Connecting Peripheral Devices Connecting Source Devices To prevent malfunction or damage to video monitors or other devices, always turn off the power on all devices before making any connections. Connecting Video Devices Channels 1 through 4 are exclusively for composite signals. S-Video can be connected to channels 5 through 8. Channels 5 and 6 can be used either for composite or S-Video, but S-Video takes priority when both types of signals are input.
Connecting Peripheral Devices Connecting Output Devices The Difference Between A/B MIX OUT and PGM OUT The LVS-800 is equipped with two sets of output connectors. These are the A/B MIX OUT connectors and the PGM OUT connectors. The A/B MIX OUT connectors output only the results of the mixed video of A Bus and B Bus (A/B MIX). The PGM OUT connectors output the results of the A/B mix plus your composited logos, text, etc (DSK composition). Final output fade is enabled only for PGM OUT.
Connecting Peripheral Devices Connecting Output Devices You can connect displays or capture devices to the A/B MIX OUT in order to view or capture the output of the A/B mix only (no DSK). You should connect displays or capture devices to the PGM OUT jacks in order to view or capture the final mix of A/B mix plus DSK. You can connect source monitors to the MONITOR OUT jacks to have at-a-glance monitoring of all your input sources.
Turning the Power On/Off Connecting the AC adaptor Connect the AC adaptor to LVS-800. Place the AC adaptor so the side with the indicator (see illustration) faces upwards and the side with textual information faces downwards. The indicator will light when you plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet. fig.connect-PSB7U.
Turning the Power On/Off Turning the power on *Once the connections have been completed (p. 14), turn on power to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to monitors and other devices. *This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after power up is required before the unit will operate normally. Turning the power on Make sure that the AC adaptor is correctly connected.
Switching Between A Bus and B Bus Input sources are selected and switched between the A Bus and the B Bus. The unit has eight input selectors for each Bus, and you choose the input video for each bus before you perform the transition. With the LVS-800, you can switch between A Bus and B Bus in three different modes. Operation of each of these modes is described below. •A/B mode This performs switching using the video fader or the [AUTO] button for A/B MIX.
Switching Between A Bus and B Bus 3. Move the video fader. Move the video fader. Moving it toward the back of the unit makes more of the picture on A Bus appear, and moving toward the front displays more B Bus picture. *If you selected [CUT] in step 2, the picture is switched between A Bus and B Bus at the middle position of the video fader. *When the same input channel has been selected for A Bus and B Bus, moving the video fader does not affect the output. fig.move-Tbar.
Switching Between A Bus and B Bus Switching Using the AUTO Button You can also perform switching simply by pressing the [AUTO] button for A/B MIX, without using the video fader. The video fader itself does not move, but movement between A and B is performed automatically. The location of the light on the TRANSITION indicator shows the movement between A and B. 1. Choose the type of transition (transition effect).
Switching Between A Bus and B Bus Use in Other Operation Modes Besides the A/B Mode Changing the Operation Mode Changing the operation mode is accomplished using the menus. For more information about how to do this, refer to “Changing Settings Using the Menus” (p. 36). *The on-screen menu will only appear on a monitor connected to the A/B MIX PVW jack. 1. From the menu, select “Panel Mode Setup.” Press the [MENU] button to display the menu screen.
Switching Between A Bus and B Bus Switching After Monitoring the Preview Picture (PGM-PST Mode) In the PGM-PST mode, before you perform a switch, you can check the video on the preview monitor, then use the buttons to execute the transition. The preview picture is displayed on the preview monitor connected to the A/B MIX PVW connector. 1. Choose the type of transition (transition effect). If you want to apply a transition effect, use a [TRANSITION] button to choose [MIX], [WIPE1], or [WIPE2].
Switching Between A Bus and B Bus Switching the Picture Directly (LVS Mode) When no previewing is needed, you can perform switching by using only the input selector buttons. This lets you execute a transition more easily and rapidly. You can do this in the LVS mode. In the LVS mode, B Bus is handled as main video and A Bus is handled as insert video. Moving the video fader to the A Bus side superimposes the insert video selected on A Bus over the main video of B Bus.
Switching Between A Bus and B Bus Using Picture-in-Picture to Composite Two Screens You can apply Picture-in-Picture to create a small window of one source superimposed over another source. Composition in the A/B Mode or LVS Mode The A Bus video is the inset screen, and is displayed over the B Bus video (the background). 1. Choose the picture to display in the inset screen. Choose the channel of the video to display in the inset screen on A Bus. fig.select-Ach.eps 2.
Switching Between A Bus and B Bus 4. Move the video fader to the A Bus (inset screen) side. Move the video fader to the A Bus side. The inset screen appears. *The way the inset screen comes into view differs according to the transition-effect setting. When [CUT] has been selected, it remains hidden until the middle position is reached, and is displayed thereafter. fig.move-Tbar-A.eps 5. Move the video fader to the B Bus (background) side. Move the video fader to the B Bus side.
Switching Between A Bus and B Bus Composition in the PGM-PST Mode You can use Preview to check the video for inset-screen display first, then display it using the [AUTO] button. 1. Choose the background channel. Choose the channel of the video to display as the background with PST. fig.select-Ach.eps 2. Display the background. Press the [AUTO] button to display the background video. fig.select-Bch.eps 3. Check the picture of the inset screen.
Switching Between A Bus and B Bus 4. Press a [P in P] button. Press any of the four [PinP] buttons. The location where the inset screen is displayed varies depending on the button you press. The [A] in the square on the panel indicates the location of the inset screen. fig.PinP-button.eps 5. Display the inset screen. Press the [AUTO] button for A/B MIX to composite the inset-screen picture on the background.
Using the Downstream Keyer (DSK) What’s a Downstream Keyer (DSK)? A Downstream Keyer (DSK) allows you to superimpose text or graphics over background video. Since the text of graphics appear “downstream“ from your A/B mix, you can freely switch or mix various video sources behind your “keyed“ text or graphics. Generally, elements such as logos and text are composited using DSK.
Using the Downstream Keyer (DSK) Trying Out DSK Composition 1. Choose the background picture. Use the three BACKGROUND buttons to choose the background video. If you want to use the results of the A/B mix as the background, press the [A/B MIX] button to make it light up. If you want to use source video directly from channel 6 or channel 7 as the background, choose [6] or [7/PC1]. fig.background-select.eps 2. Choose the foreground picture.
Using the Downstream Keyer (DSK) 4. Perform composition and output. Pressing the [AUTO] button for DSK performs composition of the selected FOREGROUND picture superimposed on the selected BACKGROUND picture. The composited video is output to a projector or other device connected to the PGM OUT connectors. fig.DSK-AUTO.eps 5. Adjust the key level. You can adjust the key level by turning the [KEY LEVEL] dial.
Using the Downstream Keyer (DSK) Combining DSK and Picture-in-Picture With the LVS-800, you can perform DSK composition, then also apply Picture-in-Picture (PinP). This lets you display logos or other elements in smaller size and at the place you want on the screen. For information on how to select the background and foreground video, refer to the previous section.
Applying Fade to the Final Output You can apply fade-in or fade-out to the output from the PGM OUT connectors (the program output). Pressing the [AUTO] button for PGM OUTPUT FADE makes the button’s LED flash and starts a fade-out. When the fadeout has been completed, the button stops flashing and stays lit. Press the PGM OUTPUT FADE button again to start a fade-in. When the fade-in ends, the LED goes dark. fig.out-fade-button.
