PAV-880 Blackburst Generator, DA
The PAV-880 features six precision RS-170A black burst BNC outputs as
well as a high quality 1 KHz tone generator for audio system testing.
The video DA section has high impedance loop through in the 1x8
mode. In the dual 1x4 mode, the input is terminated internally. Dual
mode provides four outputs of each of the two inputs. A switch on
the rear panel allows the unit to operate as a dual 1x4 DA with two
terminated inputs with four outputs each amplifier section. Two gain
controls on the front panel adjust the video level to ±3dB for each set
of four outputs.
The audio DA section has high impedance loop through. All input and
output connections use positive captive screw clamp terminals blocks
located on the rear panel. A switch on the front panel allows the unit to
operate as a mono or stereo DA with one input and eight outputs
mono or 2x4 stereo. Selecting the dual 1x4 mode is required for stereo
operation with four outputs for each of the Left and Right channels.
A Master Gain Control on the front panel adjust the audio gain to
±16dB. A gain trim control for each channel allows for independent
level adjustment. A balanced match of each channel is easily obtained.

PDP-886 Dual Processor CC Encoder/Decoder
When the PDP-886 is used with closed caption software, the unit
inserts CC data into a component serial digital datastream. There are
two encoded serial digital outputs plus four analog NTSC/PAL outputs.
One set of analog outputs are open caption, the second set are closed
caption. Serial control is handled via two (selectable) RS-232/422 ports.
LCD indicates Encode, Standard, Decode and baud rate. There are two
microprocessors incorporated, two ports for each microprocessor
(RS-232/422 and modem). The SDI signal will bypass in case of AC
failure on one output. A total of nine data channels for video line 21
may be selected: CC1, CC2, T1, and T2 in Field 1along with CC3, CC4,
T3, T4, and XDS in Field 2.
A built-in EDH (Error Detection and Handling) processor can monitor
the incoming signal for impairments and insert new EDH data. An
optional internal telephone modem is available for each processor.
Three LEDs on the front panel indicate RI, OH, and CD.

PFS-875 Genlock Frame Synchronizer
The PFS-875 features composite, component (YUV), S-Video and SDI
inputs and outputs, making it the preferred choice among professional
users. A front panel display allows convenient selection between multiple
inputs, which may be connected simultaneously.
The PFS-875 passes four channels of embedded stereo AES audio.
AES delay adjustments will allow for matching output audio to video.
A companion unit allows XLR analog input and output that requires
balanced line audio. The PFS-875 provides dual standard composite and
SDI correction and synchronization to an external analog reference.
When input video is lost, the synchronizer freezes the last good frame
of video, or black burst. The synchronizer decodes multiple composite
standards (NTSC, PAL).
All analog inputs are sampled with 10-bit resolution and decoded using a
5-line adaptive comb filter. It also has a built-in color bar generator. The
PFS-875 can also synchronize non-TBC signals from VHS tapes.

PDR-885 CC Encoder/Decoder
In addition to inserting caption and text data on Line 21 of the NTSC
signal, the PDR-885 can also insert it in either field of the Vertical
Blanking Interval (VBI). Data on the incoming video signal can also be
recovered from either field of the VBI. The data may be displayed as
Open Captions, using the built-in CC decoder, and captured by a
computer utilizing it’s serial data port. Each of these functions,
encoding, decoding, and data recovery can be done simultaneously.
Closed caption decoder functions may be controlled from the front
panel (encoder and data recovery functions are controlled via the serial
data port). Front panel LEDs show the unit status and the presence of
data on the incoming video. Inputs and outputs are provided for
composite video as well as component (RY/ B-Y/Y) and S-Video.
For remote captioning applications, a second serial port is available as
a modem input. Both serial ports may be configured for RS-232 or
RS-422 I/O, with optional plug-in PCB. Internal jumper allows baud
rate selections of 1200 to 9600 bps. Modem and computer may be
connected simultaneously to process local and remote caption data,
only one active at a time.
V-Chip technology is also incorporated in the firmware of the PDR-885.
The PDR-885 handles the automatic repetition of the “V-Chip” data and
can interleave it with existing Line 21 CC data. An optional plug-in
modem is available that operates at 1200 or 2400 baud.
