¾Voltage / Contact Closure
This switch selects between voltage inputs or contact closures for the discrete
controls. In the “ Off” position, a voltage applied between the discrete input pins
on the DB-37 parallel control connector will assert that input. In the “ On”
position, contact closures may be used to assert the input. More information on
these inputs may be found in the section entitled Discrete Control Connector.
¾NTSC / PAL (not supported for DVM2/V)
This switch determines whether the Digital Video Machine 2’s output runs at
PAL or NTSC rates. The Digital Video Machine 2 can play either type of
encoding on either type of system, adjusting the number of lines and the vertical
frame rate. This switch determines the output format. When the switch is “ Off”,
the DVM2 will output NTSC. When the switch is “ On”, the DVM2 will output
PAL. Wait 2-4 seconds after switching the video output before beginning
playback.
¾Serial Port Protocol Selection
These three switches select among Sony, Pioneer and MIDI modes, select the
Sony and Pioneer baud rates, and allow the serial port to be reconfigured using
Web Page Setup. The DVM2/L and DVM2/V support Web Page setup and
Pioneer protocols only.
