About this Manual

This manual contains information about the Extron YCS 100 Transcoder, and discusses how to install, conﬁ gure, and operate it.

The terms “YCS 100,” “YCS,” and “transcoder” are used interchangeably throughout this manual.

About the YCS 100

The Extron YCS 100 Transcoder has a composite video to S-video (luminance [Y] and chrominance [C]) decoder and an S-video to composite video encoder in one product. The high performance digital decoder has a time base stabilizer that corrects the jitter from VCR signals. A 5-line adaptive comb ﬁ lter performs the Y/C separation, virtually eliminating chroma noise. Each input has its own individually buffered loopthrough signal.

The transcoder is compatible with NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, SECAM, and PAL standards.

Features

Digital decoding and analog encoding — The YCS 100 digitally

decodes (separates) the composite video input signal into Y and C for S-video. It provides analog encoding (combining) of the Y and C signals of S-video input into composite video.

Time base stabilizer — The time base stabilizer (TBS) stabilizes

the video signal in the time domain. This results in a signiﬁ cantly more stable image on the screen and better recording quality from input sources with unstable video signals, such as consumer VCRs and worn or multigeneration VHS tapes.

Input connectors — The decoder has one composite video

input on a female BNC connector. The decoder input is buffered and looped through, also on a female BNC connector.

The encoder has one S-video input on 4-pin mini DIN

connectors. The encoder input is buffered and looped through, also on a 4-pin mini DIN connector.

Output connectors — The decoder has one S-video output

on a 4-pin mini DIN connector. The encoder has one composite video output on a BNC connector.

legs of the U-bolt through the slotted holes on the bracket’s mounting plate, then through the round holes on the backing brace.

• For a typical (1.5" to 2.0" diameter) pole — You can use

the supplied square U-bolt, which ﬁ ts a typical ceiling pole.

• For a smaller or larger pole — Locally obtain a square

U-bolt that ﬁ ts your ceiling pole. The slotted holes on the bracket can accommodate a square U-bolt for pole sizes from 1.0" to 2.5" in diameter.

5. Secure the bracket to the U-bolt with the included hex

nuts, washers, and lock washers. Tighten the hex nuts just enough that they can be loosened by hand.

Using the PMK 350 Projector Mount Kit

The PMK 350 Low Proﬁ le Projector Mount Kit is an aboveprojector mounting kit that attaches to a 1" to 2" diameter projector mounting pole. It can hold more than one device, in a variety of sizes. The PMK 350 is available in black (part #70-563-02) or white (part #70-563-03).

Follow these steps to mount the YCS 100 on the PMK 350 bracket as follows:

1. Remove the front and back panels from the

PMK 350, using an Extron Tweeker or other small Philips screwdriver. (Retain the screws to reattach the plates when you are ﬁ nished.)

2. Remove any rubber feet from the bottom of the YCS 100.

3. Secure the YCS to one side of the mounting bracket,

using two of the supplied 4-40 x 3/16" screws in opposite (diagonal) corners.

4. Using the two included tie wraps, strap the YCS power

supply to the PMK 350 bracket.

5. Place the bracket around the projector ceiling mounting pole as shown in ﬁ gure 2-10.

6. Place the rubberized contoured base against the pole and opposite the back plate. The pole should ﬁ t snugly into the depression in the center of the contoured base.

Power connector — Plug the external 12 VDC power supply

into this 2-pin, 3.5 mm captive screw connector.

Wiring the Power Connector

To wire the connector for the external power supply,

1. Cut the DC output cord to the length needed.

2. Strip the jacket to expose 0.2 inches (5 mm) of the

conductors.

Exposing more than 0.2" (5 mm) of the copper

wires could allow the stripped wires to touch each other, causing a short circuit. This could result in the external DC power supply overheating and/or burning.

Stripping the wires to expose less than the recommended amount may cause them to slide out of the connector too easily, even if they are tightly pinched by the captive screws.

3. Slide the leads into the supplied 2-pin captive screw plug

and secure them, using an Extron Tweeker or other small screwdriver.

4. Use the supplied tie wrap to strap the power cord to the

extended tail of the connector.

5. To verify the power cord’s polarity before connecting

it, plug in the power supply with no load and check the output with a voltmeter.

Figure 2-12 shows how to wire the connector.

10. Secure the L-shaped bracket to the square U-bolt using the included hex nuts, washers, and lock washers. Tighten the hex nuts securely.

Be sure to tighten the hex nuts securely enough that the

PMK 350 does not slide down the ceiling pole. A socket wrench is recommended to tighten the hex nuts.

11. Secure the front panel to the mounting tray with four of the included #6 screws.

12. If desired, choose one of the provided four sizes of selfadhesive cover sheets, and apply it to the underside of the mounting tray.

Your YCS may have been shipped with a blue captive

screw connector. This blue connector can be plugged into either a blue or an orange power receptacle.

The blue connector does not have the extended tail or the included tie-wrap.

Do not tin the stripped power supply leads before

attaching the captive screw plug to them. Tinned wires are not as secure in the captive screw connectors and can be easily pulled out. They may also break after being bent several times.

The YCS 100 front panel contains the following:

Power LED indicator — This green LED lights when the

YCS 100 is receiving power.

Operation

When the transcoder, input sources, and display devices are powered up, the system is fully operational. During YCS 100 operation, one or both of the following takes place:

The YCS 100 digital decoder accepts a composite video signal and separates it into Y (luma) and C (chroma), converting the signal to output S-video, while also passing an unconverted signal to a composite video monitor attached to the video loop-through BNC connector.

The YCS 100 analog encoder accepts an S-video signal and converts it to composite video while also passing an unconverted signal to an S-video monitor connected to the S-video mini DIN loop-through connector.

If problems are encountered, ensure that all cables are routed and connected properly.

•

Troubleshooting

Possible problems and their solutions include the following:

Problem: No power at unit

Solution: Verify that the unit is receiving power by checking the

front panel LED. If the LED is not lit, check the DC power plug termination and polarity.

Problem: No video input

Solution: Verify that the source and output devices are powered

on and connected properly.

Problem: Black and white image ﬂ ashes or scrolls rapidly

Cause: When a black and white signal is used without a

colorburst signal, the output image may not sync correctly, causing continual ﬂ ashing and rapid scrolling of the black and white image.

Solution: Close (enable) the jumper located at CR8 on the

YCS 100 internal board. This corrects the black and white picture settings for NTSC and PAL standards.

When you are not using a black and white signal, set the

jumper back to the open position (the default).

Follow these steps to enable the jumper:

1. Disconnect all power to the YCS and any attached devices.

If the YCS is mounted, remove it from its mounting.

2. Remove the YCS cover by removing the two screws on

each side and lifting the cover up and off.

Lift cover straight up.

Remove (4) screws from sides.

Figure 2-14 — Removing the cover of the YCS 100

3. Locate the two-pronged CR8 jumper near the center back

of the YCS board. (See the photograph below.)
