VM472 VIDEO MASTER IS NOW IN A RACK WITH DUAL OUTPUT AND NEW FEATURES

 

The VM472 VIDEO MASTER is a baseband video processor with two video outputs that automatically establish correct sync pulse amplitude, video amplitude, clamps out low frequency interference and automatically corrects any loss in high frequency response. The VM472 input level operating range is 0.5 to 2.0 Volts peak-to-peak. Over this range the video output level will be controlled to a standard 1 Volt peak-to-peak. Levels outside this range will be automatically bypassed to the output connector by a relay. If a power failure occurs the video is automatically by-passed to the output connector.

The Sync level is automatically gain-regulated to 40 IRE Units. Both high and low level signals are corrected. Luminance (White level) is automatically gain-regulated so as not to exceed 100 IRE Units, (but still permits a fade to Black). White level is not clipped, and is gain controlled to retain its linear gray scale.

Color Burst and Chrominace are corrected to 40 I.R.E. units and Luminance-to-Chrominance ratio is automatically corrected to compensate for cable slope loss or other sources of high frequency attenuation.

Back Porch Clamping eliminates all incoming low frequency distortion such as 60 cycle ground loops. The Clamp gain is field programmable for high and low clamping conditions.

A front panel video level clip control can be used if video needs to be clipped. The level is adjustable and a peak clip LED indicates the point of clipping. This control can be set just above the normal video level to prevent high level high frequency transient signals from over-driving the down stream equipment.

Since VM472 processes sync and picture peak voltages through a time-gated Automatic Level Control System, the timing relationships within a video signal remain unaffected. Therefore horizontal Sync, Color Burst Timing, and Chrominance Phase retain their original relationship. This feature distinguishes the VM472 from Proc Amps that strip and re-insert new sync signals.

The VM472 insures constant standard video signals when video from a multitude of variable level sources are used. This insures correct CATV Scrambler operation and video recording levels. The Video Master can be used ahead of a TV modulator to guarantee correct depth of modulation to prevent high video levels and titling from creating sync buzz.
