FEATURES

The PROC AMP is a powerful, easy to use tool for the adjustment of video and chroma levels without
damaging the signal in any way. To this end, the PROC AMP has the following features:
• The original sync and blanking are passed untouched.
• Unity mode bypasses all controls and provides an output that is visually identical to the input.
• Video quality is to professional standards, allowing the PROC AMP to be left in line at all times.
• All controls are at unity when in the straight up position.
• All controls have marks for easy recording of their position.
• All controls have a range optimized for easy adjustment.
• Luminance gain and chroma saturation both go to zero to provide a black output.
• Black clipping begins at the blanking level and prevents video from interfering with sync.
• White clipping prevents excessive video level.
• Video level meter measures both peak white and black levels, giving you assurance that your output
video is within industry accepted standards and thus will play properly on all TV sets and monitors.
• Meter clip LEDs light just BEFORE clipping begins, warning you that video levels are in the clipping
region.
• Video with degraded sync can be restored to a standard 40 IRE by pressing the SYNC button.
• Color burst can be removed to provide a true monochrome signal.
• Split screen allows comparison of uncorrected and corrected video.
• Composite video is internally split and recombined without the artifacts often found in competitive
units.
• Frequency response is flat well beyond 5 MHz.
