Configuration

The configuration tab provides access to the following:

 

PAL/NTSC/Auto -  standard selection

 

YC/Composite – format selection

 

8 bit/10 bit – simple or comb/bandsplit filter decoding

 

Comb/bandsplit – use bandsplit if input unsuitable for comb filter

 

Blank or unblank the VBI interval

 

Pedestal – pass or block the NTSC pedestal

 

Status – input and reference presence

Configuration

Input settings

Input settings are as follows:

Input setting

Description

PAL/NTSC/Auto

Force input standard or allow automatic switching between PAL and NTSC

YC /Composite

Select Y/C (S-Video) or composite input format

Note:

When the input is NTSC the Y/C mode automatically sets the module into 8 bit mode.
Use the DEC102 for 10 bit mode with NTSC inputs in Y/C format.
