short or long distance, respectively. The transmitter includes an OPTICAL OUTPUT ST
connector and RGB IN and RGB LOOPTHRU HD-15 VGA-type connectors for the RGB input
and local display monitor output, respectively, and a 3.5mm line-level AUDIO INPUT stereo audio
input jack. When there is no local monitor plugged in, the RGB IN port is automatically
terminated in 75 ohms. When a monitor is plugged into the RGB LOOPTHRU port, these
terminations are automatically removed. The front panel of the unit includes a SYSTEM OK LED
which indicates normal operation when illuminated green, and 3 LEDS for RED, GREEN and
BLUE, which, when illuminated green, show the presence of the RGB input video. The intensity
of these will vary with scene content. The RGB5000 normally accepts RGB type video, but can
also accept component (YUV or YPrPb) video, such as from a DVD or Blu Ray player. When
there is no separate TTL sync present at the FTX input, the unit automatically changes from RGB
to YUV/YPrPb mode, as this is the most common format that does not have separate syncs.
Thus, HDTV or SDTV signals in either RGBHV or YPbPr mode can be transported. With RGBHV
signals, up to 1080P can be transported. However with YPrPb signals, only up to 1080i can be
transported. Some YPbPr equipment puts out simultaneous TTL sync. This will confuse the
RGB5000, and it will remain in RGB mode. When used with such equipment in YPrPb mode, the
user must block the separate H and V syncs with an adapter cable. While the units normally
default to YPrPb mode when separate TTL sync is not present, they can be set to remain in RGB
mode by setting an internal jumper. This jumper is labeled “RGB/DVD” and would need to be
changed to the RGB position. The jumpers are inside both the FTX and FRX.
RECEIVER, RGB5000-FRX-2/50/52
The receiver module is designated by model number RGB5000-FRX The suffixes
designate the operation mode as above. The receiver includes an OPTICAL INPUT ST connector
and RGB OUTPUT HD-15 VGA and AUDIO OUTPUT 3.5mm connectors for the RGB display
output video and stereo line-level output audio, respectively. The front panel has a SYSTEM OK
LED that indicates the detection and lock of an input signal when illuminated green. If the link is
broken, it will be extinguished. On a marginal link, it may glow at less than full brilliance, but such
a link may not be able to support video transmission. There are also 3 LEDS for RED, GREEN
and BLUE, which, when illuminated green, show the presence of the RGB output video. The
intensity of these will vary with scene content. If the link is broken these will be extinguished. The
FRX also has an internal DVD/RGB jumper as described above. If other than YPrPb type video is
to be transported when separate TTL syncs are not present, this internal jumper must be moved
from the DVD to the RGB position.
POWER REQUIREMENTS
The RGB5000-FTX requires 5VDC @ 1.6A and the RGB5000-FRX requires 5VDC @
800ma. These are provided by 100-240 VAC input power supply modules, included.
