INTRODUCTION

1-1. THE SMART MATRIX OPERATING MODE

Before you start setting up your Smart MatriX (SMX200) for the rst time, be sure you know what you actually want to do with it. The Smart MatriX offers one operating mode, 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 Smart MatriX” chapter, p28).

Native Matrix Mode

This mode turns your Smart MatriX into a true 12 x 2 High End 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. Smart MatriX 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 Smart MatriX can simultaneously view no less than 4 layers (2 video, 1 frame & 1 Logo, per output).

Smart MatriX 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.

Smart MatriX allows for Dynamic PIP on the opening and closing of the sequence, vertically or horizontally. A “Flying” 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 Smart MatriX. 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. Smart MatriX 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.

Smart MatriX 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”

Your 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 when using a Mac:

Input Menu > DVI# > HDCP detection

The output status can provides 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.

Don’t forget that HDCP content can be displayed only through Digital link like DVI.

The SDI and the HD15 output don’t support the HDCP protection.

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

design and specication changes for product improvements without prior notice. The performance specication gures indicated are nominal values of production units. There may be some

deviations from these values in individual units.

To work with native matrix mode, 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

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 (Cut, Fade or Transistions) are available in the native Matrix Mode. Although the Matrix Mode is activated, you will be able to perform powerful transition effects seamlessly. It can depend on your conguration.

The Smart MatriX 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 line on each output + 1 PIP on output #1 → 3 scalers used → 1 seamless

transition available only on output #2 but the output #1 with a background live + 1 PIP will not be seamless transition (ie: Fade through black)

1 background frame on each output + 2 PIP on each outputs → 4 scalers used → NO

seamless transition (ie: fade through black)

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

Working with Layers Functions

Once a source attached to a layer, you will have access to some layer settings in the Layer menu or directly by pressing the layer button.

The settings available depend on the layer selected:

- Layer adjusts: set up layer size and position.

- Layer zoom: set up layer zoom size and position.

- Transparency: adjust the Layer transparency.

- Border: choose the border and adjust its properties.

- Opening and Closing effect: adjust the Open/Close effect type and duration.

- Smooth move: enable/disable smooth move.

- Status: get the selected layer status.

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

Press Take to view the result on the main screen.

Settings available:

Settings Background Live / PIP#1 PIP#2 PIP#3

Position YES YES YES Size YES YES YES Zoom YES YES YES

Transparency YES YES YES Border YES YES YES Opening effects YES YES YES Closing effects YES YES YES

Smooth Move YES YES YES H Flip / V Flip YES YES YES

Even the Logo and Frame buttons can access to their own settings, but a source # has to be affected too.

The Main output can displayed simulteaneously up to 6 layers stacked from bottom to top as follows:

- The Background Frame: One stored frame selected from 8 available,

- The Background Live/PIP#1: One source selected from 12 inputs available,

- The PIP#2: One source selected from 12 inputs available,

- The PIP#3: One source selected from 12 inputs available,

- The Logo#1: One stored Logo selected from 8 available,

- The Logo#2: One stored Logo selected from 8 available.

Opening transitions and closing Live Layers

When transitioning live layers, depending on how many scalers are in use, the SMX200 TAKE function will act in one of 3 different ways when transitioning the Next Preset (Preview) to the Current Preset (Main):

• Take 1- shot: Case #1

- There are enough scalers for making a transition

- All inputs are locked on to scalers

- There are no constraints for closing before the Take

- All opening and closing transitions can be performed simultaneously.

• Take 2- shot: Case #2

- There are enough scalers for making a transition

- All inputs are locked on to scalers before the Take

- There are no constraints for closing during the Take

- All the necessary closing transition are performed to free occupied scalers and then the SMX200 performs all

openings.

• Take sequenced- shot: Case #3

- There are not enough scalers for making a transition

- All inputs are not locked on to scalers

- All the necessary closing transitions are performed to free occupied scalers. The SMX200 locks on to new

sources and performs all openings.

Working with PIP

The PIPs are used in the same way as other units. 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.

All PIP settings are available in the Layer menu once the PIP is selected.

PIPs with Transitions & Borders

Transitions:

All the settings are available in the Layer Menu after pressing the selected PIP. The transition effects have some shortcut on the front panel too. To Use it: Press the selected PIP# → Press the Cut, Fade, User #1 or User #2 button

The effect will be immediately attached to the selected PIP.

Concerning the User 1 and User 2 button, they have to be set up before in the Control menu → Prog. Keys

Fade

- Adjustable pre-timed fades or manual

transition with T-Bar

- Fade between any input, computer or video

- Adjustable cross-fading duration

Slide

- Sliding of video or computer images during the transition

- Horizontal: from/to left, -or- vertical: from/to up, down

Wipe

- Numerous wipes can be selected horizontal and vertical, from the center or outside, in circle, Zoom in and out

- Horizontal: from left, center -or- vertical: from up, down, center

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 → Sync 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 through the Main menu, then the Mirror Mode can be activated layer by layer thanks to the layers menu.

Select the chosen 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:

Red case: Mirror Mode activated only for the PIP layer

Blue case: Mirror Mode activated for PIP layer and Background live Layer

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

❶

OUTPUT #1

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.

OUTPUT #2

OUTPUT #1

OUTPUT #2

❷

OUTPUT #1 OUTPUT #1OUTPUT #2 OUTPUT #2

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 OUTPUT #1OUTPUT #2 OUTPUT #2

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.

❹

OUTPUT #1OUTPUT #1 OUTPUT #2 OUTPUT #2

*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.

*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 can be memorized from Output #1 or #2. To record a Frame/Logo, please refers to the chapter “Capturing still Frame/Logo” in the Mixer Mode.

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

rst.

Capturing still Frames

To capture a frame, display the exact content you want to save on one of your output, at the exact resolution, you can use the freeze button if you want. Then follow this step (choose rst the source to capture in the menu Logos/Frames -->capture sources):

Logos/Frames menu → record Frame menu→ Frame #

Select the frame number you want to save and wait until the unit nish saving. Your frame is now saved and

you can use it through the background frame button.

The capture of frames can be done only under the following conditions:

- The unit can be in Matrix Mode,

- The capture can be done the Main output or the Preview output,

- The disappearance of frames on the Preview and Main output is normal.

A frame captures the state of the specied output at the main output resolution, and must be recalled using the same output resolution. Resizing or other image manipulation of the captured frame is not possible.

The captured output is outlined by a white border and includes the pixels beneath the white border.

Working with Frames

It is possible to store up to 8 frames in the SMX200 non volatile memory. Frames are mainly used as backgrounds in a typical show or event setup, and can be recorded from any of the SMX200’

12 sources and called back at the press of a single button. To use a frame, be sure rst that it is well saved,

then:

Press Background Frame button → Press Frame # button

* NOTE * : Frames may be used only one at a time and cannot be placed in a layer.

Opening transitions & closing Still Layers (Logos or Frames)

When transitioning still layers, depending on how many scalers are in use, the SMX200 TAKE function will act in one of 2 different ways when transitioning the Next Preset (Preview) to the Current Preset (Main):

• Take shot: #1

- All still frames make an opening and closing phase.

- All sources of the same layer are completely different between the Current Preset and the Next Preset. The

opening and closing effects of the Layer are set to Cut.

• Take shot: #2

- One of the Layer makes a change of source which be not in Cut.

- The opening and closing phases can be done with different effects.

- The still frame appears and disappears of the layer with the following effects: Cut, Fade, Slide or Wipe.

- The unit can be in Matrix Mode

- The capture can be done on the Main output or the Preview output

- The disappearance of logos on the Preview and Main output is normal.

The logos are captured with the same size that the Main output without any form of adjustment.

A logo captures the state of the dened area on the specied output at the Main output resolution, and must be recalled using the same output resolution. Resizing or other image manipulation of the captured logo is

not possible.

The capture zone is outlined by a white rectangle and includes the pixels beneath the white border. The non-

captured area is reduced in brightness.

Logo capture is limited in the number of pixels being captured. When the logo capture area is resized, extending the horizontal size may reduce the vertical size to compensate.

Logos can also be captured and displayed with transparent areas. By adjusting the keyer in the logo capture

menu, the portions of the captured area can be keyed away and captured as transparent.

The Logo “Cut out color” can help display which portions of the image will be captured as tranparent.

* NOTE *: The cut out color is only a visual tool to help identify the transparent areas of the logo. These colored regions will be captured and later displayed as transparent area.

* NOTE*: Capturing a “Logo” is limited to a small percentage of the output resolution. To capture and display a full screen image, use the still “Frame”.

Capturing an animated Logo

To capture animated Logo, display the exact content you want to save on the main screen, you can use the freeze button. Then follow this step:

+ =

To use Keying, rst select a source in the desired layer:

Layer button -> source number button

Then in the main menu, select the Keying/Titling menu.

You now have several choices to key your sources. The Luma Key and the Chroma Key based on the Luma

pixel values and the Chroma pixel values and for both an additional Titling menu which can be useful to

choose the transparency value of your keying.

Keying/Titling menu -> Type menu -> Select your keying type

Once your keying mode is selected, the Smart MatriX provides you some keying advance setting:

For Luma Key:

Luma Keying is used to key from a particular luminous intensity. It produces a hard edged key based

on intensity, which is most suitable for titling effects. You can choose to key things that are extremely dark or extremely bright and keep everything in between, or invert to key only things that are of a me-

dium intensity.

The black and white levels dene where to begin the keying. In the range 0 to 255, 0 represents no

luminance, or black and 255 represents full luminance, or white.

- Level Black: As the Black Level is changed from 0 to 255, things that are black are rst keyed out,

followed by dark grey, then light grey, and so forth, until the entire picture is keyed out at 255.

- Level White: As the White Level is changed from 255 to 0, things that are white are rst keyed out,

followed by light grey, then dark grey, and so forth, until the entire picture is keyed out at 0.

Non-Inverted Mode

Keyed Away Keyed Away

Visible Picture

White levelBlack level

For Chroma Key:

Chroma Keying is used to key from a particular color. It produces a soft-edged key which is most suitable for

moving images and “weatherman” style applications.

Color grabber:

Select Chroma Key menu -> Select Color grabber menu

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 values 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 lumi-

nance 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 lumi-

nance 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 mode, 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.

REMOTE CONTROL SOFTWARE

5-1. THE SMART MATRIX RCS

RCS presentation

The RCS will give you a powerful tool to exploit all the features of your SMX200 at distance. By LAN, or RS232, 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 Smart MatriX is composed of several easily identied sections. The tabs menu allows you to navigate through the equivalent of the Smart MatriX front panel menu items (see also “The Smart MatriX Menu” p.30). 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 Smart MatriX.

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 Smart MatriX can be viewed as the software version of the Smart MatriX front panel menu section. It allows you to quickly access all of the Smart MatriX 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 Smart MatriX

you wish to run.

Serial connection

1. Connect a RS-232 cable between the Smart MatriX 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 drop-down 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 Smart MatriX 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 Smart MatriX you wish to control (see also “Working with the Smart MatriX”, p.31).

5. In the “Remote Port” eld, enter the remote port number of the Smart MatriX you wish to control (see also “Working with the Smart MatriX”, p. 31).

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

Source input conguration

Once your Smart MatriX is wired up to your PC, the rst step in properly conguring your machine is to individually select and

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

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 Smart MatriX 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 Smart MatriX 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 Smart MatriX 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 Smart MatriX 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 Smart MatriX 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

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

Layer transitions & effects

The Smart MatriX 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 Smart MatriX 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. 59), 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 Smart MatriX 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.
