VSS2
Video Sync Sensor
(FG5916-10)
OVERVIEW
The Video Sync Sensor (VSS2) is equipped with two independent
signal detection channels. When a signal is present, each
detection channel initiates a logic-level output, and dual video
jacks for each channel allow loop-through operation. The VSS2
is an ideal power sensor for DVDs and other video sources, or to
provide a warning on loss of audio, video or RGB signal.
COMMON APPLICATION
Use the VSS2 to monitor the true power status of a VCR, tuner
or satellite receiver and track the video output of each source,
sending a logic signal to an input port. The output can also be
used to control other AMX closure-driven peripherals, such as the
PC1 Power Controller.
