OVERVIEW
The Video Sync Sensor (VSS2) is equipped with two independent signal detection channels. When a signal is present, each detection channel initiates a logic-level output, and dual video jacks for each channel allow loop-through operation. The VSS2 is an ideal power sensor for DVDs and other video sources, or to provide a warning on loss of audio, video or RGB signal.

COMMON APPLICATION
Use the VSS2 to monitor the true power status of a VCR, tuner or satellite receiver and track the video output of each source, sending a logic signal to an input port. The output can also be used to control other AMX closure-driven peripherals, such as the PC1 Power Controller.

FEATURES

  • Detects presence of signal from 1 kHz to greater than 100 kHz
  • 2 independent video sync sensing channels
  • 2 RCA jacks for each channel to allow loop-through operation
  • 2 solid-state outputs that send a logic low signal when sync is present
  • Front-panel LEDs that display on/off status for each channel
  • Compatible with all AMX solid-state and closure input ports
  • Detection of audio, video, and high-resolution RGB signals
