To install and set up an RGB 400 Series interface, follow
these basic steps:
De t e rm in in g in st a lla t io n lo ca t io n
Take cabling and power availability and the location of wall
studs into consideration when selecting an installation site.
You may need to install the cables in the wall, furniture or
conduits before installing the interface. Choose a location
that will allow cable runs without interference, preferably
next to a 2” x 4” wall stud.
Determine the installation location.
1
2
Prepare the site for installation. Use the supplied
template to mark the rough-in cutout, then cut out
the wallboard or wood.
Set the DIP (dual in-line package) switches and
jumpers. These items will be inaccessible after
installation.

The RGB 400 Series interfaces each consist of a front panel
with an attached circuit board. They are typically installed
in standard 2-, 3- or 4-gang, 2.5-inch deep electrical wall
boxes. A metal wall box (provided by Extron) is preferred,
but a plastic box (or no wall box at all) can be used as long
as it conforms to local code restrictions and the interface’s
size requirements. If a wall box is used, it must be attached
to wall studs within the wall.
For the RGB 408, attach optional adapter plates, and
attach output cables to the back sides of the adapter
plates.
For all models, connect the wires and cables for
power, audio output and pass-through signals.
These items will be inaccessible after installation.
The drawing below illustrates the typical depth required to
accommodate the maximum bend of high resolution (SHR)
coaxial and miniature coaxial cables inside a wall box.
For all models, set the front panel High Z/ 75 Ohm
video termination toggle switch.

Wall Stud
Actual-size rough-in templates for each model are provided
in Appendix B. If needed, make a 100% size photocopy of
the appropriate template to use for installation. Compare
the photocopy with the faceplate and wall box to make sure
the photocopy size is the same as the equipment.
Wall Box
Use the template as a guide to mark and cut the hole in the
wall or furniture through which the interface will be installed.
The innermost line represents the opening where material
will be removed and the wall box will be installed.
1.
Cut out the center portion (up to the guidelines) of the
cut-out (rough-in) template.
Flush with
Wall Surface
2.
Place the template on the surface where the interface
will be installed. Use a soft pencil to mark the
guidelines for the opening on the wall/ furniture.
Screws or Nails
At t a ch in g t h e w a ll b o x t o w a ll st u d s
3.
4.
Cut out the material from the cut-out area with a
jigsaw or small hand saw.
To attach the wall box to wood, use four #8 to # 10
wood or sheet metal screws. A minimum of 1/ 2 inch
(1.25 cm) of screw threads must penetrate the wood.
If the wood is a 2 x 4, such as a wall stud, 10-penny or
larger nails can be used.
Check the opening size by inserting the wall box (if
used) or the interface (if no wall box is used) into the
opening. The wall box will be mounted flush with the
outer wall or furniture surface. The box and/ or
interface should fit easily into the opening.
To attach the electrical wall box to metal, use four #8
or #10 sheet metal screws (self-tapping) or #8 or #10
machine bolts with matching nuts.
5.
6.
If needed, use a saw, file or sandpaper to enlarge the
hole. Smooth the edges of the opening to avoid
damage or injury to yourself or the cables during
installation.
7.
8.
9.
Output cables will usually be out of sight inside a
wall, for example. Feed the cables through the wall
box “punch-out” holes for connection to the interface.
Cable clamps should be used to hold the cables in
place for strain relief.
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.
Exposed cable shields (braids or foil) are potential
sources of short circuits. Trim back and/ or insulate
shields with heat shrink. Details for typical maximum
coaxial cable bend inside a wall box are given on
page 2-3.
Configure, cable and test the interface before securing
the interface to the wall box. Configuration consists of
setting circuit board DIP switches and jumpers based
on installation requirements. See page 2-14 for more
information.

Each red (J8), green (J9) and blue (J10) jumper can be set to
one of three positions to provide unity gain (0.7 volts p-p),
0.8 volts p-p, or 0.9 volts p-p output. Select the setting that
yields the best image display. Use the diagram on the
product label (shown below) as a guide to setting the
output gain/ peaking for each color.

DIP switch 1 (SW1-1) controls serration pulse output.
0.7V — Use this for short cable runs (under 125 feet).
0.8V — Use this for long cable runs for all frequencies.
ON = No serration pulses will be output in the
composite sync signal.
0.9V — Use this setting for long cable runs and high
frequency video signals.
OFF = Serration pulses will be output.
DIP switch 2 (SW1-2) controls sync processing.
ON = Digital Display Sync Processing (DDSP) will be
used. This may be required in order to obtain a
stable picture on some digital display devices.
When DDSP is on, horizontal shift (centering) is
disabled.
At t a ch in g a d a p t e r p la t e s (RGB 408)
The RGB 408 can have up to 4 optional adapter plates. The
adapter plates allow for a variety of types of pass-through
audio and/ or video connectors to be added to the
interface’s front panel faceplate.
OFF = DDSP will not be used.
Blank plates (two single-height and one double-height
plate) are included with the RGB 408 to cover unused
spaces. Other adapter plates must be ordered separately.
They also must be attached to the faceplate and cabled
before the interface is installed in the wall or furniture. The
screws needed for installing the adapter plates are built into
the plates, so no additional screws will be needed.
Ju m p e rs
Video signals passing through long cable runs (over 125
feet) or through poor quality cables can decrease in
strength, creating signal loss. The longer the cable, the
higher the video level and the greater the peaking that will
be needed to compensate for the loss.
The gain/ peaking adjustment jumpers are located on the
circuit board on the back of the interface, as shown in the
rear features sections of this manual. To configure the
jumpers, use pliers to pull the jumper shunt off the pins,
then place the jumper on the appropriate pins.
1.
Remove the blank plates from the interface by
unscrewing the nuts that fasten the plates to the
faceplate.
2.
Insert the adapter plate screws through the holes in
the faceplate. Attach the adapter plates to the
faceplate with the provided captive washers and
#4-40 nuts. See the illustration “Installing optional
adapter plates” on the next page.
Make sure the interface is disconnected from
the power source before configuring jumpers.
3.
Attach the output cables to the connectors on the back
side of the adapter plates. Several adapter plates
require conductors to be soldered to the connectors.
Attach foil and braided shields to ground connections.

The RGB 402 and RGB 404 provide pass-through connectors
for composite video, S-video, RJ-45 network and, for the
RGB 402 only, two-channel stereo audio. These connectors
are mounted on the faceplate. The RJ-45 cable can be
plugged in from the back. Coaxial cables and/ or twisted
pair wires must be soldered to the back side of the S-video
and RCA connectors, as described in this section.
Co n n e ct in g sh ie ld s
Multiconductor cables such as Extron’s Install Plenum bulk
cable contain several braided and foil shields. At the
interface end of the cable, the outer braided and foil
shields should be connected to the grounded metal wall
box (or to a grounding wire if a metal wall box is not used).
The wires that make up the braided shield can be
unbraided, then twisted together to form a large, multi-
strand wire that can be folded back under the wall box
cable clamp or attached to the metal wall box with a screw.
See the illustration below.
Optional adapter plates with various types and
combinations of pass-through audio and video connectors
are available for the RGB 408. Many adapter plates also
require cables and wires to be soldered to the rear
connectors.
To prevent short circuits, the outer foil shield
can be cut back to the point where the cable
exits the cable clamp. Both the braided and foil
shields should be connected to an equipment
ground at the other end of the cable.

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.
Turn on the input device(s) (computer, audio device) and
output device(s) (projector and/ or monitor, speakers). The
image should now appear on the screen, and, for all models
except the RGB 400, sound should be audible.
