Troubleshooting

Turn on the input devices (computer, audio device) and output device(s) (projector, monitors, speakers). The image should now appear on the screen, and sound should be audible.

If the image does not appear or there is no sound

1.	Ensure that all devices are plugged in.
2.	Make sure that each device is receiving power. The
	interface’s front panel LED lights if the interface is
	receiving power and an active sync signal.
3.	Check the cabling and the audio connector wiring and
	grounding, and make adjustments as needed.
4.	Verify that the 75 ohm video input termination DIP
	switches have been set correctly.
5.	For digital display devices (including LCD, DLP and
	plasma devices), try turning DDSP on or off using the rear
	panel DIP switch.
6.	To test the system setup and output, substitute a video test
	generator for one of the computer inputs. Use the VTG
	that is built into the RGB 202 Rxi VTG, or use a stand-alone
	VTG with the RGB 202 Rxi. To use a stand-alone VTG,
	unplug the input/output devices’ and interface’s power
	cords, replace the video source with a VTG, then reconnect
	power cords to restore AC power.
7.	Call Extron’s customer support hotline if needed.
If the image is not displayed correctly
1.	If the output image looks too green, the sync on green
	(SOG) DIP switch may be set to On, and the display device
	may not be configured to handle SOG signals.
	Set SOG to Off.
2.	If the picture bends or flags at the top of the screen, set the
	serration pulse DIP switch to Off.
3.	For a display device that experiences intermittent glitches,
	try turning DDSP on or off using the rear panel DIP
	switch.
4.	If the picture “hangs off” the edges of the screen, adjust the
	centering controls ( , ).
5.	If the edges of the image seem to exceed their boundaries
	or if thin lines and sharp edges look thick and fuzzy, try

changing the Level/Boost or Peak Control settings. If the image is too bright, decrease the boost or peaking level.

6.	If the image appears and is stable, but it has ghosting or
	blooming, check the high Z/75 ohm video input
	termination. If changing the termination doesn’t solve the
	problem, try using a different input cable.
7.	If the picture is faint or cuts out and the signal is weak, the
	video input may be double-terminated. If a local monitor
	or a termination adapter is attached to the input’s monitor
	breakout cable, or if a laptop breakout cable is used, make
	sure that the 75 ohm video input termination DIP switches
	are set to Off (for high Z termination).
8.	If the picture from a new source computer does not seem
	correctly centered, the input position memory presets
	might require resetting. To reset the input position
	memories, do the following:

a.Unplug the interface’s AC power cord.

b.Hold the input selection switch up (toward input 1) while reconnecting the power cord to the interface and the power source

c.Select the appropriate input, and adjust the horizontal and vertical centering.

9.If the image still does not display correctly, call Extron’s customer support hotline.

If the interface does not respond to controls

1.	If the picture does not move on screen when the horizontal
	and vertical centering controls are rotated, DDSP is in use.
	Set the DDSP DIP switch to Off.
2.	If the RGB 202 Rxi VTG does not switch between inputs
	when a remote control is used, the front panel 202/VTG
	toggle switch might be set to VTG. Use the switch to select
	202 in order to use a remote control.

When the 202/VTG switch is set to VTG, signals from input1 and input 2 are ignored; the interface’s internal video test generator provides a test pattern in place of the computer video input. Input selection (selection of input 1 or input 2) cannot be performed until the 202/VTG selection switch is set to 202.
