strength, the video signal will be brighter when this parameter is bigger.
AVERAGE Vpp: means average of the difference between maximum and minimum
Page 11
CCTV Tester User’s Manual
10
of video signal strength, if the signal sent out by camera is 1Vpp, and the detected
signal from tester is less than 1V, for example, its 0.8V, this means the attenuation
of video signal is 20%.
SYNC SIGNAL：means the voltage of the synchro signal, 0.3V means the best
signal.
If there is no signal is detected, “No Video” will be displayed.
