metal screws. Take cabling and power availability into consideration.

The RGB 500 Series interfaces do not require attachment to wall studs, so they may be placed almost anywhere on a wall.

Preparing the installation site

Actual size rough-in templates for each model are provided in Appendix B. Use them as guides to mark and cut the hole in the wall or furniture through which the interface will be installed. The innermost line represents the opening where material will be removed and the mounting bracket will be installed.

1.Cut out the center portion (up to the guidelines) of the rough-in template supplied with the mounting bracket.

2.Place the template on the wall or surface where the interface will be installed. Use a soft pencil to mark the guidelines for the opening on the wall.

3.Cut out the material from the rough-in area with a jigsaw or small hand saw.

4.Check the opening size by inserting the mounting bracket into the opening. The flat portion should lay snugly on the wall or surface, and the tabs through which the screws will be inserted should fit easily into the opening. There should not be noticeable play within the opening.

5.If needed, use a saw, file or sandpaper to enlarge the hole. Smooth the edges of the opening to avoid damage or
