3.3.2.5.- Scart
A window opens that allows you to select the control of the signals of the SCART:
Figure 44.-
Scart options
Scart auto
:
Normal operating mode of the scart, in other words, when there is a signal in the
scart, it is automatically seen onscreen. It is important to note, however, that this
function depends on the device being used, and therefore, it may be that,
although a device with a video signal is connected to the scart, this may not
appear onscreen. In this case, select the
Scart on
option. When the equipment
is in
Scart auto
mode, and this detects a video signal in the scart, the antenna
icon disappears from the screen (terrestrial or satellite) and instead, a television
icon will appear:
. The user therefore knows that the picture onscreen comes
from the scart and not from the antenna.
Scart on
:
This forces the signal input from the scart connector. In this case, the television
icon
will always appear instead of the antennas, both when there is a signal
from the scart and when there isn’t.
Scart off
:
This disables the scart.
To close the window press the
Clear
button.
Notes:
- It is important to check the status of the scart mode selection, as if it is in
Scart on
mode, we
will not be able to see the TV signal onscreen when we want to use the equipment in normal
mode (input signal in the RF connector).
- If there is a signal in the scart, and if this is being seen onscreen (
auto
or
on
), the meter will
carry on functioning normally as regards the measurements. In other words, the
measurements that are carried out will correspond to the signal at the input of the “F”
connector. It is not possible to take measurements of the scart signal. The same will happen
with the spectrum representation of the signal, in other words, although the picture that we
have onscreen will come from the scart, the spectrum will correspond to the RF input signal.
The only exception is the representation of the synchronism burst; this will indeed
correspond to the synchronism of the scart’s signal.
