Guarantee and Compensation
RGBlink provides a guarantee related to perfect manufacturing as part
of the legally stipulated terms of guarantee. On receipt, the purchaser
must immediately inspect all delivered goods for damage incurred
during transportation, as well as for material and manufacturing faults.
Please complain to RGBlink by written notice.
The period of guarantee begins from the date of transfer of risks, in the
case of special systems and software on the date of commissioning, at
latest 30 days after the transfer of risks. In the event of justified notice of
compliant, RGBlink can repair the fault or provide a replacement at its own
discretion within an appropriate period. If this measure proves to be
impossible or unsuccessful, the purchaser can demand a reduction in the
purchase price or cancellation of the contract.All other claims, in particular
those relating to compensation for direct or indirect damage, and also
damage attributed to the operation of software as well as to other service
provided by RGBlink, being a component of the system or independent
service, will be deemed invalid provided the damage is not proven to be
attributed to the absence of properties guaranteed in writing or due to the
intent or gross negligence or part of RGBlink.
If the purchaser or a third party carries out modifications or repairs on
goods delivered by RGBlink, or if the goods are handled incorrectly, in
particular if the systems are commissioned operated incorrectly or if, after
the transfer of risks, the goods are subject to influences not agreed upon in
the contract, all guarantee claims of the purchaser will be rendered invalid.
Not included in the guarantee coverage are system failures which are
attributed to programs or special electronic circuitry provided by the
purchaser, e.g. interfaces. Normal wear as well as normal maintenance are
not subject to the guarantee provided by RGBlink either.
The environmental conditions as well as the servicing and maintenance
regulations specified in this manual must be complied with the customer.

more than 230 volts rms between the supply conductors or between both
supply conductor and ground. A protective ground connection by way of
grounding conductor in the power cord is essential for safe operation.
Grounding the Product
This product is grounded through the grounding conductor of the power
cord. To avoid electrical shock, plug the power cord into a properly wired
receptacle before connecting to the product input or output terminals. A
protective-ground connection by way of the grounding conductor in the
power cord is essential for safe operation.
Use the Proper Power Cord
Use only the power cord and connector specified for your product. Use only
a power cord that is in good condition. Refer cord and connector changes
to qualified service personnel.
Use the Proper Fuse
To avoid fire hazard, use only the fuse having identical type, voltage rating,
and current rating characteristics. Refer fuse replacement to qualified
service personnel.

1. Brief Introduction
Terms and Definitions
VSP 516S User Manual 19
Term and Definitions
The following terms and definitions are used throughout this guide.
“ASCII”: American Standard for Information Interchange. The standard
code consisting of 7-bit coded characters (8 bits including parity check)
used to exchange information between data processing systems, data
communication systems, and associated equipment. The ASCII set
contains control characters and graphic characters.
“Aspect ratio”: The relationship of the horizontal dimension to the
vertical dimension of an image. In viewing screens, standard TV is 4:3,
or 1.33:1; HDTV is 16:9, or 1.78:1. Sometimes the ―:1‖ is implicit,
making TV = 1.33 and HDTV = 1.78.
“AV”: Audio visual or audio video.
A “Background” is an unscaled source, typically originating from a
computer. A background source appears at the system’s lowest priority
—visually in back of all other sources.
“Baudrate”：Named of J.M.E. Baudot, the inventor of the Baudot
telegraph code. The number of the electrical oscillations per second,
called baud rate. Related to, but not the same as, transfer rate in bits
per second (bps).
“Blackburst”: The video waveform without the video elements. It
includes the vertical sync, horizontal sync, and the chroma burst
information. Blackburst is used to synchronize video equipment to
align the video output. One signal is normally used to set up an entire
video system or facility. Sometimes it is called House sync.
“BNC”: Bayonet Neill-Concelman. A cable connector used extensively
in television and named for its inventors. A cylindrical bayonet
connector that operates with a twist-locking motion. To make the
connection, align the two curved grooves in the collar of the male
connector with the two projections on the outside of the female collar,
push, and twist. This allows the connector to lock into place without
tools.
“Brightness”: Usually refers to the amount or intensity of video light
produced on a screen without regard to color. Sometimes called ―black
level.
―CAT 5‖:Category 5. Describes the network cabling standard that
consists of four unshielded twisted pairs of copper wire terminated by
RJ-45 connectors. CAT 5 cabling supports data rates up to 100 Mbps.
CAT 5 is based on the EIA/TIA 568 Commercial Building
Telecommunications Wiring Standard.
“Color bars”: A standard test pattern of several basic colors (white,
yellow, cyan, green, magenta, red, blue, and black) as a reference for
system alignment and testing. In NTSC video, the most commonly

1. Brief Introduction
Terms and Definitions
VSP 516S User Manual 20
Used color bars are the SMPTE standard color bars. In PAL video, the
most commonly used color bars are eight full field bars. In the
computer, the most commonly used color bars are two rows of
reversed color bars.
“Color burst”: In color TV systems, a burst of sub carrier frequency
located on the back porch of the composite video signal. This serves
as a color synchronizing signal to establish a frequency and phase
reference for the chroma signal. Color burst is 3.58 MHz for NTSC and
4.43 MHz for PAL.
“Color temperature”: The color quality, expressed in degrees Kelvin
(K), of a light source. The higher the color temperature, the bluer the
light. The lower the temperature, the redder the light. Benchmark color
temperature for the A/V industry includes 5000°K, 6500°K, and
9000°K.
“Contrast ratio”: The radio of the high light output level divided by the
low light output level. In theory, the contrast radio of the television
system should be at least 100:1, if not 300:1. In reality, there are
several limitations. In the CRT, light from adjacent elements
contaminate the area of each element. Room ambient light will
contaminate the light emitted from the CRT. Well-controlled viewing
conditions should yield a practical contrast ratio of 30:1 to 50:1.
“DVI”: Digital Visual Interface. The digital video connectivity standard
that was developed by DDWG (Digital Display Work Group). This
connection standard offers two different connectors: one with 24 pins
that handles digital video signals only, and one with 29 pins that
handles both digital and analog video.
“EDID”: Extended Display Identification Data –EDID is a data structure
used to communicate video display information, including native
resolution and vertical interval refresh rate requirements, to a source
device. The source device will then output the optimal video format for
the display based on the provided EDID data, ensuring proper video
image quality. This communication takes place over the DDC –
Display Data Channel.
“Ethernet”: A LocalArea Network (LAN) standard officially known as
IEEE 802.3. Ethernet and other LAN technologies are used for
interconnecting computers, printers, workstations, terminals, servers,
etc. within the same building or campus. Ethernet operates over
twisted pair and over coaxial cable at speeds starting at 10Mbps. For
LAN interconnectivity, Ethernet is physical link and data link protocol
reflecting the two lowest layers of the OSI Reference Model.
“Frame”: In interlaced video, a frame is one complete picture. A video
frame is made up of two fields, or two sets of interlaced lines. In a film,
a frame is one still picture of a series that makes up a motion picture.
