Installation

The Extron VSS 100 composite video sync separator extracts the sync signal from an RGsB, component video, S-video, or composite video input. The sync separator outputs the composite sync signal, at TTL levels, on a separate signal line. The VSS 100 loops the input video through and outputs it unchanged.

With the VSS 100, systems that use video formats with embedded sync in the video stream can still take advantage of features that depend on a separate sync input, such as the DSVP™ (Digital Sync Validation Processing™) feature of Extron CrossPoint Plus matrix switchers.

The VSS 100 accepts input video on a female BNC connector. The video input should be the signal that has the sync signal embedded on it, such as the luminance (Y) signal for S-video.

Figure 1 — Typical VSS 100 application

The VSS 100 loops the video input through and outputs it on a separate female BNC connector. The sync separator outputs the separated composite sync, at TTL levels, on a third female BNC connector.

The VSS 100 easily fits behind a rack mounted Extron switcher, and includes a 6” male-to-male BNC cable for easy integration into a video system. The sync separator has an external, worldwide power supply.
