PDV-844 IEEE1394 DV Converter
The bi-directional PDV-844 converts component, composite and
S-Video to IEEE1394 DV and vice versa (converts DV to component,
composite and S-Video). Delivers perfect audio video synchronization
without time delay or dropped frames. It also decodes composite or
S-Video to component YUV, or component YUV to composite or S-Video
along with its companion stereo audio signal. Audio input and output
levels have controls for adjusting left and right channels to the required
levels. VU bar graphs are provided for easy adjustment.
Featuring XLR audio and BNC video connectors, and DV connector for
Firewire I/O, it is compatible with most DV capture cards. It will encode
analog audio to DV with sampling rates of 32KHz, and 48KHz.

PVA-851 1x16 S-Video DA
Ideal for duplication in an S-Video environment, the PVA-851 has one
looping input and 16 outputs. Input is normally high impedance,
looping, but may be terminated using a rear panel push button switch.
Front panel independent gain controls allow for precise adjustment.

PCD-873
Composite/S-Video to RGB or YUV Decoder
The PCD-873 inputs either composite BNC or S-Video (selectable), and
then configures them as high-impedance, differential, for common
mode hum and noise rejection. It outputs two each of the decoded
RGB and sync signals. and is internally selectable to provide Beta Y, R-Y,
B-Y outputs. There is also a front panel switch for the selection of either
two-line comb filter or notch filter operation for video processing.
Front panel controls provide for video gain, chroma gain, hue and
input selection. The green output, or Y output in Beta format, may be
composite or non-composite via an internal adjustment.

PDR-870
Closed Caption Decoder
A high performance NTSC/PAL closed caption decoder, the PDR-870 is
capable of processing and displaying all standard closed caption
format transmissions — including the EIA-608 Extended Character Set
— in the manner of a typical closed caption decoder.
Nine standard data channels are supported by the PDR-870: Captions
channels 1 thru 4 (CC1-CC4), Text channels 1 thru 4 (T1-T4) and Extended
Data Services (XDS). Decoding channels are selectable by four front-panel
toggle switches. Additional switches provide NTSC or PAL selection,
drop-shadow or box character keying, and internal/external video. An
internal video function allows the PDR-870 to generate its own video as a
medium for producing open captions.
In addition, the PDR-870 can accept an RS-232 data stream and directly
produce open captions, serving as a “character generator decoder.”
Along with it’s powerful decoder functions, the PDR-870 can serve as an
accurate “V-Chip” ratings monitor.
The PDR-870 can recover incoming Line 21 data and send it to a
computer terminal via the RS-232 port. The data may be recovered with
or without the embedded closed caption control codes. The PDR-870
can also perform a unique data conversion to reveal the “non-printing”
characters that are part of the closed caption control codes. Accepts
composite video using a single high impedance, looping input with
two outputs. For S-Video, uses standard 4-pin mini-DIN connectors or
BNCs for its input/output.

PCE-845 Closed Caption Converter
Inserts caption and text data on line 21 of the NTSC signal. It will insert
four channels of data that are multiplexed into the vertical interval on
line 21 of field one. Also capable of inserting data on lines 10 - 25. A
single internal jumper selects correct line placement. Also compatible
with PAL closed caption (caption data is usually inserted on Line 22 of
field one). Accepts composite, component and S-Video signals.
There are two composite video outputs. If a component format is used,
the delay of each signal path is carefully matched, providing transparent
thru-put. RS-232 and external modem port allow a modem and a
computer to be connected to the PCE-845, to simultaneously receive
local and remote caption data. A "TEST” signal confirms proper
operation. Two front panel LEDs indicate the operation in field one or
field two. Other status indicators confirm the presence of input video
and RS-232. By-pass mode may be selected from the front panel, by
software commands or via remote control. By-pass is transparent, and
will not glitch the video signal when selected.
