Introduction This section provides an overview of this guide and describes the RGB 460xi architectural interface series and its features. Topics that are covered include: • About this Manual • About the RGB 460xi Series • Features • Application Examples About this Manual This manual describes the Extron RGB 460xi Series of universal wall, furniture, and floor box mountable interfaces and explains how to configure and operate them.
Features • Horizontal shifting control — The displayed image may be shifted to the left or right by turning a front panel knob. • Advanced Digital Sync Processing (ADSP™) — ADSP allows sync processing operations, such as horizontal centering, to occur without affecting the sync timing of the signal. This allows horizontal centering to be applied to signals that are output to digital display devices such as LCD projectors, DLP projectors and plasma displays.
Installation and Operation This section outlines installation and describes the front and rear panel features and how to cable the RGB 460 series.
UL Guidelines To comply with Underwriters Laboratories (UL) safety requirements, the following minimum guidelines must be followed: • The interface must not be used beyond its rated voltage range. • The interface must be installed in a UL Listed junction box. • The interface must be installed with conduit in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
Audio Plugs.eps a Faceplate screws — These screws secure the faceplate to the rest of the interface. CAUTION: Do not remove these faceplate screws while the interface is attached to the wall or the detached interface may fall down inside the wall. Tip (+) b Power and signal LED — This LED lights: • Yellow to indicate the interface is receiving power. • Green Sleeve ( ) Connector to indicate the interface is receiving power and thatRCA an active sync signal is present at the input.
Audio Plugs.eps k l Tip (+) RCA audio connectors (RGB 464xi ) — Connect the left audio signal cable to the white RCA connector (k – L/Mono), and the right audio signal cable to the red RCA connector (l – R) for unbalanced stereo audio pass‑through input. Wire the RCA plugs as shown at right. Sleeve ( ) RCA Connector NOTE: When a mono audio signal is applied to the L/Mono input, the same signal is output to both left and right audio outputs.
Rear Panel Features and Cabling 6 7 2 3 8 4 9 1 5 5 Figure 4. RGB 464xi Interface, Rear Panel This bank of DIP switches, shown below, controls sync on green a DIP switches — output, composite sync output, DDSP, serration pulse output, vertical sync pulse width, and composite sync routing. Moving a switch up sets it "On" and moving it down sets it "Off". In the illustration below, switch 7 is shown in the “On” position. Closed / On 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Open / Off Figure 5.
4 — Serration pulse — Many LCD, DLP projectors and plasma displays must have serration pulses removed from the sync signal in order to display the image properly. Flagging or bending at the top of the video image is a sign the serration pulses should be removed. Off — The interface does not output serration pulses. On — The interface outputs serration pulses in the vertical sync interval.
c Gain switch — To compensate for cable resistance and capacitance, set this switch to select the level of video gain that yields the sharpest picture. Normal (bottom position) Unity gain (no signal boost). Medium (middle position) Mid-level peaking and gain. Maximum (top position) Maximum amount of peaking and gain. (Select this for use with longer cables.
e Audio output connector — Insert wires into and tighten the screws on this 3.5 mm, 5-pole, direct insertion captive screw connector for unbalanced or balanced audio output. Wire the connector as shown here. CAUTION: For unbalanced stereo output, connect the sleeves to the ground contact. DO NOT connect the sleeves to the negative (–) contacts.
Mounting Adapter Plates (AAPs or MAAPs) All AAPs and MAAPs should be mounted before the interface is installed in a wall or furniture. Each AAP has standoffs (screws built into the rear panel) and nuts, which can be used to secure the AAP to the interface. MAAPs are mounted from the front using hex screws. 1. Insert the AAP or MAAP standoffs into the screw holes in the interface. 2.
Pre-installation Testing Before installing the interface into the wall, furniture, or floor box, test the system to verify the connections and settings are correct. 1. Apply power to the interface. The power LED on the interface lights to indicate the interface is receiving power. 2. Power up and check all connected devices and the interface controls for proper function.
