  • Page 3: Overview

    OVERVIEW The V1626 10 Bit Monitoring DAC Module provides 10 bit conversion between a Component Serial Digital input signal to RGB or YPbPr output (N10/SMPTE levels), a dedicated re-clocked Serial Digital output as DA and a separate Sync O/P is also provided.
  • Page 4: Installation

    INSTALLATION Introduction This section gives information on installing the V1626 DAC modules into the V1601 and V1603 interface frames and details on the connections which can be made to it. Information is also supplied on the function of each Preset adjustment and switch which are made available to the user on the front panel.

    VISTEK V1626 digital to analogue converter ON BOARD CONTROLS & ADJUSTMENTS Main Board Locations of switches and Preset potentiometers are shown in the figure below. To gain access to these controls and adjustments the board must be removed from the chassis. If the adjustments need to be made while the unit is powered up, an extender card needs to be used.

  • Page 9: Matrix Sub-Board

    VISTEK V1626 digital to analogue converter Matrix Sub-board The matrix sub-board is designed to convert a Y, Pb, Pr component N10 level signal into an RGB output. By means of switches on the sub-board, it is also possible to by-pass the matrix section and provide the Y, Pb, Pr output signal at N10 or Betacam levels.
  • Page 10: Calibration Of V1626 Dac Module

    VISTEK V1626 digital to analogue converter CALIBRATION OF V1626 DAC MODULE Introduction This section is intended to provide sufficient information to allow an engineer to calibrate the DAC system. Calibration should only be carried out if the unit has been mal-adjusted, or if drift has occurred over an extended period of time.
  • Page 11: Calibration Procedure

    VISTEK V1626 digital to analogue converter Calibration Procedure Initial Set-up: Ensure the following switches are set as detailed before starting calibration. Switch Setting Function SW1-1 10 bit operation enabled SW1-2 Black clip disabled SW1-4 Vertical interval data blanked SW5, 6, 7...
