Rack Mounting
UL guidelines for rack mounting
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines are
relevant to the safe installation of these products in a rack:
1.
Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the unit
is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the
operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore,
install the equipment in an environment compatible with
the maximum ambient temperature (Tma: +122 °F, +50 °C)
specified by Extron.
2.
3.
4.
Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in the rack
so that the equipment gets adequate air flow for safe
operation.
Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack
so that uneven mechanical loading does not create a
hazardous condition.
Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to
the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit
overloading might have on overcurrent protection
and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of the
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when
addressing this concern.
5.
Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable
grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular
attention to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (such as the use of power
strips).

Input signal
Signal type — RGB or HDTV component (Y, R-Y, B-Y)
Total pixels — The total number of pixels in a line, including
blanking on both sides of the input active area (active,
horizontal sync width, back porch, and front porch). The values
can be adjusted from the default value ± 512.
The total number of lines per frame, including the
blanking above and below the active area is determined
by the input signal and is not user adjustable.

Start — The horizontal start defines the number of pixels in
the blanking area to the left of the active area; the vertical start
defines the number of pixels above the active area.
The vertical and horizontal starts and the active area
must be set to frame the active area of the input signal.
If these values are set incorrectly, the scaler may crop
trailing edges (right or bottom) or partially mask the
leading edges (left or top).
N
Active pixels — The number of pixels per line that are inside
the active area. The baseline for the active pixels adjustment
depends on the horizontal and vertical resolutions of the input
signal. The values can be adjusted from the default value ± 512.
The horizontal active pixels and total pixels adjustments
are interactive. Setting one of these variables may
require the other to be adjusted.
N
Active lines — The number of horizontal lines inside the active
area. The baseline for the active lines adjustment depends on
the input and output resolutions. The values can be adjusted
from the default value ± 256.
Phase — The timing of the digital scaler’s sampling. Sampling
at the optimum pixel phase results in a bright, stable output.
Total pixels and active pixels must be correctly set before
adjusting phase.
N
Output Signal
Auto Image — Automatically sizes and centers the input signal
to fill the screen of the output device. Auto Image can be used
to configure each input rate separately, or it can be enabled, in
the advanced menu, to automatically size and center each new
input rate.
Picture position — Sets the horizontal and vertical centers for
the output image.
Picture size — Sets the size of the output image so that it can fill
the entire display device.
Detail filter — Uses variable filters to increase or decrease the
detail and definition of the displayed image. The value can be
adjusted on a scale from 0 to 127. The default setting is 64.
Brightness — Brightness adjusts the black level of the image on
the screen, on a scale from 0 to 127. The default setting is 64.
Contrast — Contrast adjusts the difference between the input's
darkest and brightest settings, on a scale from 0 to 127 (the
default is 64).

Zoom — Zoom enlarges a portion of the scaled image.
Zoom values match picture size values.
N
Output Resolution and refresh rate — Every display device has
an optimal (native) resolution and refresh rate. It is essential
that the output resolution and refresh rate match the display
device's capabilities. The table on the two previous pages
shows the full range of resolutions and refresh rates available
for output signals with these scalers. There are two additional
settings:
•
When Auto is selected, the video converter receives EDID
information from the display device and adjusts the output
signal to match the requirements of the display
•
When Lock is selected, the video converter matches the
resolution and refresh rate of the output signal with those of
the input signal.
Other
User presets — When contrast, brightness, detail, horizontal
and vertical centering, and horizontal and vertical size have
been adjusted, the values can be saved as presets. This allows
the values for the three most commonly used picture control
settings to be instantly recalled, which is useful for handling
inputs with different aspect ratios.
Test pattern — Test patterns help in the configuration of the
output signal. The available patterns include Color Bars,
grayscale, cross-hatch, alternating pixels, crop, 1.33 aspect ratio,
1.78 aspect ratio, 1.85 aspect ratio, 2.35 aspect ratio, and off (no
test pattern).
Freeze — When freeze is enabled, the video output is a still
image of the last active frame. The output will remain frozen
even if the input signal is removed.
Blank — When blank is enabled, no video signal is sent to the
output device, although the on-screen display is still available.
Reset — There are two types of reset. Firmware reset returns all
options, including the firmware to the factory defaults. Factory
reset returns all image options to the factory defaults but keeps
the current version of the firmware. For more information, see
page 3-17.

Front Panel Connections and Controls
The front panels of both the RGB-DVI 300 and the
RGB-HDMI 300 have a green/amber LED indicator, a config
port, menu and enter buttons, and two rotary encoders (see
page 2-6).
LED indicator
A green light indicates the unit is receiving power and has an
active video input. An amber light indicates the unit is receiving
power but no video input.
Config port
Both the video scaler/converters accept SIS commands from
a host device such as a computer running the HyperTerminal
utility or other control system.
To connect the host device to the config port on the front
panel, use the optional Extron 9-pin D female to 2.5 mm TRS
Configuration Cable (PN 70-335-01). The same port can also be

Output configuration
The output configuration is used to select a scaler output rate
from the various available resolution and refresh rates. Both
the RGB-DVI 300 and the RGB-HDMI 300 have a large range of
combinations of resolution and refresh rate (see table on pages
3-4 and 3-5).
Select output configuration from the main menu. Use the
[
{
knob to select a resolution. Then use the knob to select a
refresh rate. Apply the settings by pressing the enter button, or
they will be applied automatically after 5 seconds.
In addition to the resolutions and refresh rates available in the
menu, two other options are available:
Auto — The unit receives EDID information from the display
device and adjusts the output signal to match the requirements
of the display.
Lock — The unit matches the resolution and refresh rate of the
output signal with those of the input signal.
When color space is selected, the two available options are RGB
(default) and YUV. Use the up/down rotary encoder to select
the desired value and then apply the setting by pressing the
enter button.

When Blank is enabled, there is no video output (aside from the
on-screen display).
When Freeze is on, the video output is a still picture of the last
active frame.
The Auto Image and Auto Memory functions work
interactively. Either function can be on or off, giving four
possible combinations.
Auto Image on and Auto Memory on — If the Auto Image
function is on, the output signal is sized and centered to fill the
screen. If the Auto Memory function is on, these parameters
are saved. The next time the unit encounters the same signal,
the parameters saved by the Auto Memory are applied
automatically.
When all 64 memories are filled, the oldest is overwritten by
new ones.
Auto Image off and Auto Memory on — If the Auto Image is
off, the unit applies the values from the input lookup table. If
no further adjustments are made, the Auto Memory does not
save an entry, since all the parameters already match the input
lookup table. However, if the user adjusts the input manually or
carries out an Auto Image, the new parameters is automatically
stored by the Auto Memory function.

Auto Image on and Auto Memory off — Each new signal is
compared with the values in the input lookup table and an
Auto Image carried out. However, the parameters are not saved
and the next time this signal is encountered, it is, once again,
compared with the lookup table and Auto Imaged.
Auto Image off and Auto Memory off — Each new signal is
set up with the default values. There is no Auto Image and the
parameters are not saved by the Auto Memory.
To reset all user settings, but keep the current version of the
firmware, enter the menu, select advanced configuration, and
Factory Reset. Press and hold the enter button until the "Factory
Reset" message is displayed on the screen. This is the same as
E
}
the Zap SIS command (
ZXXX ), as shown on page 4-16.
To reset all options, including the original shipped firmware
to the factory defaults, press and hold the enter button while
applying power; the "Firmware Reset" message is displayed on
the on-screen display.
When the output display has an incompatible output rate, it
is often difficult to get an image on the display. An additional
reset mode allows the user to toggle between two almost
universally applicable output rates of 1024 x 768 at 60 Hz (XGA)
and 720p at 60 Hz.
Applying power to the unit while holding the Menu button
initially changes to output rate to 1024 x 768 at 60 Hz. On the
next occasion power is applied to the unit while holding the
Menu button, the output rate toggles to 720p at 60 Hz.
These values were chosen because most PC monitors with
a digital input will accept an XGA signal and most other
consumer/professional displays will accept 720p.

Introduction to SIS™
Both the RGB-DVI 300 and the RGB-HDMI 300 accept SIS
commands from a host device such as a computer running the
HyperTerminal utility or other control system. The host device
can be connected to the 3-pin captive screw connector on the
rear panel or to the Config port on the front panel. To connect
to the config port, use the optional Extron 9-pin D female to 2.5
mm TRS Configuration cable (part # 70-335-01).
The protocol is 9600 baud, 8 data bit, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
The wiring in the RS-232 cables crosses over so that
the video scaler/converter Tx connects with the control
device Rx and vice versa.
N
N
Only one serial port can be used at a time. If the front
port is in use, the rear captive screw connector must be
disconnected from the computer or other control device.
Likewise, if the captive screw port is in use, the config
port on the front panel must be disconnected from the
computer or other control device.
SIS commands consist of a string (one or more characters per
command field). Unless otherwise stated, upper and lower
case characters may be used interchangeably. Commands do
not require any special characters to begin or end the command
string. Each response from the video converter ends with a
]
carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ), which signals the
end of the response character string.
When the RGB-DVI 300 or RGB-HDMI 300 is first switched on,
depending on the model, it sends the message:
(c) COPYRIGHT 2009, EXTRON ELECTRONICS,
]
RGB-DVI 300, V x.xx, 60-906-01
or
(c) COPYRIGHT 2009, EXTRON ELECTRONICS,

where V x.xx is the firmware version number and 60-90x-01 is
the part number.
