System Button Function
If you press the Select button until the System LED is illuminated on the top row, you can
gain access to the bottom row of functions. You can then either automatically or manually
select the input Television Standard you wish to use.
NOTE: Pressing the Reset button toggles between automatic and manual selection of the desired standard. Although
you can manually select the standard, it is generally best to allow the unit to make the standard selection.
To force a manual input selection of the desired standard, make certain the System LED is
lighted, and then press the Reset button, which places the input selection in the Manual
mode. Next, press the DOWN arrow button to step through the various standards.
Pressing the Reset button a second time reverts back to automatic selection of the
standard.
5.3
Adjustment of Signal Parameters
Another user operation is the selection of a particular picture parameter you wish to
change. For instance: If you wish to adjust the amount of color in the picture, press the
Select button until the LED below the abbreviation “CLR” is flashing. Next press the UP
and Down Arrow buttons to either increase or decrease the amount of color in the picture.
Use the same procedure for Sharpness, Tint, Brightness and Contrast: Press the Select
button until you have reached the picture variable you wish to change and then use the
arrow buttons to make the actual adjustment.
5.4
Additional Reset Button Functions
Pressing the Reset Button while you have one of the adjustment parameters selected will
cause the 1T-TBC-GL or 1T-TBC to revert to the default setting for that parameter. If you
press and hold the Reset button for more than 3 seconds, ALL adjustment parameters will
be reset to their default settings.

Using the Genlock Capability (1T-TBC-GL Only)
The 1T-TBC-GL model has the ability to lock its output to a reference signal. This allows the
unit’s output to be used in a studio environment as an input to a video switcher or special
effects device requiring a timed video input source.
Additionally, the genlock capability also includes a loop through function. This allows one
genlock signal to be cascaded from one 1T-TBC-GL to another thereby providing multiple
timed video sources if needed. If you only intend to use a single 1T-TBC-GL, set the switch
on the back on the unit marked TERM 75
to the “On” position. This will ensure that the
impedance of the genlock source is properly terminated. Similarly, if you cascade several
1T-TBC-GL genlock inputs using the loop through capability, also make certain you switch
the termination of the last unit to “On”.
