Extron RGB 201 Rxi black screen.

Post by wwse »

Hi.
I received a new Extron RGB 201 Rxi and can't get any image other than a black screen.
PS3 480p component -> Xselect-D4 -> Extron RGB 201 -> RGBS Sony BVM A15F5 = black screen
PS3 480p component -> Xselect-D4 -> Extron RGB 201 -> RGBHV Sony 29 CRT = black screen
PS3 480i -> Waka Up Scan -> Extron RGB 201 - RGBS Sony BVM A14F5 = black screen


I also have an Extron RGB 109xi and through it everything shows fine.

Any ideas?
Is it worth climbing inside 201 for dip-switches? pretty hard to take it apart

For the A14 you don't need anything in between the source and the monitor, even for 480p which the monitor can display without additional converters via component.

The 201's usefulness is to combine RGBHV into RGBS, otherwise you don't really need it at all. And these Extron devices work best when receiving TTL c-sync (which should be the case for pretty much any RGBHV/"VGA" source).

yes, but i bought slg3000 and i wanted to use it.

Extron RGB 109xi works fine, but 201 Rxi - no.
