Without (DENSITÉ)
controller
: place the jumper over pins
3-4 "AUTO-CAL" of LK2. Insert the card. The LED is
yellow. The calibration starts after 2 s, wait
approximately 20 seconds for the LED to return green.
Remove the card and place the jumper over pins 5-6
"NORMAL" of LK2 and insert the card.
With (DENSITÉ) controller
: place the jumper over pins 5-
6 "NORMAL" of LK2. Insert the card. Wait for the LED
to become green. Enter the VEA-1023's menu by
pressing the Select button on the card edge. With the
chassis controller, from "STATUS" press [-], from
"CALIBRATION" press [SELECT], from
"AUTOCALIBRATION" press [SELECT], from "START"
press [SELECT], then "AUTOCALIBRATING" will
appear. The auto-calibration ends with either
"SUCCESS" or "OUT OF RANGE". If out of range,
there is no input signal or the correction needed is out
of the VEA-1023's range. Check the input signal.
With iControl
: Select auto-calibration and wait for the
result. If the result is "OUT OF RANGE”, there is no
input signal or the correction needed is out of the VEA-
1023's range. Check the input signal.
The VEA-1023 is now calibrated and ready for use.
NOTE: The "GAIN ADJ" and "EQ ADJ" potentiometers are
used to set the reference gain and equalization levels.
These levels are used during the auto-calibration process.
Hence, turning the potentiometers while in normal mode
(jumper on pins 5-6 "NORMAL" of LK2) will have no
immediate effect. The effect will be seen only after the next
auto-calibration. If this happens, the First-time Calibration
and Auto-calibration procedures described above must be
redone.
NOTE: if you push on the Select button during the
calibration, until the led returns green, the final value
will replace the factory default value.
According to the video input signal, NTSC or PAL, the card
will store two different factory default values: one for
NTSC and one for PAL.
Clamp Settings
The degree of clamping applied to the input signal can be
adjusted using the jumper LK1 (see the figure on page 4
for its location)
Jumper position
Degree of clamping
1 – 2
None
