The ‘Video Gain’ jumper on door controllers should always be set to ‘0’ unless directed by ‘Bell System Technical Support’. This jumper is only required on some systems with very long camera to videophone cable runs well in excess of 150m. Inappropriate use of this jumper with short runs will cause picture problems.
The “Video Gain” jumper on video controllers should always be set to “0” unless directed by Bell System Technical. This jumper is only required on some systems with very long camera to videophone cable runs well in excess of 150m. Inappropriate use of this jumper with short runs will cause picture problems.
Page 22
The use of this jumper precludes the use of Odd/Even addressing by PROG pins 1-2, if both are required contact Bell System Technical. The jumper is stored on pins 4-5. Custom Alternate Addressing Special versions of the BSC4 can be ordered to allow addressing above 6413. For instance by making the jumper add 5000 the BSC4 would be able to address from 1 to 3210 and 5001 to 8210 (Phone 1 output).
