Figure 3-16 — Worksheet example 1: System equipment
Inputs include video cameras, audio tape and CD players, laser disc players, VCRs, and a VTG 200 video test generator. Output devices include monitors, front and rear projectors, a stereo, and a VCR. This example, labeled preset 3, is used as the daily configuration. Choose your own method of notation.
The Extron VTG 200 video test generator connected to input 12 enables a video test pattern to be sent to one, several, or all output devices for problem isolation or adjustment purposes. An audio test tape or CD could be used in a similar manner to check out the audio components.
