Instruction Manual 

 

Introduction 

Video  image  quality  is  often  determined  by  a  combination  of  multiple 
factors  such  as  camera  alignment  and  calibration.  The  location  of  the 
production  and  the  brands  of  connected  video  devices  especially  under 
Electronic  Field  Production  (EFP)  conditions  can  cause  variable  image 
quality  in  terms  of  brightness,  colour  saturation,  and  white  balance 
between  different  video  sources.  Traditionally,  experienced  camera 
operators would align equipment before a production in order to avoid too 
much  time  and  resources  being  spent  on  adjusting  images  in  post  
production.  
 
In  order  to  make  this  alignment  process  easier  and  more  efficient, 
Datavideo  presents the  VS-100, a  cost-effective  Sampling Video  Scope.   
This unit provides quick, accurate and standardized ways to calibrate and 
align signals from cameras and other video equipment. Its small size and 
DC  voltage  input  means  that  it  can  be  a  go-anywhere  engineering  tool 
when paired with a HD / SD monitor like the Datavideo TLM-700HD or  a 
rack  based  studio  tool  when  paired  with  a  TLM-702HD  monitor. 
Alternatively it can be used with any HDMI or SDI monitor. 

 

The  VS-100  can  be  used to  test and  compare  the  accuracy  of  incoming 
video  signals  from  cameras  and/or  connected  equipment.  The  VS-100 
can  accept  either  SDI  or  HD-SDI  input  for  signal  analysis.  The  VS-100 
can be set up to provide a clean video loop through on SDI/HD-SDI whilst 
still  allowing  video  scope  views  on  its  HDMI  output.  Alternatively  the 
scope view can also be displayed as a 1280 x 720 HD-SDI output.
