[QuadList] GRASS VALLEY GROUP 3240 proc amp manual needd andinfo on how ...

[Don Norwood]

Ed:

Chris can advise you on this for sure, but I don't believe there is any way that the 3240 will work with a 1/2" deck.  They were made for stable sources as far as timing is concerned. 

The proc amps that we talked about before were made specifically for helical machines and are different creatures.  Probably the most common were several models made by 3M (Mincom), the P-50 and the P-100.  The P-50 was the simpler of the two and was also later sold by Pesa.  The P-100 was modular and so could be configured as a Proc Amp, a DOC or both, with or without AGC and pulse outputs among other options.

    The quick answer is that you have three different versions that were designed for three different types of installations.

    I will get my books out and look for the exact information but here is the short answer.

    The basic unit is used for any type of situation where a proc amp is used.

    The one with the external reference is for use in a production / editing room on the output of a switcher to provide a constant sub-carrier to horizontal sync phase relationship.

    The one with the linearity corrector is designed for use at a transmitter to correct any linearity errors in the transmitter.  

    What is the application that you intend for the unit?

    There were also several different types of frames.  So how about a picture of the back and the modules when you get down to deciding what you want to do.

      OK Chris here is what it  is...   I was able to get to 3  of the rack units...

      al thee quick glance  have color lock and synch gen input module and output module

      ok one adds external references and something in the other power supply slot.

      the  third has  a linearity corrector and agc plus i think most of the other  boards of the first one.

          There are many variations on the theme.  The 3240 is modular system that had a number of options available.  Tell us what boards are in what slots.  I can fill you in on how to make it work.  I  was a GVG sales support engineer for a number of years and am familiar with the product.  I also used them in a number of post suites.  So which modules have you got, etc.
