5.0 OPERATING THE UNIT
Once you have connected the DV-1394-A70 as described above, you must be certain
that the inputs are being fed appropriate signals and are not suffering from signal loss
due to cabling problems or problems with the source device.
If your connections are all proper, press the power button on the front of the DV-1394-
A70.
5.1 Default Condition and Selecting Inputs
When you first apply power to the DV-1394-A70, the unit is in the Decode Mode,
meaning it is expecting a DV input. If you want to encode Analog Video to the DV
format, press the front panel button labeled ‘D/A Switch’ once. This action will force the
unit to perform an auto-detect on the analog inputs. The checking for valid inputs is
done in the following order: Composite Video, S-Video and YCbCr. (You can also step
through the various input types by pressing the ‘DA Switch’ to force a selection after the
auto-detect function has run. Doing so will sequentially step through DV, CV, S-V and
YCbCr.)
Note: If you intend to use only the auto-detect function, you’ll need to remove the
sources you do not want that are upstream of the one you do want. For example, if you
want to encode S-Video into DV video, you would remove the Composite Video source
from the input making the S-Video signal the first valid signal detected by the DV-1394-
A70.
