This manual contains information about the Extron

RGB 202 Rxi and RGB 202 Rxi VTG universal interfaces and on how to operate and configure them.

About the RGB 202 Rxi and RGB 202 Rxi VTG

The RGB 202 Rxi is an analog computer-video interface with 300 MHz (-3dB) video bandwidth and Advanced Digital Sync Processing™. It accepts two computer-video and two unbalanced computer stereo audio inputs. It also features one RGBHV, RGBS or RGsB output and one balanced, line level stereo audio output. The RGB 202 Rxi VTG is identical to the RGB 202 Rxi except that it also contains a built-in video test generator (VTG).

Front panel controls, remote contact closure, or an RS-232 remote control system or computer can be used to select between inputs.

Features

Flexible mounting options — The RGB 202 Rxi and

RGB 202 Rxi VTG can be rack mounted, mounted under a desk or podium, or mounted through a desk or other furniture with optional mounting kits.

Stereo audio — Unbalanced PC stereo audio inputs are output as line level, balanced stereo audio.

Level (boost) and peaking controls — Separate front panel controls compensate for signal losses from long cable runs.

Horizontal and vertical centering controls — These front panel controls allow separate horizontal and vertical centering adjustments.

Digital sync processing — Using regular sync processing to allow centering control (H-shift or V-shift) can create problems with some digital display devices as a result of the sync delay. Extron’s ADSP™ (Advanced Digital Sync Processing™) maintains a stable sync signal while allowing centering control. These interfaces also provide another option, DDSP™ (Digital Display Sync Processing™), to ensure proper displays without altering sync pulse timing or width. The sync processing type is selected via a rear panel DIP switch.

Thirty memory presets — Thirty spaces are reserved in the interface’s memory for storing user-defined combinations of horizontal and vertical position settings based upon input signal scan rates. The interface automatically recalls the position settings when it detects an input signal with a matching scan rate.

LCD scan rate indicator — This backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) indicates the horizontal and vertical sync rates, and the minimum and maximum centering limits. A DIP switch is provided for turning off the backlight.

MBC power jacks — These jacks provide power to buffered monitor breakout cables.

75 ohm video termination switches — Rear panel DIP switches provide a way to switch between high Z and 75 ohm video input termination for systems where a local computer monitor is not used.

RGBHV, RGBS, or RGsB outputs — Select the output format via cabling setup and rear panel DIP switch.

Serration pulse switch — This DIP switch-selectable feature adds or strips the serration pulses from the output signal to make it compatible with digital display devices. Use the serration pulse switch if flagging or bending occurs at the top of the video display.

Sync polarity adjustment — Horizontal and vertical sync output can either follow input sync polarity, or outgoing sync can be forced to negative via a rear panel DIP switch.

Vertical sync pulse width adjustment — Vertical sync pulse width can be adjusted via a rear panel DIP switch.

Remote control input selection — Connect a remote contact closure keypad, an RS-232 control system, or a computer to the rear panel RS-232 port to remotely control the interface.

Vented metal enclosure — Vents in the enclosure keep the interface cool and ready for use 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.

Automatic sync stripping — Sync signals are automatically stripped from the red, green and blue video input signals. The interfaces output sync simultaneously as separate horizontal and vertical sync and as composite sync, but sync on green (SOG) can be selected via a rear panel DIP switch.
