18 Figure 11: Typical PC/Presentation Product Connections 10.4 Integrating a Composite/RGB source Into a Composite/YC Switcher It is sometimes necessary for pre-edit purposes, to switch a component video source alongside composite or Y/C sources. Some but not all of the component video sources include a composite or a Y/C output. In order to perform the above-mentioned task, a video encoder is needed in order to convert either YUV or RGB signals to composite and Y/C signals, as shown in Figure 12. ...

23 Video Signal (continued) Problem Remedy Noise bars are "rolling" up or down in the output image or: Low Frequency Hum in the output signal Hum bars (ground loop) are caused by a difference in the ground potential of any two or more devices connected to your signal path. This difference is compensated by passing that voltage difference through any available interconnection, including your video cables. WARNING! Do not disconnect the ground from any piece of video equipment in your signal path! Check the following to remove hum bars: 1. Confirm that all interconnected ...

3 1.2 Factors Affecting Quality of Results There are many factors affecting the quality of results when signals are transmitted from a source to an acceptor as described in Table 1: Table 1: Factors Affecting Quality of Results FACTOR EFFECT Connection cables Low quality cables are susceptible to interference; they degrade signal quality due to poor matching and cause elevated noise levels. They should therefore be of the best quality. Sockets and connectors of the sources and acceptors So often ignored, they should be of highest quality, since "Zero Ohm" connection res ...

14 5.8 Getting to Know Your FC-4208 The KRAMER FC-4208 Balanced/Unbalanced Audio Transcoder is a bi-directional, versatile tool, converting between the two most commonly used audio standards. The machine allows gain or attenuation while transcoding, to compensate for the 14dB change between IHF audio levels and the newly adopted, balanced DAT input levels. Very low noise and distortion components are used throughout the machine. The FC-4208 has 4 balanced audio inputs on XLRs and 4 unbalanced audio outputs on the balanced to unbalanced channels, and 4 unbalanced inputs ...
