SHIPPING INSPECTION

Remove from shipping container and inspect for shipping damage.

The VIP472 is a Slide in Card that fits into the RMS-400 Mainframe and

Power Supply. The card is supplied with a retaining screw (attached to

the PC Board), a Front Label Designator and this instruction book. If

an RMS-400 Mainframe and Power Supply has been purchased with Card, the

Card will be installed into the Mainframe with labels attached and the

retaining screw engaged and locked.

HOW AND WHERE TO MOUNT THE VIDEO INSERTION PROCESSOR

Select a position for the RMS-400 that is near the equipment you

need to interface. The placement is not critical. Then install the

VIP472 PC CARD in any unused CARD SLOT that is empty. Follow the

instructions for card installation, be sure not to apply excessive

force to the card during installation. Caution: position all switches

in the center position before sliding the card into the mainframe to

prevent the switch from hitting the front label and being damaged by

excessive force. See the “LINE SELECTION” switch setting table and set

the video line you want to insert your video test signals onto.

MODULE CARD INSTALLATION

1. Select one of the un-used nine positions to be occupied by the new

circuit board module.

2. Remove the blank label in that position by peeling it off of the

front panel. Peel the label slowly to remove all of the label and

adhesive. Any remaining adhesive may be removed by rubbing the

surface with your thumb. WARNING: DO NOT USE SOLVENTS TO REMOVE

THE LABEL ADHESIVE. The solvent could damage the equipment cards

or cause a fire.

3. Peel the backing off of the new label and apply it to the front

panel of the RMS-400 rack in the position of the new card. Align

the new label with the screw head in the hole in the lower right

hand corner of the label, then align the center thumbscrew with

the clearance hole in the front panel. This should cause the label

to be straight and vertical. When the label is in place press

firmly the secure the label.

4. Then remove the thumb-screw retainer from the product card, it is

located at the front of the card and is removed by rotating the

knob counter-clock-wise.

5. Select any and all product options on the specific card.

6. Next slide the card into the card guides at the rear of the RMS-

400. Be sure that the notch in the circuit card is facing forward

and down. Push the card all the way to the front of the rack until

it stops. DO NOT APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE CARD.

7. Insert the thumb-screw that was removed in step 5 while

rotating it in a clock-wise direction. When it begins to thread

into the card, continue until it is finger tight. CAUTION TIGHT BY

HAND ONLY, DO NOT USE TOOLS TO TIGHTEN THE THUMB-SCREW. OVER

TIGHTENING WILL DAMAGE THE CIRCUIT CARD.

8. Attach any cables or wires necessary for operation.

Most circuit board modules have several adjustments which are

carefully factory set with precision instruments for optimum

performance. Change only those which must be adjusted, some controls

when mis-adjusted produce little change under normal operating

conditions, but can seriously reduce the ability of the unit to

function correctly under other conditions which may be encountered.

Therefore, if you must adjust a control, place a mark on it before

moving it, so that it may be returned to its original setting with

reasonable accuracy.

HOW TO CABLE THE VIP472

Connect a BNC cable from your source video to the "PRIMARY VIDEO

INPUT" at the rear of the unit. The "PRIMARY VIDEO INPUT" is internally

terminated by a precision 75 Ohm termination to match standard video

cable.

Next connect a BNC cable from the "TEST SIG INPUT" connector to

your video test signal source. The “TEST SIG INPUT” is internally

terminated by a precision 75 Ohm termination to match standard video

cable.

Then connect the output BNC connector to your video load or the

device you wish input the video with the test signal inserted. There is

a secondary video output “DA output” at the rear of the unit if you

need a second feed or wish to have a monitor connected for observation.

Two prevent the inserted line from revolving, your test signal

generator must be locked to your video input. If your video sources are

already synchronized in-house then you are ready to operate the

equipment. If your video test generator is not synchronized with the

video source, then you must use the “SYNC OUT” connector to sync up

your video test generator. The “SYNC OUT” connector outputs a signal

that is locked to the input “PRIMARY VIDEO”. Select either the 1Vpp

video output or the 4 Vpp sync signal output by moving the internal

jumper at S3 to the sync type needed by your generator. Then connect a

BNC cable from the “SYNC OUT” connector to the “SYNC INPUT connector on

your video test generator.

If you wish to control line insertion at a location other than the

equipment rack, then connect a twisted pair wire from the “REMOTE

CONTROL” connector on the rear panel to an external switch. This

control is a self-powered TTL input. All that is needed is an external

switch connection.

An external TTL video lock output is provided if monitoring of the

video lock is required. Connect twisted pair wires to the screw

terminal at the rear that is marked “V LOCK OUTPUT TTL”. This signal is

grounded when video is locked and +5 VDC when video in not locked.

POWER SUPPLY INSTALLATION

Power for the VIP472 is supplied by the RMS-400 Mainframe. It

supplies the card with +/- 12 VDC to power the card.

SET-UP OF THE VIP472

Select the mode of operation by moving the switch on the front

panel to one of three positions. See “Operation” in the next section.

OPERATION

The VIP472 is a line switcher that will insert any one video test

signal line onto your NTSC video path so that you can monitor the

transmission signal quality. This process allows the video test signal

to pass through all digital compression systems to verify that your

video is being delivered accurately without distortion.

Most digital transmission systems will not pass the vertical

interval. This system replaces the Vertical Interval Test Signals

“VITS” and Vertical Interval Reference Signals “VIRS” that were used to

monitor video quality, but are now lost due to digital compression.

This process momentarily inserts a video test signal onto a visual

picture line at the top or bottom of the screen where it is least

noticeable. The test signal is only on during the test and then turned

off for normal video operation. You may select any line of video for

test signal insertion by using a “dip” switch on the PC Card. SEE THE

LINE SELECTOR TABLE FOR SWITCH SETTING.

The unit has two BNC connector video inputs, one for the video and

the other for the video test signal generator. A BNC connector “SYNC”

output signal is provided to lock-up your test signal generator if

needed. A secondary video output BNC connector is also provided on the

main channel.

Line insertion is controlled by a front panel switch. This switch

allows you to turn the insertion “ON/OFF” and select “REMOTE”. The

“REMOTE” feature allows you to connect an external switch to the screw

terminal connector, to control the insertion. There is an LED on the

front panel to indicate video lock between main channel and the test

signal generator. The unit also has a TTL output to indicate the video

lock status remotely. In the event of a power failure the main video is

by-passed to the primary output.

FRONT PANEL CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

A green front panel LED "VIDEO LOCK” indicator tells you when your

video is locked to prevent line rolling. A PLL lock circuit on the

board controls the insertion and prevents insertion from occurring if

the two video sources are not locked together. I you wish to see the

effects of line rolling you can remove the S4 jumper on the pc card.

This will remove the PLL lock-out control and allow the inserted line

to roll across the screen. Remember to replace the jumper for normal

operation.

VIP472.ISB PAGE 3 of 6

The front panel three position switch is used to select the mode

of test signal insertion. The “OFF” position will not allow insertion

of the test signal under any circumstances. The “ON” position of the

switch will insert your selected line of test signals all of the time

regardless of the condition of the external “REMOTE CONTROL”.

The “REM” position of the switch will allow the control of insertion to

be operated by opening and closing the external switch connected to the

screw terminals marked “GND and INSERT”.

BY-PASS MODES OF OPERATION

The VIP472 has a power by-pass feature. If the power fails on the

PC card the “PRIMARY VIDEO INPUT” will be connected directly to the

“VIDEO OUTPUT” and the “SECONDARY VIDEO OUTPUT” will be shut off.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE VIDEO MASTER

Care should be taken not to subject the VIP472 to extreme

moisture or temperatures outside normal operating range. There are no

periodic maintenance adjustments to be made on the VIP472. If the

unit does not function properly it should be returned to the factory

for repair.
