Transcoder and Time Base Corrector (DPS-465)

FS1

FS2

Usage

These transcoder/TBCs can convert from just about anything to anything else: NTSC, YUV/CAV, Y/C, SDI. They don't do RGBS or Audio.

Since these boxes are both transcoders (converters) and timebase correctors, the transcoded signal is properly sync'd. That's particularly important for sources like SITN, which don't come with their own sync.

Connection

Configuration Hints

The top middle button is the main one that you'll use is the one to select the input - VHS, SVHS, component (CAV), or digital (SDI).

Additional notes

Troubleshooting

If the chroma is wierd and jittery and the Auto little LED in the bottom left corner of the control panel is lit, the Sync Level is wrong. It should be set to TBC not Auto. Hit the Enter button twice then rotate the knob to reset it properly.
