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 green if the interface is receiving power.

3.Check the cabling and the audio connector wiring and grounding, and make adjustments as needed.

4.For digital display devices (including LCD, DLP and plasma devices), try turning DDSP on or off using the front panel DIP switch.

5.To test the system setup and output, substitute a video test generator for the computer input. Unplug the power cords of the input/output devices and the remote interface, replace the video source with a VTG, then reconnect the power cords to restore AC power.

6.Call Extron’s S3 Sales & Technical 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 front panel DIP switch.

4.If the picture “hangs off” the left or right edge of the screen, and an RGB 580xi S AAP, RGB 580xi CCS AAP, RGB 580xi SI AAP, or RGB 580xi CCSI AAP device is connected to the interface, adjust the AAP’s horizontal shift (H. Shift) control to center the image.

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 Peaking control setting. If the image is too bright or dark, try changing the Level control setting.
