Introduction 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.
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 allows sync processing operations, such as horizontal centering, to occur without affecting the sync timing of the signal.

S-video pass-through connector (RGB 464xi) — Connect an S-video source to this 4-pin mini DIN pass-through connector. RCA audio connectors (RGB 464xi) — Connect the left audio signal cable to the white RCA connector ( k L/Mono), and the right audio signal cable to the red RCA connector ( l R) for...
Installation and Operation, cont’d 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 “AAP/MAAP Availability” in appendix A). They must also be attached to the faceplate and cabled before the interface is installed in the wall or furniture.

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 sets it "On" and moving it down sets it "Off". The default for all DIP switches, except for switch 7, is Off (down).

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.
Installation and Operation, cont’d 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.
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 the connections and settings are correct.
Installation and Operation, cont’d If the picture appears and is stable, but it has ghosting or blooming, verify the video input is properly 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.
