15-Pin Apple/Mac II (VTG 150), MacII/Quadra (VTG 200)
Output
100-240 VAC
All scan rate signals go to the VGA/
XGA (15-pin HD), Apple/MacII/
Quadra (15-pin) and BNC
connectors. The BNC output is individually buffered, allowing
devices to be connected to BNC and Apple/MacII/Quadra
outputs at the same time. However, because the VGA/XGA
and Apple/MacII/Quadra outputs are in parallel, they should
not be connected at the same time.
VTG 200 ↑
VTG 150 ↓
The VTG 200 (above)
provides six sets of
video output connectors;
the VTG 150 (at right)
provides four sets. Each
connector is marked for
its video application.
_ If devices are connected to both 15-pin outputs (VGA/XGA &
Apple/MacII/Quadra) simultaneously, the double termination
will result in a loss of brightness.
The pin assignments for the Apple/MacII/Quadra connector
are as follows:
See the table of video scan formats on page 4-1 and choose
the one to be used to simulate your computer. Then connect
the appropriate cables to the device to be tested. (e.g.
projector, switcher, etc.)
Pin 1 = Red Ground
Pin 2 = Red
Pin 3 = Composite Sync
Pin 5 = Green
Pin 9 = Blue
Pin 11 = C/V Sync Ground
Pin 12 = V. Sync
Pin 13 = Blue Ground
Pin 14 = H. Ground
Pin 15 = H. Sync
15-Pin HD (VGA/XGA) Output
Pin 6 = Green Ground
One connector is provided for the VGA/
XGA because the pin configurations are
identical. All scan rate signals go to the
9 Pin, TTL Output
VGA/XGA (15-pin HD), Apple/MacII/Quadra (15-pin) and BNC
connectors. The BNC output is individually buffered, allowing
devices to be connected to BNC and VGA/XGA outputs at the
same time. However, because the VGA/XGA and Apple/
MacII/Quadra outputs are in parallel, they should not be
connected at the same time.
A 9 pin “D” style connector provides all
TTL signal outputs. These outputs may
be selected from the TTL Scan Rates menu.
Pin 1 = Ground
Pin 2 = Red Intensity
Pin 3 = Red
Pin 5 = Blue
Pin 6 = Green Intensity
Pin 7 = Blue Intensity
Pin 8 = H. Sync
_ If devices are connected to both 15-pin outputs VGA/XGA &
Apple/MacII/Quadra simultaneously, the double termination
will result in a loss of brightness.
Pin 4 = Green
Pin 9 = V. Sync
The pin assignments for the 15-pin HD are as follows:
_ When running TTL rates from outputs other than the 9-pin TTL
output, the test patterns may appear dim, distorted or
otherwise unlike the output from the 9 pin connector. This is
normal, due to the signal characteristics of TTL video signals.
Thus, for exact TTL signal duplication, only use the 9 pin TTL
output.
Pin 1 = Red
Pin 8 = Blue Ground
Pin 10 = Ground
Pin 13 = H. Sync
Pin 14 = V. Sync
Pin 2 = Green
Pin 3 = Blue
Pin 6 = Red Ground
Pin 7 = Green Ground
The sync available on pins 13 and 14 is dependent on the
position of the H/HV switch. With the switch in the HV (down)
position, composite sync is available on pin 13. With the
switch in the H (up) position, separate H and V sync is
available on pins 13 and 14.

RGB Output (BNC, Analog)
The RGB BNC output
provides red, green, and blue
video at 0.7 volts peak to peak and horizontal and vertical
sync at TTL levels on the H/HV and V BNC connectors.
Those five BNC connectors, together with the 2-position
switch, can be used four ways:
13W3 Sun/SGI/IBM Output (VTG 200
only)
The pin assignments for the 13W3
connector are:
Pin A1 = Red
Pin A2 = Green
Pin A3 = Blue

•
•
RGB with composite horizontal and vertical sync (4-cables)
RGB with separate horizontal and vertical sync (5-cables)
RGB with Sync on Green (3-cables)
RGB with sync on red, green, and blue (3-cables)
Sync pin assignments vary by manufacturer as follows:
Composite vs. Separate H & V
Signal
Sun
SGI
IBM
NXT
The vertical sync is provided on the BNC connector marked
V. Depending on the position of the toggle switch, the H/HV
connector can have either a separate horizontal sync, or a
composite horizontal/vertical sync. For example: for
composite sync output, put the toggle switch in the HV
position and don't use the V connector. For separate H & V
sync output, put the switch in the H position and connect
cables to both the H/HV and the V connectors.

Adapting the VTG 150 to Other Standards
For some applications, the unit
to be tested may not have
connectors that match those
provided on the VTG 150.
Adaptor cables can be made up
to serve this need. Following are some examples.
Sync on Red, Blue, or Green
Sync on Green may be removed or added for all scan
formats. If normal operation of the selected scan rate is Sync
On Green, that is what the VTG will output. However, the
sync may be removed by following the instructions in Chapter
3.
The sync polarity (positive or negative) of the BNC H & V
output is identical to that of the selected computer.
Monitors with a 13W3 Input Connector
When connecting a VTG 150 to a monitor that uses the 13W3
connector, use an adapter cable with the following, 4 or 5
BNC configuration:
To output negative composite sync at all times (optimum for
converging video projectors), place the back panel toggle
switch in the HV position. All frequencies may be output on
the BNC connectors.

Operating the Video Test Generator
Operating the Video Test Generator
Unless it is disabled, the timer will begin its countdown to
time-out when the Timer LED turns green (indicating that a
single test pattern is being displayed). The countdown
restarts each time any button is pressed.
_ When a time-out occurs, only the video display will be cut off;
the sync will remain active, even while the video is muted, thus
convergence settings will not be lost.
Change Scan Rate
An active scan rate can be changed at any time by holding
the SELECT button and pressing the ▼ or ▼ button.
Add Sync to a Video Line
Change Test Pattern
Sync may be added on the green video channel by holding
down the MODE/ON button and pressing the SELECT button.
The Sync LED will turn green. Repeat this procedure to add
sync to all three video channels. The Sync LED will then turn
red. Repeating this procedure one more time will then return
the VTG to separate sync output, and the LED will be off.
With an active scan rate (Timer LED = green), press the ▼ or
▼ button repeatedly to step through the available test
patterns. The test patterns will appear in numerical order
1-16 as shown in chapter 4.
Change Test Pattern Color
Sync Output Selection
While displaying a test pattern, hold the MODE/ON button
and press the ▼ button to step through the 8 color
combinations.
The default sync output depends on the scan format. That is,
if Sync on Green is normal operation for the chosen format,
that is what the VTG will provide. Sync output can be
configured four ways to accommodate the output device.
Auto-sequence the Test Patterns
•
•
•
•
RGB with composite horizontal and vertical sync
RGB with separate horizontal and vertical sync
RGB with Sync on Green
To set the VTG to Auto-sequence mode, a scan rate must be
active; hold MODE/ON and press the ▼ button. The Timer
LED will turn orange in Auto-sequence mode and the 16 test
patterns will cycle sequentially at 5 second intervals. To exit
Auto-sequence mode, hold MODE/ON and press the ▼
button. The Timer LED will turn green and a single test
pattern will be displayed on the output screen.
RGB with sync on red, green, and blue
The vertical sync is provided on the BNC connector marked
V. Depending on the position of the toggle switch, the H/HV
connector can have either a separate horizontal sync, or a
composite horizontal/vertical sync.
NTSC/PAL LED (VTG 200 only)
For example: for composite sync output, put the toggle
switch in the HV position and don't use the V connector. For
separate H & V sync output, put the switch in the H position
and connect cables to both the H/HV and the V connectors.
For details, see chapter 2.
Normally off, this LED will turn green when an NTSC or PAL
scan rate is activated indicating that a test pattern is available
at the NTSC/PAL BNC connector.
Timer
The VTG timer will time-out (if not disabled) when a test
pattern has been displayed for five minutes to prevent CRT
burn-in. When this happens, the LED will flash red and green
alternately. To turn the video back on, press the MODE/ON
button. The timer feature can be disabled by pressing the ▼
and ▼ buttons at the same time. When disabled, the Timer
LED will turn red.
Power Off
The VTG power may be turned off by simultaneously pressing
the ▼ and ▼ buttons when the VTG is in the inactive state
(the Timer LED is off). If the VTG is active (the Timer LED is
on), press and release SELECT first.

Pattern 10 — Flat Field - Purity Adjustment
Video Test Patterns
This pattern is for making purity adjustments, which means
making the entire picture completely white throughout the
screen, without any color deviation.
The following is a listing of the available test patterns and a
brief description of the purpose of each.
Pattern 1 — Dots 12 x 16 - Focus and Convergence
This pattern is effective for checking and adjusting focus
and convergence.
Pattern 11 — Checkerboard 100% - Contrast Range, Screen
Cutoff and Color Temperature. All three checkerboard
patterns are used together to check color tracking of video
amplifiers and adjust raster cutoff levels. It also may help in
evaluating video amplifier clamping stability and CRT high
voltage regulation.
Pattern 2 — Alternating Pixels - Resolution
This one pixel on, one pixel off pattern is used to test
display resolution of monitors and projectors as well as EMI
testing for worst case radiation.
Pattern 12 — Checkerboard 56% - Contrast Range, Screen
Cutoff and Color Temperature. See #11.
Pattern 3 — Alternating Pixels - Resolution
Same as #2 except that it has 1, 2, and 4 alternating pixels,
as well as a solid “all pixels on” field.
Pattern 13— Checkerboard 14% - Contrast Range, Screen
Cutoff and Color Temperature. See #11.
Pattern 4 — Crosshair - Vertical/Horizontal Image Tilt,
Orthogonality Test. This pattern is used for checking the
screen borders, picture tilt, and making sure the picture is
centered on the screen.
Pattern 14 — 8-Level Split Grayscale - Video Level Tracking
(Color) Video Gain Linearity (Mono). This pattern is used for
setting the grayscale, as well as, evaluating contrast
linearity and tracking from low to high level video on
monochrome and color monitors and projectors.
Pattern 5 — Rectangle/Square Crosshair - Linearity, Raster
Centering and Geometry. Use this pattern (and pattern 4) to
check and adjust the horizontal linearity. After centering the
raster, this pattern can be used to set geometry. The four
center boxes should be identical in height and width, and the
four outer rectangles should be identical in height and
width.
Pattern 15 — 8-Color Bar - Color Check, Verify Red, Green,
Blue Balance. This pattern is used for testing all the color
video channels and setting video drive levels. It is also used
to check low frequency cross talk between red, green and
blue video channels. It is commonly used for testing TTL
monitors, TTL and analog converters and enhancement
features of interfaces.
Pattern 6 — Crosshatch 12 x 16 - Static & Dynamic
Convergence - This pattern is used to check and adjust both
static and dynamic convergence, which means that the red,
green, and blue video signals are aligned on each other.
Pattern 16A — 16-color Bar - TTL Color Monitor Test & Split
Field Analog Color Bars 100%/56% (See #15). This pattern
is not available for the NTSC/PAL BNC output, see pattern
16B.
Pattern 7 — Crosshatch 24 x 32 - Static & Dynamic
Convergence - This pattern is used just as pattern #6
except that it has a finer test grid so the convergence can
be done more accurately.
Pattern 16B — SMPTE/PLUGE - The SMPTE color bar and
pluge composite video pattern can be used to set up tint,
hue, brightness, contrast, gray scale and black level on
NTSC and PAL video equipment. This pattern is available
on the NTSC/PAL BNC output connector of the VTG 200 as
Test Pattern 16. It is NOT available on any other VTG 200
output connector or on the VTG 150. See pattern 16A.
Pattern 8 — H Pattern Black on White - Resolution/High
Frequency Response. This pattern is used to check or
evaluate video clamping stability and video pulse response.
Pattern 9 — H Pattern White on Black - Resolution/High
Frequency Response. This pattern can be used to check
display focus or video pulse response.

Application Information
Application Information
Setting Up Large Screen Projection Systems
Video Setup Guide
The video test generator may be used to set the parameters
of large screen video/data projectors. These parameters
include convergence, geometry, linearity, grayscale, contrast,
brightness and focus.
If the application is a video system, including components,
such as interfaces, distribution amplifiers, etc., use the VTG
as the computer/video source. Route the signals from the
VTG, through the other components, to the projector. This
provides total duplication of the system, allowing the
interface, or other components, to be setup as part of the
system. (i.e. H & V shift, level control, peaking, etc.)
For each application, a digital projector requires a separate
set of signals from each computer/video source. It may not be
convenient to have all of these sources available when
setting up the projector. The VTG simulates most video scan
rates, providing one source for all of the required sync and
video signals.
Lens Focus - For this adjustment, use the dot test pattern (#1).
The output color(s) of the VTG can be changed to focus each
color lens, one at a time. (See figure 4-6A)
Convergence - Color convergence can be aligned using either the
projector's internal test pattern, or the VTG test patterns. Use
crosshatch and dot patterns (1, 6, & 7) for convergence. (See
figures 4-5A and 4-6 A)
Geometry - The geometry can be done using the crosshatch and
crosshair patterns. The linearity and borders (picture size and
raster centering) can be adjusted with the rectangle/square
crosshatch pattern (patterns 4, 5, 6 & 7).
Grayscale - Grayscale, color balancing, and any other color
adjustments can be made using the grayscale and color bar
patterns. Red, green, and blue video levels can be mixed to
provide an accurate simulation of the computer’s display.
These adjustments are difficult to make and should be done
with care.

Monitor Applications
The VTG can be used in a variety of monitor testing and
adjustment applications using the 16 available test patterns.
Following is a brief summary of some of the uses in these
types of applications.
•
•
Color convergence or registration can be done using any of
the crosshatch or dot patterns. (See figures 4-8A & 4-8B.)
Focusing can be adjusted using several of the test patterns
including the dot pattern, crosshatch, H pattern white on black,
and other patterns with single pixel lines.
•
The 3 checkerboard patterns can be used to check color
tracking of video amplifiers, adjust raster cutoff levels,
evaluate video amplifier clamp stability and CRT high voltage
regulation.
•
•
•
Common uses for the VTG color bar patterns on TTL monitors,
include testing TTL-to-analog converters and checking true
brown correction in the 8-color mode.
The alternating pixel patterns can be used for: display
resolution check, video bandwidth performance, and EMI
radiation testing.
Figure 4-8A VTG 150 Apple/Mac ll Dot Test Pattern.
Grayscale can be checked and adjusted on monochrome
monitors using the 8-level split grayscale pattern. Contrast
linearity, from low to high level, can also be checked and
adjusted. Each gray and color level represents a 14.3%
change in luminance level. (See figure 4-7A.)

Troubleshooting
The VTG 150 or the VTG 200 can be used to help isolate
The VTG can be used for presentation system troubleshooting.
It can be placed in any part of the system to simulate a
computer signal. For example, if your system consists of a
projector, switcher and several computers, and the picture is
not coming up correctly on the projector, the VTG can be
connected at different points in the system, such as:
problems within complex switcher configurations such as the
one pictured below.
•
•
•
When a distribution amplifier is being used, the VTG can be
connected as an input source to test the amplifier's outputs.
Connect the VTG to the input of an interface, and the output of
the interface to a display device, thereby testing the interface.
OUTPUT
The VGA and Mac outputs can be used to test analog
interfaces.
•
•
The 9-pin output can be used to test TTL interfaces.
Connect it to the projector’s input to test whether the projector
is operating properly with the computer input. (See fig. 4-9A.)
•
Connect it to the switcher’s inputs to test if all the inputs are
working properly and a signal passes through. (See fig. 4-9A.)

Host/VTG 200 Communications
VTG 200 RS-232 Control and Connection to a Computer
The VTG 200 treats any character that it receives on the
RS-232 port as a possible command, but it accepts only a
limited number as legal commands. There are no codes
required to say that a command is coming or that a command
has ended. A simple command may be a single character
typed on a keyboard and does not require any special
characters before or after (it is not necessary to press “enter”
from the keyboard). Simple commands could be sent from a
terminal or any other controlling device.
A computer connected to the VTG 200 RS-232 port can be
used to:
•
•
Add to the Extron supplied video scan formats in the field.
Duplicate most VTG 200 panel operations.
Each VTG 200 ships with a 3.5” diskette containing the
Extron Windows-compatible VTG 200 Control Program which
enables the user to perform all of the above operations in a
Windows environment. The program will be covered later in
this chapter.
When the VTG 200 receives a command and determines that
it is valid, it will execute the command and send a response
back to the controlling (host) device. If the command is
determined by the VTG 200 to be invalid, an error response
will be returned to the host. All responses from the VTG 200
to the host begin and end with a carriage return (CR). The
second CR signals the end of the response character string
(string = one or more characters).
The VTG 200’s RS-232 port, a 9 pin D connector labeled
“RS-232”, is located on the rear panel of the unit. Pin
assignments and protocol are:

Using the Command/Response Table
The table on the following page lists those commands which
the VTG 200 recognizes as valid and the responses that will
be returned to the host. The description column defines the
command, the results of executing the command, or the
response returned to the host.
9600 baud, 8-bits, no parity, 1 start bit and 1 stop bit.
To connect the VTG 200 to a computer, refer to the picture
below and connect the user supplied RS-232 cable from the
computer (PC) serial port to the VTG 200 connector labeled
“RS-232”.
The command string in the left column of the table is defined
in the right column (both in bold print). The command string
is shown as ASCII characters.

run from the floppy drive. However, it is more convenient to
load and run it from the hard drive. It can be installed on the
user’s hard-drive as follows:
1. Insert the Extron software diskette into the floppy drive.
2. From the Windows File menu, click on Run.
3. Specify the disk drive and type “setup”. For example, type
A:SETUP
if the diskette is in drive A.
The program will occupy approximately 1 MB of hard drive
space.
The Windows installation will create (by default) a C:\VTG200
directory and will place 2 icons (VTG 200 Control Program
and VTG 200 Help) into a group titled “Extron Electronics”.
See figure 5-6A.
Using the Software
1. For information about program features, double click on the
VTG 200 Help icon in the Extron Electronics group. Help
can be accessed from its icon (stand-alone) or from within
the program by the menu on the main screen or by pressing
F1 from within the control program. See figure 5-6B.

2. To run the software, double click on the VTG 200 Control
Program icon in the Extron Electronics group.
3. A Comm menu will be displayed on the screen. (See
Figure 5-6C.) Click on the Comm port that is connected to
the VTG 200 RS-232 connector.
4. The Extron VTG 200 Control Program window displays
available scan rates and test patterns, and the program
awaits user action (see figure 5-7A).
Clicking the “Rate VIEW” option with rate #61 selected as
shown will produce the screen shown in figure 5-7B. Use the
program help options to assist you in choosing other options.
Figure 5-8 illustrates using the control program to select a
scan rate and pattern, which is displayed on the monitor
being tested.
