ADJUSTING PARAMETERS FROM THE FRONT PANEL

Use the Mode, Right Arrow, and Left Arrow buttons to select and adjust
parameters from the front panel.

Pressing the Mode button activates the front panel for editing and tabs between
each section of editable parameters.

Pressing the Right Arrow or Left Arrow advances the selection within a given
section of parameters, or increases (Right Arrow) or decreases (Left Arrow) the
value of a selected parameter.

The LED of an edited parameter will blink for 15 seconds, after which time its value is
stored in memory. If power is interrupted before this 15 second timeout period has
elapsed, the edited state will not be not saved.

The controls and their indicators are described below:

Source Select Mode

This control selects the video input with the following choices:

Cpst – Analog Composite Video

Y/C – S-Video Composite Video

Beta – Component Video in Beta format

SMPTE – Component Video in SMPTE format

Bars – Selects internal Color Bar Generator

ChkFld – Selects internal CheckField Generator

The green indicator under the selected source will be illuminated.

TBC/Frame Sync Mode

This control turns the TBC/Frame Sync function on/off. Use the left arrow to turn
it off, the right arrow to turn on. The indicator illuminates green when it is on.

Gain Mode

This control adjusts the overall gain of the analog video signals passing through
the converter. The right arrow will increase the gain, the left arrow will decrease
it. The indicator will illuminate green when the gain is set to its nominal or unity
setting. This is the setting which will produce correct digital output levels from
an analog input source which itself is at proper level. The indicator will show red
whenever the control is adjusted either higher or lower than the nominal setting.
The gain can be reset to nominal (green) by pressing both arrows simultaneously.
