Introduction

This guide contains information about the Extron RGB-DVI 300, RGB-HDMI 300, and
RGB-HDMI 300 A video scalers and converters with instructions for experienced installers on
how to install, configure, and operate the equipment.
Unless otherwise specified, references in this guide to the "video converter" or "video scaler"
relate to the features or operation of all models. "RGB-HDMI 300 A" refers specifically to the
scaler with an audio input and "RGB-HDMI 300" refers specifically to the scaler without an audio
input. "RGB-HDMI 300 (A)" refers to both versions of the RGB-HDMI 300.

About the RGB-DVI 300 and RGB-HDMI 300 (A)

The RGB-DVI 300, RGB-HDMI 300, and RGB-HDMI 300 A are analog to digital video converters
with built-in scaling. The scalers accept a single RGB or HDTV component (R-Y, Y, B-Y) input
video signal at any standard RGB or HDTV component resolution, through a female 15-pin HD
connector.
The RGB-HDMI 300 and RGB-HDMI 300 A units are identical except that the RGB-HDMI 300 A
model has a rear panel, 3.5 mm TRS connector to accept an unbalanced audio signal. The audio
signal is embedded in the HDMI
A single video output at any of a large range of scaled resolutions and refresh rates is provided
through a DVI-I (RGB-DVI 300) or HDMI (RGB-HDMI 300 and RGB-HDMI 300 A) connector.
Input and output settings, picture controls, and advanced settings can be adjusted through the
front panel menu with on-screen display, using the Extron Signal Processing Products Control
Program (SPPCP), or by RS-232, using the Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands.

RGB-DVI 300 and RGB-HDMI 300 (A) Features

Accept all standard RGB and HDTV YUV inputs — These signals are input via a female 15-
pin HD connector (see page 4).
Scaling — Input sources are scaled to fit the native rate (or pixel size) of a display device. For a
list of valid resolutions, see the Output Resolutions and Refresh Rates table on page 9.
Multiple output resolutions — These units output an extensive range of DVI (or HDMI)
resolutions (from 640x480 to 1920x1200, including 1080p) and refresh rates (23.98 Hz to 75 Hz).
See the Output Resolutions and Refresh Rates table on page 9.
Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) emulation — The video converter emulates
EDID information on the VGA input to ensure the output device produces a signal to match the
requirements of the application.
Auto-Image™ — This feature automatically optimizes the image to the scaled output rate,
eliminating complex setup (see page 16).
Signal Processing Products Control Program (SPPCP) — This Windows® based software
provides a simple and intuitive graphical user interface to adjust input and output signals (see
page 23).
On-screen display menu — The menu options are accessed using front panel controls to
easily adjust input and output signals (see page 14).
