CTB-100

Operation Controls and Functions
Rear Panel
1. Video input:
There are one video and one S-Video on the input. The unit will automatically
detect the video input when either one of the input is connected.
When both inputs are connected, S-Video input has the priority.
2. Video out:
CTB-100 offers two different formats of video out simultaneously-composite,
and S-Video.
3. DC 12V 1A
4. Genlock input/Genlock output:(Only available on CTB-100G)
CTB-100G offers TBC/Genlock function in which video input is time base
corrected and genlocked to the sync of another video (Genlock in),
therefore making the two video output synchronized.
The full frame processing also reconstruct the sync burst and timing of the
video input and provide an error-free video output.
The video system of the video input and genlock input must be the same.
If they are different, the output video will be abnormal.
Genlock out is a loop-through of Genlock input which made possible the
synchronization between multiple video sources by connecting
Genlock out to the Genlock in of the next unit,and repeat it.
You can synchronize as many video sources as you like by cascading many
CTB-100G in series.
