Introduction About this Manual This manual documents two universal interfaces: RGB 160xi and RGB 164xi. Unless otherwise specified, any references to “the interface” refers to the features or operation of both interfaces. About the Interfaces The RGB 160xi and 164xi are universal interfaces with a video bandwidth of 300 MHz and a horizontal frequency range of 15-160 kHz. Features 2-color power/signal LED — When the interface is on, the power/signal LED lights amber.

Controls and Installation, cont’d Installation Installation overview Except where noted, the installation procedures for the various interface models are the same. See "Cabling" in this chapter for additional information. 2-4 1 If desired, mount the interface to an equipment rack (RGB 164xi only) or to or through a desk or other suitable surface using Extron’s optional mounting kit. See "Mounting the interface" in the next section. 2 Turn off power to the computer and its monitor.
Controls and Installation, cont’d Under desk mounting Mount the interface under a desk or in a podium, using an optional Extron MBU 125 Under-desk mount kit (part #70-077-01) as follows: 1. Through desk mounting Mount the interface through a desk or table, as follows: 1. Attach the mounting brackets to the interface using four machine screws supplied with the mounting kit (figure 2-6).
Controls and Installation, cont’d Cabling Figure 2-9 and figure 2-10 show how to connect the interfaces. AU DI O INPU 1. Connect the computer to the interface’s "Analog" connector (RGB 160xi) or "Computer" connector (RGB 164xi). Extron does not guarantee the performance of the interface if a low quality input cable is used. T ID PIN 4 ID PIN 11 Front Each interface can connect to the computer or workstation’s local monitor and to a projector or other display device. IVER SH SA IFT L IN TE 2.
Controls and Installation, cont’d DDSP™ (digital display sync processing) On — If this switch is set to on (up), the interface does not perform sync processing. This may be necessary for digital display devices, such as LCD (liquid crystal display), DLP (digital light processor) and plasma displays. Before connecting audio, determine whether your audio system is unbalanced or balanced.
Controls and Installation, cont’d Setting internal jumpers 3. The jumpers inside the interfaces are set at the factory for optimal use by most systems. However, you can change a jumper setting to meet the needs of a particular system. Changes to internal jumper settings must be performed by authorized service personnel only. Note the positions of jumpers J20 and J40 before changing jumper settings.
Controls and Installation, cont’d The jumpers perform the following functions: J20: Sync polarity jumper — This jumper adjusts the output sync polarity. Horizontal (H) and vertical (V) sync output can either follow input sync polarity, or be forced to negative. Follow Negative 1 • If the jumper is placed on pins 1 and 2, output H and V sync polarities is forced to negative.
