Modero VG Series Touch Panels - Instruction Manual
RGB RJ-45 Connection and Wiring Information
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. 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: The Belden cable only adjusts for RGB skew but may still need to be configured properly for cable length by using the Cable
Variance setting on the RGB Adjustment page (Video - RGB Settings Page section on page 108).
NOTE: It is important that the correct pairing is observed.
NXA-CFTP Compact Flash (FG2116-22)
Every Modero panel is shipped with two factory default modules: an EXM Memory Module and a Compact Flash card. These panels
are shipped with a 256 memory module which is not upgradeable. The default 128 MB Compact Flash card is factory programmed
with specific panel firmware and is the only upgradeable memory component. This component can be ordered from AMX in several
different upgrade sizes (as listed in the following table):
Upgrading the internal components involves opening the panel enclosure/outer housing to access the internal circuit board,
removing the existing part, and replacing them with the upgrade components, as described in the following sections.
NOTE: It is recommended that any upgrade of internal equipment be done simultaneously in order to reduce the risk of damage to
internal components.
NXA-PCI80211G Wireless Card (FG2255-04)
The 1200V-Series and VG-Series Modero touch panels can connect to an internal NXA-PCI80211G mini-PCI Wireless Card
(FIG. 13) connected to two antennas (57-2250-10).
The NXA-PCI80211G card functions using a 2.4GHz bandwidth with a maximum data transfer rate of 54Mbps. This card is
compatible with IEEE 802.11 standards such as: 802.11b and 802.11g.
The NXA-80211G allows the end-user to take advantage of larger bandwidth to utilize features such as: streaming digital video and
audio, wireless intercom, Motion JPEG, networked video, and standard wireless Ethernet communication to both a NetLinx
controller and networked computers.
