The IDC-3000 converts NTSC video signals into scan-doubled signals.
This scan converter can be used with a multi-synchronous scan monitor or
projectors having a minimum of 31.5 kHz horizontal scanning capability to
provide high-quality images.
The IDC-3000 can be also connected to a document camera, conventional
VCR, video disc player, S-Video recorder, or video camera.
FEATURES
ⅷ Motion adaptive 3-dimensional Y/C separation circuit greatly reduces
cross talk (dot interference/cross color).
ⅷ Motion adaptive 3-dimensional scanning line interpolation circuit pro-
vides a reduction of line flicker and an increase of vertical resolution.
ⅷ Two-mode digital video noise reduction circuit greatly improves the
signal-to-noise ratio of the signal.
ⅷ Forced (non adaptive) still screen mode provides a still image without
erroneous operation of the operation detection circuit. (This is useful
with the images of document cameras, etc.)
ⅷ Equipped with a demonstration split function for processing artificial
interlace and switching off 3-dimensional Y/C separation processing
the right half of the screen.
ⅷ PC-CONTROL connector permits control of a personal computer.

Warnings and Safety Precaution
7. Do not attempt to service or repair the unit. NEC is not liable for any bodily
harm or damage caused if unqualified persons attempt service or open
the cabinet. Refer all service to authorized NEC Service Centers.
The NEC IDC-3000 is designed and manufactured to provide long, trouble-
free service. No maintenance other than cleaning is required. Use a soft cloth
and if necessary, mild detergent. Do not use commercial spray cleaners
which may damage the surface. In case of damage, arrange for repairs at an
authorized NEC Service Center.
To avoid damage and prolong operating life:
1. Use only with 120V 60Hz AC power supply.
For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit, read carefully and
observe the following instructions.
2. Handle the unit carefully when moving and do not drop.
3. Locate set away from heat, excessive dust, and direct sunlight.
To avoid shock and fire hazards:
4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small metal objects. In
case of accident, unplug the unit and have it serviced by an authorized
NEC Service Center.
1. Provide adequate space for ventilation to avoid internal heat build-up. If
you enclose the unit in a cabinet or rack, be sure there is adequate space
at the top of the unit to allow heated air to rise and escape.
5. Unplug unit before cleaning. Use only a soft cloth and mild detergent.
Commercial household sprays and cleaners may damage the cabinet.
2. Do not use the power cord polarized plug with extension cords or outlets
unless the prongs can be completely inserted.
3. Do not expose unit to rain or moisture.
WARNING
4. Avoid damage to the power cord, and do not attempt to modify the power
cord.
Unqualified persons should under no circumstances remove the cabinet of
the unit to make internal adjustments. The warranty is void if the unit is
damaged in this way. Moreover, there is a serious risk of electric shock. If you
have service difficulties, call your dealer.
5. Unplug unit during electrical storms or if unit will not be used over a long
period.
6. Do not open the cabinet which has potentially dangerous high voltage
components inside. If the unit is damaged in this way the warranty will be
void. Moreover, there is a serious risk of electric shock.
Mises en garde et précautions de sécurité
Le IDC-3000 NEC a été conçus et fabriqués pour assurer une longue durée de service
sans problèmes. Aucun entretien à l’exception du nettoyage n’est nécessaire. Utiliser
un chiffon doux et un détergent doux, si nécessaire. Ne pas utiliser des aérosols de
nettoyage du commerce qui risquent d’endommager la surface de cet appareil. Si
l’appareil est endommagé, confier les travaux de réparation à un centre de service
agréé NEC.
7. Ne pas essayer de réparer ou entretenir l’appareil soi-même. NEC ne saura être tenu
pour responsable pour toute blessure ou dommage causé par des personnes non
qualifiées qui essayent de réparer ou d’ouvrir le coffret. Confier toute réparation à
un centre de service agréé NEC.
Pour éviter des dommages et prolonger la durée de service de l’appareil:
1. N’utiliser qu’une source d’alimentation de 120 V 60 Hz CA.
Pour un fonctionnement sûr et afin d’éviter d’endommager l’appareil, lire attentivement
et respecter les instructions suivantes.
2. Manipuler l’appareil avec soin pendant son déplacement et ne pas le faire tomber.
3. Eloigner l’appareil des endroits chauds, très poussiéreux et exposés en plein soleil.
Afin d’éviter tout risque d’électrocution et d’incendie:
1. Réserver un espace libre suffisant pour la ventilation afin d’éviter une accumulation
de chaleur interne. Si l’appareil est logé dans un coffret ou sur une étagère,
s’assurer qu’il y a un espace libre suffisant pour la dissipation de la chaleur.
4. Eviter que des liquides et des petits objets métalliques pénètrent à l’intérieur de
l’appareil. En cas d’accident, débrancher l’appareil et le confier à un centre de
service agréé NEC.
2. Ne pas utiliser la fiche polarisée du cordon d’alimentation avec des prolongateurs
ou des prises de courant, sauf si les lames peuvent être insérées à fond.
5. Débrancher l’appareil avant le nettoyage. Utiliser seulement un chiffon doux et un
détergent doux.
3. Ne pas exposer à la pluie ou à l’humidité.
Des aérosols et produits de nettoyage disponibles dans le commerce risquent
d’endommager le coffret.
4. Eviter d’endommager le cordon d’alimentation, et ne pas modifier le cordon
d'alimentation.
5. Débrancher l’appareil pendant les tempêtes ou si l’appareil n’est pas utilisé pendant
une longue période.
AVERTISSEMENT
Le coffret ne doit pas être enlevé par un personnel non qualifié pour faire les réglages
internes. La garantie devient caduque si l’appareil est endommagé de cette manière.

NOTE: Even though the NTSC indicator may not illuminate for sub-
standard NTSC signals such as poor quality video signals, the split screen
will sitill function. However, the demonstration split mode function has
less effect because the 3-dimensional Y/C separation processing is not
performed unless the NTSC indicator is lit.

RS-422 and RS-232C with the PC-CONTROL
SW on the rear panel.
When using RS-232C, only pins 6,7,8 and 12
are effected. Therefore, nothing should be
connected to pins 1,2,3 and 11. When using
with a projector, set the PC-CONTROL switch
to the 422 position.

• Data Length ........Number of bytes of the data that is transmitted
• Data ....................Data that is transmitted
• Check Sum .........Lower eight digits of sum total of the first byte to the

Command Communication Sequence
When external equipment such as a personal computer gives the command to
the IDC-3000, the IDC-3000 returns an ACK or NAK. So make sure that the
external equipment receives this ACK or NAK.

ACK or NAK
(NAK only when accessing EEPROM)
The IDC-3000 returns an ACK if it has received the command correctly.
If it has not received the command correctly due to data error, it will return a
nothing. Therefore, when the external equipment send a command, make sure
that it received the ACK.
The IDC-3000 returns a NAK only when a WRITE error has occurred during
EEPROM access commands.
