Introduction, cont’d Introduction Each RGB interface has two or more model options: About this Manual This manual contains information about the Extron RGB 190F, RGB 192, and RGB 198 universal interfaces, detailing how to operate and configure them. The three interfaces are functionally identical, with the exception of the audio capabilities of the RGB 192 and RGB 198. All interfaces are described in this manual; differences are noted where they exist.
Introduction, cont’d RGBHV, RGBS, or RGsB outputs — Select the output format via cabling setup and front panel DIP switch. Serration pulse switch — This DIP switch-selectable feature adds or strips the serration pulses from the output signal to make it compatible with digital display devices. Use the serration pulse switch if flagging or bending occurs at the top of the video display.

Installation and Operation, cont’d 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 based on the following: 6" Deep Rack Shelf 1/4 Rack Width Front False Faceplate Front false faceplate uses 2 screws. For the RGB 190 and RGB 192, mark the opening approximately 1.0" x 5.7" ( 2.5 cm x 14.5 cm). For the RGB 198, mark the opening approximately 1.75" x 13.0" (4.5 cm x 33.0 cm).

The switches control: • Level • SOG (sync on green) • Serration pulses • DDSP • Monitor or no monitor (ID bit termination) • Mono or stereo audio (RGB 192 and 198 only, spare on RGB 190F) UNIVERSAL INTERFACE AUDIO SERR SOG LEVEL DDSP NO MON. M .
Installation and Operation, cont’d 4 — DDSP DDSP disables all sync processing. This feature may be necessary for digital display devices such as LCD, DLP (digital light processor) and plasma displays. Use this option if the image is not displayed properly after other options, such as serration pulse and video termination changes, have been tried. To verify the polarity before connection, check the no-load power supply output with a voltmeter.
Installation and Operation, cont’d CAUTION 4. For digital display devices (including LCD, DLP and plasma devices), try turning the DDSP DIP switch (switch 4) On (up) or Off (down) on the front panel. Connect the sleeve(s) to ground (GND). Connecting the sleeve(s) to a negative (-) terminal will damage audio output circuits. 5. To test the system setup and output, substitute a video test generator for the computer input.
