PREPARATIONS AND MAIN FUNCTIONS

ADJUSTMENTS FOR GENLOCK OPERATION

Genlocking is required for a system, which uses an SEG (special effects generator) as the main signal source.

REF.

: “Example of RM-P210 (Connection 2 units) ” on page 9.

NOTE

The following adjustments can be made more accurately when using a vectorscope and waveform monitor.

Be sure to use an underscanned video monitor.

It is not permitted to genlock the system components using a VCR playback signal.

Before phase adjustment, wait a little for the phases of the connected components to stabilize.

Preparation

1. Press the BARS button to output the color bar signal. The button lamp should light up.

2. Output the built-in color bar signal of the SEG from the program connector on the front panel of the SEG. (Refer to the INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL of the SEG.)

3. Observing the monitor screen at the same time, adjust the H PHASE (horizontal phase) and SC (subcarrier phase) while using the switch on the SEG to alternately change between color bars of the internal RM-P210 that of the SEG.

Adjusting the H PHASE

4. Press and hold the MENU button for about 3 seconds until the LCD display shows the menu display.

5. Ensure that the cursor () is located on “1: GENLOCK”, then press the control knob to display “1A: H PHASE”.

6. Press the control knob to move the cursor () to the cur- rently set value, then turn the control knob to adjust the H PHASE value (from 0 to 255).

After the adjustment, press the control knob to move the cursor () back to “1: GENLOCK”.

Adjusting SC phase

7. Turn the control knob to display “1B: SC COARSE”.

8. Press the control knob to move the cursor () to the cur- rently set value, then turn the control knob to adjust the SC COARSE value (to 0°, 90°, 180° or 270°).

9. After the coarse adjustment, press the control knob to move the cursor () back to “1B: SC COARSE”, then press the control knob to display “1C: SC FINE”.

10. Press the control knob to move the cursor () to the cur- rently set value, then turn the control knob to adjust the SC FINE value (from 0 to 255).

NOTE

If the SC phase cannot be adjusted properly, restart the procedure from the SC COARSE adjustment in step 7 again.

11. After the adjustment, press the MENU button to return to the previous display.

12. Press the BARS button to stop the color bar signal output.
