Bypass The V1642 has a Fade to Black function which can be triggered from a remote control system, or by a contact closure. The duration is fixed at about half a second. The video is returned to its pre-fade, but adjusted setting on release of the contact closure.
2.1 REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS The rear module to be used with the V1642 is the same as that used with the V1645 Noise Reducer and V1647 Aspect Ratio Converter. Some early units were delivered with rear modules that did not have a D-type connector for GPI, in which case the Fade to Black input used two lower BNC connectors.

2.7 ANCILLARY DATA AND VERTICAL INTERVAL The V1642 passes all ancillary data and all data in the active portion of the vertical interval unmodified. Thus all audio or Teletext or VITS is unaffected by the processing.

The standard V1642 contains EDH generation. This means a new correct EDH data packet is always created on the output. 1 March, 2005 V1642OM.DOC Page 7 of 9...
Since gain can be applied to the D1 signal it is possible to generate levels outside the normal 10 bit gamut of D1 and so limiting is required. The V1642 normally applies a soft form of limiting that progressively reduces the gain of a signal as it approaches the limits, either overshoot or undershoot. If this is not required then it can be disabled by putting LK4.2 to OFF.
3.6 FADE TO BLACK The V1642 includes a fade to black facility. This enables the output to be cleanly attenuated to digital black on receipt of an external command. The rate of the fade is fixed at half a second.
