Basic Operation Turning the Power On and Off Once everything is properly connected (p. 8–10), be sure to follow the procedure below to turn on their power. If you turn on equipment in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction or equipment failure. Turning Off the Power Automatically (Auto Off) * Before turning the unit on/off, always be sure to turn the volume down. Even with the volume turned down, you might hear some sound when switching the unit on/off.
Basic Operation Using the Menus This explains how to display menus and make settings for video and audio, and for the V-1HD itself. * The menu is shown on the monitor connected to the PREVIEW connector (p. 9). * Video-switching operations cannot be performed while a menu is displayed. Displaying/exiting menus The V-1HD has three types of menus (SETUP, MEMORY, and AUDIO).
Basic Operation Saving/Recalling Settings (Memory) You can take the current settings, including video and audio settings and the state of the operation panel, and save them as a single set in the V-1HD’s internal memory, for later recall and use when needed. The V-1HD is provided with eight memories. Settings saved in memory What you can save in memory are the MEMORY menu and AUDIO menu settings and the state of the operation panel. Each uses a different method for saving its values in memory.
Video Input/Output Settings Setting the Video Input/Output Format You set the input/output format to match the incoming video signal. * Before setting the input/output format, first be sure to turn off the power to the V-1HD. 1. Slide the [FORMAT] switch on the rear panel to set the input/output format. Adjusting Output Video You can adjust the main output video or preview output video to match the equipment receiving output from the V-1HD.
Video Input/Output Settings Switching the View Mode of Preview Output Inputting Copyright-protected (HDCP) Video Three types of view modes are available for the V-1HD’s preview output. To input copyright-protected (HDCP) video from a Blu-ray Disc player or the like, you make the setting for enabling HDCP input. 1. Press and hold the [(TAP) BPM] button (for 2 * The V-1HD must be connected to an HDCP compatible display for HDCP protected video to be connected.
Video Operations Switching the Video You can switch the video input to bus A and to bus B of the video mixer. Switching Using the A/B Fader You operate the A/B fader to switch between two video feeds. The video on the bus toward which the A/B fader is flipped is output (A/B mode). 1. Use the [A-1] through [A-4] and [B-1] through [B-4] buttons to select the video to input on bus A and bus B. 3. Move the A/B fader to the bus A position or the bus B position.
Video Operations Switching Using the TRANSFORMER Buttons You can switch video using the TRANSFORMER buttons, without using the A/B fader. This section describes the operations, using the factory-default memory number 1 settings as an example. 1. Use the [A-1] through [A-4] and [B-1] through [B-4] buttons to select the video to input on bus A and bus B. Changing the operation of the TRANSFORMER buttons Bus A 1. Press the [MEMORY] button to display the Bus B 2. Use the [ MEMORY menu.
Video Operations Switching in Time with Music (BPM Sync) You can switch video in time with a musical beat. The video is switched automatically, with no operation of the A/B fader or the TRANSFORMER buttons. Setting BPM using a numerical value Setting BPM using a numerical value makes the video switch beat by beat. 1. Use the [A-1] through [A-4] and [B-1] through [B-4] buttons to select the video to input on bus A and bus B.
Video Operations Switching Automatically (Auto Scan) Using a Different Transition Pattern The video on channels 1 through 4 is switched automatically in sequence. A variety of transition patterns are available for mix and wipe transition effects. To use a different pattern, change the transition pattern assigned to the [MIX] or [WIPE] button. MEMO 55 Any channels carrying no video input are skipped. 55 Switching the video manually is not possible while an automatic switch is in progress. 1.
Video Operations Applying a Fade to the Main Output Video (Output Fade) You can apply a fade to the V-1HD’s main output video. This lets you make the main output video fade to a black (or white) picture at times when you want to suppress video output, such as during intervals in a presentation, event or band performance. Applying a fade-out 1. Turn the [OUTPUT FADE] knob all the way clockwise or counterclockwise. Freezing Input Video (Freeze) This temporarily pauses the incoming video.
Video Effect Operations You can apply effects to the main output video. The V-1HD has nine types of built-in filter effects and ten types of built-in compositing effects. Using Filter Effects These apply effects such as changes in video color tone and appearance to the entire video. You can set filter effects separately for the video on bus A and on bus B. Selecting a Filter Effect Applying Filter Effects 1. Press the [MEMORY] button to display the 1. Output the video to which you want to apply 2.
Video Effect Operations Using Compositing Effects These composite the bus A video and the bus B video. * When compositing effects are turned on for either bus A or bus B, no effects can be applied to the other bus. Selecting a Compositing Effect Compositing Using Luminance Key 1. Press the [MEMORY] button to display the This composites video with white or black areas made transparent onto a background video. Using luminance keying lets you superimpose logos or text onto a background picture.
Video Effect Operations Compositing Using Chroma Key Compositing Using Split This composites video shot against a blue or green background against a different background video. This composites two video streams in a split screen. The bus A video is displayed above or on the left, and the bus B video is displayed below or on the right. Blue or green NOTE 55 Chroma-key composition sometimes leaves color or small artifacts at the edges of the extracted video, but this is not a malfunction.
Video Effect Operations Compositing Using Picture-in-Picture This composites video in an inset screen onto a different background video. Inset screen Background video 1. Follow the procedure in “Selecting a Compositing Effect” (p. 22) to select “PinP 1/4,” “PinP 1/3,”or “PinP 1/2.” 2. Press the EFFECTS A (or B) [ON] button to turn on the effect (lighted). 3.
Audio Operations Adjusting the Volume Level This adjusts the volume level of input audio and output audio. 1. Press the [AUDIO] button to display the AUDIO menu. 2.

Use the [ ] and [ ] buttons to select the effect menu item you want to use. * For more information about effects, refer to the following section. 3. Use the A/B fader to adjust the setting value. 4. Press the [AUDIO] button to quit the menu. Equalizer (EQ) Adjusts the tone quality for each frequency band.
Audio Operations Interlinking Audio Output to Video Switching (Audio Follow) You can associate audio with a video switch so that when the video is switched, only the HDMI audio of the output video is output, and other HDMI audio is automatically muted. You can also use Audio Follow with audio input via AUDIO IN or MIC. 1. Follow the procedure in “Adjusting the Volume Level” (p. 25) to adjust the volume to the level you want to output. 2. Press the [AUDIO] button to display the AUDIO menu. 3.
