DVI-RGB 200 Setup Guide (Continued)

Operation

Apply power to the devices in the following order: 1) DVI-RGB 200, 2) display device, 3) input device. After all devices are powered up, the system is fully operational.

If any problems are encountered, verify that the cables are routed and connected properly. If your problems persist, call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline that is closest to you, at the number shown below.

NOTES: High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is an encryption method that protects copyrighted digital

entertainment material that uses DVI video.

• The DVI-RGB 200 cannot respond to the HDCP decryption key. When the DVI input is HDCP encrypted, the

output of the DVI-RGB 200 RGB is blank.

• The computer reads the DDC on power up to determine the direct digital video resolution and refresh rate

to output. Ensure that the local DVI monitor and the RGBHV monitor can both display the selected resolution

and refresh rate, otherwise images may be distorted or missing.

• Ensure that the computer and local monitor are connected to the DVI-RGB 200, and the DVI-RGB 200 and local monitor have power applied, before applying power to the computer. If the other devices are not turned on before the computer is powered on, the image will not appear.

iLevel Boost control — The Level Boost control alters the brightness of the picture on the RGB output. Judge the adjustment visually by looking at the display.

At the minimum level setting (the counterclockwise limit of this control), the interface outputs video at 0.7 Vp-p.

At the maximum level setting (the clockwise limit of this control), the interface outputs video at 1.45 Vp-p.

Select a level setting of 0.7 V and above to compensate for the signal level decrease that occurs with long cables. Set the level at the maximum setting for cable lengths over 500 feet.

Peak(ing) control — The Peaking control affects the sharpness of the RGB output. Increased peaking can compensate

 

for detail (mid- and high-frequency) loss from low bandwidth or long cables. The minimum setting (counterclockwise

 

limit) provides no peaking. The maximum setting (clockwise limit) provides 100 percent peaking.
