Page 5: Video Sync Connections
Whenever an external video input is used with the Visual Cortex, one of two conditions must occur: 1) The external device must serve as the master source, slaving the Visual Cortex’s timing to its own. 2) Or, the external device must be genlocked and synchronized to the timing of the Visual Cortex. -
Page 6: Sync Generator
C. Sync In jack. A video input for external synchronization. D. Sync Out jack. A black video output containing only synchronization pulses. E. 14-pin LZX Sync Distribution Bus output. A 14-pin sync output for providing sync to previous LZX Industries products which require it. -
Page 7: Ramp Generator
RAMP GENERATOR The Ramp Generator section is a dual synchronized waveform generator. It generates grayscale gradients in horizontal and vertical outputs, with selectable output waveshapes. These signals provide the basis for many shape and pattern generation techniques. Frontpanel A. Mirror mode switch. Controls symmetrical mirroring (ramp-to-triangle). H &... -
Page 8: Animation & Key Generator
ANIMATION & KEY GENERATOR The Animation & Key Generator section is a multi-function control voltage generator, designed specifically for controlling transitions between two video images. It can function as a manual controller with slew, a flip-flop based envelope generator, or a low frequency oscillator. The key function enables a high-speed comparator, which generates a hard key image suitable for shape generation or luma keying. -
Page 9: Colourizer & Compositor
COLOURIZER & COMPOSITOR The Colourizer & Compositor section is a voltage controlled analogue video mixer. It features two RGB input channels, individual RGB controls and several advanced colour processing effects. We designed this section to be capable of addressing all the essential colour mixing required for a small to medium sized modular video synthesis system. -
Page 10: Input Decoder
INPUT DECODER The Input Decoder section is an analogue video input amplifier and colorspace converter. This section accepts YPbPr analogue component video, and processes it for patching internally inside a video synthesis system. The Y input can be used with Composite video signals if only grayscale operation is desired. -
Page 11: Output Encoder
OUTPUT ENCODER The Output Encoder section takes the output of the Colourizer & Compositor section, converting signals inside your video synthesizer into standard video signals which may be displayed and recorded. Frontpanel A. Composite video CVBS output jacks. Both jacks output identical video signals. -
Page 12: Expansion & Programming Headers
EXPANSION & PROGRAMMING HEADERS Visual Cortex contains many connectors accessible via the rear of the module. LZX Industries will not offer technical support or service for use of these headers, but savvy users may be able to tap into them and find them useful for custom applications. -
