Page 4 Front Panel Overview Input Select Buttons Proteus has 8 video inputs: 2 SDI, 2 Composite Video, 1 YUV and 1 YC (S-VHS) input. These can be selected via the front panel 4 input select buttons on the left. The button of the selected input is lit to indicate it has been selected. A faulty or non- existent input is indicated by the button LED flashing.
Page 5: Video Gain Adjustment
Video Gain Adjustment Proteus contains 2 video proc amps, one for analogue sources only, and one for digital levels after the appropriate video source has been selected. Both of these proc amps can be accessed via the gain, chroma black buttons described here.
Page 6: Black Level Adjustment
Black Level Adjustment Ensuring the menu button is unlit, press the black button. The characters “Picture Gain” will be displayed and the menu button will light. The rotary encoder will now allow cycling through the various gain options available. “Y Black Level” “Cb Black Level”...
Page 7: Audio Delay Control
Audio Delay Control Note: Audio is an option and may not be fitted. Proteus contains an audio delay, which comes after the audio source selection point. All selected audio channels are delayed equally. Depending on the standards conversion mode, various options are available. Tracking Delay When the input line standard and output line standard are the same, Proteus enters synchronisation mode.
Page 8: Genlock Controls
Once the desired adjustment is selected, press the enter button. For the first selection (“Block delay Adj”), the display will now indicate the current setting which can be adjusted via the rotary encoder. Once the desired setting has been reached, pressing the enter button will retain the value.
Page 9 Genlock Controls (continued) For the last 2 selections (“Action On Losing Input” and “Action On Losing Genlock”), there is a choice. This can be toggled by using the rotary encoder enter buttons. The state surrounded by chevrons is considered to be the active state. Adjusting the free run frequency Proteus contains an internal VCXO that controls all of its output timing.
Page 10: Storing And Recalling Presets
Storing and Recalling Presets Ensuring the menu button is unlit, press the shift+menu = presets buttons. The characters “Presets Menu” will be displayed and the menu button will now light. The rotary encoder will now allow cycling through the various gain options available. These are as follows: - “Factory Default”...

Page 12: Selecting Test Patterns
Selecting Test Patterns A selection of test patterns can be switched onto the output of both the analogue video signals and independently also the digital video signals (SDI). This is useful for testing downstream equipment or monitors. It can also be useful for testing downstream cable links.
Page 13: Aspect Ratio Conversion Controls
Aspect Ratio Conversion Controls Note: Aspect Ratio Conversion (ARC) is an option and may not be fitted. There are two ways to control ARC – preset mode and variable mode. The ARC can also be turned off. Preset mode There are 8 preset conversions: “4:3 =>...

Once the desired adjustment is selected, press the enter button. The display will now indicate the current setting which can be adjusted either via the rotary encoder. Once the desired setting has been reached, pressing the enter button will retain the value. If you wish to cancel the adjustment and return to the previous setting, then the menu/exit button should be pressed.
