Entrée (French for input) is a Component to RGB colorspace converter and Luma Processor with the following features:
- Decodes SD/HD Component (YPbPr) to 1V RGBY outputs.
- Y signal is normalized to the processor input which features an attenuverter (contrast) and offset (brightness), plugging a jack in the processor input will break the normalisation to allow the processing of another signal.
- Y pass-through RCA at the rear of the module to sync the sync generator/encoder to the external video signal.
It is an update of VU003B with a couple improvements:
- Low noise switching power supply
- Active attenuverter in the processor part
- 75R output impedance on the 1V output jacks to increase the bandwidth, resulting in a sharper picture in HD formats.
- 0-700mV Y, Pb, Pr, 75ohm
- 0-1V Processor In, 100kohm
- 0-1V R, G, B, Y, Processor Out, 75 ohm
- 0-700mV Sync Out (rear), 75 ohm
- Width: 8hp
- Depth: 45mm
- Power: +12v 90mA / -12v 0mA
Some of those improvements can be applied to VU003B (both DIY and production versions), the modifications are detailed in this document: VU003B_Modif.pdf
The module is powered through standard Eurorack connector or DC barrel.
