Operation
MODES OF OPERATION
The Connect-AC converter has two
modes of operation: Converter and Test
Pattern Generator (TPG). To switch
between them, press and hold the MODE
button for more than 2 seconds. A mode
change will be indicated by the TPG LED
illuminating GREEN for TPG Mode and
the Rx LED illuminating RED or GREEN
for Converter Mode.
NOTE: Connect-AC S2H converts SDI
to HDMI and Connect-AC H2S converts
HDMI to SDI when in Converter Mode.
Converter Mode
The Rx LED indicates when an input
signal has been locked and is being
converted. See the pulldown removal
(PDR) section for PDR during conversion.
Connect-AC supports 16, 20 & 24-bit
audio in all modes of conversion.
A GREEN Rx LED indicates a locked
video signal is being converted.
