Introduction Introduction, cont’d About this Manual This manual contains information about the Extron RGB 500 architectural series universal interfaces (RGB 500, RGB 500 Dual, RGB 508, RGB 560, RGB 560 Dual, and RGB 568) and on how to operate and configure them. About the RGB 500 Series Interfaces The RGB 500 Series interfaces are universal, analog, computer- video interfaces with 300 MHz (-3dB) video bandwidth.
Introduction, cont’d Local monitor pins — These DIP switches are used for routing local monitor signals for Macintosh 13” monitors and all other Mac/VGA-type monitors.

Installation and Operation Installation and Operation, cont’d Installing the RGB 500 Series Interfaces The Extron RGB 500 Series interfaces consist of a faceplate, an interface (or interfaces) in a metal enclosure, and wall mounting brackets. The RGB 508 and RGB 568 series interfaces may also include optional connector adapter plates.
Installation and Operation, cont’d injury to yourself or the cables during installation. Installing the mounting bracket with clips Place 1¼” (3.18 cm) long or ¾“ (1.9 cm), #6-32 machine screws (provided) through the holes in each corner of the mounting bracket. Use the shortest screw required. Loosely fasten (using 2-3 turns) a mounting backing clip on the end of each screw.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Bottom panel features SYNC VERT. POLARITY SYNC 12-24V AC/DC WIDTH Audio output captive screw connector — This 3.5 mm, 5-pole right angle captive screw (Phoenix) connector will be used for balanced/unbalanced audio output. Attach the five wires for audio output of ground, left and right channels to the connector;...
Installation and Operation, cont’d Polarity is not important: the positive or negative wire may be connected to either of the outer poles. Bottom panel DIP switches — These four DIP switches, numbered 1 to 4 from left to right, control the sync on green, serration pulse, DDSP and composite sync output options.
Installation and Operation, cont’d • Use the right two pins to increase the output signal and add 100% of the maximum peaking to the signal for very long cable runs. Red Adjustment (100% gain/peaking shown) Green Adjustment (Unity shown) Blue Adjustment (50% gain/peaking shown) Attaching audio output, power, and video output cables Once the switches have been set, attach the cables that will be...
Installation and Operation, cont’d Setting front panel switches Set the front panel switches before cabling and testing inputs. These examples will show 2-gang size interfaces, but they apply to both 2- and 4-gang sizes and to the EC models. Front panel features — RGB 500 series, RGB 508 series H.
Installation and Operation, cont’d 1 & 2 — Local monitor pins — These are used for routing local monitor signals for Macintosh 13” monitors and all other Mac/VGA-type monitors. 1 = ON and 2 = OFF — For Macintosh 13” monitors, set DIP switch 1 to On and 2 to Off for proper sync routing for the 15-pin HD local monitor output.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Pre-installation testing/troubleshooting Before completing the installation, test the system to make sure that the connections and interface settings are correct. Turn on the input device(s) (computer) and output device(s) (projector and/or monitor). The image should now display on the screen. If the image is not displayed at all, double-check cable connections, and ensure that all devices have power and are turned on.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Attaching the faceplate Attach the faceplate to the interface(s) using two 3/8” (0.95 cm) long #4-40 machine screws (provided) per two- gang size (four screws total for the RGB 500 Dual, RGB 508, RGB 560 Dual and RGB 568). Use the illustration on the opposite page as a guide.
