W

The two power cord wires must be kept separate while

the power supply is plugged in. Remove the power

before wiring.

N

Do not tin the power supply leads before installing in the

direct insertion connector. Tinned wires are not as secure
in the connectors and could be pulled out.

Gain adjustment control

The gain control adjusts picture brightness by compensating

for signal amplitude loss caused by cable resistance. To adjust

the output gain, view the display while using a small, flat-blade

screwdriver to rotate the potentiometer. This control produces

a gain adjustment ranging from -1 dB to + 3 dB (video and luma

of S-video) and from 0 dB to +10 dB (chroma of S-video). Select

the setting that gives the best picture brightness.

N

The gain control is a potentiometer with a mechanical stop

at the high and the low end. After you have reached the

high or low end of the adjustment, no change is apparent
on the display. The default is unity (the dot position)

You can judge the adjustment visually by viewing the display.

For a more precise setting use an oscilloscope or a waveform

monitor connected to the far end of the output cable, and adjust

the gain so that the level at the waveform monitor is 100 IRE.

Equalization (EQ) adjustment control

The equalization control adjusts the output level and peaking

to get a sharp picture. This adjustment changes the level and

peaking of the output signal to compensate for capacitance

caused by up to 1000 feet (300 meters) of Extron MHR cable.
This control produces an equalization adjustment ranging from

0 dB to + 7 dB (video and luma of S-video).
