Controls and cont’d Controls andInstallation, Installation Front and Rear Panels simultaneously and continuously as the control knob is rotated. Front panel features Rear panel features SECAM PAL 2 1 NTSC INPUT SELECTION NTSC 4.
Controls and Installation, cont’d 6 — H+ (positive H sync output polarity) On — Horizontal sync polarity is positive. See page 3-2 for information about the RS-232 port, and 3-6 for information about the remote contact closure control. Off — Horizontal sync polarity is negative. 7 — V+ (positive V sync output polarity) On — Sync polarity is positive. Off — Sync polarity is negative.
Controls and Installation, cont’d 3. Attach the CD 800 to the rack shelf with two 4-40 x 1/8” screws. Insert the screws from the underside of the shelf, and fasten them securely through opposite corners as shown in the illustration below. Cabling The CD accepts S-video and composite video input. You can connect one device of each type to the appropriate input, and you can connect one RGB display device to the output. You can also connect an RS-232 control device.
Controls and Installation, cont’d Cabling for video loopback CD 800 The CD 800 can be used with a system switcher in video loopback (VLB) mode. Details of this operation are included in Extron’s System 8/10 Plus switcher manual. The composite video, and/or the S-video outputs from the system switcher become the inputs for the CD 800. The RGB output from the CD 800 then connects to a special input on the system switcher. See the typical video loopback setup below.
