1. Getting Started
The Pacific C-A / C-AG all-in-one Converter box allows conversion of input signals from HDMI/DVI/
VGA/YPbPr/CVBS (NTSC/PAL) and SDI (3G/HD/SD) to HDMI/DVI/VGA/YPbPr and SDI (3G/HD/SD)
output signals with scaling. A compact, stand-alone video converter, it is ideal for many professional
video conversion applications, including video production, conferencing, presentations, OB vans, post-
production, and television broadcasting. It provides automatic video input format detection and audio
monitoring, supports a wide variety of video resolutions, and is capable of simultaneous output of VGA,
DVI, HDMI, YPbPr and SDI signals.
This chapter introduces the features and specifications as well as external components of Avitech
Pacific C-A / C-AG.

1.2 Product Features
The Pacific C-A / C-AG is capable of converting and scaling signals to a high quality HDMI/DVI/VGA/
YPbPr and SDI signals. It can sense the following input signals: HDMI/DVI/VGA/YPbPr/SDI (3G/HD/SD)
/CVBS (NTSC/PAL) automatically, then convert and scale them to the user-defined HDMI/DVI/VGA and
SDI/YPbPr signal. The Pacific is capable of simultaneous output of DVI, HDMI, and SDI signals with
most resolutions.* It also features a DVI-D LOOP OUT** port for connection to an external display for
monitoring of the signal entering the DVI-I IN port.
The Pacific C-A / C-AG also supports area of interest cropping through its LCD interface and through a
computer connected to the Pacific C-A / C-AG. Additionally, Avitech’s PacificConfig utility*** software
can monitor the broadcast output of all networked Pacific devices.
For television broadcast application, the Pacific C-A / C-AG supports the setting of safe area graticules,
genlock functions (Pacific C-AG) with timing offset controls, and the embedding of analog stereo audio
into the SDI/HDMI output with a user defined time delay. The Pacific also has audio monitoring
capabilities through a 1/8 inch stereo headphone jack (which can support up to 170ms of delay).
The LCD interface on the Pacific C-A / C-AG displays its operational status and input signal information.
The LCD interface also allows users to fully configure all the Pacific’s settings.
* See the Output Resolution Table in the Appendix of this manual for a complete list of resolutions.
** DVI-D loop out does not support analog source signals; VGA or YPbPr (through VGA or YPbPr to DVI
adapter).
*** Input port selection, output resolution, and device name and IP address adjustments are also supported
by the Avitech PacificConfig software.
Note: To comply with the HDCP license agreement, any source with HDCP encryption cannot be converted
to SDI.

2. System Configuration
This chapter discusses the process of using the LCD panel to set up the Pacific C-A / C-AG, as well as
instructions on how to use the Avitech PacificConfig utility software.
2.1 Using the LCD Panel
The LCD panel allows for control of the Pacific C-A / C-AG including features such as input/output signal
adjustments, video cropping, keying/overlay, aspect ratio adjustments and operational status reports.
The LCD panel consists of 3 buttons:
Go to previous selection (up arrow button)
Go to next selection (down arrow button)
Enter the next level of a menu, or select the currently highlighted item.
Figure 2-1 LCD Panel: Busy State
1. When the busy state “PLEASE WAIT . . . .” message is displayed on the LCD panel (see sample
screen above), DO NOT disconnect or connect any signal cables as a fault may occur.
2. Also, DO NOT change any of the incoming signal’s display resolutions while the Pacific C-A / C-AG is in
the busy state.
2.1.1 Welcome Screen
Upon starting up the LCD panel, the welcome screen is shown for about 15 seconds.
Figure 2-2 LCD Panel: Welcome Screen
Then the following default screen is displayed.
Figure 2-3 LCD Panel: Default Initial Screen
This screen displays the unit’s default settings.
1. First line (video): Automatically selects the input signal in the following order (firstly CVBS, SDI, YPbPr,
VGA, DVI, and lastly HDMI) when more than one signal type is detected.
Then, outputs it at 1080p @ 60Hz.
Note: Due to the screen display size constraint, (A:AUTO, H:HDMI, V:VGA, Y:YPbPr, S:SDI, D:DVI).
2. Second line (audio): The default audio signal source is set at “Follow Video” (e.g., HDMI). The audio
feature allows the selection of an audio signal source (Follow Video, HDMI, SDI, LINE IN). By default
the audio time delay is set to: 0(no audio delay). The Pacific C-A / C-AG supports up to 170ms of time
delay.

Table 2-5 Image Adjustment

1. Image misalignment is most likely to occur with VGA signals in the 50Hz timing frequency range and
the less commonly used resolutions in the 60Hz timing frequency range.
a) When switching between VGA resolution signals that have timing frequencies (horizontal and vertical
frequency, vertical total) that are very similar, image misalignment may occur.
b) e.g., 1280×1024 60Hz change to 1400×1050 60Hz (adjust HSTART/VSTART/WIDTH/HEIGHT) back
to 1280×1024 60Hz (since the timing frequency is very near that of 1400×1050 60Hz, adjust
HSTART/VSTART/WIDTH/HEIGHT for 1280×1024 60Hz again to prevent image misalignment).
2. Depending on the signal type, SATURATION and HUE can only be set for YUV color space.
a) YUV is a color space typically used as part of a color image pipeline. Taking human perception into
account, YUV encodes a color image or video, allowing reduced bandwidth for chrominance
components. This typically masks transmission errors or compression artifacts more efficiently than
using a "direct" RGB-representation.
b) When the HDMI signal is transmitted under YCbCr422 color space (set from HDMI device itself),
Pacific C-A / C-AG will enable the SATURATION and HUE function in IMAGE PARAMETER menu. If
the HDMI signal is under YCbCr444 color space, the SATURATION and HUE functions will be
disabled.

In compliance with ST 431-1:2006 (SMPTE standard that specifies the absolute luminance level, white
point chromaticity, and luminance uniformity of the reflected screen light for the presentation of motion
pictures by projectors with digital light engines in review rooms and commercial cinemas. The purpose of
this specification is to achieve the tone scale and contrast in the projected image that will correspond to that
intended during the mastering process), this item allows the adjustment of the “L”value in the decoding
equation for luminance: where Y’ is the DCDM (Digital Cinema Distribution
Master) code value for luminance, Y is luminance, and L is 48.0.
The following “white luminance value”table includes the value for (Parameter), (Reference), (Review Room
Tolerances), and (Theater Tolerances).
MAKE SURE that 48.0 cd/m2is the basis (Reference) for the adjustment, then use the “Lambda”item in the
LCD panel (–10 to 10) to adjust the Theater Tolerance.
Reference: The desired parameter level or value. This is the value relative to defined tolerances.
Review Room: A theater in which critical image decisions are made.
Theater: A facility in which a paying customer views the images.
The projector should be set-up and run according to the manufacturer’s specifications. For these
measurements, the projector must be turned on and allowed to stabilize for at least 20 minutes before any
measurements are taken. Theroom lights in thetheater should be turned off (except for lighting provided for
safety reasons), in order to equal the normal theater operating conditions. The projector must receive
images defined by the X’Y’Z’ code values (refer to the next table; the last column when added up
corresponds to the “L” value of approximately 48.0).
