Monitoring Video Pictures in Different Formats and Standards

Joost Verbrugge

Monitoring video pictures has become more critical with the use of different standards and formats in the same video facility. Composite, analog component, and digital video signals each have standards and deviations from these standards. After reviewing critical issues such as signal amplitudes and use of black-level setup, an input module that converts any component format to RGB is introduced. This module, combined with composite decoders and digital input modules, allows a picture monitor to reproduce all existing standards with correct black level and luminance levels.
