LED Indication
There are two LEDs on this VIC. The LED on the right side of the board glows
when Composite Video is selected and the LED on the left glows when S-Video
is selected. Only one LED can light at one time.
IIC Interface
The Quad Standard Decoder VIC is controlled by the serial bus interface. The
IIC bus comes from the System Controller Board through the Backplane Board.
All required adjustments for this board are provided via the IIC serial bus
interface. The information transferred over the IIC bus is indicated below (I =
input to YPbPr_VIC, and O = output of YPbPr_VIC). The selection of this VIC is
accomplished through the IIC control bus which provides the /SEL_VIC signal.

Quad Standard Decoder VIC I/O
This section provides a description of the inputs to and outputs from the Quad
Standard Decoder VIC. The I/O descriptions are arranged by the
source/destination of the signal. The format used is such that the assembly
communicated with is used as the primary heading of each group of signals.
Those signals are further subdivided into inputs and outputs. Input refers to an
Input to the VIC, output refers to an output from the VIC.

2.3.4  Video Processor PCB
The Video Processor Board (VPB) is the bottom-most card (see Figure 5-1) in
the card cage. It is connected directly to the Backplane board through 2
connectors. When an external signal is being received, the VPB provides
Horizontal Sync, Vertical Sync, and Green Sync signals to the Raster Timing
Generator (RTG) board. It also provides three primary color signals, and G2, G1
bias and DC RESTORE control signals to the Video Amplifier Board (VAB).
The following functions are provided by the VPB:
•  Video signal input and multiplexing
•  Sync signal stripping
•  Overlay signal multiplexing
•  Brightness and Contrast control, and DC RESTORE
•  Video signal gamma correction
•  Sensitivity and Threshold signal input and control
•  Automatic limiting for Contrast, G2, and internal video
The Video Processor I/O diagram and the list of inputs and outputs provide
information to allow the technician to perform module-level troubleshooting.

2.3.5   Video Amplifier
The Video Amplifier Board (VAB) is located at the back side of the projector
under the necks of the three CRTs. It contains three separate video amplifiers,
one each for red, green, and blue. The outputs from these video amplifiers
connect directly to the CRTs and provide all electrical connections to the CRTS
except for the anode voltages.
The following functions are provided by VAB:
•  Amplification of video signals and driving the cathode of all three
CRTs
•  Sensing the cathode beam current for all three CRTs
•  G1 regulator for all three CRTs
•  Blanking drive section
•  Phosphor protection for all three CRTs
•  G2 regulator and adjustment of black level (screen) for all CRTs
•  DC restoration for the video signals
•  CRT interface for focus, heater voltage and ARC ground
The Video Amplifier Board I/O diagram (Figure 2-11) and the list of Inputs and
Outputs (Table 2-10) provide information for the technician to perform module
level troubleshooting. 
						

							Chapter 2---System Description
Model 230 Service Manual2-27
G1 Regulator for three CRTs
The input supply for the G1 grid of the CRTs is G1_SUPPLY and is about -200V.
The VAB regulates this supply to about -80V to -30V. This supply can be
adjusted by the G1_BIAS line. This adjustment provides the brightness control
function. The G1_BIAS signal is an input of the VAB and is generated by the
Video Processor Board. In the event of a failure, such as lack of deflection (a
high on the /SWEEP_OK line), this output goes to the most negative value of the
input supply (about -200V).
G2 Regulator and  black level adjustment for CRTs
The VAB also regulates the G2 grid of the CRTs. The supply for the G2 grids
(about 1200V) is generated by the HVPS. This G2_SUPPLY is an input to the
VAB. There are also three control inputs (RED_G2, GRN_G2, and BLU_G2).
The G2 voltage of each CRT is adjusted individually by using these control lines.
This adjustment provides black level control. The G2 output voltages are pulled
down during shutdown mode.

CRT interface for Focus, heater voltages and ARC ground
The three CRT sockets are part of the VAB. They provide the necessary
interface for the input of the three CRTs. The Focus voltage for each color is
connected directly to the socket of each CRT.
The VAB provides ARC grounds for each CRT which are used to protect against
arcing of the CRT anode supply.
IIC Interface
The VAB does not use the IIC interface. All adjustments are accomplished by the
control lines coming from the Video Processor Board.
The Video Amplifier Board I/O
This section provides a description of the inputs to and outputs from the VAB.
The I/O descriptions are arranged by the source/destination of the signal. The
assembly communicated with is used as the primary heading of each group of
