Composite to
Y/C Converter
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the C2YC
converter from Burst Electronics. Th e C2YC
converter accepts Composite video and splits the
signal into the Luminance “Y” and the Chroma
“C” components.
Operation
Input Composite video to the “Video Input” BNC
connector on the rear panel. The separated “Y”
and “C” video signals are obtained from the “Y/C
Output” connector on the rear panel. The “Y” and
“C” output is 75 Ohms.
Adjusting Y/C Amplitude
The “Y” and “C” component amplitudes can be
individually adjusted using the “Y” and “C” Gain
pots located on the front panel. It is
recommended to use a Waveform Monitor and
Vectorscope, measuring the output levels, during
this procedure. The levels are factor y preset to
unity gain.

Video Loop-Out
If a 75 Ohm load is connected to the “Loop
Output”, then jumper W2 must be removed from
inside the case of the C2YC, or the resulting
video signal will be double terminated.
