Hook Up - Sign Video Proc Amp Instruction Manual

Video Processing Am plifier
CONNECTIONS
Occasionally, when a new piece of equipment is
added to a system, something is moved or dis-
connected and the new equipment is blamed for
problems that occur. Follow the below procedure
to ensure that the installation goes smoothly:
1. Decide where to place the PROC AMP; both
physical placement and where to connect in the
stream of equipment. We suggest that it be con-
nected to the output of the VCR or camera before
any other equipment. Use of a VCR as your signal
source is assumed in the following:
2. Before hooking up the PROC AMP, turn on all
equipment and play a tape to verify that all equip-
ment is operating normally. Verify a picture by us-
ing a video monitor that is connected to the last
item in your processing chain.
3. Disconnect the video output cable from the
VCR output. Verify that the picture went away.
Plug this cable into the video output of the PROC
AMP.
4. Plug one end of a new cable into the VCR out-
put connector. (the one you just removed the ca-
ble from). Plug the other end of it into the input of
the PROC AMP.

5. Plug the PROC AMP power supply into a wall
outlet . Then, plug the power supply cord into the
PROC AMP's "6-9 v ac" power input.
6. Push the power button so that it stays in. A
picture should appear on your monitor
Y-C & COMPOSITE INPUTS/OUTPUTS
The PROC AMP has both composite and Y-C
inputs and outputs. Apply video to only one in-
put at a time, if video is fed into both inputs they
will mix causing severe distortion. If possible, use
the Y-C input as it avoids the Y-C splitting step in-
ternally in the PROC AMP.
If you use the Y-C input, the Y-C output will pro-
vide the best quality output. The composite output
is convenient for feeding a composite monitor.
If you use composite input, the composite out-
put will generally provide the best quality output.
