Computer-to-Interface Connections

As illustrated below, there are many ways to connect a computer to an interface, depending on the application. This section discusses some of the possibilities.

COMPUTER

LOCAL MONITOR

COMPUTER OR PC

RGB 202xi TWO-INPUT

UNIVERSALINTERFACE

MBC (Monitor Breakout Cables)

Extron’s MBC monitor Breakout cables feature a monitor loop-through connector to provide viewing both on the local monitor and large screen display. MBC cables are available for most computer manufacturers’ display adapter cards and are attached directly the computer’s display monitor output.

ICWK (Internal Computer Wiring Kit)

Extron ICWKs provide interfacing signals for computers and terminals with no external video display output. Internal video monitor signals are routed externally to the computer, usually to a 9-pin connector. From the 9 pin connector, a short cable is included with the kit for signal transfer to the Extron interface 9-pin connector input.

MBC Buffers

Extron MBC Buffers isolate the computer’s video signal and monitor from the Extron RGB 202xi interface, while maintaining Video Bandwidth to the local monitor and the interface. An example of an MBC buffer is shown on the next page. Power is supplied to the buffers by the “MBC Power” jacks located on the Rear Panel of the RGB 202xi interface. The page A-3 shows a partial listings of the most popular buffers; call Extron for a complete list.

HI-Res ECL Buffer (26-177-01) – Buffers all ECL type signals and is used in conjunction with an MBC cable for the computer being interfaced.

Rear Panel Connections

Audio Connections

The RGB 202xi provides audio switching (together with the video input) to the audio output which is connected to the user’s audio equipment. The user also supplies the audio cables.

The Audio Interface is a

PC/computer audio (600 ý) to line-level audio (balanced) converter. If the computer has a sound card, the input switch on the RGB 202xi will select the audio with the video (audio follow).

Although the input and output audio connectors are physically the same, they are used differently. See the illustration and the following descriptions for the correct wiring of audio inputs and outputs.

Audio Inputs – Connect the stereo audio sources for Input #1 and Input #2 (above). Each input connector includes contacts for left and right stereo and a common/ground connector. Input cables should be wired as follows:

•Stereo left to Tip (+) contact

•Stereo right to Ring (-) contact

•Both commons to Sleeve (Gnd) contact

Audio Output (Left & Right) – There is one audio output, using separate connectors for left and right channels. Connect the left and right output jacks to the inputs of an external audio system. The 3-contact outputs can be wired for balanced or unbalanced audio.

•For unbalanced audio, use Tip (+) and Sleeve (Gnd).

•For balanced audio, use Tip (+) and Ring (-).

_ Observe polarity when making connections to keep left and right channels in phase.
