Circuit description figure 1 is a block diagram of the ld100 showing signal flow and the location of front panel controls and switches. Composite video and y/c (s-vhs) inputs are connected to the units decoder with agc control and converted to y, r-y and b-y signals. The y, (luminance) output from t...

Ld100 technical highlights – the ld100 is far more than simply a “line doubler”. It is a truly unique product in the world of high performance video. The ld100 is actually a complex image processor that consists of three distinct components – all utilizing patented faroudja technologies and engineer...

7 on two different mechanisms. Horizontal resolution is a function of bandwidth (frequency response) of the circuitry while vertical resolution is a function of the scanning fre- quency (the number of scan lines in each picture). Given these mechanisms and the average size picture tube being 8-10”, ...

Command line the ld100 is programmed by means of a “command line”, which is an ascii string of up to 255 characters that contains one or more individual instructions to the ld100. The command line offers the best compromise between manual opera- tion via a data terminal and automatic control via a c...

Cable lengths and distribution amplifiers to aid in achieving the bet results from your installa- tion, we suggest the following minimum standards for cable runs when an ld100 is used. To preserve the video quality of the ld100, the signal path should be no more than –3db down at 25 mhz through a 75...
