Introduction

About this Manual

This manual contains information about the Extron RGB 500 architectural series universal interfaces (RGB 500, RGB 500 Dual, RGB 508, RGB 560, RGB 560 Dual, and RGB 568) and on how to operate and configure them.

About the RGB 500 Series Interfaces

The RGB 500 Series interfaces are universal, analog, computer- video interfaces with 300 MHz (-3dB) video bandwidth. The series features Extron’s ADSP™ (Advanced Digital Sync Processing™) to ensure stable sync signal output, while allowing trouble-free centering control.

Features

RGB 500 Series features

All RGB 500 Series interfaces provide the following features:

Wall and furniture mountability — The RGB 500 Series interfaces can be easily installed in any wall or hard surface, such as a podium, desk, or tabletop, using few tools. Wall studs are not needed for installation.

Digital sync processing — Using regular sync processing to allow centering control (H-shift) can create problems with some digital display devices as a result of the sync delay. Extron’s ADSP™ (Advanced Digital Sync Processing™) restores a stable sync signal, while allowing centering control. The RGB 500 Series interfaces also provide another option, DDSP™ (Digital Display Sync Processing™), to ensure proper displays without altering sync pulse timing or width. It may be selected via a bottom panel DIP switch.

Horizontal shift control — Adjust horizontal centering via a front panel knob.

RGBHV, RGBS or RGsB outputs — Select the output format via bottom panel DIP switches.

Serration pulse switch — This DIP switch-selectable feature adds or strips the serration pulses from the signal to make it compatible with digital display devices. Use the serration pulse switch if flagging or bending occurs at the top of the video display.

Gain/peaking adjustment — Output gain and peaking levels may be adjusted individually for red, green and blue channels by using jumpers that are accessible through the top of the enclosure.

Sync polarity adjustment — Horizontal and vertical sync output can either follow input sync polarity, or outgoing sync can be forced to negative via jumper settings.

Vertical sync pulse width adjustment — Vertical sync pulse width can be adjusted via jumper settings.

Autopower — When a signal is present at the video/sync input, the interface will power on, and the green LED on the front panel will light.

Stereo audio — All RGB 500 Series interfaces accept unbalanced stereo audio and output balanced or unbalanced stereo audio.

Choice of colors — The RGB 500 Series interfaces are available with a choice of gray, black or white faceplates to blend into a variety of installations.

RGB 500, RGB 500 Dual, and RGB 508 feature

Video input termination selection switch — A front panel toggle switch provides a way to switch between high Z and 75 ohm video input termination on these models. Select the video termination impedance that provides the best picture. Set this switch to High Z if a local monitor is connected, a laptop breakout cable is used, or if the picture is too dark. Set this switch to 75 ohms if no local monitor is connected or if the picture is too bright or blooming (unterminated).

RGB 500 Dual and RGB 560 Dual feature

Two interfaces — The Dual models feature two interfaces with one integrated faceplate.

RGB 508 and RGB 568 feature

Connector adapter plates — The RGB 508 and RGB 568 offer the ability to attach up to four optional adapter plates for user-configurable pass-through connectors.

RGB 560, RGB 560 Dual, and RGB 568 features

Local monitor output connector — A 15-pin HD female local monitor connector on the front panel simplifies connections to a local display without the need for monitor breakout cables.

ID bit termination switch — These models feature front panel DIP switches to make ID bit termination easy. Use this feature if no local monitor is connected.
