Operation  
Internal DIP Switches  
Internal DIP switch settings determine the operating mode of the  
RGB 118 and RGB 118 PLUS. Changing the switch settings  
requires removal of the top and bottom halves of the case as  
described below.  
Opening the RGB 118 or RGB 118 PLUS Case  
To open the RGB 118 or RGB 118 PLUS case, remove the screw  
from the bottom of the case (see Figure 1 on facing page). This  
enables removal of the top and bottom halves of the case as  
shown in Figure 2.  
Changing a Switch Setting  
The switches on the DIP switch module used in the RGB 118 and  
the RGB 118 PLUS are the slide type (see drawing, Figure 3 on  
facing page). To change the position of the slide switch, a small  
screw-driver is used to push (slide) the switch to the desired  
position (enable or disable).  
Setting Internal DIP Switches  
Internal DIP switches SW3-1,2, SW4-1, 2, 3 and SW5-1,2 affect  
RGB 118 and RGB 118 PLUS operation as follows:

2. Required by some projectors  
3. When setting the RGB 118 for Sync on Green, you must also  
disconnect the BNC cable from the external “Sync” output of the  
RGB 118 and RGB 118 PLUS. Otherwise, sync is output on both  
green and the composite sync output which may cause  
abnormal levels of green to appear on the presentation display.  
4. Monochrome Composite – Use the Green output only.

Operation  
Using the SRI (RGB 118 PLUS only)  
The SRI feature of the RGB 118 PLUS is used to determine the  
approximate horizontal and vertical scan frequencies of video and  
computer monitors. To use the SRI, hold the RGB 118 PLUS with  
the feet against the face of the monitor and near the center of the  
screen as shown in Figures 1 and 2 below.  
To view the vertical scan frequency, hold the unit so the LCD  
readout is on a vertical plane (red SRI button is in the uppermost  
position) as shown in Figure 1. Wait until the green Vertical (V)  
LED turns on, then push and hold the red SRI button in until a  
readout is obtained.  
To view the horizontal scan frequency, hold the RGB 118 PLUS so  
the LCD readout is on a horizontal plane (normal viewing) as  
shown in Figure 2. When the red Horizontal (H) LED turns on,  
push and hold the red SRI button in until a readout is obtained.  
Anti-static, anti-glare or EMI coatings on the face of the CRT may  
prevent the RGB 118 PLUS SRI from displaying the monitor’s  
scan frequencies properly. Should this occur, an alternate method  
to obtain a readout is to set the RGB 118 PLUS on top and toward  
the rear of the monitor as shown in Figures 3 and 4 below. To  
view the vertical scan frequency using this method, set the RGB  
118 PLUS as shown in Figure 3 with the red SRI button toward the  
rear of the monitor. Press and hold the red SRI button in when the  
green Vertical (V) LED turns on. To view the horizontal scan  
frequency, set the RGB 118 PLUS on the monitor as shown in  
Figure 4. When the red Horizontal (H) led turns on, press and hold  
the red SRI button until a readout is obtained.

Glossary  
Glossary  
Bandwidth - For video amplifiers, bandwidth is a measure of the  
range of frequencies that make up the components of video  
character information within which a video amplifier will respond.  
The frequency range (passband) is usually measured between the  
half-power (3-dB) points on the video amplifier amplitude output  
response vs. frequency curve for a wide range of frequencies  
while maintaining a constant input signal amplitude for each  
frequency.  
CGA - Color Graphics Adapter. Inroduced in 1983, it was IBM's first  
product to display both color and graphics. An RCA jack above  
the 9 pin video output connector provides NTSC video. Signal  
type is TTL, non-interlaced, with Pixel x Line resolution of 640 x  
200 and a color palette of 4/16. CGA has a horizontal scan  
frequency of 15.75 kHz and vertical frequency of 60 Hz.  
Data Monitor - A monitor with horizontal scan capability between  
15.75-36(42) kHz. Data monitors and projectors are commonly  
associated with NTSC video, IBM CGA through VGA and Apple/  
Macintosh computer input sources.  
ECL - Emitter Coupled Logic. ECL signals are high speed digital logic  
and are mostly found in high resolution CAD/CAM computers and  
are usually monochrome or black and white. ECL operates in two  
level states and switches between these states in small  
increments of time. Bits are: Next/Most/Least Significant.  
Conversion to analog is required for proper interfacing.  
EGA - Enhanced Graphics Adapter. Introduced by IBM in 1984, the  
EGA card may be configured with dip switch settings to provide an  
MDA or CGA output signal. Signal type is TTL, non-interlaced  
with a Pixel x Line resolution of 640 x 350 and a color palette of  
16/64. EGA horizontal scan frequency is 21.8 kHz or 15.75 kHz in  
CGA mode. Vertical frequency is 60 Hz. The EGA card outputs  
to a 9 pin “D” type connector.  
Graphics Monitor - A monitor with horizontal scan capability from  
15.75-75 (80) kHz. Graphic monitors and projectors accept input  
from NTSC Video and CGA- VGA, as well as, high resolution  
computers and CAD/CAM workstations.  
ICWK “Internal Computer Wiring Kit”- ICWK kits provide interfacing  
signals for computers and terminals with no external video display  
output. Internal video monitor signals are routed externally from  
the terminal, usually to a 9 pin connector. From the 9 pin  
connector, a short cable is included with the kit for signal transfer  
to the interface 9 pin connector input.  
MBC “Monitor Break-out Cable” - A cable used to view a local  
monitor or terminal while simultaneously routing the computer  
signal to a new source, such as a data projector or monitor. The  
cable contains a male and female video connector, either piggy-  
backed to each other or provided as a Y type cable.

Glossary  
Peaking - Peaking compensates for mid and high frequency RGB  
Video Bandwidth response in data monitors and projectors and for  
signal losses due to cable capacitance. When using the Peak  
enhancements on the RGB 118 and RGB 118 PLUS interface,  
please use the following guidelines for proper output settings:  
__ Use with all computer frequencies between 15-125 kHz at any  
cable length.  
__ Use with high frequency computers of 36 kHz or higher with cable  
lengths 75 feet or greater.  
Serration - A vertical synchronizing pulse divided into a number of  
small pulses, each acting for the duration of half a line in a  
television system. Serrations are used to keep the horizontal  
oscillator synchronized during the vertical sync pulse interval.  
Sync - The synchronization signals or timing pulses which lock the  
electron beam in step, both horizontally and vertically, with the  
image signal. Also called Composite Sync, this signal is derived  
from a composite or combination of horizontal and vertical drives,  
with some slightly narrowed and delayed pulses, as well as, the  
addition of equalizing pulses. It is one of the more popular signals  
used in video systems today and when used is usually  
accompanied by subcarrier.  
TERMINATOR - A resistor at the end of a coaxial cable or line used  
to match the impedance of the equipment being used. The  
resistor absorbs signal energy to prohibit signal reflections back to  
the source. This causes the source equipment to operate as if the  
line is connected to equipment of equal impedance.  
TTL - Transitor to Transitor Logic. Digital type signal, usually 4-5  
volts peak to peak. Distance limitation is 6-10 feet. Signal  
splitting is acceptable. TTL signals are either “ON” or “OFF” and  
is characteristic of low resolution computers (CGA).  
VGA - Video Graphics Array. Introduced by IBM in 1987, VGA is an  
Analog signal with TTL level separate horizontal and vertical sync.  
The video outputs to a high density 15 pin 3 row “D” type  
connector and has a horizontal scan frequency of 31.5 kHz and  
vertical frequency of 70 Hz (Mode 1, 2) and 60 Hz (Mode 3). The  
signal is non-interlaced in modes 1, 2, 3 and interlaced when  
using the 8514/A card (35.5 kHz, 86 Hz) in mode 4. It has a Pixel  
x Line resolution of 640 x 480 with a color palette of 16/256,000.
