Operation • Controls and Indicators

Laptop, Notebook or Portable Applications – Video from these computers may be quite different from standard

PCs or Macs because they were designed to use an LCD screen instead of a CRT monitor. Here are some

guidelines:

A)When using Laptop, Notebook or portable computers with VGA outputs, the termination switch must be set to 75 ý for that input (#1 or #2) and all cable connections must be made before turning the computer power ON (unless using an LBC VGA cable, or using a VGA Termination Adapter).

B)Most Laptop, Notebook and portable computers have external video (CRT or RGB) ports but require special keyboard commands to access or output the video to this connector. See the User’s Guide that came with the computer for instructions to activate this video port or call Extron for a complete list of all Laptop, Notebook and Portable keyboard commands.

C)Most portable computers with built-in LCD displays will be deactivated (shut-off) automatically once the external video port has been activated.

The illustration below shows how a Laptop computer could be connected to an RGB 202xi.

Operation • Controls and Indicators

Scan Rate Indicator

This LCD readout alternately displays the horizontal and vertical scan frequencies of the selected input. To the right of the scan-rate

display, the red LED will illuminate indicating a

horizontal reading, and the green LED will illuminate indicating a vertical reading. This frequency readout is displayed in Hertz (Hz).

Input Switch

The RGB 202xi interface can be connected to two computers at the same time, thus making it a two- input switcher, as well as an interface. The input switch is used to select which input source will be displayed on the data monitor or projector. Used to select Input #1 or #2 (both video & audio) for output from the RGB 202xi. When in the #1 position, a constant contact switch may be connected through the rear panel for remote switching.

DIP Switch Operation

The RGB 202xi uses the "rocker" type of

DIP switches. An example is shown here.

When looking at the switches from the rear:

On = press right side of the switch.

Off = press left side of the switch.

_ The factory setting for all DIP switches is Off.

Rear Panel DIP Switches

The DIP switches function as follows:

#1 - Sync Processing

Off = Use normal sync processing. On = Use LCD Sync processing. Centering controls ( and ) become inactive. This switch may also be used:

a. To get a center reference point by temporarily turning it ON, note the picture centering, and then turn it OFF and make centering adjustments.

b.When centering from the display device only.

c.If there is difficulty adjusting the centering.

#2 - Sync On Green Defeat

Off = Auto Sync detection is active.

On = Auto Sync detection, but No Sync on Green.
