1. COMPOSITE TO PARALLEL CONVERTER (CD10 Rev.2)
The CD10 Rev.2 converter board has an automatic input level adjustment and the different decoder
operation as Composite & Y/C mode selection, Comb filter ON / OFF... are controlled by an 8 DIP
switch.
People using those converters boards into EVS products ( CDC10 or CDC11 ) must take care of what
follows.
To offer high performance and to provide a perfect Composite Video Signal on the output of the DC10 or
DC11 boards, it is important that the incoming composite signal (source ) is fully conform to PAL/NTSC
standard.
Notably, the burst must have an amplitude of 300 +/- 9 mV and a duration of 2,25 +/- 0,23 µs ( 10 +/- 1
cycle ), and the amplitude of the line synchronising pulse must be 300 +/- 9 mV with a duration of 4,7 +/-
0,10 µs.
If those features are not respected, the outcoming composite signal would have wrong Chrominance
and Luminance levels.
1. VIDEO INPUTS
- Selection between standard composite input (Y+C+Sync on one signal) or S-VHS compatible input
(Y+Sync on one signal and C on an other signal) by dip switch 8.
- CVBS/ SVHS Y input: loop through input (2 X BNC).

- Secondary 4 pins Mini DIN connector (SVHS standard) for Y/C input.
- Video standard (PAL/NTSC/SECAM) automatic selection.
- Provision to accommodate unstable video signal from VCR and VCR flutter compensation

- 2-line NTSC combfilter/ 4-line PAL combfilter to give very wide Y bandwidth (5 MHz ± 0.3 dB) and very
high subcarrier rejection (>40 dB). If required, the combfilter can be disable using DIP switch 7.
- Full 8-bit digital processing at 27MHz to give high quality and for very high time stability (all processing
are made in digital including color decoding).
2. PARALLEL 422 OUTPUT
- 25 pin D-connector.
- According to CCIR Rec. 656.
- 8/10 bit compatible output (8-bit significant, 2 LSB bit forced to level "00".

2. COMPOSITE TO PARALLEL CONVERTER ( CD10 Rev.3 )
The CD10 Rev.3 converter board has an automatic input level adjustment and the different decoder
operation as Composite & Y/C mode selection, Comb filter ON / OFF... are controlled by an 7-segment
display and 3 push buttons.
This automatic input level adjustment can be disable by the user and, in this case, the chrominance
level adjustment will be made by using the 7-segment display and the 3 push buttons, and the
luminance level adjustment by tuning a trim pot.
The automatic input level adjustment allows to be not dependant on the incoming signal level variations.
However, if it is enable, you must take care of what follows.
To offer high performance and to provide a perfect Composite Video Signal on the output of the DC10 or
DC11 boards, it is important that the incoming composite signal (source ) is fully conform to PAL/NTSC

4. PARALLEL TO COMPOSITE CONVERTER ( DC10 )
1. INTRODUCTION
- The P2C board receives a parallel 422 input signal and encode this signal in a composite (PAL/NTSC)
video signal.
- The board include a 1H time base corrector to remove jitter and phase noise from the incoming digital
video input.
- The composite video output is locked on the provided reference signal (genlock input signal). The
horizontal and subcarrier phase are fully adjustable (-7/+12 µS for H and 360° for SC).
- The 422 digital video input signal do not need to have a very precise phase with respect to the
composite output phase requested. The 422 digital video input signal just need to be from 2 µS to 65
µS in advance on the composite output phase requested.
- The board delivers one video composite output (Y+C+S) and one S-VHS compatible Y/C output
(Y+S/C).
- All video processing including composite encoding are made in digital to give high performance and to
get a time invariant operation. The final conversion to analogue is made through 3 high performance 10-
bit D/A converters using 27 MHz oversampling technic to get perfect frequency response.
2. PARALLEL 422 INPUT
- 25 pin D-connector.
- According to CCIR Rec. 656.

6. SERIAL DIGITAL TO COMPOSITE CONVERTER ( DC12 )
0. INTRODUCTION
- The P2C board receives serial 422 input signal and encodes this signal in a composite (PAL/NTSC)
video signal.
- The board includes a 1H Time Base Corrector to remove jitter and phase noise from the incoming
digital
video input.
-When genlock mode is enabled, the composite video output is locked on the provided reference signal
(genlock input signal). The horizontal and subcarrier phase are fully adjustable (-7/+12 µS for H and
360° for SC). In this mode, the serial digital video input signal does not need to have a very precise
phase with respect to the composite output phase requested. The serial digital video input signal only
needs to be from 3 µS to 66 µS in advance on the composite output phase requested.
-When genlock is disabled, the composite video output is locked on the serial digital video input signal
and a delay of +/- 7 µS is introduced by the encoding process.
- The board delivers two video composite outputs (Y+C+S) and optionally Y/C, YUV and RGB outputs .
- All video processing including composite encoding are made in digital to give high performance and to
get a time invariant operation. The final conversion to analogue is made through high performance 10-
bit D/A converters using 27 MHz oversampling technic to get perfect frequency response.
1. CONNECTIONS
Connect the incoming SDI signal to the "Serial IN" BNC connector. The next connector ("Serial OUT")
is a reclocked loop-through of the input. Connect a video reference (CB/BB) to the "REF" BNC
connector. When the DC12 is used with a EVS Disk Recorder, the video reference must be the same
for both. The PAL/NTSC output signal is available on the "CVBS OUT1" connector. The remaining
BNC connector ("OUT2/LOOP") can be configured as a second PAL/NTSC output or as a loop-through
for the video reference (see block diagram below for jumper's configuration)
2. SERIAL DIGITAL INPUT WITH LOOP
- One BNC for input, one BNC for loop.
- Input impedance: 75
..- Active loop through with reclocking.
- Automatic cable equalization.
- 270 Mb/s serial input CCIR-601 compatible 525/625.
- 8/10 bit compatible input (10-bit significant)
- Serial 422 input available as an option.

- Optional piggy-back board for Y/C, YUV and RGB outputs.
5. SYNCHRONIZATION
- Video outputs are locked on the genlock video input signal sent to the board or locked on the serial
input signal (user selectable).
- Horizontal phase (video + sync phase) of the video output signal can be adjusted relatively to the
genlock input signal received: -7 µS to +12 µS per 2 nS step.
- Subcarrier phase of the video output signal, can be adjusted relatively to the genlock input signal
received: ± 180° per 0.3° step.
- 422 digital input signal can have any phase relatively to the genlock reference signal but to get correct
vertical phase the serial digital input signal must be from 3 µS to 66 µS in advance on the composite
output phase requested.
-When genlock is disabled, the composite video output is locked on the serial digital video input signal
and a delay of +/- 7 µS is introduced by the encoding process.
