Before connecting audio, determine whether your audio

 

system is unbalanced or balanced. Connect an audio

 

device, such as powered speakers, to the rear panel stereo

 

audio output connector for balanced or unbalanced audio

output. Following the wiring guide (figure 2-13), insert the wires into the appropriate openings in the captive screw connector. Tighten the screws on top to fasten the wires, then insert the wired audio connector into the audio output connector on the interface rear panel.

Setting the DIP switches

Four DIP switches on the rear panel and two DIP switches on the front panel of the interfaces configure the interface. The DIP switches control:

•Sync on green output

•Digital display sync processing

•Serration pulses

•ID bit termination

 

 

 

 

To set the sliding-type DIP switches, use a

Tweeker or small screwdriver to slide the switch

to the on/closed or off/open position.

Rear panel switches

SOG (sync on green output)

On — If this switch is set to on (up), the

interface outputs a composite sync signal

SOG DDSP SERR SPARE

on top of the green video signal via the G

 

output connector (RGsB).

 

Off — If the SOG feature is set to off (down), output is RGBS or RGBHV, depending on how the interface and projector are cabled.

DDSP™ (digital display sync processing)

On — If this switch is set to on (up), the interface does not perform sync processing. This may be necessary for digital display devices, such as LCD (liquid crystal display), DLP (digital light processor) and plasma displays.

Off — If this switch is set to off (down), the interface performs sync processing operations, such as horizontal shift, using Extron’s ADSP™.

Turning on the DDSP feature disables the horizontal shift control.

SERR (serration pulses)

Many display devices, such as LCD and DLP projectors and plasma displays, must not have serration pulses present in the sync signal in order to display images properly. Flagging or bending at the top of the video image is a sign that the serration pulses should not be present.

On — When this switch is set on (up), serration pulses are present with sync signal output.

Off — When this switch is set off (down), serration pulses are not present with sync signal output.
