1. Introduction

1.1 General

The Model AC135A-R2 converts an NTSC or PAL video signal to

VGA for display on PC monitors, projectors, or other progressive scan

displays. The converter de-interlaces and doubles the frame rate by

turning the interlaced Video input signal into a "progressive scan"

signal suitable for high-resolution display devices.

The AC135A-R2 provides multiple TV video inputs: two (2 ea.) RCA

composite video and one (1 ea.) S-Video -all with their own

corresponding stereo audio inputs.

Additionally, the unit provides a separate VGA and audio input from a

PC that can be switched to the output. This makes the AC135A-R2 a 4-

input to multi-standard switcher.

The user can select any of the inputs using individual push-button

switches on the front panel. An RS232 serial port is available for

external control and/or changing the internal configuration of the unit.

The unit has the ability to switch between the PC and TV inputs

automatically. When in “Auto” mode, if no TV video signal is present,

it selects the PC input and as soon as a TV input is detected, it switches

to the TV input by itself. This feature makes the unit perfect for

educational facilities where the presenter does not even have to worry

about making selections on the AC135A-R2.

The AC135A-R2 also provides 4 Stereo audio inputs, one for each

corresponding video input. The audio switching follows the selected

video input channel. In addition, each audio input has its own

adjustable volume setting making it perfect for balancing the output

volume level regardless of the input selection.

The AC135A-R2's VGA output can drive VGA extension cables to 200

feet. It is recommended that when video extension cables are used, only

high quality multi-coaxial VGA or RGBHV (such as Black Box

EVNPS05-0050-MF) be used.

When enabled, OSD (On Screen Display) shows the selected TV input

for a few seconds, or if the selected input does not have video, it

continuously indicates the selected input. Screen Saver feature moves

the OSD around the screen when no video input is detected. The OSD

can be permanently disabled via the serial port.

The front panel can be locked out. This is a handy feature in many

installations. For example if the system is in “Auto” mode, the installer

may wish to also lock the front panel so that accidental hitting of the

front panel switches does not take the system out of Auto mode.

The unit features a front panel switch for enhancing the TV video input

prior to display on a VGA monitor. The enhancement is based on non-

linear Gamma correction. to bring out the details in the dark areas

without over driving the already bright regions of the image.

The Serial input givesthe user or installer full control over all aspects

of the device including: Contrast, Brightness, Saturation, Hue, OSD,

Front Panel Lock, Volume settings, Auto mode, TV format

(NTSC/PAL), Enhancement factor, and more.

The Model AC135A-R2 is housed in a compact shielded enclosure and

includes a small power adapter and 6 ft video and audio cables for

connection to the PC’s VGA and sound outputs.
