This guide describes the function, installation, configuration, and operation of the Extron
RGB 580xi interface.
About the RGB 580xi Interface
The Extron RGB 580xi is an analog, remote-mountable computer video interface that can be
installed in a location that is hidden from the view of the user. It features a 300 MHz
(< -3 dB) video bandwidth.
It accepts one analog computer video input (RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, or RsGsBs) on a 15-pin HD
female connector and one unbalanced stereo audio input on a 3.5 mm stereo female jack.
Five BNC female connectors provide video output (RGBHV, RGBS, and RGsB), and a five-pole
captive screw connector provides stereo audio output.
A variety of Architectural Adapter Plates (AAP) with A/V inputs can be used in conjunction
with the RGB 580xi and are ideal for installation in remote locations, including discreet
mounting in the Extron Hideaway
® Surface Access Products, such as the HSA 400, HSA 402
and HSA 822.
In addition, a series of RGB 580xi CC AAP plates are also available for Extron Cable Cubby ®
mounting.
In this guide, “RGB 580xi” and “remote interface” are used interchangeably.
Features
Stereo audio — Unbalanced, PC level stereo audio input can be output as balanced or
unbalanced stereo audio.
Level and Peaking adjustments — Level and peaking controls compensate for signal
losses over long cable runs. Level adjusts image brightness and peaking adjusts image
sharpness.
Advanced Digital Sync Processing (ADSP™) — ADSP allows sync processing operations,
such as horizontal centering, to occur without affecting the sync timing of the signal.
This allows horizontal centering to be applied to signals that are output to digital display
devices such as LCD projectors, DLP projectors and plasma displays. A front panel DIP switch
provides another option, Digital Display Sync Processing™ (DDSP™), to ensure proper
displays without altering sync pulse timing or width.
