RGB 460xi xi Series 1 Chapter One Introduction About this Manual About the RGB 460xi Series Features
About this Manual This manual describes the Extron RGB 460xi series of universal wall, furniture, and floor box mountable interfaces and explains how to configure and operate them. Unless otherwise noted, the term “RGB 460xi” or “interface” is used throughout this manual to refer collectively to all models in the RGB 460xi Series. Detailed mounting instructions are available in other Extron documentation: • For wall box installations, refer to one of the available wall box installation guides.
Features Horizontal shifting control — The displayed image may be shifted to the left or right by turning a front panel knob. Advanced Digital Sync Processing™ (ADSP™) — ADSP allows sync processing operations, such as horizontal centering, to occur without affecting the signal’s sync timing. This allows horizontal centering to be applied to signals that are output to digital display devices such as LCD projectors, DLP projectors and plasma displays.

Installation Overview CAUTION Installation and service should be performed by authorized personnel only. UL Listed electrical boxes are recommended. See “UL requirements” in this chapter. To install and set up an RGB 460xi Series interface, follow these steps: 1 Turn off all equipment. Disconnect the computer, the interface, and the output devices (e.g., projector/monitor, speakers, etc.) from the power source. 2 If applicable, prepare the site as explained in the appropriate installation guide.
Front Panel Features and Cabling 6 The RGB 460xi Dual (not pictured) consists of two RGBxi interfaces placed side-by-side on a 4-gang faceplate. RGB 460xi 1 MONITOR H. SHIFT 7 2 INPUT MIN/MAX 8 NO MONITOR 3 MONITOR 9 7 AUDIO 10 RGB 464xi RGB 460xi 4 1 5 H.
1 Faceplate screws — These screws secure the faceplate to the rest of the interface. CAUTION 2 Do not remove these faceplate screws while the interface is attached to the wall or the detached interface may fall down inside the wall. Power/signal LED — This LED lights • Yellow to indicate that the interface is receiving power. • Green to indicate that an active sync signal is present at the input and the interface is receiving power.
9 xi Composite video connector (RGB 464xi xi) — This female RCAto-BNC type connector provides pass-through capability for composite video input. 10 xi S-video pass-through connector (RGB 464xi xi) — Connect an Svideo source to this 4-pin mini DIN pass-through connector. 11 12 xi RCA audio connectors (RGB 464xi xi) — Connect the left audio signal cable to the white RCA connector (L/Mono), and the right audio signal cable to the red RCA connector (R) for unbalanced stereo audio pass-through input.
Blank plates (two single space and one double space) are included with the interfaces to cover unused spaces. Adapter plates must be ordered separately (see “Adapter Plates” in appendix A). They must also be attached to the faceplate and cabled before the interface is installed in the wall or furniture. The screws needed for installing the adapter plates are supplied (MAAPs), or built into the plates (AAPs), so no additional screws are needed. 1.
1 DIP switches — This bank of DIP switches, as illustrated below, controls sync on green output, composite sync output, DDSP (Digital Display Sync Processing), serration pulse output, vertical sync pulse width, and composite sync routing. Moving a switch up will set it to “On” and moving it down will set it to “Off”. Closed / On 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Open / Off The default for all DIP switches, except for switch 7, is Off (down).
5 — Vertical sync pulse width — Try adjusting the output vertical sync pulse width if no picture appears, the picture cuts in and out, or the picture is scrambled. Off — The vertical sync pulse is wide. On — The vertical sync pulse is narrow. You can also try switching from ADSP to DDSP, as explained in the description for DIP switch 3 on the previous page. 6 — Negative sync — This switch controls sync polarity. Off — Output sync polarity follows (is the same as) input polarity.
If the signal cable between the interface and the output device is shorter than approximately 125 feet, and the gain switch is set to Medium or Maximum, the image may be overcompensated. If the edges of the image seem to exceed their boundaries, or if thin lines and sharp edges look thick and fuzzy, try changing the gain/ peaking setting. The gain switch will be inaccessible after installation, so adjust the gain before installing the interface into a wall or furniture.
Euro Channel and Floor Box Versions The RGB 460xi and RGB 468xi are available in a Euro Channel (EC) version, the RGB 460xi is available in two floor box models (MK and FSR), and the RGB 468xi AKM UK is designed for Ackermann floor boxes. (See appendix A for part numbers.) The front and rear panel features, cabling requirements, and testing/troubleshooting procedures are identical to the descriptions shown in this chapter for the wall box models.
4. Be sure to include the AAP/MAAP connectors as part of the installation pretest before final installation of the interface. For more information about interface installation, refer to the appropriate installation guide. Pre-installation Testing Before installing the interface into the wall, furniture, or floor box, test the system as follows to verify that the connections and settings are correct. 1. Apply power to the interface.
terminated. If the problem is not resolved by changing the termination, try using a different input cable. Poor quality or damaged cable can cause ghosting or blooming. 3. If the picture still is not displayed correctly, call the Extron S3 Sales and Technical Support Hotline. If the interface does not respond to horizontal shifting If the picture does not move on screen when the horizontal shift control knob is rotated, DDSP is in use. Set the DDSP DIP switch to Off.
