Output CAV standard switch (SW1)

 

 

BETA: 

For BETA/EBU CAV outputs, set SW1 to 
this position. The Y/B-Y/R-Y outputs are 
provided by the green, blue, and red 
connectors respectively. 

GBR 7.5: 

With 525-line inputs, set SW1 to this 
position for GBR outputs with 7.5 IRE setup. 
There is no setup for 625-line GBR outputs. 

GBR: 

For GBR outputs with 0 IRE setup, set SW1 
to this position. 

 
 

Normal and test pattern switch (SW2)

 

 
Normal: 

For normal operation, set SW2 to this 
position. 

Test: 

Set SW2 to Test in order to enable the test 
pattern generator. Make sure a valid 4:2:2
