2.6 CONNECTING THE VIDEO REFERENCE

2.7 CONNECTING THE GENERATOR
INSTALLATION
The 4025TR requires a video reference regardless of whether the VITC or
the Char GEN outputs are used. This video reference is usually the video
output from the telecine. The video does not need to be the actual video
output of the telecine, but it MUST be gen-locked to the telecine video.
The reference video must be applied to both the "GEN VIDEO" input of the
VITC generator and the "CHAR GEN IN." The loop-thru's on these inputs
should make this relatively easy.
impedance input tapped off the loop; therefore, the video signal must be
properly terminated at the end of the line.
The 4025TR may be configured to accept either PAL or NTSC video
reference, or to automatically detect the video standard of the video
reference. If the 4025TR is in NTSC mode and PAL video is connected,
the NTSC GENLCK LED will blink. If it is in PAL mode and NTSC video is
connected, the PAL GENLCK LED will blink. When a mismatched video
reference is connected, the front panel display will show the message:
The video standard setting is configured using the Setup menu or from the
Configuration screen of the KeyLog TRACKER™ software. See section
2.9 for information on connecting the character generator. See section
3.5.3 for information on changing the video standard setting.
The reference video is presumed to be in time with the video output of the
telecine (with respect to the VSYNC timing). You will need to set the Video
Delay and parameters on the CONFIG menu if your system has any delays in
the output video path between the telecine output and the 4025TR input,
such as noise reducers, colour correctors, etc. Colour timing the reference
video to the 4025TR is NOT required.
When the correct video reference is present, the front panel GENLCK LED
corresponding to the video standard will be on. If K
running then the appropriate LED will be illuminated on the status bar.
2.7.1
Connecting the VITC Generator – Analog Video
The program video source for the VITC generator is applied to the GEN
VIDEO IN loop. Normally this is connected to the composite video output
from the telecine. The video input circuitry has a high impedance input
tapped off the loop; therefore, the video signal must be properly terminated
at the end of the line. (See section 3.5.5 and section 3.5.7 for information
on setting the video and prestore delays).
