Troubleshooting Warm Start The Warm Start procedure is similar to a cold start. This reset will perform a cold start on the unit, but will not erase the Presets from memory. To perform a Warm Start: 1. Push and hold the EXIT button and PRESET buttons for a minimum of five seconds until the Warm Start message appears on the display. 2. Once the message appears, the Warm start is complete. Cold Start after VFlash After a VFlash update is performed, cycle the power and perform a cold start to continue.

Appendix C ♦ RCU-2000 Remote Control Unit The RCU-2000 remote control unit enables remote control of as many as 30 VTM-2000s. Installing the RCU-2000 Figure C-1. RCU- 2000 Front and Back Panel Views Table C-1. Description of RCU-2000 Back Panel Connectors Label Description TO MAIN UNIT RJ11 connector that connects to the REMOTE connector on the VTM-2000 and provides communication. The communication parameters are 8 data bits, no parity, with the baud rate fixed at 38,400 bps.

RCU-2000 Remote Control Unit connector on the back of the RCU, as illustrated in Figure C-2. The RCU-2000 must be at one end of the RS-422 bus. The last VTM-2000 instrument must be terminated at the other end by selecting TERMINATION in the COMMUNICATIONS\RCU PORT menu. Figure C-2. Connecting the RCU to Multiple VTM-2000 6. Once connected, select the VTM-2000 instrument to be controlled by the RCU-2000 by pressing and holding the SETUP and EXIT buttons simultaneously on the RCU-2000 simultaneously.

RCU-2000 Remote Control Unit 9. The VTM-2000 polls the selected RCU-2000 every five seconds. If the VTM-2000 instrument fails to receive the poll after 60 seconds, the RCU-2000 assumes that a communication break has occurred. The LEDs flashing indicates a communication break. When communication is once again established, the LEDs will reflect the current setting.

It defines the sampling systems, matrix values, and filter characteristics for digital television. 8 VSB Vestigial sideband modulation with 8 discrete amplitude levels. 16 VSB Vestigial sideband modulation with 16 discrete amplitude levels. Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) The parent organization that developed, tested and described the form and function of the US digital television formats.
PAGE 104
Glossary Broadcast Legal Encoding video signal parameters to conform to prescribed limits for broadcast. Encoding rules vary by NTSC, PAL, country and broadcast facility. BTSC Broadcast Television Standards Committee. A US standard for stereo audio encoding in NTSC broadcast television. CAV Component Analog Video CES Consecutive Errored Samples Composite Video A single video signal that includes all color video and timing information.
PAGE 105
Glossary Default A factory preset value or condition. Demodulator A receiver, such as for television broadcast, cable, and closed circuit applications. A TV demodulator receives and processes off-air or cable RF signals and provides baseband video and audio outputs. DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Differential Gain A measurement that specifies how much the chrominance gain is affected by the luminance level.
PAGE 106
Glossary ENG Electronic News Gathering Encoded Clip Softness In the encoded legalization process, “softness,” as applied to encoded clips, refers to the processing of the video at the point of the clip. The clips are applied in YCBCR color space. The clip point is either an immediate limit (no softness) or will have a range of values leading to the clip point, all reduced to smooth the clip point to a less immediate limit (softness).
PAGE 107
Glossary Frame Store An electronic method of capturing and storing a single frame of video. Gamma This term applies to the linearity of the change from black to white. Gamma controls adjust the gray or 50% point of the video either up or down, with the effect of changing the gray level of the video. Gamut The whole or total of whatever is being addressed. In color space, gamut refers to all colors which are included in a particularly defined color group, such as 601 gamut.
PAGE 108
Glossary Key Mask In a key effect, it uses a wipe pattern from the wipe pattern generator to restrict the key cut from removing video in a portion of the screen. This requires the use of the wipe pattern generator and the Mask/Preset Size controls. Key Source Another term which is the same as key cut. Legalization The modification of serial digital video to conform to analog color space rules, as required by users.
PAGE 109
Glossary Multi-Level Effects Applies to any effects generator which can do more than one effect at a time. Typically, a multi level switcher can produce a Key and a Background transition in the same effects generator at one time. NTSC National Television Systems Committee, the color television system used in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Japan.

Glossary Program and System Information Protocol (PSIP) Information sent out as part of an ATSC transport stream which lists all of the video, audio, data and program information contained in the stream. This is the "TV guide" for a given stream. Progressive Scanning Also non-interlaced. A system of video scanning where lines of a picture are transmitted consecutively, such as with VGA monitor displays.
PAGE 111
Glossary Signal to Noise Ratio-8VSB (SNR) As applies to 8VSB transmissions, this is a calculated average power of the ideal signal divided by the actual demodulated signal power. SMPTE Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers Standard Definition Television (SDTV) This term is used to signify a digital television system in which the quality is approximately equivalent to that of NTSC. This equivalent quality may be achieved from pictures originated at the 4:2:2 level of ITU-R BT.
PAGE 112
Glossary VITC Vertical Interval Time Code, a method for recording on to video tape the timecode address for each video frame inserted in the vertical interval. Waveform A visual representation of a signal in the shape of a wave that plots amplitude versus time. White Level The brightest part of a video signal, corresponding to approximately 1.0 Volt. White Balance An electronic process used to calibrate the picture for accurate color display in different lighting conditions.
