HS-500 General Operation Some General Notes on Installation Before setting up the HS-500, please make sure you have read the Warnings and Precautions section on page 3. The internal wiring between the SE-500 and TLM-702 is already installed and ready to go. Setting Up Place the HS-500 on a stable, flat surface, such as a desk with the handle of the case facing towards you. Ensure that the larger of the two sections, which has the handle attached, is on top. Unlock the two locks and lift the lid.
Connecting Video Sources and Power Cable Firstly remove the cover by unscrewing the two thumb screws, this allows easier access to the rear of the SE-500 With the cover removed you can see the rear panel of the SE-500 At the rear of the case there is a cable flap, unlock it so that it hinges down to allow access.
Thread the power cable through the cable access flap and insert it into the PSU. Now connect your video and audio inputs and outputs from your cameras etc. For more details see the SE500 section of this manual. With everything connected switch the SE -500 on and then replace the cover.
Switch on the two monitors and set them to a comfortable viewing angle. For more details of the monitors see the TLM-702 section. The HS-500 connections use the V1 inputs on both monitors. Make sure that the source switches are both set to V1. NOTE: When packing away the HS-500 please ensure that the monitors are folded flat before replacing the lid on the transit case.

1. Faders: sliders to control audio levels for the Main audio output mix. These Audio Level pots are the first stage in the audio signal path. Analog audio comes in through the 1/4 inch phono jack and RCA connectors on the rear panel see Rear Panel, page 14. 2. Headphones jack: accepts a stereo mini jack plug for stereo headphones. The headphone volume is controlled by the Headphone volume control (4.). 3. Audio Meters: LED style meters, which show the signal strength at the Audio Output.
9. Background: When Background is selected in either the Main or Sub Video Source (13, 14.), and the button is pressed (and the LED is lit except with black color background), repeated presses of the color button cycle through the 8 possible solid backgrounds. For more information, see Background, page 29. 10. Menu: Press and hold the button “BACKGROUND COLOR” for 2 seconds or more, a menu will pop up. You are able to change the camera settings, which include Brightness, Contrast, color, Tint (NTSC only).
16. Transition selectors: These twelve selection buttons determine the transition type and allow for the selection of certain effects that are performed on the selected Main Video Input channel. For more information, see Using Transitions, page 24 and Using Effects, page 27. Tech note: Transcoding is the act of changing video from one format to another, for example, from composite video to S-video. The SE-500 has been designed to perform transcoding, as part of its standard operating procedure.

8. Audio Inputs: A RCA stereo for a line level auxiliary analog audio source, such as a CD player or tape deck. If you are using more than two sources via an external audio mixer, connect the audio mixer’s line level output to this unbalanced Audio input. 9. Audio Output: A RCA stereo line level analog audio output, carrying the signal present at the output of the audio mixer section (see Controls and Operations, page 20). 10. Power: Switches the unit On / Off. 11.
Selecting video input formats and adjusting audio levels (Numbers refer to the Front Panel illustration above)*. Verify that there is a valid source at each input you’ve connected by using the Main Source Select buttons (13.) to select a channel and view the output on the main monitor. For each input channel (1, 2, 3, 4): connect either a Composite or S-Video source to each channel. For more information please see below.
Dissolving between sources Select the Main Video Source (13.) by pressing the appropriate channel button. The LED for the channel you have selected should be lit and you should see that source on the program monitor. Select the Sub Video Source (14.) you want to dissolve to. The default transition is fade (The LED should be lit when you turn on the switcher. If a different transition is selected at power up, press it to deselect.) Move the T-Bar (11.
PIP effect (7.), which stands for Picture in Picture. As you might guess, this effect requires a Main and Sub Video Source. Assuming you have valid inputs on Channel 1 and 2, select Channel 1 as the Main Source and Channel 2 as the Sub Source. When you engage the effect by pressing the PIP button (and verifying that the LED on the button is lit), on the program monitor you will have Channel 1 as the Main Source and Channel 2 as a smaller window inset. There are two choices for window size.
Controls and Operations Video Source The first thing to do when using the SE-500 is to select the Main and Sub Video Sources. The source you select (by pressing one of the buttons; a bright red LED on the selected button lights for confirmation) on the Main Source bus is what is sent to the Video output. This means that you can perform cuts between sources by simply pressing different buttons.
Color Processor The Color Processor controls work when you press and hold the “Background” (9.) button for 2 seconds or more, which is temporarily displayed at the Preview Output. For more information, please see the “MENU” section. These controls are like picture controls on a video monitor or the proc amp (processing amplifier) controls on a time base corrector. In fact, they are the proc amp controls of one of the SE-500’s 4 internal TBCs.
The most serious, accurate color correction is done with the aid of a waveform monitor/vector scope, a signal analysis instrument (actually a pair of instruments) common in video editing suites, which shows precisely the details of the video signal. With one of these instruments, you can see at a glance (once you know what you are looking for) the most intimate electronic details and irregularities of the video signal.
Audio Inputs, Levels, and Meters (Faders, bus selectors,) Audio Input Level Calibration Procedure The first step in setting up the audio for a session with your SE-500 consists of adjusting the levels on which channel you will be using. Slide the Master fader to Max, and set the other faders to 0.
Using Transitions The SE-500 can do 3 kinds of transitions: cut, fade, and wipe. The cut is a simple switch from one input source to another, and can be accomplished by selecting a source on the Main Source Bus, and then selecting a second one. One source is replaced by the next at the video output. Not flashy, not fancy, nothing to customize, but gets the job done. In fact, if you watch a film or video, paying attention to transitions, you’ll see that the cut is far and away the most often used transition.
List of transitions and parameters (suitable for photocopying) Wipe (works in conjunction with Border controls): 1: Block wipe from center to full screen.
10: Vertical wipe, middle to left and right 11: Horizontal wipe, middle to top and bottom 26
Using Effects The SE-500 is capable of producing a wide variety of digital effects. These falls into 2 categories: single channel and dual channel effects. Single channel effects are produced on the source selected in the Main Video Source bus and need no second video input. Single channel effects include Freeze. For example, select any input channel having a valid signal as the Main Video Input. Press the Freeze button once. You’ll see, on the program monitor, that the source video stops instantly.
Effects: Quad The Quad effect combines 4 input videos into 1 output. When this effect is activated, it shows 4 video sources on 1 single monitor. Each source takes one quarter of the entire screen. Press the button again, and it returns to the previous selected source in full screen. This is a dual channel effect, and cannot be used with any other transitions or effects. Effects: Split This effect will squeeze the Main Video Source and Sub Video Source into a half size screen.
Border These controls are used in conjunction with the Picture in Picture Effect and Wipe transition only, and can only be activated when the Picture in Picture or Wipe control is active. 8 Colors are available for the wipe border: black, blue, magenta, red, green, cyan, yellow and white. See “Background Color” below. (Wipe only). In PIP mode the border can only be white.
Four Camera Shoot: Live Stage Performance / Sporting Event The first example is a typical four-camera shoot. The example is based on a stage performance such as a play or a band, but it could just as easily be slightly modified for other live situations such as sporting events. The four cameras are feeding analogue signals to the SE 500, via Composite or S-Video. It would be possible to use DV cameras by adding a Datavideo DAC 6 to each of the channels that you want to run DV.
Live Conference In this second example we see a typical conference set up. There are two cameras to handle the speaker and the overview, with audience reaction or other action on the stage. Both cameras are analogue, but by adding a DAC 6 to any of the channels it would be possible to use a DV camera. There is a VCR or DVD player cued up with footage to enhance the speaker’s presentation, and a feed from a laptop of a PowerPoint presentation that the speaker will be referencing throughout his speech.
Live Event Mixing: Club VJ / Concert In our final example we are looking at a typical V.J. set up. Increasingly in clubs video images are used to add to the overall effect and atmosphere, they are combined with light displays and other audio / visual effects. In the set up above we see two cameras being used, one on the audience and the second on the V.J, it could just as easily be a second angle of the audience.
