VIDEO INTERFACE CIRCUIT, FUNCTION, DESCRIPTION (+ & - Analog).
The video interface circuit is a general purpose RGB type input circuit. This circuit connects the external video signal to the video amplifiers. It can accept, DC or AC coupled positive going analog, negative going analog, and 4 line TTL.
The particular mode of operation is selected by inserting jumpers, different value components, and solder bridges. The Production Assembly Drawings (PADs) are given in the appendix which describe the component differences.

In the negative analog mode, the video signal has a black level (5.6V) which is the
For the blue channel only, 15% of the output current is subtracted by resistor 239 .
Signal sources with 8 bit drivers, that use 2 bits for the blue channel use this 15% offset.
To prevent input line ringing from exceeding the saturated color voltage limit, a clamp diode
271has been added.
