Description
Extron’s YCS Transcoder is both a composite video to S-video
(luminance (Y) and chrominance (C)) decoder and an S-video to
composite video encoder. The inputs also have buffered loopouts. The
transcoder can convert either NTSC 3.58 or PAL video. A 3-line adaptive
comb filter performs the Y/C separation, virtually eliminating chroma
noise.
The decoder function separates composite video to Y and C signals for
an S-video output. The composite video input is also buffered with a
loopout. A DIP switch defines the standard of the composite video
input as either NTSC 3.58 or PAL.
The encoder function encodes S-video to a composite video output. The
S-video input is also buffered with a loopout.
All composite inputs and outputs are on BNC connectors. All S-video
inputs and outputs are on 4-pin mini-DIN connectors.
The rack-mountable transcoder has an external power supply and is
available in a world version.
Installation
For optional rack mounting, mount up to four YCS Transcoders on a 19"
1U Universal Rack Shelf (Extron P/N 60-190-01) (figure 1).

Mount the YCS Transcoder on the rack shelf, using two 4-40 x 3/
16 screws in opposite (diagonal) corners to secure the case to the
shelf.

If necessary, mount the half-rack false front panel and/or the
quarter-rack false front panel (included with the Universal Rack
Shelf) alongside the transcoder, using two 4-40 x 3/16 screws in
the front holes for each panel.
