DVC RGB-HD A • Setup Guide
The Extron DVC RGB-HD A is a one VGA input, one HDMI output converter that digitizes analog RGBHV video to HDMI, with
analog stereo audio embedding. It accepts resolutions from 640x480 up to 1080p @ 60 Hz and 1920x1200 @ 60 Hz with reduced
blanking. A USB port allows for system conguration and rmware updates using Extron Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands
or PCS Product Conguration Software. The DVC RGB-HD A allows the adaptation or integration of legacy VGA products into
an all-digital audio-video system. It features a dual-purpose signal presence and power LED for troubleshooting, as well as eld
upgradable rmware.

APower and signal status LED — This bi-color LED
lights as follows:
• Amber while the unit is powered by a 12 VDC
external power supply
• Green when the DVC detects horizontal sync on the
input
BVGA input — Connect an RGBHV input, such as a
computer, to this 15-pin VGA connector (a male-to-male,
15-pin mini VGA cable is provided for this connection).
The DVC digitizes and converts the RGB input signal to
DVI or HDMI format.
CAudio input — Connect an analog audio input to
this 3.5 mm TRS jack. The analog audio input can be
embedded onto the TMDS output. TMDS output with
embedded analog audio (HDMI RGB Full 4:4:4) is default.
APower connector — Connect a 12 VDC power supply
(not included) between this 2-pole, 3.5 mm captive screw
connector and a 100 to 240 VAC, 50 Hz or 60 Hz power
source.
BHDMI output connector — Connect an HDMI sink to this
female HDMI connector.
• No input signal — When there is no input signal
present, this connector does not output TMDS data
or clock activity.
• Output 5 V mode — This mode is congurable via
SIS commands (see the DVC RGB-HD A User Guide
for information on these commands). Select either of
the following for the 5 V mode:
• Always enabled (default) — The 5 V pin is
always active, regardless of the input status. This
enables the unit to detect hot-plug assertion and
read the EDID from a connected sink.
• Auto — 5 V output is active only when a
source is connected to the input. If no source is
connected the 5 V output is disabled.
CConfig port — Use a USB A-to-mini B cable to connect
this port to a USB port on the computer.

Installation Overview
1. Disconnect power — Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources.
2. (Optional) Mount the unit — Mount the DVC RGB-HD A either in a rack using a shelf mounting bracket kit (see the
instructions provided with the kit) or under furniture using a furniture mounting kit (see Mounting the DVC RGB-HD under
Furniture on page 1). Extron mounting kits are available at www.extron.com.
3. Connect the input — Connect an RGBHV source to the front panel VGA input connector (see figure 1, B, on the previous
page).
4. (Optional) Connect the audio input — Connect analog audio to the 3.5 mm TRS jack on the front panel (C).
5. Connect the digital output — Connect a digital sink to the rear panel HDMI output connector (see figure 2, B, on the
previous page).
6. Connect a PC — Connect a computer to the rear panel USB Cong port (C) to congure the converter via SIS commands
or the PCS Conguration Software, available at www.extron.com (see the DVC RGB-HD A User Guide, also available on the
Extron website, to download the PCS software). If the product rmware needs an update, connect the PC to the USB cong
port and use the Extron Firmware Loader software, available at www.extron.com, to update the rmware.
7. Connect power to the DVC — Connect a 12 VDC power supply (not included)
to the rear panel 2-pole captive screw power connector (A). The DVC can also
share power with another Extron product that has an external 12V power supply.
8. Configure the unit — Congure the DVC RGB-HD A as needed, using SIS
commands (see the DVC RGB-HD A User Guide) or the PCS software
(see the program help le).
Using the LockIt Cable Lacing Bracket
After connecting an input or output device to an HDMI connector, secure the
connector in place with the provided LockIt bracket as follows (see the illustration at
right):
1. Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connection (1).
2. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from the panel enough to allow the
LockIt lacing bracket to be placed over it (2).
3. Place the LockIt lacing bracket onto the screw and slide it up against the HDMI
connector. Tighten the screw to secure the bracket (3).
4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and LockIt lacing
bracket (4).
5. While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, tighten the tie wrap,
then remove any excess length.
