RGB-CV10
ADAPTER MODULE
Overview:
Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America, Inc. (MDEA) was the first company to begin shipping HDTV systems in
the US. These systems consisted of the HD-1080 HDTV Receiver, a digital off-air receiver/decoder, and
seven HD-Upgradeable rear projection TVs. Being first, there were no standards to follow for the electrical
connections between HDTV Receivers and HD-Upgradeable TVs. MDEA chose to use two different
connections, one for picture and the other to link the microprocessor in the HDTV receiver to the
microprocessor in the TV. As other manufacturers of HDTV Receivers and HD-Upgradeable TVs entered the
market, another form of connections became a de facto standard. MDEA has since endorsed this new
standard and now manufactures HDTV Receivers and HD-Upgradeable TVs that meet this standard. MDEA
developed the RGB-CV10 Adapter Module to provide our first generation HD-Upgradeable TV customers with
the ability to connect to these newer HDTV Receivers.
Product Description:
The RGB-CV10 is designed to convert the high definition component video signals from the Mitsubishi SR-
HD400 and SR-HD500 HDTV receivers into RGB signals with separate horizontal and vertical synchronization
signals that are required by selected Mitsubishi TVs. This Adapter Module can also be used with some other
HDTV receivers from other manufacturers to connect to the same Mitsubishi TVs. Those other HDTV receivers
must provide a compatible HD signal as shown below:
Compatible TVs:
The Mitsubishi TVs that this Adapter Module is designed to be used with are:
• VS-50800 • VS-70803 • WS-65903
• VS-50803 • VS-80803 • WS-73903
• VS-60803
This Adapter Module cannot be used with TVs from other manufacturers.
Compatible HD signal types:
This Adapter Module is compatible with only one type of signal – HD component video. Be sure to verify the
type of signal your HDTV receiver sends. The type of signal sent by the HDTV receiver must match the
following specifications:
• Component Video signals marked as Y, Pb, Pr
• Scanning rate of 1080i, 60Hz
• EIA-770.3 Standard Levels and Timing
Non-compatible signal types:
The following types of signals are available from some HDTV receivers, however they are not compatible with
this Adapter Module. Be sure to check the type of signal provided by the HDTV receiver. If your HDTV
receiver is capable of sending more than one type of HDTV signal, make sure you set the receiver to send the
compatible signal. The following signals are not compatible with this Adapter Module and should not be
used:
• RGB with synchronization on green
• RGB with separate horizontal and vertical synchronization signals
• Scanning rates of 720p, 480p, 480i and 1080p
