About The RGB 400 Series Interfaces The RGB 400 Series are 300 MHz (-3dB) bandwidth, analog computer-video interfaces that can be mounted in walls or furniture. The RGB 400 and RGB 406 are two-gang wall plate size, the RGB 402 and RGB 404 are three-gang size, and the RGB 408 is four-gang size.
Installation and Operation Installation and Operation, cont’d Installation Overview To install and set up an RGB 400 Series interface, follow these basic steps: Determine the installation location. Prepare the site for installation. Use the supplied template to mark the rough-in cutout, then cut out the wallboard or wood.
Attach the wall box to the wall stud (2 x 4) with nails or screws, leaving the front edge flush with the wall surface, as shown in the following illustration. RGB 400 Series Installation and Operation Wall Stud Wall Box...

Insulate the soldered connections to prevent shorts.
The audio signals are converted from unbalanced to balanced signals as they pass through the RGB 404. As a result, two output signals are produced for each input RGB 400 Series Installation and Operation 2-18 signal. For example, the input signals from the left side of channel one (CH1L) are output as CH1L+ and CH1L-.
Attaching power cables Each RGB 400 Series interface requires an external voltage source of 12 to 24 volts AC or DC (250 mA maximum, 5 W). The interfaces are supplied with a power cord of twisted- pair wire soldered to the circuit board.
(SOG), and the display device may not be configured to handle SOG signals. The RGB 400 Series interfaces do not strip sync from the video input signals. If the picture bends or flags at the top of the screen, set the serration pulse DIP switch (SW1-1) to Off.
