A clean room with positive air pressure to keep dust particles

away. Floor must be able to support approximately 420 Kg,

930 lbs. Optional FDGR grain reducer and ventilation unit

require 6 units of rack space.

Entry:

Complete unit dimensions are width 1160mm, depth 835mm, height

1900 mm. In inches: width 45 11/16", depth 32 7/8", height

74 13/16".

If doors are not 32 7/8" wide, the control panel can be removed,

making the depth 670mm, 26 3/8" inches. To remove the control

panel: the lower right panel must be removed first. The rear

control panel connectors are disconnected. Remove the Control

Panels and blank panels. Remove the screws holding the control

panel at the base and rear wall in the panel tub.

Power:

One 30 amp circuit breaker for FDL (120V single phase). One

20 amp circuit for optional grain reducer (3 amps) and color

corrector. An additional utility outlet should be provided.

The FDL may be powered by a 30 amp standard 3 prong plug. A 30

amp 120 volt twist lock power connector is recommend for safer

operation.

The FDL power input is on a terminal strip. Strip label

designations, two terminals for each: N for neutral, L for load

hot and PE for power earth. Use both lug connections by pig

tailing the power cord wire.

PE and TE, technical earth must be tied together at the

terminal lugs at the center rear of the telecine. Unless

facility has separate power and technical ground system.

For clean ground, a separate large ground wire should be run

from the TE ground lug to house technical ground.

Temperature:

Room temperature should not be more than 73 deg. Fahrenheit

(24 C). Relative humidity kept between 45 to 55% (noncondens-

ing). The FDL draws air in at the base and exhausts heat thru a

vent on top. The A/C must be able to handle 2KVA or an exhaust

system must be installed to vent exhaust heat.

Over Temperature Closure:

On the power input strip are two terminals labels "F". These

are the overheat-fire closure. It can be wired to sound an

alarm or turn off the FDL.

Cabling:

All cables enter thru bottom rear.

Lighting:

There should be proper lighting in the room. Incandescent

spotlights on dimmers are useful for operation. Fluorescent

lights for servicing both front and rear of the FDL.

LIST OF INPUT AND OUTPUT CONNECTIONS.

INPUTS:
 
 

Loop thru Video Reference for genlocking to color black or other

Reference signal.

Two External Audio Inputs. Normally Segmag, reel to reel or

audio mixer outputs. Inputs are on male XLR connectors.

External Audio test input. (Normally not used. FDL has an

internal tone generator. Unit can be jumpered for external tone

input.)

A Four Wire Intercom connector. On a 15 pin "D" connector. Can

be wired for Two Wire intercom by paralleling Mic. Out and

Intercom In on the connector. See FDL manual for details.

OUTPUTS:

Video Outputs:

Four CCVS, Composite Color Video Signals

Two CCVS with Time Code burned into the picture. Characters can

be sized and positioned on Video inserter card. With option TC

reader this display can show foot and frame also.

One set of RGB output signals, non-composite.

Monitor output. Follows R,G,B,CCVS Testpoint selector.

Scope video output. Follows scope Testpoint selector. This

output normally is wired to scope in color corrector console.

SYNC OUTPUTS:
 
 

Scope Sync Signal. For Scope Video Out.

Scope Staircase. For Scope Video Out.

Sync Out. For RGB monitor, FDGR Noise Reducer and can be looped

to other equipment as needed.

Sepmag connector. For separate magnetic sound follower and

Lexicon audio pitch devices. Output is on 9 pin "D" connector.

Outputs are: 240 HZ 0 and 90 deg. pulses, These are +5v TTL

signal that requires an external pull-up voltage. In some cases

a optical coupler may be needed between the FDL and the sound

follower. If you find counting errors on the color corrector

when the sound follower is connected, an optical coupler is

needed. This is usually because of ground noise spikes.

Magnatech followers use the 0 and 90 pulse.
 
 

Pin:

1 = 240HZ 0 degrees 3 = Lock In, Servo locked.

5 = 240hz 90 degrees 7 = Ground

9 = + 5V power

For 100% accurate BiPhase a after market shaft encoder can be installed.

External 2 is use for color corrector timing.

10 = 24HZ Socket Pulse On older FDLs this is on pin 4 of Sepmag

15 = Ground. power

21 = +5v Power

19 = Fwd/Rev pulse On older FDLs this is on pin 2 of Sepmag

16 = Reset ext. TC Gen out.

17 = FRID 2/3 ID On older FDLs this is on Pan Control PIN 13

18 = " Ground or a BCN

11 = FRI 2V ID out This is on Pan Control on older FDL60

12 = " Ground "

1 Pan ground "

2 Pan volts "

3 Pan Ref. volts "
 
 

6Hz Color Frame and IR out:

In and out on BNCs. For Color Field ID. Used for A/B roll change- over timing. See manual for details.

Audio Program Channel One out. Output follows control panel

selector switch. Outputs are on female XLR.

Audio Channel two out. Same as Channel one.

Time Code:

Nondrop SMPTE time code out is provided. This can be

reset and preset on the film timer key pad. Foot and frames

(selectable to frames) are in user bits (resetable only). Output

is on female 3 Pin Din connector. Ground pin 1, output on pins 2

and 3.
 
 

Remote Connectors:

Transport Rem1 and Rem2, 9 pin D, serial control.

Power Remote, for above PHILIPS remote Control Panels.(+15v, +8.5, -15V).

Telecine 1/2, for A/B roll of two FDLs. Also some parallel remote

control. Play, stop and play rev. Pin: 5 Play Fwd 6 10 Play Rev. 3 & 16 Ground TE All commands are momentary closures to ground.

Video/Audio remote, 50 pin D, for Gain, Gamma, Blk, Audio Levels,

Contours.... and Control Panel switch modes.

Color Corr. 25 Pin D, for remote of Joy Sticks and Chroma Boost.

Neg Matching, 25 pin D for neg pots.

Ext1 for Color Corrector control of Video.

Test Selector, for parallel remote Test Ponit selector control Panel.

Momentary closures on 50 pin D connector. Not on older FDLs.

Grain Reducer FDGR:

The FGDR interconnects via a large ribbon cable. The control panel in

the FDL connects to the 25 pin D local control. The FDGR also needs

sync from the the FDL 60 BNC sync out. A ventilation unit (TVU175) above the FDGR is required for cooling.
