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.

3. While holding the outer housing and base plate at a 45°, use a

grounded Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the eight Housing

Screws.

4. Rotate the panel back over (while gripping the entire unit with outer

housing) and rest the base on a flat surface.

5. Tilt the LCD backward to a 45° angle.

6. In a single motion, carefully pull the outer housing up and then out

(away from the LCD panel) to expose the internal circuit board

(FIG. 3).

7. Unscrew the Stereo Output nut from the Stereo Output jack.

8. Firmly grab the existing connector plate and slide it up and away from

the base. This part is later replaced with the RGB connector plate.

Step 2: Installing RGB Card Components

1. Discharge any static electricity from your body by touching a

grounded metal object.

2. Locate the RGB card’s slot connector on the main board and align it

with its counterpart on the bottom of the NXA-RGB card.

3. Carefully, but firmly, insert the NXA-RGB card into the RGB

connector slot on the main board until both the card rests atop the

four raised securing holes and the RGB RJ-45 connector is evenly

aligned with the other RJ-45 connectors on the back of the panel.

4. Use a grounded Phillips-head screwdriver to secure the four

NXA-RGB pan-head securing screws to the raised securing holes on

the main board.

Step 3: Replacing the NXT Outer Housing

1. Obtain the new RGB I/O connector plate (similar to the original but

containing the added RGB connector opening to the newly installed

NXA-RGB) and slide it back into position.

2. Resecure the Stereo Output nut back onto the new RGB I/O plate.

3. Once the RGB card has been installed, tilt the LCD back to a 45° and

then gently slide-on the outer housing (towards the LCD) until the it is

aligned over the installation holes and the tilt bracket prevents any

further forward movement (FIG. 3).

4. Gently press down on the housing (toward the base) until it is

securely positioned over the circuit board and covers base.

5. While holding the outer housing and base plate in place, turn the

panel back over until the LCD lies facedown on a soft cloth and the

under-side of the base is exposed.

6. Insert and secure the eight Housing Screws (using a grounded

Phillips-head screwdriver) into their respective locations (FIG. 2).

7. Grasp both the LCD and housing, then rotate the entire unit back

onto a flat surface then insert all connectors and apply power.

Installation of the NXA-RGB Card within a WallMount Panel

These procedures involve upgrading an NXD with a new NXA-RGB card.

Step 1: Removing the existing NXD Outer Housing

1. Carefully detach all connectors from the side of the touch panel and

remove the front magnetic faceplate from the NXD unit by firmly

gripping the faceplate and pulling outwards, while applying a small

amount of pressure to remove it from the main unit.

2. Place the LCD facedown onto a soft cloth to expose the under-side of

the unit and prevent scratching of the LCD.

3. Unscrew the Stereo Output nut from the Stereo Output jack.

4. Remove the I/O connector plate by using a grounded Phillips-head

screwdriver to remove the two screws and slide the I/O connector

plate away from the back box housing.

5. Unscrew the four pan-head Housing Screws from the rear of the

NXD unit (FIG. 4) and gently remove the outer housing. These four

screws secure the back box to the internal panel casing.

6. To install the NXA-RGB card onto the NXD main board, use the

procedures outlined in the previous Step 2: Installing RGB Card

Components section.

Step 3: Replacing the NXD Outer Housing

1. Once the card has been securely installed, gently place the outer

housing back onto the metallic panel casing (with the connector

opening on the right-side of the panel) and align the four pan-head

Housing Screw holes along the edges of the outer housing.

Note: Use care not to bend or damage any antenna connections

while replacing the outer housing.

2. Insert and secure the four pan-head Housing Screws into the

pre-drilled holes along the edges of the NXD unit by using a

grounded Phillips-head screwdriver.

3. Remove the previous I/O plate adhesive overlay (this reveals a

pre-drilled RGB connector opening) and replace it with the new

adhesive RGB overlay (53-2250-03).

4. Reinstall the upgraded RGB I/O connector plate by aligning all

connectors to their respective locations.

5. Secure the I/O plate using a grounded Phillips-head screwdriver and

then twist the nut back onto the Stereo Output jack.
