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 interfaces  
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

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  
interfaces 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

Multiconductor cables such as Extrons 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
