Setup Guide  — RGB 560 AKM

The Extron RGB 560 AKM Architectural Interface is an analog, computer video and audio 

interface with 300 MHz video bandwidth.   It installs in an Ackermann floorbox.  This guide 

provides basic instructions for setting up the RGB 560 AKM.

Step 1 — Set the DIP switches behind the access cover

a. 

Using a small Philips screwdriver, remove one screw to take off 

the access cover.

b. 

Set DIP switches 1 through 8 to On (up) or Off (down) as desired.  

 

1

 — Sync on green   

 

2

 — DDSP (up) or ADSP (down [default])

3

 — Serration pulse   

 

4

 — Composite sync output

5

 — Force negative horizontal and 

6

 — Vertical sync pulse width

         vertical sync polarity 

 

     

7 and 8

 — Composite sync routing for Macintosh monitors:

   

•  

For Macintosh 13":

 Set 

7

 to 

Off

 (down

)

 and 

8

 to 

On

 (up).

   

•  

For all other Macintosh:

 Set 

7

 to 

On

 (up) and 

8

 to 

Off

 (down).

   

No other combinations are valid.

c. 

Replace the access cover. 

Step 2 — Set the gaining and peaking adjustment jumpers

If using cable runs over 125 feet (38 m) you may need to adjust the gain and peaking jumpers 

(located inside the unit) to compensate for signal loss, as follows: 

a. 

Disconnect power 

from the RGB 560.

b. 

Remove six front 

panel screws and take 

off the faceplate.  Do 

not pull the output 

cables out of the 

enclosure.

c. 

Use needlenose pliers 

to move gain/peaking 

jumpers J16 (blue), J17 

(red), and J18 (green).  

Place the jumpers on 

the pins that yield the 

best image display:

 

• 

Pins 3 and 4:

 Increase the output signal and add 50% of the maximum peaking.

 

• 

Pins 2 and 3:

 Provide unity output (0.7 volts with no peaking [default]).

 

• 

Pins 1 and 2:

 Increase the output signal and add 100% of the maximum peaking (for very

  long cable runs).

d. 

Reattach the faceplate and replace the screws removed in step 

2b
