Contact closure control connector — Connect an optional
contact closure device to this female 5-pole captive screw
connector. Making contact closure between pins A and B
transmits a channel signal through the RS-232 port. Extron’s
RGB 580xi I AAP and RGB 580xi SI/CCSI AAP (see “AAP Device
Features” and “Cable Cubby AAP Device Features” in this
chapter) provide a one-button contact closure operation. Wire
the male connector as shown below on the left. Extron’s VGA
and control cable assembly (see chapter A, “Cables”, for part
numbers) comes with the male control connector prewired as
shown below on the right.

Video output: level control — This control adjusts picture
brightness by compensating for signal amplitude loss caused by
cable resistance. See Front Panel Adjustments in this chapter.
6
Video output: peaking control — This control adjusts picture
sharpness by compensating for cable capacitance caused by long
cable runs. See Front Panel Adjustments in this chapter.

DIP switches — This bank of DIP switches, as illustrated below,
controls DDSP (Digital Display Sync Processing), serration pulse
output, SOG (sync on green) output, vertical sync width, sync
polarity, and composite sync output. Moving a switch up sets it
to On and moving it down sets it to Off.
