Instruction Manual.
• Input of RGB / S-Video / Composite from any source, such as DVD players,
Sky Digital, On Digital or digital cable.
• Output of two high-quality RGB / S-Video / Composite copies of the input.
Correct levels are maintained.
• Correct load to source equipment - Does not overload the source equipment.
• Output levels are the same as the input levels - no loss or variations in
brightness.
• Audio is passed through without modification to ensure optimum audio
quality.
• Widescreen switching information is passed through.
• Compact design, integrated power supply and a low cost solution.
The Active Video Buffer unit should be connected to the source via a SCART
lead. If RGB or S-Video signals are to be buffered, it is advisable to use a fully
connected SCART lead, or one that has at least the RGB, audio and composite
connections. Fully connected SCART leads are available at most retailers.
The unit requires a 230V a.c. 50/60Hz mains supply to operate.

Configuration of Home-Cinema with the Active Video Buffer.
A basic configuration is to connect the digital set-top box (or DVD player) to the
Active Video Buffer and then to connect two viewing devices from the Active Video
Buffer’s outputs. If the viewing area, for example, has a projector that is only used on
occasion the Active Video Buffer allows for the projector to permantely connected as
well as simultaneous viewing.
If high quality RGB video is required in another room, the Active Video Buffer can be
used to provide two outputs from one device. Using a long SCART lead, the second
room can easily be connected.
For duplicating videos to more than one VCR, the Active Video Buffer provides a
high-quality means of providing a second output.
If the home-cinema system has an S-VHS or D-VHS recorder, then it would be
appropriate to connect the RGB to S-Video converter to one of the Active Video
Buffer’s outputs. The second output of the Active Video Buffer can then deliver high
quality RGB to the TV, plasma screen or projector.
Configuration of the Digital Set-top Box and DVD Player.
For Sky Digital, press the "Services" button on the remote control to bring up the
services menu. Go to option 4 - System Set-up. Then to 1 - Picture Settings. Ensure
that Video Output is RGB, not PAL. Do not press the "TV" button as this switches off
the RGB output.
For On Digital select menu, "4", then "2" and the TV Output option toggles between
RGB and Composite. The timer function with On Digital switches off the RGB
output, therefore if recording via the converter leave the unit on the desired channel.
Please refer to the DVD player’s user manual for options for RGB output and ensure
that it is active.
