Timing tab 

These controls provide access to timing adjustments which affect 
the signal outputs. There are three slider controls, each with a data 
reporting box which shows the current value, and into which values 
can be typed directly.  If the Frame Sync option is not enabled, 
only the Horizontal delay may be accessed. 

 
VERTICAL: 0, 1, …, 523, 524 (for 525 operation), 623, 624 (for 
625 operation):

 sets the number of lines for vertical delay.   This 

control is available when the 

Frame Sync option

 has been 

activated (see 

Options

 tab). 

 
HORIZONTAL (µs):  69.7, 70, …, 132, 133.22 (for 525 operation), 
133.7 (for 625 operation): 

sets the horizontal delay in µs

 

HORIZONTAL FINE:  -40, -39 …, 39, 40: 

provides fine adjustment 

for the horizontal delay

This control is available when the 

Frame 

Sync option

 has been activated (see 

Options

 tab). 

 

FRAME DELAY Pulldown box: 

sets delay by frame steps:  0, 1, or 

2 frames.  

 

This control is available when the 

Frame Sync option

 

has been activated (see 

Options

 tab).

 

 
 
 
 

Reference Input tab 

These controls allow selection of the reference signal. 
 

REFERENCE SOURCE:  

Select between 

AUTO

EXTERNAL

 (use 

the REF input signal connected to the rear panel), 

URS

 (see 

below) or 

INPUT

 (use the input video signal as reference) as the 

reference source.  AUTO mode searches for available signal in this 
order: REF input, URS and finally video input signal. 
 
URS FORMAT:  Select between OFF, 525 or 625 for the Universal 
Reference Signal format

 

The URS is a multistandard audio/video reference 
generated by an REF-1801 card, and distributed 
internally to all cards in the Densité frame 

 

The REF-1801 card must be installed in slot 10 of the 
Densité frame
