Once you have connected the DV5000 as described above, you must be certain
that the inputs are being fed appropriate signals and are not suffering from signal
loss due to cabling problems or problems with the source device.
If your connections are all proper, press the power button on the front of the
DV5000.
5.1 Default Condition and Selecting Inputs
When you first apply power to the DV5000, the unit is in the Decode Mode,
meaning it is expecting a DV input. If you want to encode Analog Video to the DV
format, press the front panel button labeled ‘D/A Switch’ once. This action will
force the unit to perform an auto-detect on the analog inputs. The checking for
valid inputs is done in the following order: Composite Video, S-Video and YCbCr.
(You can also step through the various input types by pressing the ‘DA Switch’
to force a selection after the auto-detect function has run. Doing so will
sequentially step through DV, CV, S-V and YCbCr.)
Note: If you intend to use only the auto-detect function, you’ll need to remove the
sources you do not want that are upstream of the one you do want. For example,
if you want to encode S-Video into DV video, you would remove the Composite
Video source from the input making the S-Video signal the first valid signal
detected by the DV5000.
5.2 DIP Switch Settings
On the rear on the unit, you’ll find four active DIP Switches. The selections are:
SW1: OFF = Auto-Detect Off, Default NTSC, ON = Auto-Detect NTSC or PAL
SW2 + SW3: PC Operating System
