Introduction

Mounting

The CVC 200 Component Video Converter converts all SMPTE
standard component video formats to RGBS or RGBHV video. The
CVC 200 can also strip sync-on-green (SOG) from RGsB video.
The converter outputs converted RGBS or RGBHV video on BNC
connectors. Figure 1 shows a typical CVC 200 application.

Figure 1 — Typical CVC 200 application

The component video input formats include DVD, Betacam® video, and
HDTV component video. The RGsB video input can be computer video
or NTSC/PAL video.

3. Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that
a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical
loading.

4. Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply
circuit and consider the effect that circuit overloading might
have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate
consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used
when addressing this concern.

5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding
of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply
connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit
(e.g. use of power strips).

Mounting instructions

Rack mount the CVC 200 as follows:

1. Remove the feet from the CVC, if they were previously installed.

2. Mount the CVC 200 on the rack shelf, using two 4-40 x 3/16”

screws in opposite corners (under the shelf) to secure the CVC to
the shelf (figure 2).

Mounting

1

The CVC 200 can be rack mounted using one side of a 1U Universal
Rack Shelf (part #60-190-01) or 1U Basic Rack Shelf (part #60-604-01).

UL requirements

The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to
the installation of the CVC into a rack.

1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If the equipment
installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater
than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the CVC in an
environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature
(Tma = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified by Extron.

2. Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is
not compromised.

Cable Connection and Rate Selection

See figure 3 to identify the rear panel connections and Format rotary
switch

Figure 3 — CVC 200 rear panel features

Power connector — Plug a standard IEC power cord into this

a

connector to connect the CVC 200 to a 100 to 240VAC, 50 Hz or
60 Hz power source.

Input connectors — Connect a component video input device

b

(HDTV, W-VHS [Y, Pr, Pb], SMPTE [Y, R-Y, B-Y]), Betacam®
[Y, R-Y, B-Y]) or an RGsB input device to these female BNC
connectors. Use high-resolution cable, such as Extron’s BNC­4 mini HR, RG59/HR, or RG6/SHR cable. Connect the input
device as shown in figure 4.

Format rotary switch — Use an Extron Tweeker or other small

c

screwdriver to set the Format rotary switch to match the video
input format. The table below shows the switch settings and their
assigned input video formats.

Output connectors — Connect an RGBHV or RGBS display to

d

these female BNC connectors. Use high-resolution cable, such
as Extron’s BNC-4 or BNC-5 mini HR, RG59/HR, or RG6/SHR
cable. Connect the display as shown in figure 5.
