1Introduction
The FOCUS Enhancements Pro AV 1600 product family is a series of products that produce standard, recordable NTSC
or PAL base band video from High-Resolution Computer Graphics devices. In addition to composite and S-video, the
Pro AV 1600 has Betacam-compatable or RGB component outputs.
The Pro AV 1600 automatically senses the input resolution and frequency of the incoming Computer Graphics signal
and transforms the resolution of input Computer Graphics to full screen, 24 bit color, NTSC or PAL Video. The Pro
AV 1600 performs this transformation without disturbing the input Computer Graphics signal in any way;
High-Resolution Computer Graphics appears on the system's computer monitor as if the Pro AV 1600 was not there.
The Pro AV 1600’s output is fully broadcast compatible, and it has the ability to genlock to a reference video or black
burst signal. With this feature, you can synchronize your computer to video inputs or systems. Your computer can then
be used as a graphics or presentation video source. Independent adjustments allow full control over H phase and
subcarrier phase.

3Pro AV 1600 controls and adjustments
There are several parameters on the Pro AV 1600 that can be controlled through by the Pro AV 1600's control
interfaces.
Additional adjustments to functions that are not likely to accessed frequently - or are intended to be adjusted by
service personnel only - are available in the form of potentiometers, variable capacitors and jumpers on the Pro AV
1600 board itself. Access to these internal adjustments requires internal access to the PC.
3.1.0 Pro AV 1600 Interface Controllable Functions
The following parameters are accessible using the Pro AV 1600's control interfaces. Each of the controls has one of
three possible types of parameters associated with it, Toggle (the function is either on or off), Multiple Choice (there are
several, mutually exclusive options) or Range (the parameter varies over a range of values for a particular function).
Section 4 details the use of each of the Control interfaces.
3.1.1 Horizontal/Vertical Position (Range)
This control enables the user to position the converted Computer Graphics with respect to the output television.
The actual functioning of this control is dependent on the state of the Zoom function. If Zoom is off, H/V
Position enables minor changes in position of the full screen image. If zoom is on, H/V position functions as a
pan and scroll control, positioning the input window for zooming.
3.1.2 Horizontal/Vertical Size (Range)
This control enables the user to size the converted Computer Graphics with respect to the output television. The
actual functioning of this control is dependent on the state of the Zoom function. If Zoom is off, H/V Size enables
minor changes in size of the full screen image. If Zoom is on, the H/V Size Control is inactive. To properly size
the PC output to the television screen, follow these steps:
1. Position the under-scanned image to the top, left corner of the television screen
2. Toggle the Pro AV control panel to H,V Sizing
3. Use the IR remote control pad or arrow keys to size the screen both horizontally and vertically
3.1.3 Zoom (Toggle)
This control applies a 2X Zoom to a portion of the input Computer Graphics. The position of the window is
determined by the H/V Position control.
3.1.4 UnderScan (Toggle)
This control selects whether Underscan is applied to the Television Output. An "UnderScanned" picture slightly
shrinks the whole display such that information in the corners is visible. Select “UNDERSCAN” when you have text
or detail oriented pictures that requires you to preserve fine detail in the corner regions of the display. An
"OverScanned" picture fills the entire area of the screen, which is the natural way of presenting material in television.
Select “OVERSCAN” to present photo-realistic and animation oriented material.
3.1.5 Terminate VGA (Toggle)
This control connects the Pro AV1600's 75 Ohm termination resistors onto the computer's RGB output lines. Select
“TERMINATED” unless you are using the Pro AV 1600 with a pass through monitor cable (such as a HyperCable-PC,
intended for use with the Pro AV CP product line).
3.1.6 Fine Genlock H Position (Range) (Not available from IR remote mouse)
This control adjusts the relative horizontal picture position of the Television Output with respect to a Reference
Television signal. This control is only operational when using the Genlock capability of the Pro AV 1600.

This control applies a 75 Ohm termination to the Genlock input. This control is always operational.
3.1.11 NTSC/PAL (Toggle) (Not available from IR remote mouse)
This control selects between PAL and NTSC operation. Set this control to PAL for European operation. Set this
control to NTSC for American operation.
3.1.12 Flicker Reduction Filter (Multiple)
This control operates the Flicker Reduction Filter. Flicker filter settings from 0 (Flicker Filter is Off) to 7 (Flicker
Filter is at a maximum) are available. The display will indicate “FLK FLT = #” where # is the current setting of the
Flicker Filter.
3.1.13 Brightness Boost (Toggle) (Not available from IR remote mouse)
This control applies a Brightness Boost to the Television Output. Set “BRIGHT MAX” to raise the brightness of the
Television Output. Set “BRIGHT NORM” to set the Television Output to regulation brightness level.
3.1.14 Freeze Frame (Toggle)
