Power Adaptor and Supply
Connect the PS-9000 power adaptor to the power supply connector. The
PS-9000 provides regulated +5V DC (5%) @ up to 2A. The DC power cord has
a locking connector that securely fastens into the power supply DC jack on the
ADC-9032. The ADC-9032 has a standard miniature power jack (center pin
positive). If using an adaptor other than the PS-9000, ensure that the polarity is
correct and that the voltage is +5V DC regulated to 5% and it can supply
sufficient current for the ADC-9032. Use of improper adaptors may damage the
ADC-9032 and will void the warranty.
Installations outside of North America using line voltages of 200 - 240 Volts
require a plug, certified for the country of use, to be installed on the supplied
line cord.
Refer to the section “Important Regulatory and Safety Notices to Service
Personnel” at the front of this manual for details.
If using an adaptor other than the PS-9000, ensure that:
• the polarity is correct
• the voltage is +5V DC regulated to 5%
• sufficient current for the ADC-9032 is supplied
Caution — Use of improper adaptors may damage the ADA-9503
and will void the warranty.

a.A “valid” signal is defined as any analog composite video signal standard input into the ADC-9032,
which matches the setting of the Video Standard that has been selected in the Function Setup and Configuration Menu. In other words, if the converter is in its default state for NTSC (525/60) video, then
only an NTSC (525/60) composite video signal input will cause the OK LED to be lit. Any other analog
composite video signal, of a different standard (PAL -B, PAL-M, PAL N), that is input into the converter
will be “invalid” and the ERROR LED will be lit.
When continually lit, an invalida signal has been detected,
or no input is present on the input. The SDI output is
muted in this case.
When flashing, this LED indicates that the color sync is
not locked either due to an absence of a color signal or a
incorrect video standard setting
When lit, this LED indicates the menu item range is
greater than the lower limit, but equal to or less than unity.
When flashing, this LED indicates that the selected menu
item is adjusted to the lower limit.
When unlit, this LED indicates the selected menu item is
adjusted above unity.
When lit, this LED indicates that the menu item range is
less than the upper limit, but equal to or greater than unity.
When flashing, this LED indicates that the selected menu
item is adjusted to the upper limit.
When unlit, this LED indicates that the selected menu
item is adjusted below unity.

Function Menu Notes
Some of the menu items in Ta bl e 2 are explained here in further detail as
follows:
Video Standard
Use this menu to select the video standard of the incoming analog video. Please
note that not all formats and levels exist for all standards. For example, RGB
does not exist for PAL-N or PAL-M since this format exists in 525 and 625 line
versions and those are covered by the other two standards.
Configuration (Iss. 05) • 18
Page 20
Auto Gain
Use this menu to automatically try to compensate for any perceived gain
deficiencies. Auto Gain is based on sync amplitude.
Standard/VTR Mode
This menu enables the module to convert either broadcast quality or
non-broadcast quality analog input signals independently, selectable according
to the level of the video quality to be received. The level of conversion quality
required for a non-broadcast VTR signal is different than a broadcast signal. In
the default state, Standard mode, a 3-line adaptive filter is employed to assure
the highest quality conversion to SDI video output standards. In VTR mode
however, the 3-line adaptive filter is disabled and a notch filter is used instead.
Video Level
Use this menu to adjust the video level of the SDI signal to match the white level
of the incoming video. This setting also affects the black video level menu so it
will be necessary to go back and forth between these two adjustments to get both
black and white levels set. This menu has a 2-button quick default to unity
(default). Press both up and down buttons at the same time and hold for three
seconds. Since the white and black levels are linked together, defaulting the
white level will automatically default the black level as well.
Black Level Offset
Use this menu to adjust the level of the SDI signal to match the incoming video
black level. This setting is also affected by changes in the Video Level menu
(see above), so it will be necessary to go back and forth between these two
adjustments to get both black and white levels set. This menu has a 2-button
quick default to unity (default). Press both up and down buttons at the same time
and hold for three seconds to jump to unity.
Chroma Level
Use this menu to adjust the video chroma level of the SDI signal to match the
incoming video color levels. This setting and the U-Gain setting are adjusted
together for best results using an SDI vector scope. This menu has a 2-button
quick default to unity (default). Press both up and down buttons at the same time
and hold for three seconds.
Hue
Use this menu to adjust the video Hue angle of the SDI signal to match the
incoming video color levels. This menu is disabled for component formats. This
menu has a 2-button quick default to unity (default). Just press both up and
down buttons at the same time and hold for three seconds.
19 • Configuration (Iss. 05)
Page 21
Setup On
If the incoming analog composite video has Setup, then this user-controlled
setting should be set to On. If there is no Setup on the incoming analog
composite video, then this user-controlled setting should be set to Off. This
setting controls how the decoder will scale the analog video, and where it will
set black in the digital domain. The default setting for this control is determined
by the standard in use, with NTSC and PAL-M defaulting to On, with the
DOWN LED unlit, and the UP LED lit. For RGB, Setup should be changed
from the default On to Off. PAL-B and PAL-N have Setup set to Off and the
menu locked out.
Default Set
This menu item enables a reset to be done on some or all of the user-controlled
settings. Holding the Down button for three seconds will reset the proc amp
level settings (Video, Black Level Offset, Setup On, Chroma, and Hue) to unity
and change the setup menu value to On or Off as is normal for the selected
standard, format, and level. Holding the Up button for three seconds will reset
all user-controlled settings, including the proc amp settings, to their default
states.
Note that when selecting this option, the state of the DOWN and UP LEDs will
indicate if any settings are not in their default states.
• If the DOWN LED is flashing, it indicates there is at least one proc
amp setting that is not in its default state. Defaulting the proc amp will
be indicated when the DOWN LED is lit solid.
• If the UP LED in this setting is flashing, it indicates that at least one
user-controlled setting (proc amp setting or otherwise) is not in its
default state. Defaulting all user-controlled settings will be indicated
when the UP LED is lit solid.
Force Mono
Use this menu to remove the chroma from the output SDI. Setting this option to
On results in a monochrome SDI output and also disables the ERROR LED
which reports missing color Sync in the input.
VI Blanking
Use this menu to select whether data or test signals in the vertical blanking get
passed or stripped from the SDI output.
VI End
Use this menu to set where the end of blanking and the beginning of video is at
the top of the picture. Setting is relative to the normal end of VI blanking for
SDI (line 20 for 525, and line 23 for 625). Contact Ross Video Technical
Support for more info or help on this feature.

Status Report
This menu selection is primarily for Ross Video use.
If an on-board error has occurred with the ADC-9032, this menu item will
provide some indication as to the nature of the problem. In Status Report mode,
the DOWN and UP LEDs will flash at the same time and the number of
consecutive flashes will indicate the type of error. A simple single flash
followed by a long pause before repeating means no error is reported. If multiple
flashes occur, record the number of flashes. Use the Down button to clear this
error and view if any other errors are concurrent. Contact Ross Video Technical
Support if you require any assistance. The Up button provides access to the
firmware version display:
1. While holding the Up button, the DOWN LED will flash the upper
digit of the firmware version.
2. While the DOWN LED is flashing, note the status of the UP LED:
• If the UP LED is on, this indicates that the lower digit is zero.
• If the UP LED is off then after the DOWN LED is finished the
UP LED will flash for the lower digit of the version.This is
followed by a pause where both LEDs are off and then repeats.
3. Release the Up button to return to the Status Report mode.
PLL Enable
This menu item selects one of two internal clock locking circuits. For normal
operation, the default setting of On should be maintained. For input video
signals which exhibit asynchronous switches between non-timed sources or
signals with excessive noise, the Off setting provides faster locking, but adds
more jitter to the output signal.
Menu Accessibility
Note that some user-controlled settings may become inaccessible depending
upon the video standard that has been selected from the menu. Tab le 3
illustrates which menu items are unavailable in each of the video standards.
