Using it along with a color d isplay screen, Ouadcolor I greatly enhances the graphics capabilities of your Personal Computer. Among the advantages of Ouadcolor r is the fact that it is hardware and software compatible with the PC. With most other color graphic cards you must first install special software into the system before using any of the card's features. But Ouadcolor I works with the software already in the PC. Additionally, Ouadcolor I offers twice the memory found on IBM's color graphics card: 32K of RAM. This lets you store two complete pages of data in graphics mode and up to 16 pages in text mode. You can also create the affect of animation by using a simple BASIC command to instantly swap visual pages. Another advantage Quadcolor I offers is that it allows for the use of two true colors in high Check to make sure that the board has not been resolution mode.

The module information in this data pack is organized into the following sections: • Module Overview • Applications • Installation • Cabling • Module Configuration and Control ° Front Panel Controls and Indicators ° Avenue PC Remote Control ° Avenue Touch Screen Remote Control • Troubleshooting • Software Updating • Warranty and Factory Service • Specifications 5280-1 Model 5280 Video DAC MODULE OVERVIEW The 5280 module converts serial digital component video into composite analog video. Six separate composite or two Y/C (S-video) analog video outputs are available. The following analog formats are supported: • NTSC Composite with or without setup • PAL Composite A serial output BNC is provided for applications requiring the serial digital input signal to loop-through to another device. Output timing can be adjusted relative to a reference input signal by installing the 5210 Genlock Option, a submodule that plugs onto the 5280 circuit board. Incorporating a full- frame synchronizer, the 5210 also allows the 5280 to accept serial inputs that are asyn- chronous to the reference. As shown in the block diagram on the following page, the serial digital input signal first passes through serial receiver circuitry then on to EDH processing and deserializing. The serial output signal goes to a cable driver and is then AC coupled to a loop-through output BNC on the backplane.
