TM

 

ANALOG WAY 

EDITION : 03/08 

CONNECTIONS: 

  Turn OFF all of your equipment before connecting. 

  Connect the AC power supply cord to the TETRA VIO and to an AC power outlet. 

  Connect your computer & video sources to the 3 universal inputs of the TETRA VIO. 

- If you need to connect a digital computer source, use the input #2 (DVI-I  IN connector). 
- Connect your other analog sources to the inputs #1 and AUXILIARY (front panel).

  

IMPORTANT: 

Connect only one source by input. 

  Connect your SDI or HDSDI video source to the input #3. 

  Connect your Hi-Resolution display device (projector, plasma screen...) to the HD15 connector, or connect your video display device (TV, VCR...) to 

the mini DIN (S.VIDEO), BNC (composite PAL/NTSC) or HD15 connectors, or connect your DVI display device to the DVI-I connector, or connect 
your digital display device to the SD/HD-SDI BNC connectors. 

NOTE:

 

-In SDTV output  format, the Composite video, S-VIDEO,  YUV/RGSB/RGBS, SDI & DVI  signals are available simultaneously (on 
respectively BNC, mini DIN, HD15, BNC & DVI connectors). 
-In EDTV output format, the YUV/RGSB/RGBS & DVI signals are available simultaneously (on respectively HD15 & DVI connectors). 

 

-In HDTV output  format, the YUV/RGSB/RGBS, SDI  & DVI-D YUV/RGB (16-235) signals are available simultaneously  (on 
respectively HD15, BNC & DVI connectors). 

 

-In  Computer output  format, the RGBHV/RGBS/RGsB & DVI-D RGB (0-255) signals are available simultaneously (on respectively 
HD15 & DVI connectors). 

  Turn ON the TETRA VIO (rear panel switch). Then turn ON all your input sources and then your display device.

SETTINGS:

 

 

  We recommend resetting the TETRA  VIO to  its 

default values

, with the front panel display menu (

CONTROL > Default values  > Yes

)  before 

proceeding. 

  Activate  the auto-setting  function (Press the SETUP front panel button or select auto-setting  with the front panel display

 

menu 

INPUT > Auto 

setting

). This function detects automatically the input type of the source connected to the input connectors. Then the device performs an auto-

centering function.

 

  Select the Input status menu 

(INPUT > Input status

) to verify the correct detection of the type and format of your input source. If a wrong message 

is displayed, select manually the type of your input source (

INPUT > Input # > Type

). Renew the step 

 for each input connected to the device. 

  In case of audio connection, assign the audio input to the needed video input (

INPUT > Input # > Audio input

). 

  Select the 

output

 

format

 which corresponds to your display device with the front panel display menu (

OUTPUT > Output format

). 

  Select one of the 

output rate 

available with the front panel display menu (

OUTPUT > Output rate

). 

  Select the 

output type 

with the front panel display menu (

OUTPUT > Analog type & DVI type

). 

  For each input source connected to the TETRA VIO, make the following adjustments available in the IMAGE menu.
