Generating The Bd Signal - Canon 1000 Service Manual

3. OPERATION AND TIMING
D. Generating the BD Signal
The BD signal is used to synchronize video signals (for the main scanning direction of the laser beam).
The laser beam reflected by the BD mirror located in the optical path of the beam is detected by the BD
detection PCB, and the detection signal is used to generate the BD signal. As can be learned from Figure 3-
406, as many as four BD detection PCBs are used to deal with the four colors and the BD signal is generated
for each channel.

In reference to the BD signal for each color, the video signal is synchronized for the main scanning
direction on the video controller PCB (details follow) and sent to the laser driver PCB.
