Introduction About the YCV 100, VYC 100N, and VYC 100P The Extron YCV 100 is a high-performance S-video to composite video encoder. It combines S-video Y and C (luminance and chrominance) signals into a composite video signal. The encoder is compatible with NTSC 3.58, NTSC 4.43, PAL, and SECAM signals. The unit accepts S-video input on two female BNC connectors or one 4-pin mini DIN connector and outputs composite video on one female BNC connector.
Installation and Operation Mounting the YCV 100, VYC 100N, & VYC 100P The YCV 100, VYCN, and VYC 100P can be set on a table or mounted on a rack shelf, under a desk or tabletop, or on a projector mount. Tabletop use Four self-adhesive rubber feet are included with the YCV 100, VYC 100N, and VYC 100P. For tabletop use, attach one foot at each corner of the bottom side of the unit and place the unit in the desired location.
Installation and Operation 2. Mount the unit on the rack using the two included rack screws. It can be vertically mounted facing in either direction, as shown here. L BUC 102 L R UNBAL ON SPARE 1 2 R BAL BAL/UNBAL INPUTS BAL/UNBAL OUTPUTS DIS AUDIO BAL/UNBAL CONVERTER POWER 12V 0.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Projector mounting Rear Panel Features and Cabling Projector mount the YCV 100, VYC 100N, or VYC 100P using the optional PMK 100 mounting kit (part #70-217-01) as follows: YCV 100 VIDEO OUT YCV 100 Remove rubber feet if they were previously installed on the bottom of the unit. 1. S-VIDEO ENCODER 2 Y 2. Attach the projector mounting brackets to the unit with the machine screws provided. 3.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Strip the insulation from the wires to expose 5 mm (3/16") of the conductors. Do not tin the stripped power supply leads before installing the captive screw connector. Tinned wires are not as secure in the captive screw connectors and could be pulled out. Smooth A The two power cord wires must be kept separate while the power supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.
Installation and Operation, cont’d Troubleshooting Possible problems and their solutions include the following: YCV 100, VYC 100N, and VYC 100P • Problem: No power at unit Solution: Verify that the unit is receiving power by checking the front or rear LED. If no LED is 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.
