2. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing the Analog Way Saphyr. Before you start setting up your Saphyr for the first time, please read through all of the documentation to become familiar with its powerful features. The Saphyr can be used in several configurations, which results in a versatile video production tool for live event staging and fixed installation applications.

BACKGROUND: a “Background” is a source, typically originating from a computer. Saphyr enables you to work with still (frame) background — visually in back of all other sources.

LAYER: a“layer”isanimagedisplayelement(suchasaPIPwindow,Key,logoorBackground)thathasavisual priority — either in front (or in back) of another layer. 1 frame non-resizable, up to 4 live layers resizable and 2 logos available on the Saphyr.

PIP: a “PIP” (Picture In Picture) is a picture, typically of reduced size, which is positioned over another background image or other PIPs. PIPs can be repositioned, reduced, enlarged and displayed with borders. PIPscanoverlap,dependingontheirvisualpriority.Saphyr offersvariousslides,wipes,andfadesfordynamic PIPentrancesand exits. A“flying” PIPisalso possible using vertical,horizontal,ordiagonal movement.APIP is considered as a layer.

FRAME: a “frame” is a full screen image which is selected from one of the still frames you can capture. A frame can be captured in flash memory from any video or computer source plugged into the machine.

LOGO: a“logo”isapartofascreenimagethatcanbecapturedinflashmemoryfromanyvideoorcomputer source, by keying or image cut-out. A logo can be positioned anywhere on the screen.

KEYING: “Key” is an electronic process whereby a video image is electronically superimposed over another sourceorbackground,bydynamicallyremovingaportionofthefirstimage.Forexample,removingallcontent ofacertaincolor(suchasgreenorblue)iscalledaChromaKey,andremovingcontentbasedonitsbrightness or luminance levels is called a (Luma Key). Keys are typically used for titles, logos and special effects. Saphyr allows you to key a live source (such as a camera shot with green or blue background, or a title with a black background) over any other source or sources.

SEAMLESS: Cleantransitionwithnoglitchorlossofsyncwhileswitchingbetweentwosources.Forexample, fading through black to another source is a seamless transition.

TRUE SEAMLESS: Clean seamless transitions with no glitch or freeze between two sources. For example, crossfading from source to source is a true seamless transition.

RCS²: Remote Control Software used to control, set up, and operate the device.

QUICK FRAME: The “Quick Frame” feature allows the instant display of a stored frame above all layers.

6.1 RCS² requirement

6. CONTROLLING THE SAPHYR

The Saphyr can be controlled and operated either via the Front Panel, from your computer via the RCS², or via one of our Event Controllers. (Control of the Saphyr can also be integrated into automation and control systems, contact your local technical support for more details.)

6.1 RCS² requirement

The recommended requirements are:	Operating system:
- Adobe Air®	- Windows XP SP3 or above
- 1Gb Ram	- Mac OS v10.7 or above
- 200Mb of free space	- Ubuntu v10 or above
- 100Mb Network adaptor or above	- Linux OS 11 or above

-1920x1080 optimized screen resolution

-1366x768 as the minimum screen resolution.

For Linux users:

TheRCS²isanAdobe®AIR®applicationthatrequiresthemostrecentversionofthisruntime.AsAdobe®AIR® is no longer supported for desktop Linux distributions, please use a dedicated software such as WINE to use applications designed for Microsoft Windows on your operating system.

1.First, install a Microsoft Windows compatibility layer software on your Linux PC.

2.Then install the Adobe® AIR® last release using your emulator

3.Finally, install the RCS² using your emulator.

You are ready to use the RCS².

6.2 Connecting with the RCS²

The RCS2 is an Adobe Air application that runs on your computer. Before you can connecttoyourdevice,youmustfirstdownloadandinstallAdobeAir,thendownload and install the RCS2 on your computer.

In order to connect the RCS2 to the device, you need to use a LAN connection. Use a crossovercableifyouconnectyourcomputerdirectlytotheunit,orusestraightcablesifyouareconnecting through a switch or hub.

Before switching ON the unit, please plug a LAN cable on the rear panel into the Ethernet port. Then switch ON the unit.

By default, the network settings on the Saphyr are

Default IP Address: 192.168.2.140 Default Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Default port: 10500

To be able to connect to this address, your computer will need to be configured to use a unique IP address on the same network. If thissetupwillbepartofalargernetworkwithotherdevices,please check with your network administrator before plugging these devices into the network to avoid any IP address conflicts.

Forexample,youcouldassignthefollowingstaticIPaddresstoyour computer:

Example Computer IP address: 192.168.2.50

Example Computer Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

To download the Remote Control Software, please visit our website and go into the product section. Then, into the download link, please download the RCS² associated to your product. Install it and then open. Here is the startup screen.

26

6.2 Connecting with the RCS²

Enter the IP address of the device and then the remote port. Click on SET AS DEFAULT if you want the software to remenber your configuration.

Click on Connect to start the connection.

Once connected, you have access to this screen:

In case of difficulties:

-Verify that you are using the correct network cable and that it is free from defects. (Crossover or straight cable as required.)

-Check the IP address of both the device and the computer. It must have a unique IP address on the same network as your Saphyr. You may need to manually configure a static IP address for your computer in your computer’s network configuration.

-You may need to temporarily disable any other networks on the computer, such as turning off the wifi connection.

-Close the RCS².

-Restart the RCS².

Once your computer has established connection, the RCS² control panel will begin to load, and will begin to synchronizewiththedevice. Whenthesmall“Sync”iconatthebottomrightofthedisplayhasturnedgreen, the RCS² software is ready to use.

Some computers use an energy saving mode that turns off the network adaptor during periods of inactivity. To avoid the inconvenience of reconnecting the software during use, please ensure your network adaptor remains active by disabling the energy saving mode.

BeforeyoustartsettingupyourSaphyr forthefirsttime,takesometimetothinkabouthowyouwillbeusing it. The Saphyr offers a choice of two operating modes, which results in a versatile video production tool for live event staging and fixed installation applications.

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

7.2 Setup

Gotothesetupsectiontostarttosetup your unit. A Setup assistant is available to help you to correctly adjust all basic setups of your unit.

7.2.1 Mode

The device can work in 2 different modes, Mixer mode or Matrix mode.

7.2.2 Audio

In this section, you will setup the audio of your device, you have several modes. In all modes, you have the possibility to output the audio in AES3 or SPDIF:

NO AUDIO: the audio of your device is switched off

PRESET MODE: the standard mode of use of the device

You have two possibilities:

•Top layer: the sound on the output will follow the audio input of the top layer.

•Breakaway: when breakaway is activated, the audio on the output is memorized into the preset. A change of preset, changes the audio on the output. A change of content into a video layer has no effect on the audio.

ROUTING MODE: in this configuration, simply choose an audio input to assign it to the output. The audio configuration remains the same during the show.

In this example input1 is on out1 and input 2 is on out 2

7.2.3 Screens

In the screen configuration, you will find the state of your screen. It indicates the screen resolution, the maximum number of layers you can use.

You will find configuration for the Quick Frame and the background color too.

The Quick Frame will be your emergency frame that can be displayed in front of every layer. Here, select the frame slot number to be displayed as the Quick Frame. If you are in Matrix mode, you have 2 screens status.
