Entrée - Component to RGB / Luma Processor

Entrée (pronounced <ɑ̃.tʁe>, 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 normalization 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.

Some of those improvements can be applied to VU003B (both DIY and production versions), the modifications are detailed in this document VU003B_Modif.pdf
Get in touch by email if you'd like to have your VU003B modified.

The module is powered through standard Eurorack connector or DC barrel.
