Introduction  
About this Manual  
RGB 460xi Series  
This manual contains information about the Extron RGB 460xi  
series of universal wall, furniture, and floorbox mountable  
interfaces, and on how to configure and operate them. “RGB  
460xi” or “interface” will be used to refer to all models  
interchangeably unless otherwise noted.  
For information on installing the wallbox-mountable versions of  
these interfaces, refer to one of the available installation guides.  
For wall or furniture mount installations, with Euro Channel  
versions, refer to #68-636-03. For Steel City® floorbox  
installations, refer to #68-636-04. For MK box installations, refer  
to #68-636-02. For FSR floorbox installations, refer to #68-636-05.  
About the RGB 460xi Series of Interfaces  
The Extron RGB 460xi (all), RGB 460xi Dual, RGB 464xi,  
RGB 468xi, and RGB 468 Mxi are compact, wallbox or floorbox  
mountable computer video interfaces. Each interface comes in  
either a two-gang (RGB 460xi), three-gang (RGB 464xi and  
RGB 468 Mxi), or four-gang (RGB 460xi Dual and RGB 468xi)  
wall box size, except Steel City, MK, and FSR floorbox models.  
Optionally, the two-gang and four-gang (except for the  
RGB 460xi Dual, MK, and FSR models) interfaces come in an EC  
version which mounts in a Euro Channel. The interfaces (except  
for the RGB 460xi Dual, MK, and FSR models) are also wall/  
furniture mountable and come with a matching mud ring kit  
(part #70-086-xx). The interfaces have a 300 MHz (-3dB) video  
bandwidth.  
Chapter Two

Each interface accepts one computer video input (15-pin HD)  
and one stereo audio input, and all models include a 15-pin HD  
buffered local monitor output.  
Installation and Operation  
Installation Overview  
UL Requirements  
Features  
Horizontal shifting control — The displayed image may be  
shifted to the left or right by turning a front panel knob.  
Interface Details  
Advanced Digital Sync Processing™ (ADSP™) — ADSP  
allows sync processing operations, such as horizontal  
centering, to occur without affecting the signal’s sync  
timing. 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. An  
internal DIP switch provides another option, Digital  
Display Sync Processing™ (DDSP™), to ensure proper  
displays without altering sync pulse timing or width.  
Application Examples  
Stereo audio — Unbalanced stereo audio inputs can be output  
as balanced or unbalanced unamplified stereo audio.

plates must be ordered separately (see “Optional Adapter  
Plates” in appendix A). They must also 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 supplied (MAAPs), or built into the plates (AAPs), so no  
additional screws will be needed.

guide that addresses your specific requirements.  
3 — DDSP (Digital Display Sync Processing)  
This feature may be necessary for digital display devices  
such as LCD, DLP (digital light processing) and plasma  
displays. Use this option if the image is not displayed  
properly after other options, such as serration pulse and  
vertical sync pulse width, have been explored.

or bending at the top of the video image is a sign that the  
serration pulses should be removed.  
Off — The interface does not output serration pulses.

If the signal cable between the interface and the output  
device is shorter than approximately 125 feet, and the

edges look thick and fuzzy, try changing the gain/  
peaking setting. The gain switch will be inaccessible  
after installation, so adjust the gain before installing  
the interface into a wall or furniture.

If the LED does not light, check the wiring at both the interface  
and the power supply, and ensure that the power supply is  
connected to a power source.  
Mounting the optional AAP or MAAP device  
The interface and any optional architectural adapter plates  
(standard or mini) must be cabled before the interface is  
installed in a wall or furniture. The screws needed for installing  
the optional standard AAP devices are built into its front panel,  
and hex screws are provided with the MAAP devices, so no  
additional screws will be needed.  
If the input signal has sync on green, the LED will not  
change from yellow to green.  
If the image does not appear or there is no sound  
1.  
2.  
Make sure that all the devices are powered on.  
1.  
Before any cables are attached to the front of an AAP  
device, secure the optional AAP devices to the faceplate  
with the provided captive washers and #4-40 nuts  
(standard AAPs), or the 3/32” hex screws (MAAPs).  
Ensure that the connectors are wired correctly at both ends  
of the cables. Audio cables must be wired for an  
unbalanced stereo input signal and for a balanced or an  
unbalanced stereo output signal.  
3. If input is from a laptop computer and no picture appears,  
use a laptop breakout cable for the input connection.  
Check the computer’s user’s guide or contact Extron to  
determine if special commands are required to output  
video to the external video port. Also, many laptops’  
screens shut off after the external video port is activated.
