Page 24: Status And Control
Crystal Vision Statesman Status and control The board status is shown using a mixture of simulated LEDs and text information. As a general rule a green LED shows a good condition such as input present or audio groups present. An amber LED will give a warning as with sync error, Luma high or dark. If an LED turns red this is a fault condition so input present will turn red if the input should go away. - Page 25 Crystal Vision Statesman Video gain The video gain is continuously adjustable between 70% and 140% by using the video gain slider control. Cable equalisation Cable equalisation is continuously adjustable between 0m and 300m by using the cable equalisation slider control.
- Page 26 Crystal Vision Statesman Sync filter To prevent large negative chroma excursion affecting the DC restoration an input filter to the sync separator circuitry has been included. Selecting On will activate this filter should it be required. Note, it is not recommended to activate this filter when an HD video signal is present as this will disrupt the DC restoration.
