INTRODUCTION

1-1. THE PLS200 OPERATING MODE

This mode allows for a single Pulse LE to seamlessly switch and blend any of its 10 analog/digital inputs
with any other of the inputs, add PIP or titling insertion on the live frame, while previewing your every move
before going live. The Mixer mode is the Pulse LE native mode, and will display up to 4 layers (of which 2
live layers).

* NOTE * : We recommend resetting the device to its default values every time you set up your shows or

events.

1-2. USEFUL TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

BACKGROUND: a “Background” is a source, typically originating from a computer. Pulse 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, Key, Logos or Background) that has an

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

The Pulse LE can simultaneously view no less than 4 layers (2 video, or live layers, 1 frame layer, or
background, and 2 logo layers).

Pulse LE can insert up to 1 PIPs on a live background.

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, bordered and shadowed. PIPs can overlap,
depending on their visual priority.

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

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.

Pulse 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 (High Denition Copy Protection) 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.

RGsB (SOG) signals), standard TV/VIDEO sources (Composite
video, S.VIDEO), Component video (YUV, RGBS & RGsB (SOG)),

and HDTV sources (480p, 720p & 1080i).
HD15: 1 x Universal Analog input on female HD15 connector.

COMPUTER SOURCES:

The device accepts the following computer signals: RGBHV, RGB/S,
and RGsB on inputs #1 to #4 and DVI inputs #1 to #2.

COMPOSITE VIDEO SOURCES:

The Composite Video signal, usually called COMPOSITE or VIDEO,
is available on most video equipment (VCR, DVD, CAMCORDER…),

but is also the lowest in picture quality. The video standard of this

signal can be NTSC, PAL or SECAM. The signal is transmitted on a

single coaxial cable, and is connected to the video equipment with
an HD15 connector.

For inputs #1 to #4: connect a 1 x 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-#4: connect a 2 x BNC from your S.VIDEO,

Y (G/Y) & C (R/R-Y), to the HD15 input of the device.

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 3 x BNC cable between the HD15 connector of the device
and your Component source.

21

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 #5 and #8: connect a HD15 to 4 x BNC cable
between the HD15 connector of the device and your RGB/S source.

DVI Inputs #1 & #2

REMOTE CONTROL SOFTWARE

5-1. THE PULSE LE RCS

RCS presentation

Your Pulse LE is shipped with a Windows compatible control software. The RCS software allows you to
control your PLS200 in exactly the same way as with the front panel of the device, only using your PC as a
remote.

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.

40

Software overview

The RCS software for your Pulse LE is composed of several easily identied sections. The tabs menu
(1) allows you to navigate through the equivalent of the Pulse LE front panel menu items (see also “The
Pulse LE Menu”). The green window of the RCS (2) 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 (3) represents your Main window, and can
also be used much like the front panel of the Pulse LE. Create user presets directly in the RCS main window,
by clicking on one of the four available Preset icons (4) and setting up your preset in the Preview window.
Clear unwanted steps with the clear button (5), reload a fresh copy of your screen via the Reload Main button
(6), make smooth takes directly with your mouse or trackpad with the virtual T-bar (7). The [TAKE] button
(9) will allow you to view any changes made to your preview screen on your main screen, and Analog Way
engineers have even implemented a Stepback button (8) to quickly move back to your previous setup in the
case of a manipulation error. The status section (10) allows for easy monitoring of the connection status.
