6.14 Video input output

For every input source, the user must select the correct video input format. Furthermore, the output format to the TV/Projector must be chosen as either RGB or Component.

The DVD component input can be selected as pass-through with over 100MHz bandwidth. This is suitable for e.g. progressive DVD signals. See below table for bandwidth consumption:

NTSC interlaced: 6 MHz

NTSC progressive: 12 MHz

PAL interlaced: 7 MHz

PAL progressive: 14MHz

In progressive pass-through mode, no mixed mode video (e.g. volume setting) will be displayed on the screen. Also Composite video and S-Video outputs are muted.

6.15 Video miscellaneous

To activate the RGB input in Scart connectors, some TV-sets require a separate “activate” signal. Tape 1 composite input can be reassigned to perform this Scart RGB activation.

For Scart connection, use these five signals:

-RGB out

-Tape1 Composite out

-Scart RGB activator signal (tape 1 composite in)

Now choose RGB out in the video-input-output menu. Thule Audio can supply a high-quality 5-pole RCA Phono-to-Scart cable.

Normally, the RGB output signal is without sync included, and the Composite sync can therefore be taken from the Tape1 out. Some projectors accept sync included in the RGB signal – in these cases, no extra sync signal is required.

Extended sharpness will shape the contours even further by accelerating the luminance transitions.

In Noise Reduction mode, very low-level video signals will be interpreted as noise and will be subtracted from the original signal. Consequently, some sharpness and details can be lost, so please use Noise reduction with consideration, e.g. on noisy antenna signals. Do not use noise reduction on high-quality signal sources like DVD or cable TV video, since the signals thereby may become degraded.
