RGB 322, RGB 324, RGB 326 and RGB 340 Input Buffers

The RGB 322, 324 and 326 are each mounted on a two-gang wall plate that can be installed in a wall, conference table, podium, etc., while the RGB 340 mounts under a table or shelf. Each buffer has a 9-pin input connector compatible with computers that output analog RGsB, RsGsBs, RGBS and RGBHV.

________ These buffer units have their own User’s Manual

(68-338-01).

A “Show Me” button on the RGB 322, RGB 324 and

RGB 340 buffer units allows the user to select their buffer as the active source and present their output onto the main display via the RGB 320. This is

called “virtual interfacing” control of the RGB 320.

Virtual interfacing also allows interface adjustments to be made from certain buffer models. Thus, users

may interact with the main display directly from their buffer locations.

All buffers are available in gray, and the 2-gang wall plates are also available in black or white face plates, so they can blend into walls, podiums, tables, etc. Control can be via the RGB 320 front panel buttons, RS-232 control and Extron’s control program for Windows®.

Virtual interfacing– Allows you to make various video

and audio adjustments that are passed to the RGB 320, which then executes the adjustments and stores them in memory.

• Show Me button– You can remotely select your own buffer to become the active input source and, via the RGB 320, display their information on the presentation devices.

• Horizontal Shift (centering)– This adjusts the horizontal position of the image on the video display.

Remote connection– The buffers provide remote input connection for a permanent A/V installation that requires more than one interface location.

Universal compatibility– The buffers output analog RGsB, RsGsBs, RGBS and RGBHV video signals,

ensuring compatibility with all types of analog computer inputs.

The RGB 324 and RGB 340 have all of the features of the RGB 322 as well as these:

• Show Me button– With the RGB 324 and RGB 340, the Show Me button acts not only as the buffer’s source selector, but also as the primary switch that allows video and audio level adjustments to be made.

Vertical shift (centering)– This allows vertical movement of the video image for a centered presentation display.

Video & audio level– The RGB 324 and RGB 340 allow you to make video and audio level adjustments right from the buffer.
