Introduction, cont’d Introduction About this Manual This manual contains information about the Extron RGB 500 architectural series universal interfaces (RGB 500, RGB 500 Dual, RGB 508, RGB 560, RGB 560 Dual, and RGB 568) and on how to operate and configure them. About the RGB 500 Series Interfaces The RGB 500 Series interfaces are universal, analog, computervideo interfaces with 300 MHz (-3dB) video bandwidth.
Introduction, cont’d Local monitor pins — These DIP switches are used for routing local monitor signals for Macintosh 13” monitors and all other Mac/VGA-type monitors.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Installation and Operation Installing the RGB 500 Series Interfaces The Extron RGB 500 Series interfaces consist of a faceplate, an interface (or interfaces) in a metal enclosure, and wall mounting brackets. The RGB 508 and RGB 568 series interfaces may also include optional connector adapter plates. Installation hardware is included with each interface.
Installation and Operation, cont’d injury to yourself or the cables during installation. Installing the mounting bracket with clips 1. Place 1¼” (3.18 cm) long or ¾“ (1.9 cm), #6-32 machine screws (provided) through the holes in each corner of the mounting bracket. Use the shortest screw required. Loosely fasten (using 2-3 turns) a mounting backing clip on the end of each screw. 2. Insert the mounting bracket into the opening in the wall. 4. Insert the bracket back into the hole. 5. Use four ½” (1.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Bottom panel features 2 NOTE 1 2 3 4 It is not important which wire (positive or negative) connects to which outer pole of the 3-pole captive screw power connector. • The center pole is not used. • AC or DC power may be used. 5 Sync polarity jumper switch — This jumper switch adjusts the output sync polarity. Horizontal and vertical Negative Follow sync output can either follow input sync polarity, or be forced to negative.
Installation and Operation, cont’d 5 Polarity is not important: the positive or negative wire may be connected to either of the outer poles. 6 Blue (B) output connector — BNC female connector for blue video output. Bottom panel DIP switches — These four DIP switches, numbered 1 to 4 from left to right, control the sync on green, serration pulse, DDSP and composite sync output options. 7 Green (G) output connector — BNC female connector for green video output.
Installation and Operation, cont’d • Use the right two pins to increase the output signal and add 100% of the maximum peaking to the signal for very long cable runs. 1. Insert the adapter plate screws through the holes in the faceplate. Attach the adapter plates to the faceplate with the provided captive washers and #4-40 nuts. ity Un B RG ace terf s In rie Se 500 33 -5 11 -0 Adapter Plate H.

Installation and Operation, cont’d • Setting front panel switches Set the front panel switches before cabling and testing inputs. These examples will show 2-gang size interfaces, but they apply to both 2- and 4-gang sizes and to the EC models. Front panel features — RGB 500 series, RGB 508 series 5 Computer video input 9-pin D male connector Front panel features — RGB 560 series, RGB 568 series BUFFERED LOCAL MONITOR H. SHIFT H.
Installation and Operation, cont’d 1 & 2 — Local monitor pins — These are used for routing local monitor signals for Macintosh 13” monitors and all other Mac/VGA-type monitors. 1 = ON and 2 = OFF — For Macintosh 13” monitors, set DIP switch 1 to On and 2 to Off for proper sync routing for the 15-pin HD local monitor output. This is used with Extron Macintosh cable adapter kits #70-078-01 and #70-078-02, which include audio connections.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Pre-installation testing/troubleshooting Before completing the installation, test the system to make sure that the connections and interface settings are correct. 1. 2. 3. Turn on the input device(s) (computer) and output device(s) (projector and/or monitor). The image should now display on the screen. Mounting the interface to the mounting bracket 1.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Attaching the faceplate 1. Attach the faceplate to the interface(s) using two 3/8” (0.95 cm) long #4-40 machine screws (provided) per twogang size (four screws total for the RGB 500 Dual, RGB 508, RGB 560 Dual and RGB 568). Use the illustration on the opposite page as a guide. 2. Insert the interface and attached cables into the opening in the wall or furniture, taking care not to damage the cables. 3. Attach the faceplate to the mounting bracket with four 3/8” (0.
