    3. Connections Component Video signals (PR/Y/PB) Some interfaces use progressive output signals with a double line frequency of 32 kHz. The video decoder used for the video signals is not appropriate for these signals since it can only handle 15 kHz signals. This signal has therefore to be internally redirected, this is done in the Source selection menu by selecting Data on BNC’s instead of Component video and by selecting Pr/Y/Pb in the advanced settings of the Image file menu.

An example of alteration may be a DC component added to the signal, in the form of a DC offset repositioning the black level, since this black level (“brightness”) will become crucial later on (clamping circuit) it will result in “black not being black”.
