Resumen del contenido incluido en la página 8
Introduction About the SVS 100 Extron’s SVS 100 Seamless Video Switcher is a four-input, one output switcher that provides low-cost seamless switching for applications such as video conferencing, distance learning, staging and video editing, without the need for expensive genlock equipment. The switcher inputs can be NTSC or PAL. The SVS 100 seamlessly switches among the inputs using digital switching effects, such as cuts, wipes, dissolves, and fades. These special effects eliminate the nee

SVS 100 Features Four NTSC or PAL video inputs — • 2 S-video or composite video inputs — 2 rear panel, 4-pin mini-DIN connectors (Input 1 and Input 2) accept luminance (Y) and chrominance (C) input. Alternately, 2 rear panel BNC connectors accept composite video input. The video inputs can be specified through a menu system, as either Auto, Video, or S-video. Auto will automatically select the active input. If S-video and composite video are both input, the SVS 100 will automatically select

Installation Mounting the SVS 100 The SVS 100 Seamless Video Switcher comes with two sets of mounting brackets. One set is for mounting the switcher under a table or against a wall, and the other set is for rack mounting. Table or wall mounting The table/wall mounting brackets extend approximately 1/4” (6.3 mm) above the top surface of the SVS 100 enclosure. This design allows for an air space between the enclosure and the surface on which it is mounted. Table or wall mount the switcher as fol

Rack mounting Rack mount the switcher as follows: 1. Attach the rack mount brackets to the switcher with eight #8 machine screws, provided (see figure 2-1). 2. Insert the switcher into the rack, align the holes in the mounting bracket with those of the rack. 3. Secure the switcher to the rack using the supplied machine screws.

Connect the sleeve to ground (Gnd). Connecting the sleeve to a negative (-) terminal will damage the audio output circuits. By default, the audio output follows the video switch. Audio breakaway, commanded via the Windows-based control program or under RS-232/RS-422 control, allows the user to select from any one of the four audio input sources.

Installation, cont’d If the genlock connectors are used only for vertical interval switching, no horizontal or subcarrier phase adjustments are required, and the Burst Lock LED on the front panel does not light (see Genlock controls and indicators in chapter 3). Genlock setup Genlock differs from simple vertical interval switching in that an external device (a black burst generator) generates a reference sync signal for the system, and every device that uses that signal has its output signal’s h

rotating the encoder knob (see Encoder knob in the next chapter). Adjust the horizontal phase until there is no (0°) difference between the composite video output’s horizontal sync phase and the genlock signal’s horizontal phase. See the Oscilloscope displays section. 7. Set the scope to view the subcarrier signals. Press the SVS 100’s Sub Phase button for 2 seconds (see the Operation chapter) and adjust the sub phase by rotating the encoder knob until there is a zero phase difference between

Installation, cont’d With this method there is no way to know if the signals are 180º out of phase. A delayed sweep on a time-based scope would allow a more accurate display of the input and output signal phase relationships. A vectorscope is more accurate than a waveform monitor. Figure 2-8 shows an example of a vectorscope display when the horizontal phase is adjusted to align it with the burst (genlock) vector. Adjust the horizontal phase by rotating the encoder knob until the difference b
