Next connect an input cable and an output cable to either the Composite Video or
S-Video connectors. If the unit has power applied, it should begin to function as a Time
Base Corrector.

OPERATING THE UNIT
The 1T-TBC-GL and 1T-TBC Time Base Converters are identical with the exception of a
genlock provision in the 1T-TBC-GL version. (A discussion of the genlock capability is
contained in section 5.7 below).
The 1T-TBC-GL and 1T-TBC are operated via selection buttons referenced to indicator
LEDs.
Please refer to the drawing below for the discussion that follows.

Initial Power Up
When power is applied to the unit, it will default to the auto detect mode and also select
the proper Television Standard. The letters on the panel above the bottom row of LEDS
will indicate the standard selected:
Setting Description
A
Auto-Detect TV Standard
S
SECAM Standard
PN
PAL-N
PM
PAL-M
P
PAL
N4
NTSC 4.43 MHz
N
NTSC 3.58 MHz
S
Select System Mode
As an example of how the auto-detect works, if you live in the United States or Japan, the
standard will be the NTSC 3.58 and the unit will light the “A” LED plus the “N” LED. In the
United Kingdom, the standard will be PAL so the “A” LED will light as well as the “P” LED.
Finally, in France, the “A” and “S” (for SECAM) LEDs will light.
