1.1 The TView Pro AV Family

The TView Pro AV Product Family consists of one common technology implemented on a common circuit board.
Depending on the specific model, different ICs and accessories are added to the base product to provide specific options.
1.1.1 Board or Desktop or Rackmount
TView Pro AV units are configured as Board Units (PCI boards) or Desktop Units or Rackmount Units. The Board Units
mount inside the PC and receive their electrical power from the computer.
Desktop Units are stand alone items that accept 12 VAC power from a UL listed power supply. Users of Desktop TView
Pro AVs may choose between American compatible, wall mount transformers, with standard American plug
configuration (shipped automatically with Pro AV Desktop, NTSC orders) or deskmount universal power supplies
(shipped with Pro AV Desktop orders). Desktop universal power supplies terminate in an IEC-320 connector (the same
connector that you see on the back of PC computers). You must supply the wall outlet to IEC-320 cable.
TView Pro AV is also available in an EIA 19 inch rack mount configuration. The TView Pro AV-R occupies 1
standard rack height. All TView Pro AV-R models are capable of accepting power in the range of 95 V - 250 V,
47Hz. to 63 Hz. FOCUS Enhancements does not supply the IEC-320 to wall outlet cable.
1.1.2 IBM or Mac or Workstation
The TView Pro AV is compatible with IBM PC (ISA) computers, MAC computers and many popular workstations. The
same Desktop unit may be used with any personal computer or workstation, however the appropriate cable kits must be
ordered. The Pro AV is shipped with a PC cable and a Mac Adapter Kit. Any cable or cable kit may be ordered
separately at a later date.
In the IBM family, the Pro AV supports VGA and super VGA devices in all VGA standard modes (640 x 480, EGA, Text
and 320 x 200 modes, all 800 x 600 modes from 56 - 76 Hz Vertical Non-Interlaced, all 1024 x 768 modes from 60 - 76
Hz and all 1280 x 1024 modes from 60 - 76 Hz Vertical Non-Interlaced. The 1024 x 768 Non-Interlaced modes of the
XGA-2 are also supported.
In the Macintosh family, The Pro AV supports 640 x 480, 66.7 Vertical Non-Interlaced mode (Applecolor
High-Resolution RGB Monitor, often referred to as the 13" display) and the 1024 x 768, 66.7 Hz Vertical Non-Interlaced
mode (AppleVideo RGB Monitor, often referred to as the 21" display).
In addition to IBM PC and Macintosh video formats, the TView Pro AV also accepts computer video in popular
workstation formats as well (up to its 1024 x 768 limit). The TView Pro AV is capable of decoding a separate composite
synchronization signal, as well as a composite sync signal embedded in the green signal. The correct cable kit is required
for successful use with a workstation.
