Page 5: Features
LZX INDUSTRIES CADET I SYNC GENERATOR FEATURES Cadet I Sync Generator (C1) generates the master timing signals required for your modular video synthesizer in both NTSC and PAL formats. C1 includes a 14-pin video sync output header which transmits timing information to other modules, such as Cadet II RGB Encod- er, or Cadet IV Ramp Generator. -
Page 6: User Controls & Connections
LZX INDUSTRIES CADET I SYNC GENERATOR USER CONTROLS & CONNECTIONS Horizontal Sync Pulse Out. Positive-going pulse, 0-1V DC. Pulses at the beginning of each video scanline. 15,734Hz for NTSC. 15,625Hz for PAL. Useful for synchronizing oscillators running above these frequencies. -
Page 7: Installation
This module requires connection to other video modules through the 14-pin sync distribution header. This is done through the use of the Video Sync Distribution Cable (VSDC) available from LZX Industries. VSDC is an expandable bus cable allowing attachment to up to 5 different modules. -

LZX INDUSTRIES CADET I SYNC GENERATOR EXAMPLE PATCHES SYNCHRONIZING AND PROCESSING EXTERNAL VIDEO While a sync generator is an essential module for a video synthesizer, it does most of its magic by simply being there and performing its job behind the scenes. The most commo patch you will make with C1 is to synchronize your system’s timing to an external video source before patching that signal through to a video input amplifier, such as the Cadet III Video Input module. -
Page 9: Diy Build Notes
Just use hookup wire or resistor clippings to the switch to the PCB pads. We recommend you mount the switch to the frontpan- el before doing this. If you don’t want to purchase an assembled Video Sync Distribution bus cable from LZX Industries, you can make your own configura- tion using 2X7 IDC Connectors and 14-pin ribbon cable. -

Page 13: Circuit Design Notes
LZX INDUSTRIES CADET I SYNC GENERATOR CIRCUIT DESIGN NOTes The sync generator is the heartbeat of an analog video system. In the time the average human’s heart has beat once, the video system has displayed an image nearly thirty times. In each video image there are hundreds of scanlines. In each sweep of the cathode ray across the television display, there are hundreds of discernable shifts in color and brightness. -
