 Hi, welcome to Retro Tech today. I've got a great demonstration set up. I've got four Sony pvm 2030s now these four pvm 2030s are actually going to go In a couple days be shipped to the Philadelphia Museum of Art as part of their AV tech Department, but today I've got them all set up on a loop and I've actually got a very high-end Sony VCR here hooked up with a brand new VHS tape that I Purchased and this will be the first time it was opened and will be played and I just want to show you how awesome these things are when you set them up in a loop like this and So let's go ahead and show you what the loop looks like on the back of the monitor I wanted to take it show you a quick look at this VCR You said this is very high-end it came off of a medical device. It's a Sony With a digital comb filter it actually has multiple ends and outs. It does have SVHS so it does have S video out. I'm not convinced that that makes the picture quality any better on a regular VHS But look for a future episode dedicated just to this VCR Please notice that there are some of them do have a power outlet in the back now two of them the power outlets were Disabled because they were used in medical devices and they weren't allowed to use it so they're not actually working and The other two they are so but if you can see that you could if they were all hooked up You could hook everything in a loop even on one power I basically had to hook up two of the TVs to get it set up But then I've got just a B and C cable for the composite loop coming out of every single tube output into the next input and It follows from the VCR down and I don't have any sound hooked up today for this demonstration When you have your BNCs hooked up on this monitor You do need to make sure that the 75 ohm Resistor switches are all turned off if you're going out if you're doing a daisy Chain out of a monitor you have to turn that 75 ohm resistor off and then the very last last monitor in your loop Make sure it's on the 75 ohm, so I've got all of them turned off This is the last one in the loop and it's selected to on Let's go back to the front of the monitor now Get set up PVMs are set up in standby mode Which just means they've had their power button turned on and I've actually used this remote Which goes to this particular monitor to turn them all off now the great thing about this remote is It will control all these monitors simultaneously when they're this close to each other So the first thing I want to do is just hit the power on and You can see simultaneously all four monitors power on The VCR is ready hooked up and there we go. We're starting to get some colors. They'll all come into color differently. There we go So now we've got and this is a copy of this wonderful thing here that were just opened I Bought it on eBay. I was told it was SVHS copy, but it's not it's just Standard So I was a little disappointed, but it's so cheap. I figured who cares. I'll just still use it for this demo Okay. All right, so just to show you a little commentary. I just kind of wanted to show how This will probably be the way that the museum uses these is to just play old films and Other old media You can kind of see here VHS quality isn't that great, but it still looks pretty good on this and There's a lot of comb and filter and smearing and other stuff noise going on But that's more or less used just because of that VCR and VHS tape. So even the best VCR and a new copy of a VHS tape Doesn't doesn't help too much So let's go ahead and fast forward Maybe we can see if we can catch something cool here. This is a great VCR or just as a cool skip feature Let's go through some fast forward scenes Anyway, there you have it. I think you get the idea if you want to do a loop. It's pretty fun Thanks for watching Retro Tech. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments Please also like share and subscribe
