CVC 300

The Extron CVC 300 Component Video Converter converts all

standard component video formats: NTSC/PAL, DVD, and

Betacam®, to RGBHV or RGBS; and converts SMPTE HDTV

component video to RGBHV. The CVC 300 can also strip

sync-on-green (SOG) from RGsB video. The converter outputs

RGBHV or RGBS video on BNC connectors. The ﬁgure below

shows a typical CVC 300 application.

The component video input formats include SMPTE, HDTV

and Betacam component video. The RGsB video input can be

computer video or NTSC/PAL video.

Mounting

The 1U high, quarter rack width, CVC 300 converter can be

mounted to a rack, under a desk or tabletop, or on a projector

bracket. It can be rack mounted using one-quarter of a 1U

Universal Rack Shelf, RSU 129 (part #60-190-01) or 1U Basic

Rack Shelf, RSB 129 (part #60-604-01).

UL rack mounting guidelines

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) guidelines

pertain to the installation of the CVC 300 into a rack.

Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the1.

equipment is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack

assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the

rack environment may be greater than room ambient

temperature. Therefore, install the converter in an

environment compatible with the maximum ambient

temperature (Tma = +104 °F, +40 °C) speciﬁed by Extron.

Introduction

CVC 300 • Installation

Introduction

Reduced air ﬂow — Install the equipment in a rack so that2.

the amount of air ﬂow required for safe operation of the

equipment is not compromised.

Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so3.

that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven

mechanical loading.

Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to4.

the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit

overloading might have on overcurrent protection and

supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment

nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this

concern.

Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable5.

grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular

attention to supply connections other than direct

connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

Mounting instructions

Rack mount the CVC 300 as follows:

Remove the feet from the CVC, if they were previously1.

installed.

Mount the CVC 300 on the rack shelf, using two2.

4-40 x 3/16" screws in opposite corners (under the shelf) to

secure the converter to the shelf (see below).

Use 2 mounting holes on

opposite corners.

Power Supply Wiring

CVC 300 • Power Supply Wiring

Power supply wiring

NThis product is intended to be powered by a UL Listed

power supply with an output rated at 12 VDC, 2 A.

Wire the supplied male power connector (plug) as shown below.

Captive Screw Connector

SECTION A–A

Power Supply

Output Cord

Ridges

Smooth

Tie Wrap

CPower supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect

polarity can damage the power supply and the product.

Identify the power cord negative lead by the ridges on the

side of the cord.

NThe length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires is

important. The ideal length is 3/16” (5 mm). Longer bare

wires can short together. Shorter wires are not as secure in

the captive screw connectors and could be pulled out.

Do not tin the stripped power supply leads. Tinned wires

are not as secure in the captive screw connectors and could

be pulled out.

To verify the polarity before connection, plug in the power

supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.

WThe two power cord wires must be kept separate while

the power supply is plugged in. Remove power before

wiring.

As an alternative, an Extron PS 123 Universal 12 VDC Power

Supply, part #60-814-01, can power multiple Extron 12 VDC

devices using only one AC power connector.

Insert the wired plug into the power connector on the rear

panel, then connect AC power.
