Turn all of the equipment off. Make sure that the
source computer, the VSC 150, the output devices
(projector, monitors), genlock device (black burst
generator), and remote control devices are turned off
and disconnected from the power source.
2
Mount the scan converter. See “Mounting the
VSC 150” in this chapter.

Set the rear panel toggle and DIP switches. See “Rear
Panel Features” in this chapter for details.
4
Attach the cables. See “Cabling” and “Rear Panel
Features” in this chapter.
5
Connect power cords and turn on all the equipment.

The image should now appear. If not, ensure that all
devices are plugged in and receiving power. Check
the cabling and rear panel switches, and make
adjustments as needed. See “Troubleshooting” in
this chapter if needed.
