1.6 Side Panel

1.6.1 RCA connectors

Use for RCA cable connections. These connectors are
labeled Y, Pb and Pr. These are HDTV-Component video
connections to be connected to the Y, Pb and Pr connectors
of a HDTV monitor or TV with component video input.

 Y connector: Y is for luminance signal drive a 1V peak-to

peak signal into a 75-ohm load. The Y signal can be used
alone in some cases, just like using luminance to test
only of an NTSC, PAL or SECAM TV with its Composite
input. The signal will be seen as a monochrome image,
which is fine for most patterns which are monochrome.

 Pb connector: Pb is for the chrominance (color) signal

drive 0.7V peak-to-peak signals into 75-ohm loads.

 Pr connector: Pr is for the chrominance (color) signal

drive 0.7V peak-to-peak signals into 75-ohm loads.

1.6.2 Power Jack

Use for the DC 12V 1.25A power adapter. The Power Jack

is on the right side of the device. PG-Y1 supports 4
replaceable plugs (for USA, UK, Europe and Australia DC

plugs.)
