rVS/VD Input Connector (VS/VD IN)
Accepts either the VD (Vertical Drive) pulse or the VS (Video Sync) signal for synchronizing the system.
Notes:
• This input is looped through to the VS/VD Output Connector.
• When the VD (or VS) signal is supplied to the VS/VD Input Connector, turn the VD/VS selection switch (SW4) on the cir-
cuit board to the VD (or VS) position. The factory default setting of the VD/VS selection switch (SW4) is VS.  Ask quali-
fied service personnel about setting up this switch.
• The external sync signal should meet EIA RS-170 specifications and should not contain any jitters, such as a VCR
playback signal.
tVS/VD Output Connector (VS/VD OUT)
Outputs either the VD (Vertical Drive) pulse or the VS (Video Sync) signal for synchronizing other system components.
Note:The input at the VS/VD Input connector is looped through to this output.  These inputs and outputs are connected
internally.
yVD Output Connector (VD OUT)
Outputs VD (Vertical Drive) pulses for synchronizing other system components.
Notes:
• The internal VD pulse or the loop-through external VD pulse is provided at this connector.
• When the VS signal is supplied to the VS/VD Input Connector, the VD output signal from the VD Output Connector
will be delayed by approximately 15 µs with respect to the V-sync of the VS input signal.
By changing the position of jumper connector (CN14) on the board, this connector can be used for displaying the system
status on the monitor screen. (Set Up Menu is displayed during setup mode.)

External Timing Input Connector (EXT TIMING IN)
Recover Input Connector (RECOVER IN)
ALARM OUT:When the Matrix Switcher receives an alarm from the WV-PB5564 Alarm
Board or camera site receivers WV-RC100 or WV-RC150, the alarm output signal is
provided at this connector for the Time Lapse VCR. 
The active pin number of the alarm output depends on the alarm mode set by the
on-screen program (Mode-1, Mode-2, Mode-3).
RESET OUT:When the Matrix Switcher resets the activated alarm, the alarm reset out-
put signal, either Open Collector or pulse, is provided at this connector for the
Time Lapse VCR.
EXT TIMING IN:The camera switching interval (Sequential Dwell Time) can be syn-
chronized with the lapse mode set on the Time Lapse VCR.
EXT. TIMING IN 1 controls Monitor 1 output, EXT. TIMING IN 2 controls Monitor 2
output, etc.
Supply the camera switching pulse from the Time Lapse VCR to this connector.
Minimum duration for camera switching pulse needs to be one (1) second or more.
RECOVER IN:This connector accepts the alarm recover signal from the Time Lapse
VCR.

							3. Set switches (SW100/SW150/SW200/SW250) on the
board to meet the character display requirement on the
monitor screen.
The factory default setting is normal (NOR).
NOR:White with Black border
REV:Black with White border
4. Confirm that switches (SW6) on the board are set as
follows.2. Set switches (SW2/SW3/SW4/SW5) on the board to
meet the alarm reset output requirement as either Open
Collector (OPEN C.) or Pulse (VTR).
The factory default setting is Pulse (VTR).
Open Collector (OPEN C.):16 V DC 100 mA max.
Pulse (VTR):+5 V DC approx. 500 ms
Note:Be careful when setting these switches as the
switches are not physically located on the board in
numerical order.
Switch location from the top of the board, going
downward, is: SW4 (reset out 3), SW5 (reset out 4),
SW3 (reset out 2) and SW2 (reset out 1).
