Chapter 3:
Operation
D1 Edge Insertion
When the DPS-470 is in SDI input mode, this control allows you to add a soft transition from super-black to setup on the analog outputs.
NOTE: Setup is always added to the analog outputs in D1 input mode.
• Enabled
• Disabled
VITS Field 1
The Vertical Interval Test Signals (VITS) menu has two areas in which to make selections:
• LN#: specifies the number of the line in field 1 for the insertion of the test signal. The choices available for LN# are OFF, 16, 17, 18, 19.
• PAT#: specifies one of the nine test signals for insertion. The choices available for PAT# are 01 to 09.
One test signal can be inserted into one of the four lines; a field can contain only one test signal. (See Appendix B for the test signals available.)
VITS Field 2
Same as above for field 2.
TBC Mode
Enables adjustment to the VCR circuit time constant.
• Normal (Default): used for high-end broadcast VCRs.
• Head Switch used for home type or extreme head switch VCRs.
Transcoder Function
Normally the video delay through the DPS-470 varies over time from one line to two fields. In transcoder mode, the DPS-470 will have a fixed minimum delay of three lines.
• Normal Operation (Default): normal synchronizer mode.
