7B53A/7B53AN OPTION 5
CIRCUIT
DESCRIPTION
A
composite
video signal from 0.1 volt peak to
peak to 4
volts
peak
to peak must be supplied to P900 (COMPOSITE
VIDEO IN) connector to
obtain the
required triggers from
the
main
frame instrument. From
TP900 the composite
video
signal passes through a clipping
circuit composed of
emitter
follower Q904, clipping amplifier Q90.8 and associ
ated
circuitry. The
clipping circuit, whose clipping level is
set by
R914 (CLIPPING LEVEL), clips only the video from
the
composite
video signal.
From
the clipping circuit the
remaining pulses of the
composite
video signal are amplified by Q920. The negative
(line or horizontal sync) pulses
present at the collector of
Q920
pass through
CR921
and
C920 to P902 and P903.
When
the Main Triggering Amplifier SOURCE switch is set
to TV
LINE, the
negative (line or horizontal sync) pulses
are
available in main
trigger or
delayed
trigger.
The positive
(field
or
vertical sync)
pulses present at the
collector
,of
Q920 cannot pass through
CR921; however,
they
and
the negative (line or horizontal sync) pulses will
pass through CR918 to the base of Q924. The
negative
pulses
will pass through
CR918 since, during the greater
percentage
of their duty cycle, the line
or horizontal sync
pulses
are positive and will
appear
to CR918
as positive
pulses.
The
line
or
horizontal sync pulses are kept from getting
through
Q924 by the RC
network of C926 and R926.
During
the line or horizontal sync
pulse time, Q924 is kept
cut off
by the
bias provided by C926. The charge across
C926 is kept
high by
the high repetition rate of the line or
horizontal sync pulses.
During
the
field
or
vertical sync pulse interval, C926
biases
Q924 to cutoff only part of the
time due to the
relatively low
repetition rate of the field or vertical sync
pulses.
The
time
that
Q924 is allowed to conduct is such
that
every
other
field
or
vertical sync pulse will be
amplified
by
Q924. The negative field
or vertical trigger
pulses present
at the
collector of Q924 are supplied through
emitter
follower Q932
and C932 to P901 (FIELD
RATE)
connector
and to
the TV FIELD pushbutton. The field or
vertical
trigger pulse group are available constantly at P901
for
the Main
Triggering
Amplifier only.
C924, located
in the collector circuit of
Q924 and the
base
circuit
of Q932,
serves to filter out any line or
horizontal sync pulses
which
may still be present. CR932
sets
the bias
on Q932.
