    Installation and Operation, cont’d H Sync J20 V Sync J21 Enable Sync Figure 2-2 — Location of jumpers and DIP switches Sync polarity jumpers The interface is factory configured for the output sync to follow the input sync. To force positive or negative sync, reconfigure the jumper as follows: Locate J9, J20, and J21 on the printed circuit board.
  • Page 17: Internal Sync Dip Switches (Rsgsbs)

    Internal sync DIP switches (RsGsBs) The interface is factory configured to strip all sync signals from the red, green, and blue video input signals and to output horizontal and vertical sync separately(RGBHV) or as composite sync (RGBS). Sync on green (SOG or RGsB) can be selected on a rear panel DIP switch.
  • Page 18: Mounting The Interface

    Installation and Operation, cont’d Mounting the Interface The interface can be mounted on tabletops, under desks, through desks, or on racks, as described in this section. Tabletop placement For tabletop or desktop placement only, install the self-adhesive rubber feet/pads (provided) onto the four corners of the bottom of the interface enclosure.
  • Page 19: Through-Desk Mounting

    Insert the four wood screws into the pilot holes. Fasten each screw into the installation surface until just less than 1/4" of the screw protrudes. Align the installed screws with the slots in the mounting brackets, and place the interface against the surface, with the screws through the bracket slots.
  • Page 20 Installation and Operation, cont’d Insert the machine screws provided in the optional mounting kit (part #70-077-02) through the slots in the through-desk mounting brackets, and loosely secure the brackets to the interface (figure 2-4). Hold the interface with attached brackets against the underside of the desk/table.
  • Page 21: Rack Mounting

    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: 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.
  • Page 22 Installation and Operation, cont’d False Front panel uses 2 front holes IN G Figure 2-5 — Rack mounting Secure the interface to the rack shelf with the two provided 4-40 x 1/8" machine screws. Insert the screws from the underside of the shelf, and securely fasten them through diagonally opposite corners as shown in the illustration above.

    Rear Panel Connections and Switches Figure 2-6 shows the rear panel of the RGB 201 Rxi. 100-240 0.2A INPUT 50/60 Hz Figure 2-6 — RGB 201 Rxi rear panel features Input — Connect an analog computer-video source to this 15- pin HD female connector.
  • Page 24 Installation and Operation, cont’d BNC output connectors — Connect a coaxial cable between the display (projector or monitor) and these rear panel BNC connectors. For RGBHV (separate H and V sync) output, connect the cables to five BNCs. For RGBS (composite sync), connect the cables to four BNCs.
  • Page 25 DIP switches — This bank of DIP switches is used to configure the interface. The switches control: • DDSP or ADSP • SOG (sync on green) • Serration pulses • Vertical sync pulse width • Mono or stereo audio • Backlight illumination.
  • Page 26 Installation and Operation, cont’d Up — The interface outputs serration pulses in the vertical sync interval. Down — The interface does not output serration pulses. 4 — Vertical sync pulse width — For some digital displays, if: • • • try adjusting the output vertical sync pulse width or switching from ADSP to DDSP.

  • Page 28: Operation

    Installation and Operation, cont’d Operation Connect power cords and turn on the display and audio output devices (projectors, monitors, speakers), the interface, and the input device (computer). The system is ready for operation. The image should now appear on screen, and sound should be audible.
  • Page 29: Centering Controls

    • 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.
  • Page 30: Centering Memory

    Installation and Operation, cont’d 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.
  • Page 31: Troubleshooting

    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.
  • Page 32: If The Image Is Not Correctly Centered

    Installation and Operation, cont’d 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.

  • Page 35: Error Responses

    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.
