ON* ON* ON* All Composite
ON OFF ON BNC 7 – Y, BNC 8 – C, BNC 9 – Composite, BNC 10 – Composite
ON OFF OFF BNC 7 – Y, BNC 8 – C, BNC 9 – Y, BNC 10 – C
OFF ON ON BETACAM™ BNC 7 – Y, BNC 8 – Pr, BNC 9 – Pb, BNC 10 – Composite
OFF ON OFF MII™ BNC 7 – Y, BNC 8 – Pr, BNC 9 – Pb, BNC 10 – Composite
OFF OFF ON SMPTE BNC 7 – Y, BNC 8 – Pr, BNC 9 – Pb, BNC 10 – Composite
OFF OFF OFF RGB BNC 7 – Y, BNC 8 – Pr, BNC 9 – Pb, BNC 10 – Composite
S1.4 OUTPUT COLOR ENABLE
ON* Enable color on output
OFF Disable color on output
S1.5 OUTPUT TEST PATTERN
ON Enable 75% color bars as output pattern, regardless of input signal
OFF* Disable output test pattern

ON* Output signal with 7.5 IRE setup/pedestal
OFF Output signal with 0 IRE of pedestal
S1.7 ENABLE OUTPUT OVERSAMPLING
ON* Output DAC runs at 2x SDI Y channel data rate (8:8:8 sampling)
OFF Output DAC runs at 4x SDI Y channel data rate (16:16:16 sampling)
S1.8 ENABLE OUTPUT DEJITTER FILTER
ON* DAC clock de-jitter filter enabled
OFF DAC clock de-jitter filter disabled
Other, less used, parameters are adjusted by dialing S3 and S4 to certain values, and then moving the
thumb switch S2 up or down. These parameters are detailed in the following table. For any given parameters,
pressing the REGISTER RESTORE button (S5) will restore the parameter to it’s saved setting.
