Quick Start Guide
AutoPatch RGBHV to DVI-D
Converter
Overview
This guide contains complete information for the RGBHV to DVI-D Converter when it is
used as a standalone unit. For additional information on using the converter in
conjunction with an AMX AutoPatch Distribution Matrix, see the Instruction Manual for
the router on the
AMX AutoPatch Software & Documentation CD
or at

Specifications
System Setup
A typical setup using an RGBHV to DVI-D Converter as a standalone unit is illustrated
in FIG. 2.
Converter Installation
Before installing in a permanent location, we suggest placing the equipment close
together so the Control PC and the Destination Monitor can be seen simultaneously
during fine tuning.
Important:
Always use a UL approved power source. Check the power source’s
documentation for information specific to that power source.
To attach connectors & power to the converter:
1.
Plug the power cord into the power jack on the converter and into the power
source (FIG. 3).
2.
Attach one end of the USB (Mini-B) cable to the running Control PC (see the
“Equipment & Requirements” section in the next column) and the other end to
the converter (FIG. 3). Windows should recognize the new device as an HID
device and install default drivers.
3.
Attach one end of the HD-15 cable (pinout in FIG. 4) to the Source PC and the
other end to the converter.
4.
Attach one end of the DVI-D cable (pinout in FIG. 5) to the Destination Monitor
and the other end to the converter.
Converter’s HD-15 Pinout
The HD-15 connector on the converter uses the pinout in FIG. 4.
Converter’s DVI-D Pinout
The DVI-D connector on the converter uses the pinout in FIG. 5.
* The +5 V on pin 14 will supply a maximum of 55 mA.
Equipment & Requirements for Video Adjustment with Wizard
The RGB-DVI Wizard software (provided on CD) must be used to configure RGBHV to
DVI-D converters. One of the provided preset configuration files can be downloaded or
a custom one can be created and downloaded. The factory default configuration is
1024x768 at 60 Hz. Once a new configuration is selected or is created and saved, it
becomes the default.
