circuitry to this external reference).
The input reference can conform to any of these standards:
SMPTE 170M, SMPTE 318M, ITU 624-2, BUT 470-6, or composite sync.
The front card-edge of the Controller module has several controls, some accessible only when the front panel is
removed. Figure 4.4.1.4 shows the location of the controls on the front edge of the Controller module.
ON/OFF pushbutton: turns the unit on and off (the power supplies in the rear of the unit remain ON).
Power ON LED: this bi-color LED reports the general status of the unit and monitors the power supplies.
When off, both power supplies are switched off or not plugged in.
