680 Series Video Distribution Amplifiers Installation and Operation Manual 25
Chapter 6: VPD-683-CLP Programmable Video Distribution Amplifier Modules
Configuration
1. Set the input coupling for either AC or DC coupling on Jumpers J1 and J2
(see Figure 6-3).
2. Set the clamping mode on Jumper J3 to either Soft Clamp, Hard Clamp, or
No Clamp (see Figure 6-3).

3. A multi-turn potentiometer, R5 on the base module, allows for adjustments
to the gain over a range of –3 dB to +3 dB. This gain is increased when this
potentiometer is adjusted clockwise (see Figure 6-4 on page 26).
4. Another multi-turn potentiometer, R6 on the base module, allows for
adjustments to the equalization. It is adjusted clockwise to obtain more
equalization (see Figure 6-4 on page 26).
5. A single-turn potentiometer, R21 on the base module, allows for fine
adjustments to the high frequency response. It has been factory-set/
calibrated; readjusting is not recommended without precise test equipment
(see Figure 6-4 on page 26).
6. The Hard Clip level can be adjusted with the multi-turn potentiometer, R4,
located on the VPD-683-CLP submodule (see Figure 6-4 on page 26).
7. The Luminance Clip level can be adjusted with the multi-turn
potentiometer, R13, located on the card edge of the submodule card (see
Figure 6-4 on page 26).
