If the picture “hangs off” the left or right edge of the screen, and an RGB 580xi S AAP, RGB 580xi CCS AAP, RGB 580xi SI AAP, or RGB 580xi CCSI AAP device is connected to the interface, adjust the AAP’s horizontal shift (H.
Operation There are two ways to control the horizontal shifting feature of an RGB 580xi remote interface: by using the AAP horizontal shift (H. shift) control, or by using an RS-232 remote control device. RS-232 Programmer’s Guide The interface can be remotely controlled via a host computer attached to the rear panel’s 3-pole captive screw RS-232...
When the remote interface’s RGB video input is disconnected or the horizontal shift control (H. shift) is adjusted from the AAP device (RGB 580xi S/CCS AAP and RGB 580xi SI/CCSI AAP), the interface sends the reconfiguration message. No response is required from the RS-232 host, but the host may request a new status listing via the request information command (I/i).
Whenever the Input Select button on the AAP device is pressed, Contact closure has been contact closure is initiated at the RGB 580xi remote interface and a detected across pins 1 and 2. signal is sent from the remote interface’s RS-232 port.
To run the control program, follow these steps: Double-click on the RGB 302 + 304 Control Pgm icon in the Extron Electronics group or folder. The Comm menu appears on the screen. Click on the comm port that is connected to the interface’s RS-232 port.
