Product Description
The VCP-010-06-x is a high quality, multi-standard video
cassette player. This unit plays versions of NTSC and PAL video
cassettes. The video output format is selectable between NTSC
and PAL mode.
AI source equipment can be optionally controlled by infrared
remote (AI-RCx-17xxxx). Playback options with this remote
include visual search, pause, play, stop, fast forward, rewind, eject,
and format. A unique infrared strapping feature allows up to either
four (4) or eight (8) similar devices to be used in the same system
at the same time while maintaining independent control. The
number of devices available for use in the strapping feature
depends on the unit’s infrared system configuration.
The “-x” suffix designates the type of connector utilized;
“-1” = Positronic and “-2” = D-Subminiature.

2. Utilizing the infrared inputs, the VCP-010-06-x can be
configured to accept up to four (4) different sets of infrared
codes or eight (8) separate RS-485 addresses. This allows
up to four (4) of the same devices when using infrared inputs
or eight (8) of the same devices when using the RS-485 data
bus to be used in the same system while maintaining
independent control. Three (3) strap pins are available to
configure the infrared codes and RS-485 addressing.
Standard configuration requires no strap pins to be
connected. To change the code settings, connect one (1) of
the strap pins to the strap common.
3. The video output connector (BNC1) allows for connection of
the VCP to the video source selector. Since the video source
does not have audio switching, it will provide video output
only. Separate audio outputs are provided.
Operations Summary
1 The video player has several front panel controls. To play,
insert a video cassette into the VCP and the unit will
automatically begin to play when the tape is inserted.
2. When the VCP reaches the end of the cassette, the player
will automatically rewind the cassette and stop. Press EJECT
on the front panel to unload the cassette.
3. If power is interrupted (>250 msec) while a cassette is in the
video player, the player will shut down and the cassette must
be ejected and reinserted into the VCP to play the tape.
4. The VCP powers up to an output of NTSC. Press the
FORMAT button on the front of the player to change the
output standard between NTSC and PAL.
Installation Guidelines
1. All power and ground wires must be 22 AWG, MINIMUM. All
audio lines require twisted, shielded cable with the cable
shields properly grounded at the source. Power ground wires
must be grounded within 12 inches of the unit. Protect power
wires with circuit breakers or fuses located close to the
electrical power source bus.
2. The VCP-010-06-x must be mounted in a horizontal position
(not on side or back).
3. Long low-level audio runs may introduce noise into the audio
signal. All headphone amplifiers and line level amplifiers
should be located no more than three (3) feet away from the
source equipment.
