Introduction

About this Manual

This manual documents two universal interfaces: RGB 160xi and RGB 164xi. Unless otherwise specified, any references to “the interface” refers to the features or operation of both interfaces.

About the Interfaces

The RGB 160xi and 164xi are universal interfaces with a video bandwidth of 300 MHz and a horizontal frequency range of 15-160 kHz.

Features

2-color power/signal LED — When the interface is on, the power/signal LED lights amber. When the interface is on and a signal is present, the LED lights green.

Gain/peak control— Increases signal voltages to compensate for signal degradation caused by long cable lengths.

Stereo audio — Front panel audio input and a 3.5 mm captive screw output connector on the rear panel.

Horizontal shift — The picture can be shifted horizontally. A min/max LED indicator lights red whenever the shifting reaches its lower or upper limits.

ADSP™ (Advanced Digital Sync Processing) — Allows sync processing operations, such as horizontal centering, to occur without affecting the signal’s sync timing. This allows horizontal centering to be applied to signals that are output to digital display devices, such as LCD projectors, DLP (digital light processor) projectors, and plasma displays.

Dual outputs (RGB 164xi only) — Provides two identical interfaced outputs.

Buffered local monitor outputs — Provides a buffered local monitor output.

Under/through desk mounting — The interfaces can be mounted either under or through a desk, or other suitable surface, using the optional mounting kit.

Rack mounting (RGB 164xi only) — The RGB 164xi can be mounted on a standard 1U Universal rack shelf.
