Pre-installation testing/troubleshooting

Before completing the installation, test the system to make sure that the connections and interface settings are correct.

1.Turn on the input device(s) (computer) and output device(s) (projector and/or monitor). The image should now display on the screen.

2.If the image is not displayed at all, double-check cable connections, and ensure that all devices have power and are turned on. For the RGB 500 series and RGB 508 series, try changing the video termination toggle switch setting. For the RGB 560 series and RGB 568 series, if no local monitor is present, change the ID bit termination via the front panel DIP switch, then reboot the computer.

3.If the image appears, but it looks scrambled or cuts in and out, check the bottom and front panel DIP switch and jumper settings. If all switches are already set to what should be the correct settings for the connected input and output devices, try different settings.

If the display device is digital (including LCD, DLP, and plasma devices), try changing the vertical sync pulse width (using the bottom panel jumper).

Next try changing the sync options (sync on green, composite sync), sync polarity, or serration pulse options, or switch from ADSP to DDSP. You may need to use a combination of settings to achieve a proper display.

4.If the image appears and is stable, but it appears faint or fuzzy, increase the output gain/peaking by changing the top panel jumpers. If the image is too bright, decrease the gain/peaking level.

5.If the image displays and is stable, but it has a greenish tint, it may be a result of using video input with sync on green. Incoming sync on green will not be stripped from the green signal by the interface.

6.If the image appears and is stable, but it has ghosting or blooming, change the video input termination. If changing the termination doesn’t solve the problem, try using a different input cable.

7.For further assistance, call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline.

8.Once the image displays correctly on screen, you may adjust the horizontal centering using the front panel knob, though this adjustment must be made each time the interface is turned on.

Mounting the interface to the mounting bracket

1.

Temporarily disconnect the computer video and audio

 

input cables and (for the RGB 560 series and RGB 568

 

series) the local monitor output cable from the front panel

 

of the interface.

2.

For all models, attach the interface to the mounting

 

bracket with one 3/8” (0.95 cm) long #4-40 machine screw

 

(provided) inserted through the tab at the top of the

 

enclosure, as shown below.
