Saving Settings 
 
The Pixie-FS will save the settings you have made 
automatically. After a setting has been adjusted, let 
the Pixie-FS sit for approximately 15 seconds. The 
LOCK LED will rapidly flash 5 times when the settings 
are being saved. Once the LED goes steady your 
settings are saved. 
 
Transcoding 
 
The Transcoding function allows the input video signal 
to be converted from either Composite video to S-
Video or S-Video to Composite video. This function is 
controlled by both the “Mode #9 S-Video” control and 
an internal jumper at JP3. The jumper at JP3 
commands the Pixie to output video as either 
Composite or S-Video. Transcoding is configured as 
follows 
 
 Mode #9 JP3 Input Output 
Composite In Out-CVS Composite Composite 
Composite In Y-Out Composite S-Video 
S-Video In Out-CVS S-Video Composite 
S-Video In Y-Out S-Video S-Video
