Installation
Power Connections
This is the IEC320 mains power connector suitable
for a standard IEC type power. A cable fitted with
fused type plug should be used and a fuse rated at
3A installed.
Supply Voltage
The power supply is auto switching for input
voltages in the ranges of 100 V to 240 V nominal.
No voltage adjustment procedure is required.
CAUTION: THIS UNIT MUST NOT BE

OPERATED WITHOUT
AN EARTH CONNECTION.
Power On/Off Switch

There is no power On/Off switch.
Power ON will be indicated by the illumination of
the front panel display.
Note that for equipment that is not fitted with a
mains power switch, to comply with EN60950
Clauses 1.7.2 and 2.6.9, the power outlet
supplying power to the unit should be close to the
unit and easily accessible.
Communication Connections
This is the USB connection. This can be used to

remotely control the unit via Rollcall. A software
application is provided for this.

4 Way Audio Connector Assembly Details

Tie Wrap
Cable used for screw terminals should equal or

exceed Belden 1800B specifications for full
performance and the wire tails MUST be as short
as possible and be assembled as shown opposite.

DV Interface
Using the DV interface with a PC the following
procedure must be followed
1. Power on the TBS/CVR, and ensure the
standard is correct
2. Ensure that the DV application software is
shut.
3. Connect the DV lead to the PC.
4. Load up DV application software. It is then
possible to capture and play back via the
TBS/CVR in 525 or 625.
5. Note that the standard cannot be changed
without disconnecting the lead and re-loading
the DV application software.
Using the DV Interface with other DV devices
Ensure the device to be connected to the
TBS/CVR is powered before connecting to the
TBS/CVR.
In some cases this is not necessary. If the unit is
powered up with the lead connected and it doesn't
work, disconnect the lead and reconnect it.
Connecting two TBS/CVR devices together
When using DV it is essential that both units are
powered before connecting the lead. If this isnt
done it is possible that the DV interface will lock

To restore operation, power off both units, remove
the lead, power on and reconnect.

Delay
In Level
(Analog Audio I/O versions only)
This sets the input level for 0 dB FS. The range of
control is from +24 to +12 dBu in steps of 0.5 dB.
Default is to +18 dBu.
Out Level
(Analog Audio I/O versions only)
This sets the output level from 0 dB FS. The range
of control is from +24 to +12 dBu in steps of

Genlock
This screen allows the genlock functions to be
setup.
Mode
This allows the mode of genlocking to be selected.
Ref Lock
Output video is locked to an external reference.
The offset between the external reference and the
output can be adjusted over a range of
approximately +/- 3 lines using the Phase controls
Input Lock
Output video, if the same line standard, is locked
to the selected input video source. When
available.
Float
In this stabilized or floating mode the output will
always follow shortly after the input, so preventing
lip-sync errors and frame drop / repeat. When
available.
Free Run
Output video is locked to an internal reference
clock.
Phase 525 and Phase 625
These control allows the offset between the
external reference and the output to be adjusted
over a range of approximately 1 line of the
operating standard.

More
This screen allows various functions to be setup.
Decoder
Settings for the decoder may be selected with
function.
AGC
The automatic gain control (AGC) function
examines the input sync level and adjusts the
luminance and chrominance gain to compensate
for overall signal level attenuation. Check this
control when the input video signal levels are low
and automatic correction is desired.
ACC
The automatic color gain control (ACC) function
examines the input burst amplitude and adjusts
chrominance gain to compensate for chroma level
attenuation. Check this control when chroma
levels are low compared to luminance. This may
occur when using YC installations or composite
from RF links.
CTI
The chroma transient improvement (CTI) control
examines the input video data.
It detects
transitions of chroma and enhances chroma edges
in order to artificially restore lost color bandwidth.
Use this function when the input video has chroma
bandwidth limitations.
Encoder
Decoder NR:
The digital noise reduction is based on the
assumption that high frequency signals with low
amplitude are probably noise and their removal
improves picture quality. Improvements can be
seen on most material so this function is on by
default.
This allows the type filtering for the luminance

signal of the encoder to be selected.
Default Output
When the input signal is lost this allows a signal to
be chosen to become the output signal.
Comb Filter
The comb filter employs a 5-line adaptive 2Dcomb filter that separates chrominance and
luminance when decoding a composite video
signal. It adapts to the video standard and signal
quality automatically. This control improves the
decoder performance and should only be switched
off if the operator needs to see the source through
only a low pass filter.

CVR600UDV SDI, DV & Composite Standards Converter

Broadcast quality standards converter and synchronizer with AES and embedded audio
The CVR600UDV is a multi-standard broadcast quality 12-bit sampling, 10-bit processing standards
converter, synchronizer, aspect ratio converter, noise reducer and time base stabilizer with SDI, DV,
composite and YC interfaces. Standards conversion between 525 and 625 line standards (NTSC/PAL)
employs a powerful 20 point, 4-field, 5-line interpolation aperture to give smooth motion and maximum vertical
resolution. Embedded audio is processed as well as providing unbalanced AES audio interfaces
