Introduction, cont’d Introduction About this Manual This manual contains information about the Extron RGB 202 Rxi and RGB 202 Rxi VTG universal interfaces and on how to operate and configure them. xi VTG About the RGB 202 Rxi xi and RGB 202 Rxi The RGB 202 Rxi is an analog computer-video interface with 300 MHz (-3dB) video bandwidth and Advanced Digital Sync Processing™. It accepts two computer-video and two unbalanced computer stereo audio inputs.
Introduction, cont’d Additional RGB 202 Rxi xi VTG feature Video test generator — The RGB 202 Rxi VTG includes a 4-resolution, 4-pattern video test generator to simplify system setup and testing.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Installation and Operation Installation and Operation Overview This is an overview of the installation process. You will find detailed installation and operation instructions in this chapter. To install and set up the RGB 202 Rxi and RGB 202 Rxi VTG interfaces, follow these basic steps: 1 Turn all of the equipment (computers, remote controls, interface, projector/monitor, local monitor, and speakers or other audio device) off.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Through-desk mounting Rack mounting 1. If rubber feet were installed on the interface, remove them. 2. Insert the machine screws (provided in the mounting kit) through the slots in the optional through-desk mounting brackets (part #70-077-02), and loosely attach the brackets to the interface. 3. Hold the interface with attached brackets against the underside of the desk/table. With a soft pencil mark the location of holes for screws on the desk.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Front Panel counterclockwise limit) provides no peaking. The maximum setting (at the clockwise limit) provides 100% peaking. Adjust this control while viewing the displayed image to obtain the optimum picture sharpness. The features described in this section apply to both models unless otherwise noted. RGB 202 R WITH ADSP TM 3 Vertical centering ( ) — While viewing the displayed image, rotate this control to move the image up or down on the screen.
Installation and Operation, cont’d 202 (interface)/VTG selection switch (RGB 202 Rxi VTG only) — Use this switch to select the output signal’s source 202 = The image from the interface (from input 1 or input 2) will be displayed. Rear Panel The features described in this section apply to both models. 100-240 0.2A VTG = A test pattern generated by the VTG (video test generator) will be displayed.
Installation and Operation, cont’d 8 — No Backlight — This switch controls illumination of the LCD backlight. 2 — SOG (sync on green) On — The interface outputs sync on green. On — The LCD backlight is off, except for three seconds at power-up. Off — The interface outputs both separate horizontal and vertical sync (on the H and V connectors) and composite sync (on the S connector) for RGBHV or RGBS, respectively.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Most laptop or notebook computers have an external video port, but they require special commands to output the video to that connector. Also, laptops’ screens shut off once that port is activated. See the computer’s user’s guide for details, or contact Extron for a list of laptop keyboard commands. Connect the unbalanced stereo audio sources (computer or (L) Sleeve (GND) other devices such as a CD player) to the front panel.
Installation and Operation, cont’d LCD Display xi VTG only) Operating the VTG (RGB 202 Rxi The RGB 202 Rxi and RGB 202 Rxi VTG’s front panel LCD display serves two main functions: to display the scanning rates of the input signal, and to indicate the horizontal and vertical centering limits. During VTG operation, the RGB 202 Rxi VTG’s LCD displays the VTG format, resolution and refresh rates.
Installation and Operation, cont’d 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. 6. If the image appears and is stable, but it has ghosting or blooming, check the high Z/75 ohm video input termination. If changing the termination doesn’t solve the problem, try using a different input cable. 7.
