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 RGB 192 and RGB 198’s audio capabilities and the RGB 198’s extended enclosure. 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 Installation and Operation Installation Overview This is an overview of the installation process. You will find detailed installation and operation instructions in this chapter. AU Install and set up the RGB 190F, RGB 192 or RGB 198 interfaces by following these basic steps: 1 Turn off all of the equipment (computers, remote controls, interface, projector/monitor, local monitor and speakers or other audio device). Disconnect the power cords from the power source.

Installation and Operation, cont’d 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. On — The interface uses DDSP, which does not process the sync signal. Alternatively, an Extron P/S 100 Universal 12VDC Power Supply can power up to six RGB 190F or RGB 192 interfaces using only one AC power connector. DDSP disables the horizontal and vertical centering controls.
Installation and Operation, cont’d CAUTION Wiring the audio incorrectly can damage the audio output circuits. Connect the sleeve(s) to ground (GND). Connecting the sleeve(s) to a negative (-) terminal will damage audio output circuits. R R Unbalanced Output Tip Ring Sleeve (s) Tip Ring L/ Mono L/ Mono Tip See caution Sleeve Tip See caution 5. To test the system setup and output, substitute a video test generator for the computer input.
