Introduction, cont’d Introduction About This Manual This manual contains information about the RGB 400 Series interfaces and on how to operate and configure them. RGB 400 Series About The RGB 400 Series Interfaces The RGB 400 Series are 300 MHz (-3dB) bandwidth, analog computer-video interfaces that can be mounted in walls or furniture. The RGB 400 and RGB 406 are two-gang wall plate size, the RGB 402 and RGB 404 are three-gang size, and the RGB 408 is four-gang size.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Installation and Operation Installation Overview To install and set up an RGB 400 Series interface, follow these basic steps: 2-2 1 Determine the installation location. 2 Prepare the site for installation. Use the supplied template to mark the rough-in cutout, then cut out the wallboard or wood. 3 Set the DIP (dual in-line package) switches and jumpers. These items will be inaccessible after installation.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Preparing the installation site and installing the wall box Actual-size rough-in templates for each model are provided in Appendix B. If needed, make a 100% size photocopy of the appropriate template to use for installation. Compare the photocopy with the faceplate and wall box to make sure the photocopy size is the same as the equipment.

Installation and Operation, cont’d Setting DIP switches and jumpers DIP switches and jumpers must be set and tested before the interface is secured into the wall box, wall or furniture. DIP switches ON 1 2 DIP switch module SW1 contains two DIP switches (SW1-1 and SW1-2). The module is located on the circuit board on the back of the interface, as shown on pages 2-6, SW1 2-7, 2-9, 2-11 and 2-13. In these illustrations, the On position is to the left.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Cabling RCA connectors Adapter Plate INP U AU TO T HIG HZ PO WER 75 H. SH IFT For composite video, solder the center conductor of a coaxial cable to the central solder cup of the RCA connector. Solder the cable’s shield to the grounded grounding tab. See the leftmost and center illustrations below.
Installation and Operation, cont’d If shielded twisted-pair wires are used for audio output for the RGB 404, RGB 406 or RGB 408, the shields should be connected to either pin 3 (RGB 406/408) or pins 3 and 8 (RGB 404) of the audio output captive screw connector. Twist the wires from the braided shield together to form a multi-strand wire, then insert it into the receptacle side of the captive screw connector. See the “Wiring audio output captive screw connectors” illustration on the next page.
Installation and Operation, cont’d output captive screw connector. See “Connecting shields” earlier in this chapter for details. Connecting audio cables — RGB 406, RGB 408 Using installation cable Extron’s Install Plenum bulk cable (shown here) is ideal for mountable interfaces such as the RGB 400 Series models. Six Mini, High-resolution Coaxial Conductors Each RGB 406 or RGB 408 accepts an unbalanced audio input from a front panel 3.
Installation and Operation, cont’d 3. Check the cabling and the audio connector wiring, and make adjustments as needed. 4. Verify that the High Z/75 Ohm video input termination toggle switch on the front panel has been set correctly. 5. For digital display devices (including LCD, DLP and plasma devices), try turning DDSP on or off using the rear panel SW1-2 DIP switch. 6. Call Extron’s customer support hotline if needed.
Installation and Operation, cont’d 4. For all models, carefully place the interface through the opening in the wall or furniture and into the wall box (if one is used). Take care not to damage the cables. 5. Mount the interface faceplate to the wall box with the provided machine screws (as shown below), or attach the interface directly to the furniture with wood or metal screws.
