Problem:
"Green shift" or "green washout" on multimedia signals.
Solution:
Please contact Technical Support.
The standard video/serial model is designed to function with DC
coupled signals in which the black level is referenced to 0 volts.
Nearly all VGA cards function this way.
Some media servers, however, provide AC coupled signals and
can cause a green color shift in the video. This is a result of the
sync clamping on the red and blue channels of the video/serial
model.
For five-component (RGB/H&V) AC coupled video, the
AC1060A single port transmitter has optional DC restoration
circuitry that is easily enabled via a dipswitch setting (see
Appendix C.
