DOC Compliance Notice
This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian
Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.
DOC avis de conformation
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B respecte toutes les exigences du
Réglement sur le Matériel Brouilleur du Canada.
• WARNING •
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocare the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connectthe equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

The IDC-3000 converts NTSC video signals into scan-doubled signals.
This scan converter can be used with a multi-synchronous scan monitor or
projectors having a minimum of 31.5 kHz horizontal scanning capability to
provide high-quality images.
The IDC-3000 can be also connected to a document camera, conventional
VCR, video disc player, S-Video recorder, or video camera.
FEATURES
vMotion adaptive 3-dimensional Y/C separation circuit greatly reduces
cross talk (dot interference/cross color).
vMotion adaptive 3-dimensional scanning line interpolation circuit pro-
vides a reduction of line flicker and an increase of vertical resolution.
vTwo-mode digital video noise reduction circuit greatly improves the
signal-to-noise ratio of the signal.
vForced (non adaptive) still screen mode provides a still image without
erroneous operation of the operation detection circuit. (This is useful
with the images of document cameras, etc.)
vEquipped with a demonstration split function for processing artificial
interlace and switching off 3-dimensional Y/C separation processing
the right half of the screen.
vPC-CONTROL connector permits control of a personal computer.

Warnings and Safety Precaution
The NEC IDC-3000 is designed and manufactured to provide long, trouble-
freeservice.Nomaintenanceotherthancleaning is required. Use a soft cloth
and if necessary, mild detergent. Do not use commercial spray cleaners
which may damage the surface. In case of damage, arrange for repairs at an
authorized NEC Service Center.
For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit, read carefully and
observe the following instructions.
To avoid shock and fire hazards:
1. Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid internal heat build-up. If
you enclose the unit in a cabinet or rack, be sure there is adequate space
at the top of the unit to allow heated air to rise and escape.
2. Do not use the power cord polarized plug with extension cords or outlets
unless the prongs can be completely inserted.
3. Do not expose unit to rain or moisture.
4. Avoid damage to the power cord, and do not attempt to modify the power
cord.
5. Unplug unit during electrical storms or if unit will not be used over a long
period.
6. Do not open the cabinet which has potentially dangerous high voltage
componentsinside.If the unit is damaged in this way the warranty will be
void. Moreover, there is a serious risk of electric shock.
7. Donotattempttoservice or repairtheunit.NEC is notliableforany bodily
harm or damage caused if unqualified persons attempt service or open
the cabinet. Refer all service to authorized NEC Service Centers.
To avoid damage and prolong operating life:
1. Use only with 120V 60Hz AC power supply.
2. Handle the unit carefully when moving and do not drop.
3. Locate set away from heat, excessive dust, and direct sunlight.
4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small metal objects. In
case of accident, unplug the unit and have it serviced by an authorized
NEC Service Center.
5. Unplug unit before cleaning. Use only a soft cloth and mild detergent.
Commercial household sprays and cleaners may damage the cabinet.
WARNING
Unqualified persons should under no circumstances remove the cabinet of
the unit to make internal adjustments. The warranty is void if the unit is
damagedin thisway.Moreover,thereis aseriousriskofelectric shock.Ifyou
have service difficulties, call your dealer.

WhenusingRS-232C, only pins6,7,8and12
are effected. Therefore, nothing should be
connected to pins 1,2,3 and 11. When using
witha projector,setthe PC-CONTROLswitch
to the 422 position.

When a phono pin plug is not connected to the right channel
audio input (output) jack, the left channel audio input (out-
put) jack functions as a monaural audio input (output) jack.
* When a signal is input via the RGB (THROUGH) connec-
tor, the signal is looped-through out.
