Unpacking and Placement
unpacking the CVP2 Unpack your CVP2 and remove all accessories from the carton.
Important! Keep all packing materials for future transport of your CVP2.
Shipping your new component in anything other than its
purpose-designed packing material may result in damage
that is not covered by the warranty.
remote control Your CVP2 normally operates seamlessly as an extension to your Proceed
AVP2, via a dedicated RS-232 communications link. For this reason, it needs no
separate remote control, and will not add to the clutter of remote controls you
may already own.
placement Place the CVP2 near the video sources, thus keeping the interconnecting
cables reasonably short. It may be placed on a shelf or in a cabinet where it’s
convenient to operate. It may also be placed on top of an AVP2
Don’t crimp the cables! Note that adequate clearance for the power cord and
connecting cables must be left behind the CVP2. We suggest
leaving at least three inches of free space behind the CVP2
to allow all cables sufficient room to bend without crimping
or undue strain.
This is particularly important for video cables, as acute
bends may result in altering their characteristic impedance
of 75 Ω . The result would be a degraded picture due to
reflections and imperfect transmission of the video signal
along the length of the cable.
ventilation It is normal and perfectly safe for your CVP2 to run slightly warm. Be sure to
allow 2 to 3 inches of clearance above it to allow heat dissipation through air
circulation. Avoid placement on soft surfaces that would restrict airflow (such
as carpeting).
custom installations Drawings are included in this manual to facilitate special installations and cus-
tom cabinetry (see Dimensions).

7
serial number The serial number for your CVP2 is found on the rear panel of the unit. Please
note and record this number for your future reference.
register your purchase! Having found the serial number, now would be a good time to fill out the reg-
istration card. Please register your purchase so we can advise you of software
updates and other items of interest.
In the U.S. and Canada, registering your purchase also automatically
extends your warranty from 90 days to five years. It will take only a
minute or so. Please complete the card now, before you forget.

8
Operating Voltage
& Frequency
The CVP2 is supplied with a “universal”power supply that will convert 100V-
250V AC power to the much smaller DC power that it requires. This power is
further filtered and regulated inside the unit itself.
Do not replace this external power supply with anything but an exact replace-
ment from Madrigal. Attempting to operate the CVP2 with an improper power
supply can damage the unit. Such damage would not be covered under the
warranty.
Warning: There are no user-serviceable parts within the unit. Please
refer any problems to an authorized Proceed service center.
The CVP2 can easily be powered by a normal 15-ampere AC mains line, as it
draws only a few watts of power. If other devices are also powered from the
same AC line, their additional power consumption should be taken into ac-
count.

9
A Word About Installation
Every effort has been made to make the Proceed CVP2 simple and straightfor-
ward to install and use.
Still, the CVP2’s flexibility allows for many possible configurations. This user’s
manual will document the most common of these configurations, which be-
tween them should account for 95% or more of the actual installations. If your
system’s needs are not entirely met by one of the configurations described
herein, we suggest you consult with your local, authorized Proceed dealer/
installer. As versatile as the CVP2 is, the hugely varied system requirements in
this transitional world of both analog and digital television may require the
specific attention of a professional installer.
For this reason, we strongly encourage you to have your
system installed and calibrated by your dealer, whose
experience, training, and specialized equipment can make
a profound difference in the final usability and performance
of the system.
If you need or prefer to rack mount your CVP2, the necessary hardware is
supplied with the unit. To use the rack mount kit, simply follow the instruc-
tions on page 34. Once the rack brackets are in place, you may bolt the entire
unit securely to any EIA-standard rack.

Special Design Features
Congratulations on your purchase of the Proceed Component Video Processor
(CVP2). We have gone to great lengths to ensure that the CVP2 remains
“future-proof”even in these times of change. As a result, you will be able to
enjoy the outstanding performance of the CVP2 for many years. In case you
are interested in technical details, what follows is a brief outline of some of
the key technologies in your new product.
high performance
transcoding The CVP2 converts standard-definition (SDTV) NTSC- or PAL-formatted com-
posite and S-Video signals to high quality component (YPbPr) or RGB signals
(both sync on green and composite sync outputs are supported). The result is
an interlaced component output (480/60i for NTSC; 525/50i for PAL) that may
be deinterlaced by the Proceed PVP or by other video processors. The CVP2
may also be used to perform transcoding (color space conversion) between
SMPTE level interlaced component (YPbPr) and interlaced RGsB (sync on
green) video.
The quality with which the composite and S-video signals are converted to
component video is extremely high, with a great deal of attention paid to the
precision with which these consolidated signals are re-separated into compo-
nent form. The only significant improvement to be had over the CVP2’s
transcoding is to keep signals that are already available in the component do-
main in their original form. For that reason,.…
component video switching The CVP2 also adds robust component switching to the AVP2 system. With
four component inputs and a bandwidth of 70 MHz, any of the ATSC HDTV
signals can be handled without signal loss—even 1080/24p signals, the most
challenging of all HDTV standards (and one that thus far, no one is yet pro-
posing to actually broadcast).
Two of these component inputs are four-connector designs that can support
either RGBCs(Red, Green, Blue + Composite Sync) video or YPbPrcomponent
video. These four-connector component inputs may therefore be used to sup-
port switching the SCART standard popular in Europe (with the appropriate
SCART-to-BNC or SCART-to-RCA adaptor).
flexible configuration options The CVP2 has been designed to support a variety of possible needs, depend-
ing on the combination of source signals and display device you have in your
system.
A common configuration might be as a “component switching expander”of
the basic AVP2 system. In this configuration, the AVP2 “sees”the additional
four component inputs simply as additional, available inputs; it also routes any
composite or S-video signal that is selected on the main output path to the
CVP2 for transcoding to YPbPrcomponent or RGsB video. In this way, you can
have a single, high-quality connection to your television, or to a video proces-
sor such as the Proceed PVP. You no longer have to remember what type of
source you are selecting, so that you can switch the television’s input as well
as the audio/video processor’s input. The system handles the details for you.

11
Another configuration might include both traditional interlaced sources and
new-format digital sources (480p, 1080i, 720p, even 1080p). In this case, the
challenge is to make the most of the “legacy”sources so that watching them
does not become a huge disappointment after watching HDTV signals.
Once again, the CVP2 works for you to both make the most of these legacy
sources by trancoding them to interlaced component video with exceptional
quality, while also handling the switching of up to four HD sources via its
component inputs. All you need is a digital television that can accept all these
signal formats at its component input, and the operation of even such a di-
verse system becomes a “one-touch”operation.
Specific system configurations follow, later in the manual (after the description
of the basic hardware of the CVP2).
software updatable All the software that the CVP2 uses is stored in special “flash”memory that can
easily be updated as improvements are made available.
For example, support for system configurations that are uncommon today may
be added as we progress into the world of HDTV and new configurations are
required to meet new challenges.
Configuring the CVP2 may be done either via the menu system of a linked
AVP2, or via the RS-232 port (using an external RS-232 controller). Similarly,
routine operation is normally “transparent”to the user, happening automati-
cally as the AVP2 is used in its normal fashion. Your installer also has the op-
tion of creating a custom control interface using an external RS-232 system
such as AMX, Creston, or Elan, but this subject is beyond the scope of this
manual.

Rear Panel
Please remember to make a note of what sources you connect to which in-
puts. You will need to set up the relationships between front panel buttons
and rear panel connectors later, in the setup menu.
For now, you can connect any component source to any compatible set of
connectors—just keep a list of what-goes-where.
Be careful to connect the multi-wire component connections correctly,
whether YPbPror RGBCs, as confusing these connections will lead to truly bi-
zarre colors on your display. Nothing can be damaged by this cable confusion.
But if all the colors appear completely fouled up, either: the cables were con-
fused; or the CVP is confused about whether it is handling YPbPror RGBCssig-
nals (which are treated quite differently). Careful cable connection now will
make your life a little easier later.
1 COMPONENT INPUT 1
Component Input 1 includes four BNC connectors, which are commonly
used on professional video sources. It may be used in any of several
ways, as shown in the table below:
Input 1 Output
HDTV YPbPrpass through
HDTV RGBCspass through

2 COMPONENT INPUT 2
Component Input 2 is functionally the same as Component Input 1 ex-
cept that it uses four high quality RCA connectors, which are more com-
mon in consumer-grade video products. It may be used in any of several
ways, as shown in the table below:

SDTV (interlaced) RGBCspass through
3 COMPONENT INPUT 3
Component Input 3 is what most people would consider a “standard”
(YPbPr) component video input, and uses three high quality RCA connec-
tors. Input 3 may be used several ways, as shown below.
Input 3 Output
HDTV YPbPrpass through
HDTV RGsB pass through
SDTV (interlaced) RGsBRsGsBsor YPbPr

If you choose to route the progressive output of a Proceed PVP through
your CVP2, it must be connected to Component Input 3. See Configura-
tion 3 for more details.
4 COMPONENT INPUT 4
Component Input 4 is what most people would consider a “standard”
(YPbPr) component video input, and uses three high quality RCA connec-
tors. Input 4 may be used several ways, as shown below.

5 COMPOSITE INPUT 5
Any composite video signal connected to this input can be converted to
high quality YPbPr component or RGsB SDTV video, depending on how
the CVP2 is configured.
The most common use for this input is accepting the main composite
output of the AVP2. In this way, any composite source connected to the
AVP2 can be converted to component video.
6 S-VIDEO INPUT 6
Any S-video signal connected to this input can be converted to high
quality YPbPr component or RGsB SDTV video, depending on how the
CVP2 is configured.
The most common use for this input is accepting the main S-video out-
put of the AVP2. In this way, any S-video source connected to the AVP2
can be converted to component video.
7 VIDEO OUTPUTS
The CVP2 has two video outputs: a three-wire component/RGB signal
and a composite video signal for simple monitoring and other applica-
tions. All three outputs use high quality 75ΩBNC connectors, the stan-
dard for professional video applications.
When the CVP2 has been configured to convert SDTV inputs to SDTV
YPbPr component video output, the connectors (as seen from the rear)
provide Y, Pb, and Prrespectively, read left to right.
If the CVP2 has been configured instead to convert SDTV inputs to SDTV
RsGsBsvideo, the connectors (as seen from the rear) provide G, B, and R
respectively, read left to right. Sync signals are available on all three
channels, as well as on the fourth connector (which may be used for
composite sync in SCART connections).
When the CVP2 is converting SDTV inputs to SDTV component or RsGsBs
output, the fourth (right-most) connector contains a composite video ver-
sion of the same video signal, which may be used to drive a standard
television monitor.
8 RS-232 TO CONTROLLER
The CVP2 includes a general-purpose RS-232 port that may be used in
conjunction with external control systems such as Audioaccess, AMX, or
Crestron. This facility enables control of the AVP2 and CVP2 as a system.
Your dealer can assist you in taking advantage of these advanced fea-
tures.
This RS-232 port may also be used to update the operating software of
the CVP2.
9 RS-232 TO AVP2
The CVP2 includes a dedicated RS-232 port, the use of which is reserved
for communications with the Proceed AVP2. Connect this RS-232 port to
your AVP2’s RS-232 port, using the supplied RJ-11 cable (which looks
like but is not the same as a telephone extension cable).

16
Caution! Do not attempt to substitute a generic telephone extension
cable for the cable included with your CVP2, as they are not
wired the same. If you require a longer cable, please consult
with your dealer who can either order or custom-build an
appropriate cable for you.
10 DC INPUT
The Proceed CVP2 uses a high quality, regulated external power supply
to convert the AC mains power to a smaller DC voltage prior to introduc-
ing the power to the CVP2 itself. This power is then re-regulated within
the CVP2 to provide extremely pure and clean power to all the CVP2’s
critical circuitry.
Connect the external power supply to the AC mains wall outlet first, then
connect the DC connector of the power supply to the DC Input connec-
tor on the CVP2.
The Proceed CVP2 is designed for operation with its included
external power supply. Do not substitute any other power
supply. If for some reason you need a replacement, it must
be ordered from Madrigal via your local, authorized Proceed
dealer. Use of any other external power supply may cause
damage that would not be covered under the warranty.

Configuration 1:
AVP2 & CVP2
This configuration adds component video switching to the AVP2, and can
transcode all SDTV video formats, either for direct connection to a television
or in preparation for further video processing. HDTV signals are passed
through to the output of the CVP2.
In this way, one can have a single connection to the display device, and enjoy
one-touch selection of any A/V source on the AVP2 (without having to also
select different video inputs on the television).
For the purposes of this explanation, we will assume that your AVP2 is set up
according to its owner’s manual, and that its operating software is up to date.
Important! At the beginning of this setup procedure, make sure that the
main video output of the AVP2 is connected directly to your
display. You must have access to the AVP2 on-screen menus
during the initial configuration of the CVP2.
If in doubt about any of these conditions being met, please consult your local
Proceed dealer.

18
1 SELECT THE VIDEO OUTPUT OPTIONS IN THE AVP2
This menu is accessed by pressing menu to display the main menu of
the AVP2, followed by enter to select the Set Video Outputs menu. Then,
assuming your television (or video processor) requires a standard com-
ponent video input, make the following selections in the Video Outputs
menu:
VIDEO OUTPUTS
AVP2: OUT TO CVP2
CVP2: YPbPr TO TV
PVP: NOT USED
If your television (or video processor) requires an RGsB signal instead of
a standard component signal, your AVP2 Video Outputs menu would
look like this instead:
VIDEO OUTPUTS
AVP2: OUT TO CVP2
CVP2: RGB TO TV
PVP: NOT USED
2 CONNECT ANY COMPONENT VIDEO SOURCES TO THE CVP2
Any component video sources that exist in the system should be con-
nected to suitable inputs on the CVP2.
Note: Make a note of which sources are connected to which
inputs, as you will need this information later for defining your
new sources in the AVP2 menu.
Any progressive or high definition component video signals will be
passed through the CVP2 without modification. Your display device must
be able to display these signals in their unaltered form when receiving
them on its component input.
3 DEFINE YOUR NEW A/V INPUTS IN THE AVP2 MENU SYSTEM
Having told your AVP2 that there is now a CVP2 in the system, define
your new source components as “buttons”on the AVP2 in the usual fash-
ion, taking advantage of the new component input options that will be
available in your menu system.

19
4 CONNECT THE MAIN VIDEO OUTPUTS OF THE AVP2 TO INPUTS 5 AND
6 OF THE CVP2
Until now, you have been using the main video output of the AVP2 for
reading the on-screen menus. You can now shift over to your new video
connections and continue to use the on-screen menus. This is the first
step in doing so.
Connect the main composite video output of the AVP2 to Input 5 of the
CVP2.
Connect the main S-video video output of the AVP2 to Input 6 of the
CVP2.
These connections supply the selected composite or S-video source to
the CVP2 for conversion to component (or RGsB) video. Use high quality
video cables. Both the composite and the S-video connections must be
made.
5 CONNECT THE VIDEO OUTPUT OF THE CVP2 TO YOUR TELEVISION
This is the second step in shifting over to your new video connections.
Connect the main component (or RGsB) output of the CVP2 to a compo-
nent (or RGsB) input on your television, using high quality 75ΩBNC
cables. If your display device uses RCA connectors instead of profes-
sional BNC connectors, you may need BNC-to-RCA cables or BNC-to-
RCA adapters.
If you need a standard composite signal for monitoring purposes, con-
nect this output to your monitor. (Note that this output is only valid for
selected SDTV inputs. The CVP2 does not “downconvert” progressive or
HDTV signals.)
If you are using a SCART connection, you may use the composite output
connector to provide the composite sync signal needed for that standard.
6 CONNECT THE RS-232 PORT OF THE AVP2 TO THE CVP2
Connect the port labelled to AVP2 of your CVP2 to your AVP2’s RS-232
port using the supplied RJ-11 cable.
Caution! Do not attempt to substitute a generic telephone extension
cable for the cable included with your CVP2, as they are not
wired the same. If you require a longer cable, please consult
with your dealer who can either order or custom-build an
appropriate cable for you.
7 CYCLE THROUGH STANDBY
Cycling the AVP2 from standby back to operate will ensure that the RS-
232 connection between the AVP2 and the CVP2 is active. This will allow
the two components to work together, as a single system.

Configuration 2:
AVP2/CVP2/PVP
This configuration adds SDTV component video switching to the AVP2,
transcodes all SDTV non-component video signals to interlaced SDTV compo-
nent video, and routes the resulting signals to the Proceed PVP for conversion
to progressive video.
In this configuration, all video sources must be interlaced (480/60i NTSC or
525/50i PAL). If you have progressive or HD sources, you must use either
Configuration 1 (no PVP) or Configuration 3 (includes a PVP).
This configuration simplifies day-to-day operation of even complex video sys-
tems with a variety of SDTV composite video, S-video and component video
sources by providing a “universal translator”of those various signals to a
single standard. Everything will be displayed as either 480/60p or 525/50p
progressive video, depending on whether the original signal was NTSC- or
PAL-formatted (respectively).
In this way, one can have a single connection to the display device, and enjoy
one-touch selection of any A/V source on the AVP2 (without having to also
select different video inputs on the television).
