RGB 201 Rxi Universal Interface • Introduction  
1-2  
 
The interface is rack and furniture mountable and has an  
internal switching power supply for worldwide power  
compatibility.  
Features  
Flexible mounting options — The RGB 201 Rxi can be rack  
mounted, mounted under a desk or podium, or mounted  
through a desk or other furniture with optional mounting  
kits.  
Audio — The interface outputs unbalanced PC stereo audio  
inputs as line level, balanced stereo or mono audio.  
Level (boost) and peaking controls — Separate front panel  
controls compensate for signal losses from long cable  
runs.  
Horizontal and vertical centering controls — Separate front  
panel controls allow horizontal and vertical centering  
adjustments.  
Sync processing — Using regular sync processing to allow  
centering control (H-shift or V-shift) can create problems  
with some digital display devices as a result of the sync  
delay. Extron’s ADSP option maintains a stable sync  
signal while allowing centering control. This interface  
also provides another option, Digital Display Sync  
Processing (DDSP), to ensure proper displays without  
altering sync pulse timing or width. The sync processing  
type is selected via a rear panel DIP switch.  
Digital Sync Validation Processing — In critical environments  
or unmanned, remote locations, it is vital to know which  
sources are active. Extron’s exclusive DSVP confirms that  
input sources are active by scanning all sync inputs for  
active signals. DSVP provides instantaneous frequency  
feedback for composite sync or separate horizontal and  
vertical sync signals via the interface’s Remote port.  
Thirty memory presets — Thirty spaces are reserved in the  
interface’s memory for storing user-defined combinations  
of horizontal and vertical position settings based upon  
input signal scan rates. The interface automatically recalls  
the position settings when it detects an input signal with a  
matching scan rate.  
LCD scan rate indicator — This backlit liquid crystal display  
(LCD) indicates the horizontal and vertical sync rates,  
and the minimum and maximum centering limits. A DIP  
switch is provided for turning off the backlight.  
RGB 201 Rxi Universal Interface • Introduction  
1-3  
 
Introduction, cont’d  
RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, or RsGsBs outputs — Select the output  
format via cabling setup, rear panel DIP switch, and/or  
internal DIP switch configuration.  
Sync on green — Sync can be added to the green video  
signal, for an RGsB video output, by turning on a rear  
panel DIP switch.  
Sync on red, green, and blue — Sync can be added to the  
red and blue video signals, for an RsGsBs video output,  
by turning on internal DIP switches and a rear 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.  
Sync polarity adjustment — Horizontal and vertical sync  
output can either follow input sync polarity, or outgoing  
sync can be forced to negative via an internal jumper.  
Vertical sync pulse width adjustment Vertical sync pulse  
width can be adjusted via a rear panel DIP switch.  
Vented metal enclosure Vents in the enclosure keep the  
interface cool and ready for use 24 hours a day, 7 days per  
week.  
Automatic sync stripping — Sync signals are automatically  
stripped from the red, green and blue video input signals.  
The interface normally outputs sync simultaneously as  
separate horizontal and vertical sync and as composite  
sync, but sync on green (SOG) and sync on red, green, and  
blue can be selected on rear panel and/or internal DIP  
switch(es).

Ensure that both DIP switches are on.  
b.  
Turn the rear panel SOG DIP switch on (up).  
When both switches on the internal DIP switch SW2  
are on, the rear panel SOG switch controls the output  
format. When the SOG switch is on, the interface  
outputs RsGsBs video; when the SOG switch is off, the  
interface outputs RGBHV and RGBS video.

jumper block J20.  
For negative sync, ensure that the jumper is removed  
from jumper block J20.  
Video clamping jumper  
The interface is factory configured to clamp the sync timing to  
the back porch. To clamp the sync timing to the tip of the sync  
pulse, reconfigure the jumper as follows:  
1.  
2.  
Locate J11 on the printed circuit board.  
For sync timing clamped to the back porch, ensure that a  
jumper is in place from pin 1 to pin 2.

Rack mounting  
UL guidelines for rack mounting  
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines are  
relevant to the safe installation of these products in a rack:  
1.  
Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the unit  
is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the  
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment  
may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore,  
install the equipment in an environment compatible with  
the maximum ambient temperature (Tma: +122 °F, +50 ° C)  
specified by Extron.  
2.  
3.  
4.  
Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack  
so that the equipment gets adequate air flow for safe  
operation.  
Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack  
so that uneven mechanical loading does not create a  
hazardous condition.  
Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to  
the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit  
overloading might have on overcurrent protection and  
supply wiring. Give appropriate consideration to the  
equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this  
concern.  
5.  
Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable  
grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular  
attention to supply connections other than direct  
connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power  
strips).  
Rack mounting procedure  
1.  
If feet were installed on the bottom of the interface, remove  
them.  
2.  
Place the interface on one half of the 1U (one unit high,  
19" wide) optional rack shelf (part #60-190-01). Align the  
front of the interface with the front of the shelf, and align

switches, use a Tweeker or small screwdriver to slide the  
switch to the on/up/closed or off/down/open position.  
The default for all DIP switches is Off (down).  
1 — 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.  
Up — The interface uses DDSP instead of ADSP. DDSP  
does not process the sync signal.  
DDSP disables the horizontal and vertical centering  
controls.  
N
Down — The interface performs sync processing  
operations, such as centering, with ADSP.  
2 — Sync on green  
Up — The interface outputs a composite sync signal on top  
of the green video signal (SOG) via the G output connector  
(RGsB).  
Down — The interface outputs separate horizontal and  
vertical sync (on the H and V connectors) and composite  
sync (on the S connector) for RGBHV or RGBS.  
3 — Serration pulses — Many LCD and DLP projectors and  
plasma displays will not display properly if serration  
pulses are present in the sync signal. Flagging or bending  
at the top of the video image is a sign that the serration  
pulses should be removed.

no picture appears,  
the picture cuts in and out,  
the picture is scrambled,  
try adjusting the output vertical sync pulse width or  
switching from ADSP to DDSP.  
Up — The vertical sync pulse is narrow.  
Down — The vertical sync pulse is wide.  
5 — Monaural audio left  
Up — Mono audio is output on the left channel only.

BOOST  
If the interface receives a typical (0.7 volts p-p) analog  
computer video input, the output is as follows:  
At the minimum level setting (the counterclockwise limit of  
this control), the interface outputs video at 0.5 volts p-p.  
Unity level is 0.7 volts p-p, the same as the input signal.  
Set the control to just before the boost range (indicated  
by the red line on the interface, the shaded area on the  
illustration on the previous page) to output unity level  
video.  
RGB 201 Rxi Universal Interface • Installation and Operation  
2-16  
 
At the maximum level setting (the clockwise limit of this  
control), the interface outputs video at 1.45 volts p-p.  
Select a setting in the boost range (0.7 volts and above),  
to compensate for the decrease in signal level that occurs  
when the signal passes through long cables.  
Set the boost at 100% (the maximum level) for cable  
lengths over 500 feet for all computer signals of 15 kHz to  
150 kHz.  
Peaking (Peak) control — Peaking affects the sharpness of a  
picture. Increased peaking can compensate for detail (mid- and  
high-frequency) loss from low bandwidth system components  
or capacitance in long cables. The minimum setting (at the  
counterclockwise limit) provides no peaking. The maximum  
setting (at the clockwise limit) provides 100% peaking. Adjust  
this control while viewing the displayed image to obtain the  
optimum picture sharpness.  
b
Centering controls  
Many projectors store centering information in their own  
memories based on signal frequency. When a projector displays  
video from different input sources that have the same frequency,  
one source’s images may not be centered. Using the interface’s  
centering controls eliminates that problem.  
{
Vertical centering ( ) — While viewing the displayed image,  
c
d
rotate this control to move the image up or down on the screen.  
During centering adjustment, the LCD displays V-SHIFT, and  
it indicates the vertical shift minimum or maximum limit when  
the centering limit has been reached. See the notes below item  
4
.
[
Horizontal centering ( ) — While viewing the displayed  
image, rotate this control to move the image to the right or left  
on the screen. During centering adjustment, the LCD displays  
H-SHIFT, and it indicates the horizontal shift minimum or  
maximum limit when the centering limit has been reached.  
DDSP disables the interface’s vertical and horizontal  
centering controls. If DIP switch 1 (DDSP) is set to On  
and either centering control is rotated, the LCD displays  
N/A DDSP ON.  
N
To use the display’s centering controls rather than the  
interface’s controls, set the DDSP DIP switch to On.  
RGB 201 Rxi Universal Interface • Installation and Operation  
2-17  
 
Installation and Operation, cont’d  
The centering controls have no mechanical limits to  
N
rotation. When the minimum or maximum limit of  
the control is reached, LCD indicates the horizontal or  
vertical shift limit has been reached and the picture stops  
moving on the screen.  
Centering memory  
Turning the centering knobs not only moves the images, but it  
also stores the horizontal and vertical centering setting in the  
interface’s memory. The interface recalls the centering settings  
each time it detects a change in the input frequency. Centering  
adjustments only need to be set once for an application because  
the settings are saved even when the power is off.  
LCD display  
LCD display — The LCD displays the horizontal and vertical  
scanning rates of the input signal and indicates the horizontal  
and vertical centering status and limits.  
e
LCD screen backlight  
The LCD backlights for 15 seconds at power-up, and it remains  
backlit as long as an input signal is present. To force the  
backlight to remain off at all times except at power-up, set DIP  
switch 6 (No Backlight) on the rear panel to On (up).  
Scan rate indication  
When the interface is powered on, the LCD lights for 15 seconds  
while it determines whether an input sync signal is present. If  
DIP switch 6 is set to On (up), the LCD lights for three seconds  
only.  
If the interface does not detect an input sync signal,  
the LCD goes dark and displays NO SIGNAL until the  
interface receives an active sync signal.  
If the interface detects an input sync signal, the LCD  
displays the horizontal and vertical scan rates (sync  
frequencies) in the following format:  
Hxxx.xxk  
Vxxx.xHz  
The first line shows the horizontal rate in kilohertz, and  
the second line shows the vertical rate in Hertz.  
Centering indications  
{
[
While the vertical ( ) or horizontal ( ) centering (shift)  
controls are being adjusted, the LCD displays H-SHIFT or  
V-SHIFT. That message remains on the LCD (in place of the  
scan rates) until the centering control has been inactive for  
3 seconds.  
RGB 201 Rxi Universal Interface • Installation and Operation  
2-18  
 
When a centering control reaches its minimum or maximum  
limit, the LCD displays MIN or MAX on the line below H-SHIFT  
or V-SHIFT.  
Once the centering controls are no longer active, the centering  
settings are saved, and the LCD displays the current scan rates.  
If DIP switch 1 (DDSP) on the rear panel is set to On (right) and  
a centering control is rotated, the LCD displays N/A DDSP ON,  
and the image does not shift on screen.  
Troubleshooting  
Turn on the input device (computer, audio device) and output  
device(s) (projector, monitors, speakers) and plug in the  
interface’s AC power cord. The image should now appear on  
the screen, and sound should be audible.  
If the image does not appear or there is no sound  
1.  
2.  
Ensure that all devices are plugged in.  
Make sure that each device is receiving power. The  
interface’s front panel LED lights if the interface is  
receiving power and an active sync signal.  
3.  
4.  
Check the cabling and the audio connector wiring and  
grounding, and make adjustments as needed.  
For digital display devices (including LCD, DLP and  
plasma devices), try turning DIP switch 1 (DDSP) On (up)  
or Off (down) on the rear panel.  
5.  
6.  
To test the system setup and output, substitute a stand-  
alone video test generator (VTG) for the computer input.  
Unplug the power cords to the input and output devices  
and the interface, replace the video source with a VTG,  
then reconnect power cords to restore AC power.  
Call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline if  
needed.  
If the image is not displayed correctly  
1.  
If the output image looks too green, the sync on green  
(SOG) DIP switch (switch 2) may be set to On (up), and  
the display device may not be configured to handle SOG  
signals. Set the switch to Off (down).  
2.  
3.  
If the picture bends or flags at the top of the screen, set the  
serration pulse DIP switch (switch 3) to Off (down).  
For a display device that experiences intermittent glitches,  
try turning DDSP On (up) or Off (down) using DIP switch  
1 on the rear panel.

5.  
If the picture “hangs off” the edges of the screen, adjust the  
centering controls ( , ).  
[{  
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 Level/Boost or Peak Control settings. If the  
image is too bright, decrease the boost or peaking level.  
6.  
If the image still does not display correctly, call the Extron  
S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline.  
If the interface does not respond to controls  
If the picture does not move on screen when the horizontal and  
vertical centering controls are rotated, DDSP is in use. Set DIP  
switch 1 (DDSP) on the rear panel to Off (down).  
If the image is not correctly centered  
If the picture from a new source computer does not seem  
correctly centered, the input position memory presets might  
require resetting. Reset the input position memories as follows:  
1.  
2.  
Unplug the interface’s AC power cord.  
Open the interface. See Internal Configuration in this  
chapter.  
3.  
4.  
Install a jumper in jumper block J22 (figure 2-2).  
Plug in the interface’s AC power cord, wait approximately  
5 seconds, and then unplug the AC power cord.  
5.

The RS-232 protocol of the rear panel Remote connector is 9600  
baud, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.  
Simple Instruction Set Control  
Host-to-interface communications  
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No  
special characters are required to begin or end a command  
sequence. When a command is valid, the interface executes  
the command and sends a response to the host device. All  
responses from the interface to the host end with a carriage  
]
return and a line feed (CR/LF = ), which signals the end of the  
response character string. A string is one or more characters.  
Interface-initiated messages  
When a local event such as a front panel or contact closure  
selection or adjustment takes place, the interface sends a  
message to the host. No response is required from the host. The  
interface-initiated messages are listed here (underlined).

powers on. Vx.xx is the firmware version number.  
]
RECONFIG  
When a change is made via a front panel control or another  
operation occurs that must be written to a new memory block,  
the interface sends the reconfiguration message. No response is  
required from the RS-232 host, but the host may request a new  
status listing via the request information command (I/i). See the  
command/response table in this chapter for details.  
RGB 201 Rxi Universal Interface • Remote Control

Error responses  
When the interface receives a valid SIS command, it executes  
the command and sends a response to the host device. If  
the interface is unable to execute the command because the  
command is invalid or it contains invalid parameters, it returns  
an error response to the host.  
The error response codes and their descriptions are as follows:  
E10 – Invalid command  
E13 – Invalid value (the number is out of range/too large)  
Timeout  
Pauses of 10 seconds or longer between command ASCII  
characters result in a timeout. The command operation is  
aborted with no other indication.

Control Software for Windows  
The included RGB 201 control program, graphical control  
software for Windows, offers another way to control the  
interface. The control software is compatible with Windows 3.1,  
3.11, 95/98, and above.  
Installing the software  
The control program is contained on a set of 3.5-inch diskettes,  
and, if you choose to use it, must be installed on and run from  
the hard drive.  
To install the software onto the hard drive, run SETUP.EXE from  
the installation disk #1, and follow the instructions that appear  
on the screen. The program requires approximately 1.5 MB  
(megabyte) of hard disk space.  
By default the installation creates a C:\RGB201 directory, and it  
places two icons (RGB 201 Control Pgm and RGB 201 Help) into  
a group or folder named “Extron Electronics”.  
Using the software  
To run the control program, follow these steps:  
1.  
Double-click on the RGB 201 Control Pgm  
icon in the Extron Electronics group or  
folder, or on the Rgb201.exe icon in the  
C:\RGB201 directory. The Comm menu  
appears on the screen.  
2.  
Click on the comm port that is connected to the interface’s  
RS-232 port. The control software checks for the interface  
at that port and reads its configuration.  
The control program window (Figure 3-2) appears and  
displays current settings.
