Introduction 
TheDatavideoDAC15isabidirectionaldigitaltoanalogA/Vconverter.Ithasmanyadvancedfeatures
includingRS422playercontrolviaDVNLEsystems.TheDAC15hasabuiltinvideoprocessorwithColor,
Contrast,BrightnessandTint(TintNTSConly)adjustments.AnotherusefulfeatureisSMARTDVwhichwill
allowtheDAC15andasecondDVdevicetobeconnectedtoanNLEsystemsimultaneously.
Functions
TheDAC15canconvertananalogvideosignal(Composite,SVideo(Y/C)orComponent),andan
unbalancedstereoaudiosignaltoaDVsignal,orviceversa.Thebuiltinvideoprocessorenablesyoutofine
tunethevideoinputtogetthebestpossiblepicturequality.Youcanalsosettheaudiolevelsforoptimum
performance.

TheselectedInputwillbeilluminatedred.
SelectbetweenDVInput(viaIEEE1394Port),YUVComponentInput,
SVideo(Y/C)InputorCompositeVideo(CV)Input.Seebelowfor

AnalogAudiocanbeencodedas12Bit/32KHzor16Bit/48KHz.
12Bit/32KHzisrecommendedformostDVDecks/Camcorders.
16Bit/48KHzisrecommendedforDVDandNLEDVCapture.
N.B.The16BitButt onhasasecondaryfunction,itcanbeusedtoset
theDAC15togenerateaColorBarOutput .SettheDAC15toDV
Inputandpressthe16Bitbutton,aColorBarOutputwillbegenerated
inYUV,SVideo(Y/C) andCompositeVideo.Toreturntonormal
outputpressthe16Bitbuttonagain.
