INTRODUCTION

1-1. THE EIKOS LE (EKS400) OPERATING MODES

Before you start setting up your Eikos LE for the rst time, be sure you know what you actually want to do with it. The Eikos LE offers a choice of two operating modes, which results in a versatile video

production tool for live event staging and xed installation applications.

* NOTE * : We recommend resetting the device to its default values every time you set up your shows or events (see the “Operating The Eikos LE” chapter, p28).

MIXER MODE

This mode allows for a single Eikos LE to seamlessly switch and blend any of its 12 analog/digital inputs with any other of the inputs, add PIP, titling or logo insertion to the live frame, while previewing your every move before going live, to avoid embarrassing errors on your main screen. The Mixer mode is the Eikos LE native mode, and with no less than 6 layers (of which 3 live layers). The Video output allows to have a full Main screen for recording or broadcasting.

MATRIX MODE

This mode turns your Eikos LE into a true 12 x 2 scaled matrix, while preserving seamless switching capabilities. Main and Preview outputs can be set to different resolutions and rates. Switching between any of the inputs can be done with the various effects (Cut, Fade, Slides…) and synchronized on both outputs.

1-2. USEFUL TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

BACKGROUND: a “Background” is a source, typically originating from a computer. Eikos LE enables

you to work with live or still (frame) background sources - visually in back of all other sources.

LAYER: a “Layer” is an image display element (such as a PIP window, Key, Logo(s) or Background)

that has an associated visual priority — either in front (or in back) of another layer.

The Eikos LE can simultaneously view no less than 6 layers (3 video, or live layers, 1 frame layer, or background, and 2 logo layers).

Eikos LE can insert up to 2 PIPs on a live background, plus 2 logos.

PIP: a “PIP” (Picture In Picture), is a picture, typically of reduced size, which is positioned over

another background image or PIP. PIPs can be reduced, enlarged and bordered. PIPs can overlap, depending on their visual priority.

Eikos LE allows for Dynamic PIP on the opening and closing of the sequence, vertically or horizontally.

A “ying” PIP is also possible over the screen with vertical, horizontal or diagonal animation. A PIP

is considered as a live layer.

FRAME: a “Frame” is a full screen image which is selected from one of the eight still frames which

you can capture with the Eikos LE. A Frame can be ash captured and imported from any video or computer source plugged into the machine.

LOGO: a “Logo” is a part of screen image that can be ash captured and imported from any Video

or Computer source, by keying or image cut-out. Eikos LE can record up to 8 still logos. They can be positioned anywhere on the screen. An animated logo is also available on the eighth input.

KEYING: a “Key” is an electronic process whereby an image is electronically superimposed over

another source or background, by cutting out either a color (Chroma Key), or its brightness or luminance levels (Luma Key). Keys are typically used for titles, logos and special effects.

Eikos LE allows to use a live source with green or blue background and to key it over any other live input.

HDCP compliance

If you want to use HDCP content from your sources, be sure pluging HDCP compliant screens or

projectors. If it’s not the case, the output image could be disabled.

When displaying HDCP protected sources on non HDCP compliant equipment, the following

message will be displayed on the device VFD screen:

“Due to HDCP content, non HDCP screens cannot display protected sources”

Screen will go to black without displaying the HDCP input image, or partially layer out non HDCP

content.

Concerning the DVI inputs, a specic feature allows enable/disable the HDCP receiver for the input

chosen.

It can be very useful especially using a Mac:

Input Menu > DVI# > HDCP detection

The output status can provide you all information about the output in real time.

This feature is particularly needed when HDCP is used with long cable to be sure that the

communication is well handled.

*NOTE* : as part of our policy of continuous improvement, Analog Way reserves the right to

For inputs #1 to #4: connect a 1x BNC from your composite source, to the HD15 input of the device.

S.VIDEO SOURCES:

The S.VIDEO signal, also called Y/C, HI-8™, or S.VHS™, is available on DVD players and high quality VCRs (S.VHS). The S.VIDEO signal in which the

Luminance (Y) and Chrominance (C) information are separately transmitted, gives a higher quality picture than the Composite video signal. The S.VIDEO connector is usually a 4-pin Mini-DIN connector also

called Oshiden™ connector.

For inputs #1 to #4: connect a 2x BNC from your S.VIDEO, Y (G/Y) & C (R/R-Y), to the HD15 input of

the device.

Composite Source

S.Video Source

COMPONENT VIDEO SOURCES:

The Component Video signal, also called YUV

(Y, Pr, Pb) or BETACAM™, is widely used in

broadcasting and is available on high-quality DVD players. The COMPONENT signal is transmitted with 3 coaxial cables, and also has a better quality picture than COMPOSITE and S.VIDEO signals. The COMPONENT connectors are usually RCA (x3), or BNC (x3).

For inputs #1 to #4: connect a HD15 to 3x BNC cable between the HD15 connector of the device and your

Component source.

COMPUTER SOURCES:

G BR

The device accepts the following computer signals:

RGBHV, RGB/S and RGsB on inputs #1 to #6.

RGBS VIDEO SOURCES:

This signal is widely used in broadcasting and is available on European DVD player. The RGB/S signal is transmitted with 4 coaxial cables, and also has a better picture quality than COMPOSITE and S.VIDEO signals. The RGB/S connectors are usually BNC connectors for Broadcasting equipment, and SCART connector for DVD players.

For inputs #1 to #4: connect a HD15 to 4x BNC cable between the HD15 connector of the device and your

RGB/S source.

It is strongly recommended resetting all of the default values of your Eikos LE unit before setting up your shows and events. To do so, press the EXIT/MENU button and select Control in the menu by rotating the corresponding knob. Then press the ENTER button to enter the Control sub-menu. Select Default Values by rotating the scroll knob, and press the ENTER button to enter your choice to restart your Eikos LE with its factory settings. This operation should take approximately 30 seconds.

Eikos LE color codes

Analog Way engineers have developed a handy, user friendly way of identifying machine status

on the front panel, via the use of color codes on the buttons of the machine. All new Analog Way machines use the same codes, for quick recognition of the status of any device of the range, at any given time.

For the Eikos LE, button color codes are as follow:

- Sources on the Main output are indicated in red when active,

- Sources on the Preview output are indicated in green when active,

- Buttons in the layer section turn red or green, depending on whether the selected layer is

active in respectively the Main or Preview window,

- Menu buttons are indicated in green,

- Selecting a button with an available source or function will cause that button to blink green on

the preview, or red once it is on the Main output,

- TAKE button reacts as follows:

• If take function is available, the button will appear in green.

• When the take function is active, it will light up red.

Using a crosshair, you can select a particular hue based on what is on screen. Once you have adjusted the crosshairs to a desired position, press set/enter to capture the color value at that instant.

You can then adjust the other parameters such as Tolerance to further rene your key.

Manual Setting:

Select Chroma Key menu -> Manual Settings menu

R,G,B:

These controls allow you to manually select a hue, dened by its Red, Green, and Blue va-

lues as you can nd in Windows (Paint software).

Tolerance:

The Tolerance parameter allows you to expand your key color selection to include colors

which are similar to the selected value. A tolerance of 1 will select only the desired hue, whereas a tolerance of 255 will select nearly all hues.

Black Level:

This option permits adjustment of the luminance levels of the keyed hue. The Black Level is

the luminance lower bound. Colors in the selected hue range with a luminance brighter than the Black Level but darker than the White Level will be considered part of the key.

White Level:

This option permits adjustment of the luminance levels of the keyed hue. The White Level is

the luminance lower bound. Colors in the selected hue range with a luminance brighter than the Black Level but darker than the White Level will be considered part of the key.

Titling alpha:

If you have selected one of the two Titling modes, the titling menu appears. This option places a transparent black backdrop behind the entire layer to which the key is applied. This effect is useful for using bright titles on bright backgrounds, such as clouds.

Invert keying:

By default, this mode is disabled. When this mode is activated, the key selection will remain on screen, and all other portions of the image will be keyed away. For example, you would see the green screen behind the actor, while the actor would be keyed away.

* NOTE *: If you want to use HDCP content from your sources, be sure to plug HDCP compliant

screens or projectors. If it’s not the case, the output image could be disabled.

Output selection settings

To set up the outputs, go in the Output #1 or Output #2 menu and choose rst the appropirate for- mat/resolution and then the adapted rate for your screens by using the knob button and the Enter button.

Output# → Output Format → Output rate

You can also in the Output 2 menu, synchronise all the changes from the Output #1 to the Output #2 by checking the case Synch w/Out 1. It allows you to set up both outputs at the same time.

Output #2 → Synch w/Out 1

* NOTE *: The output status can provide you all information about the output in real time. This fea-

ture is particularly needed when HDCP is used thanks to the HDCP status.

*All changes have to be validated by pressing the OK button in order to be saved*

Video Out

Almost the same than in mixer mode except that in Native Matrix mode, the menu “connection

mode” appears. It allows you to choose recording Output #1 or Output #2.

Working with Native Matrix Mode

To activate the Native Matrix Mode:

Mode Menu → Native Matrix mode menu → Standard Mode or Mirror Mode

You’ll nd all menus from the Mixer Mode in the main menu except some specic Matrix function added.

To work with Native Matrix Mode, it’s the same way than in the Mixer Mode except the fact that you

have to use the Matrix # buttons rst. For instance, if you want to put the Frame #1 on the Output #1 and the Live source #3 on the output #2:

Press Matrix #1 button → Press Background Frame button → Press input #1

Press Matrix #2 button → Press background live button → Press input #3

Press Take to view the result on both screens

All the shortcut, menu and settings are available in the same way than in the Mixer Mode. Never-

theless don’t forget to press the correct Matrix # button before pressing the Layer selection button,

in order to be sure doing the manipulation on the correct output.

Working with Cut, Fade or Transitions

All the transitions available in the Mixer Mode are available in the Native Matrix Mode too. Although the matrix mode is activated, you will be able to perform powerful transition effects seamlessly. It

can depend on your conguration.

The Eikos LE has 4 scalers, to understand how your effect will be performed, you need to know how many scalers are used on your outputs. Don’t forget that you always need one free scaler to perform clean transition. Example:

1 background live on each output → 2 scalers used → 2 seamless transitions

1 background frame on each output + 1 PIP on each output → 2 scalers used → 2 seamless

transitions available

The background Frame and the Logos are not considered as live layers and are not counted as using a scaler.

Working with PIP

The PIPs are used in the same way as the Mixer Mode. A source has to be selected to activate the

PIP settings. Each PIP has its own settings, PIP 1 on output #1 is not linked to PIP 1 on output #2

in terms of settings.

* NOTE *: Take a look at the blinking of the Matrix Mode button to always know on which output you are working on.

In the EKS400, you can have 1 PIP over a Background Frame. In order to use this PIP, you will have to use the Background live layer and to resize it. You will use this layer as a PIP. The PIP button is used only for a titling effect, select the PIP layer, select a source and adjust the keying level after having activated the keying in this PIP.

In the EKS400, into the Matrix mode, the second live layer has to be keyed otherwise the layer will stay black.

Working with Mirror Modes

The Mirror Matrix Mode is a specic Matrix Mode where the output #2 will be the perfect mirror copy of the output #1. In that way, each settings apply to output#1 will be performed on the output #2 too.

Mode Menu → Native Matrix mode menu → Mirror Mode

To use the Mirror mode, just perform your setting and operation from the Matrix output #1. Nevertheless you can do manipulation on the output #2 at any time.

For a perfect use, set up the output format and rate for the output #2 as for the output #1 using the

synchronise button: Output 2 → Synch w/Out 1

Using the Matrix Mode, several conguration are available, the Simple Mode and the Mirror Mode.

Using the Mirror Mode:

To use the Mirror Mode, simply select the Matrix Mode by the Main menu, then the Mirror Mode can be activated thanks to the PIP layers menu.

Select the PIP layer and go in the Layer menu, then select the “Layer Copy Mode” menu. There are several mirror positioning options:

For the ❶, ❷, ❸ & ❹ modes: Mirror Mode activated only for the PIP layer

All backgrounds are Frames

1- No Copy: this mode is the standard Matrix Mode, output #1 and #2 are independent...

❶

OUTPUT #1 OUTPUT #2

2- Clone mode: The output #1 and #2 will be the same. All changes on the

output #1 will be affected to the output #2. Layers will have

the same position and size.

❷

OUTPUT #1 OUTPUT #2

Frame

3- Copy & H.pos Flip mode: the output #2 will be exactly the same as the output #1 except the

fact that the selected layer will have its H position ipped (standard

Mirror Mode).

❸

OUTPUT #1

4- Copy & H.Flip all modes: the output #2 will be exactly the same

as the output #1 except the fact that the selected layer will have its H position and data ipped.

OUTPUT #2

Frame

❹

OUTPUT #1

*NOTE*: Remember that to simplify the use of this feature, you need to manipulate the Output #1. While in mirror mode, the Output #2 will follow the desired steps.

OUTPUT #2

*NOTE*: Every change on the Output #2 will have an effect only on the Output #2, but remember that if a change occurs on the Output#1 after that, the Output #2 will update automatically to match output #1 (in mode 2/3/4).

Working with Frames/Logos

The Frame/Logo is still memorized on the Output #1. To record a Frame/Logo, please refer to the chapter “Capturing still Frame/Logo” in the Mixer Mode.

To use a Frame/Logo, refer to “Working with frame/logo” in the Mixer Mode. As a source, each Frame/Logo can be used by both outputs, you just have to select the correct

matrix# button rst.

REMOTE CONTROL SOFTWARE

5-1. THE EIKOS LE RCS

RCS presentation

The RCS will give you a powerful tool to exploit all the features of your Eikos LE at distance. By LAN, or RS-232, you will be able to do exactly the same manipulation as you could do from the front panel. USer-friendly and easy-to-use, you will take the hand quickly with it.

How to use the RCS ?

You have to install the software on a Computer and have a LAN board or RS-232 link to use the RCS. After the installation, launch the program and proceed to the network establishment.

Software installation

1. Connect you on www.analogway.com.

2. In the menu, select [Technical Support] menu, then click on [Remote Control Software], select the name of your device and click on [Download].

3. Click on [Open with] or [Register the le], select the .exe le.

4. Follow the Windows installation instructions.

Software overview

The RCS software for your Eikos LE is composed of several easily identied sections. The tabs menu allows you to navigate through the equivalent of the Eikos LE front panel menu items (see also “The EIKOS LE Menu” p.60). The green window of the RCS represents your Preview window, and can be used to parameter sources, frames, layers and logos directly by clicking on the corresponding button, then navigating through the different available tabs. The red window of the RCS represents your Main window, and can also be used much like the front panel of the Eikos LE.

Create user presets directly in the RCS main window by clicking on one of the four available Preset icons and setting up your preset in the Preview window. Clear unwanted steps with the clear button, reload a fresh copy of your screen via the Reload Main button, make smooth takes directly with your mouse or trackpad with the virtual T-bar. The Take button will allow you to view any change made to your Preview screen on your Main screen. Analog Way engineers have even implemented a Stepback button to quickly move back to your previous setup in the case of a manipulation error. The status section allows for easy monitoring of the connection status.

The RCS software for your Eikos LE can be viewed as the software version of the Eikos LE front panel menu section. It allows you to quickly access all of the Eikos LE functions via a single page interface, and easily edit your settings directly from your laptop or PC.

Before starting with the RCS software, you must establish a connection from your laptop to the Eikos LE you wish to run.

Serial connection

1. Connect a RS-232 cable

between the Eikos LE and your PC, then power on your devices.

2. Click on the RCS program le on your PC to run the software.

3. Click on the “Connections” tab and select RS-232 as the connection type. In the dropdown menu, select the COM port number corresponding to the connected device (default is Port 1).

4. Click apply, and wait for devices to synchronize. The RCS will display the following connection message : “Device Connected”.

5. Click on the “Connections” tab to return to the main screen.

Ethernet connection

1. Connect a crossed RJ45 cable between the Eikos LE and your PC, then power on your devices. Use straight RJ45 if connecting through a network switcher.

2. Click on the RCS program le on your PC to run the software.

3. Click on the “Connections” tab and select LAN as the connection type.

4. In the “Remote Address” eld, enter the IP address of the Eikos LE you wish to control (see also “Working with the Eikos LE”, p.33).

5. In the “Remote Port” eld, enter the remote port number of the Eikos LE you wish to control (see also “Working with the Eikos LE”, p. 33).

6. Click Apply, and wait for devices to synchronize. The RCS will display a connection message.

7. Click on the “Connections” tab to return to the main screen.

5-2. WORKING WITH THE RCS

Operating mode

To choose the operating mode you want your Eikos LE to work in, simply click the “Mode” tab, then select the desired mode by clicking on one of the two mode buttons (Mixer or Sync Matrix).

* NOTE *: for further details on different modes, restrictions and settings, please refer to the “Working with the Eikos LE” chapter, p.33, and the “Home Menu” chapter p.60.

Source input conguration

Once your Eikos LE is wired up to your PC, the rst step in properly conguring your machine is to individually

select and parameter your inputs.

1. Click on the “Inputs” tab of the RCS.

2. In the Plug column of the “Input” page, select the

plug type by clicking the appropriate eld.

3. Activate the input in the Enabled column if it is not.

4. In the scroll-down menu of the Type column, select the signal type connected to that plug.

5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for all sources connected to the rear panel of your Eikos LE.

6. Click on the “Inputs” tab to return to the main screen.

Source output conguration

1. Click on the “Outputs” tab of the RCS.

2. Select the type of plug which is connected to

outputs #1 & #2 of your Eikos LE by clicking in the appropriate eld in Analog Type or DVI Type for

both Main and Preview outputs.

3. Select the appropriate output format and output rate.

4. Click on the “Outputs” tab to return to the main screen.

The Output menu also allows you to generate test patterns. The test patterns available through the Output menu let you quickly and reliably setup your projectors.

* NOTE * : Be sure to turn the test pattern off to display your sources again.

Working with PIPs

The Eikos LE allows users to manipulate 2 PIPs (Picture In Picture) which you can move, size, crop or zoom, apply transparency or transitions to.

PIP conguration

1. Click on the Image tab of the RCS interface. The empty Image screen will appear on screen.

2. By clicking on the drop-down menu in the Preview section, situated next to the layer you wish to use as a PIP, you will access the image parameters of the PIP source you select

(#1 to #12).

3. Set the desired PIP attributes (size, position, zoom, border, transparency...).

4. Click on the Image tab to return to the main screen.

Working with Frames

It is possible to store up to 8 frames in the Eikos LE non volatile memory. Frames are mainly used as backgrounds in a typical show or event setup, and can be recorded from any of the 8 Eikos LE sources and called back at the click of a single button.

* NOTE * : To memorize a frame, select an input, and take it to the Main screen. Once the frame is displayed on your Main output, it is then possible to store it to the Eikos LE non volatile memory.

* NOTE * : Frames may be used only one at a time. A frame may not be used as a Live Background.

Memorizing Frames in the Eikos LE

1. In the Input Selection section, click on the source

button (#1 to #12) of the source you wish to

record as a frame.

2. Click on the Logos/Frames tab of the RCS interface. Then click on the Record Frame button.

3. Click on the eld next to the rst free Frame to select it.

4. Click on the Execute button.

Working with Logos

It is possible to store up to 8 logos in the Eikos LE non volatile memory. Logos work in much the same way as frames, and can be recorded from any of the Eikos LE’ 12 sources.

Logos have more attributes than frames. They can be sized, positionned, but also keyed via color cutout selection or Luma Key.

Memorizing Logos

1. In the Input Selection section, click on the

source button (#1 to #12) of the source you

wish to record as a logo.

2. In the Logos/Frames tab, click on Record Logo, then select an empty logo memory slot

(#1 to #8) to record your logo into.

3. Adjust position, size and keying attributes for your logo.

4. Click Execute to record your logo into the selected memory slot. The Eikos LE RCS will display a progress bar while recording the logo.

5. In the Input Selection section, click the LOGO1 button, and select logo number (#1 to #8) you wish to use. Your logo will appear on the preview screen above any existing layer on screen.

6. Click on the TAKE button. Your logo will appear on the main display.

Layer transitions & effects

The Eikos LE offers a wide variety of transitions between the scenes you create for your shows and events. It allows for live recall of 4 user presets, each of which you can edit at any given time.

1. In the Layer Selection section, click on the PIP1 button. On your Preview screen, PIP1 will appear as a color rectangle. The parameters of the layer will automatically appear in the RCS Preview section.

2. At the bottom of the Preview section, click on the Transition tab, then select the transition type from the left dropdown menu, and the effect behaviour from the right dropdown menu.

3. Determine effect duration by sliding the duration bar left (shorter) or right (longer), or by manually setting the value in the duration value box.

4. Repeat the procedure in the Closing Effect tab to determine the way your layer will close.

Creating Presets

The Eikos LE allows the creation of user

dened presets very easily. Any setup you have congured on screen, can be stored into

one of the 4 available user presets.

1. After having congured layers, PIP transitions, logos... on your screen (see “Working with the RCS” chapter, p. 72), click on one of the four available Preset buttons.

2. In the dropdown menu, choose Save From Main or Save From Preview to determine which screen you want to memorize the preset from.

3. By clicking one of the two options, the RCS will automatically load and preview the selected Preset.

4. Click on the Take button to view your preset on the Main screen.

Working with Presets

The four Eikos LE user presets can be called back at any stage during your show or event.

1. Click on one of the four available Preset buttons to choose which memory you wish to use. Select Load to Preview from the dropdown menu, your preset will appear on the Preview screen.

2. Once you have selected your preset, simply click on the Take button to view the result on your main screen.

Working with Audio

The Eikos LE allows to work with up to 10 stereo inputs, 1 auxiliary input, and 2 embedded SDI audio inputs (via the SDI BNC connectors), all accessible via the Audio menu of the Eikos LE, and which can be affected to one or both of the 2 independent symetrical/asymetrical outputs of the device.

Audio conguration

To congure audio settings of the Eikos LE, plug all audio inputs into the device, and click on the Audio tab of the RCS home page.

1. Set the Main audio output level and delay (accessible only if Delay Mode is set to Manual Adjust), or click on the Mute button to mute Main audio output.

2. Repeat step 2 for the Prelist audio output.

3. Individual source settings (level and balance) for each audio input can be congured in the right hand section of the Audio tab.
