RGB-DVI 300 and RGB-HDMI 300 (A) Setup Guide
CAUTION: Installation 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 (A) video scalers and
converters. These instructions provide a quick setup guide for experienced installers.
Step 1 — Power Off
Turn all the equipment off and disconnect all cables.
Step 2 — Mounting
Mount the unit in a convenient location, in a rack, behind a display, under a desk, or through a desk.
Step 3 — Connect Video and Audio Input
Connect an analog RGB or HDTV YUV video input to the 15-pin female VGA connector. Connect an analog audio source to
the 3.5 mm TRS connector (RGB-HDMI 300 A only).
Step 4 — Connect Display Device
Connect the unit to a digital display using a HDMI connector for the RGB-HDMI 300 (A) or a DVI-I connector for the
RGB-DVI 300.
NOTE: The 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 (A) using the menu and on-screen display.
Step 5 — Connect and Apply Power
Connect the 12 VDC external power supply (provided) to the 3.5 mm, two-pole, captive screw Power input connector. Apply
power to the RGB-DVI 300 or RGB-HDMI 300 (A) power supply. Then power on the display and power on the video source.
Step 6 — Configure System
Configure the system via the front panel controls and on-screen display, Simple Instruction Set™ (SIS™) commands, or
the Signal Processing Products Control Program. (See the RGB-DVI 300 and RGB-HDMI 300 (A) User Guide for complete
instructions.)

NOTE: If no video output is visible on the display, the output rate of the scaler 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 will toggle to 720p at 60 Hz.
Front Panel Controls
Use the Menu and Enter Buttons and
two rotary encoders (shown in the
figure at right) to open and navigate
the menu, which is displayed on the
connected output display device. A
typical on-screen menu is shown in
the figure at right.
Press the Menu button to display
the top level menu. Use the rotary
encoders to highlight menu items
and the Enter button to select the
highlighted item and move deeper
into the menu. To move back one
level, press the Menu button.
For complete information about
configuring and controlling the unit
through the front panel controls
and the on-screen display, see the
RGB-DVI 300 and RGB-HDMI 300 (A)
User Guide, which is available online
at www.extron.com.
SIS Commands and Control Software
To control and configure the unit, using SIS commands or the Extron
Signal Processing Products Control Program, 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 can be downloaded
from the Extron Web site at www.extron.com. The control program can
also be downloaded from the Extron Web site.
For further information on controlling and configuring the scaler
through SIS commands or control program, see the RGB-DVI 300 and
RGB-HDMI 300 (A) User Guide, which is available online at
www.extron.com.
