Faroudja System LD100 digital scan converter

is a precision video instrument used to convert

NTSC Composite, Y/C, or 525 line RGB or

Component interlaced signals into 525 line progressive outputs. Using the LD100 digital scan converter

will produce pictures with more details, remove

unwanted picture artifacts and, when used with projection systems, produce pictures of exceptional

quality, giving a “cinema-like” feeling.

Front panel features include Power, Input Select

(Video, Y/C, RGB and Component), Brightness,

Contrast, Color, Auto-Tint, Noise Reduction, Detail,

AGC and Freeze. Input switch settings are memorized when the power is removed from the unit. This

allows the LD100 to be interfaced into a system

without the need to select the input when the system is powered up. During power up, the AGC

switch is selected in the On mode with the Freeze

switch selected OFF. The remaining controls may be

left in factory preset or manually set by pulling out

and rotating the control until the desired level is

established.

Inputs to the LD100 include: Composite Video, Y/C

(S-VHS), RGB and Component (Y,R-Y,B-Y). The

Video input may be connected by either a BNC connection or a video RCA type connection. These

inputs are looped internally so that the signal may

be used by other devices. A selectable 75 Ohm terminator switch is provided and should be in the ON

position if the input loop is not used. The Y/C input

uses a standard 4 pin S-VHS connector. This input

is not available for a looped operation and is terminated internally. The RGB and Component inputs

use BNC connectors. As with the video input, these

inputs are loopable to other devices. Selectable 75

Ohm terminations are provided. If the looped inputs

are used, these cables should be kept short, (under

6' in length) or a video distribution amplifier should

be used. This allows the LD100 to keep the highest

signal bandwidth possible without having the high

frequency being attenuated in a long cable.

Output from the LD100 is provided on six BNC connectors as well as one 15 pin ‘D’ VGA connector.

The BNC outputs provided are Red, Green, Blue,

Horizontal Sync, Vertical Sync and Composite Sync.

Interface to monitors/projectors can be of a 4 or 5

wire connection. Note: 4 wire, meaning Red, Green,

Blue and Composite Sync or 5 wire, meaning Red,

Green, Blue, Horizontal Sync and Vertical Sync.

There is no sync present on the Green output. The

LD100 is capable of driving a monitor/projector

using the BNC outputs as well as a VGA monitor

using the 15 pin ‘D’ connector, at the same time.

Item ships without cables or remote controler. Only ships within the US.
