NOTE:  If no video output is visible on the display, the output rate of the scaler can be toggled between 1024 x 768 at 
60 Hz and 720p at 60 Hz, without needing the on-screen menu. Hold the Menu button while applying power 
and the output rate is set to 1024 x 768 at 60 Hz during the first power on cycle. Hold the Menu button while 
applying power a second time and the output rate will toggle to 720p at 60 Hz.
Front Panel Controls
Use the Menu and Enter Buttons and 
two rotary encoders (shown in the 
figure at right) to open and navigate 
the menu, which is displayed on the 
connected output display device. A 
typical on-screen menu is shown in 
the figure at right.
Press the Menu button to display 
the top level menu. Use the rotary 
encoders to highlight menu items 
and the Enter button to select the 
highlighted item and move deeper 
into the menu. To move back one 
level, press the Menu button.
For complete information about 
configuring and controlling the unit 
through the front panel controls 
and the on-screen display, see the 
RGB-DVI 300 and RGB-HDMI 300 (A) 
User Guide, which is available online 
at www.extron.com.
SIS Commands and Control Software
To control and configure the unit, using SIS commands or the Extron 
Signal Processing Products Control Program, connect the serial port of a 
computer to either the RS-232 captive screw connector on the rear panel 
or the Config port TRS connector on the front panel.
Consult the diagrams and table at right to ensure the connections are 
wired correctly. Note that the Tx and Rx connections must cross over 
between the computer and the scaler.
For SIS control, the Extron DataViewer software can be downloaded 
from the Extron Web site at www.extron.com. The control program can 
also be downloaded from the Extron Web site.
For further information on controlling and configuring the scaler 
through SIS commands or control program, see the RGB-DVI 300 and 
RGB-HDMI 300 (A) User Guide, which is available online at 
www.extron.com.
