180 degrees out of phase. This results in incorrect colors or picture artifacts. To synchronize the USP 405’s video output with a genlock signal, follow these steps: All equipment in the system must be powered up and turned on for at least 15 to 20 minutes before genlock setup adjustments can be made and before the equipment is used in a genlocked application.
Oscilloscope displays What you see on the oscilloscope while adjusting the USP 405 to match the genlock signal depends on the type of signal used, the type of oscilloscope, and the procedure the scope requires. This section shows some examples of oscilloscope displays.
Optimizing the System For optimal performance, follow the steps in this section in order when setting up the USP 405 and its input and output devices. Setting up a DVD source To get the best results when using a DVD as a video source, Extron recommends that the DVD player itself be set up to output an aspect ratio of 16:9 and not 4:3.
The default screens appear on the LCD when no adjustments are actively being made. When the USP 405 is powered up, the LCD displays a screen showing the USP model (USP 405/USP 405 I/ USP 405 O/ USP 405 IO) for approximately 2 seconds, then the model number and firmware version for approximately 2 seconds, and then the LCD cycles among screens showing the active input’s...
To return to the default screens, let the UPS 405 remain idle for 10 seconds until the selected screen times out, or repeatedly press the Menu button until the Exit Menu appears, then press the Next button. www.camboard.de Tel. 07131 911201 ce-info@camboard.de USP 405 • Installation and Operation 2-13 Fax 07131 911203...
