Frequently Asked Questions - X3 RGBlink

How do I connect my laptop to the X3?

Use an HDMI cable from your laptop's HDMI output to the HDMI input on the X3. If your laptop has only a DVI or VGA output, use an appropriate adapter or cable. Select the correct input on the front panel.

Can I scale the input resolution to match my display?

Yes, the X3 provides video scaling functionality. Use the front panel menu or control software to set the desired output resolution. The scaler supports common resolutions up to 1920x1200.

How do I perform a seamless switch between two sources?

Connect both sources to different inputs (e.g., HDMI 1 and HDMI 2). On the X3, press the button corresponding to the first source to display it, then press the button for the second source. The transition will be seamless if the frame sync is enabled.

What resolutions does the X3 support?

The X3 supports input and output resolutions up to 1920x1200 @ 60Hz, including standard formats like 1080p, 720p, and various VESA timings.

Can I control the X3 via computer?

Yes, you can control the X3 over RS-232 or Ethernet using the dedicated software (RGBlink X3 Controller or third-party apps via UDP/TCP). Refer to the manual for protocol details.

What is the Picture-in-Picture (PiP) feature and how do I use it?

PiP allows you to display a smaller inset window of a second source over the main source. Enable PiP from the menu, select the inset source, and adjust its position and size.

How do I update the firmware?

Download the latest firmware from the RGBlink website. Copy the firmware file to a USB drive, insert it into the X3's USB port, and follow the on-screen prompts or menu instructions to initiate the update.

My output display shows no signal. What should I check?

First, verify that the input source is powered and connected properly. Ensure the X3's input is set to the correct port. Check that the output resolution is supported by your display. Try a different cable or port.

Is the X3 compatible with HDCP?

The X3 supports HDCP pass-through for HDMI and DVI inputs/outputs. However, HDCP-protected content may prevent scaling or conversion in some scenarios.

What is the warranty period for the X3?

Standard warranty is 2 years from the date of purchase. Please register your product on the RGBlink website to activate warranty coverage.
