Extron electronics RGB to DVI Scaler RGB-DVI 300 Manual

Setup Guide — RGB-DVI 300 and RGB-HDMI 300
WInstallation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.
Unless otherwise stated, these instructions apply to both the RGB-DVI 300 and the
RGB-HDMI 300 video scalers/converters. These instructions provide a quick setup guide for
experienced installers.
Step 1
Turn all the equipment off and disconnect all cables.
Step 2
Mount the unit in a convenient location, in a rack, behind a display, under a desk, or through a
desk.
Step 3
Connect an analog RGB or HDTV YUV video input to the 15-pin female VGA connector.
Step 4
Connect the unit to a digital display using a HDMI connector (RGB-HDMI 300) or a DVI-I
connector (RGB-DVI 300).
NThe RGB-DVI 300 only outputs a DVI-D signal, although a DVI-I connector is used for
greater installation flexibility.
A display is required to control the RGB-DVI 300 or RGB-HDMI 300 using the menu and
on-screen display.
Step 5
Connect the 12 VDC external power supply (provided) to the 3.5 mm, two-pole, captive screw
Power input connector.
Step 6
Apply power to the RGB-DVI 300’s or RGB-HDMI 300’s power supply, power on the display,
and power on the video source.
Step 7
Configure the system via the front panel controls and on-screen display, SIS commands, or the
Signal Processing Products Control Program, as shown on the following page.
NIf no video output is visible on the display, the scaler’s output rate can be toggled between
1024 x 768 at 60 Hz and 720p at 60 Hz, without needing the on-screen menu. Hold the
Menu button while applying power and the output rate is set to 1024 x 768 at 60 Hz during
the first power on cycle. Hold the Menu button while applying power a second time and the
output rate is set to 720p at 60 Hz.

www.extron.com.
SIS Commands and Control Software
To control and configure the unit, using SIS™
commands or the Signal Processing Products
Control Program (SPPCP), connect the serial
port of a computer to either the RS-232
captive screw connector on the rear panel or
the Config port TRS connector on the front
panel.
Consult the diagrams and table at right to
ensure the connections are wired correctly.
Note that the Tx and Rx connections must
cross over between the computer and the
scaler.
For SIS control, the Extron DataViewer
software and the “RGB-DVI 300 and
RGB-HDMI 300 User’s Guide” can be
downloaded from the Extron Web site at
www.extron.com. The Extron SPPCP can
also be downloaded from the Extron Web
