Quick Start Guide
NXA-RGB Modero RGB/VGA Interface Card
For more detailed installation, operation, and firmware setup instructions,
refer to the VG-Series Modero Touch Panels instruction manual available
on-line at www.amx.com.
Overview
The NXA-RGB (FIG. 1) is an RGB/VGA plug-in interface card (FG2260)
that allows any of AMX’s VG-Series Modero Touch Panels to accept either
RGB or HDTV Component signals directly from an external source when
routed through an optional NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box. This card is field
upgradeable and works in-tandem with the RGB connector on the front of
an NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box.
The NXA-RGB card is an optional accessory that can be added to any
VG-Series Modero panel as part of an upgrade kit. The NXA-RGB card is a
daughter card that plugs into the Modero’s main board. This card provides
the ability to display computer graphics (RGB) or component (YCrCb) video
within a full screen or resizeable on-screen window on the Modero panel.

RGB RJ-45 Connection and Wiring
This RJ-45 connector is used to route the signals connected to the
RGB / Component input port on the rear of the AVB/RGB Breakout Box to
the VG-Series Modero panel. A standard CAT5 cable can be used for this
connection with short cable runs under 50 feet (15.24 m). For cable runs
over 50 feet (15.24 m), AMX recommends using the Belden Brilliance
VideoTwist 7987. This Belden cable is not CAT5 compliant, but is designed
to control skew between the red, green, and blue video signals. Therefore,
for longer cable runs, the video quality will be much higher using the Belden
VideoTwist 7987 cable versus standard CAT5 (or other Ethernet compliant
cables). The pinout of this RGB connector is given in the table below.
Note: It is important that the correct pairing is observed.
Installation of the NXA-RGB Card within a Table Top Panel
These procedures involve removing the outer housing, installing the card,
and then securely replacing the outer housing back onto the NXT panel.
Step 1: Removing the existing NXT Outer Housing
1. Carefully detach all connectors from the rear of the touch panel.
2. Gently place the touch panel LCD facedown onto a soft cloth to
expose the under-side of the base (FIG. 2) and prevent scratching of
the LCD. Tilt the base forward to provide easy access to the flat-head
and pan-head Housing Screws.
