INTRODUCTION

1-1. THE SMART MATRIX LE OPERATING MODE

Before you start setting up your Smart MatriX LE for the rst time, be sure you know what you actually want
to do with it. The Smart MatriX LE 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 LE” chapter, p25).

Native Matrix Mode

This mode turns your Smart MatriX LE into a true 10 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. Smart MatriX LE enables

you to work with live background sources - visually in back of all other sources.

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

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

The Smart MatriX LE can view 1 live layer.

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 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 displayingHDCP 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:

Allows to display a frame or a source in case of sync loss of the selected input. To set up the Sync. Loss
function:

Menu → Control → Sync. Loss → Press Input# or Enabled

The selected input must be activated for being visible in case of sync loss.

29

Output selection settings

To set up the outputs, go in the Output #1 or Output #2 menu and choose rst the appropriate format/reso­lution and then the appropriate 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 just one time your outputs.

Output #2 → Synch w/Out 1

Use the native resolution of your screens/projectors in order to obtain the best image quality.

* NOTE *: The output status can provide you all information about the output in real time. This feature is
particularly needed when HDCP is used thanks to the HDCP status.

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

Working with Native Matrix Mode

To activate the Native Matrix Mode:

Mode Menu → Native Matrix Mode Menu

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 input #1
Press Matrix #2 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.

30

Working with Cut, Fade or Transitions

All the transitions (Cut, Fade or Transitions) are available in the native matrix mode. Although the matrix

mode is activated, you will be able to perform powerful transition effect seamlessly. It can depend on your

conguration.

The Smart MatriX 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 live on each output + 1 DSK Layer on output 1 → 3 scalers used → 1 seamless transi-

tion available

1 background live on each output + 2 DSK Layers on each outputs → 4 scalers used → NO

seamless transition

The background Frame and the Logos are not available on the Smart MatriX LE.

Working with DSK (Chroma/Luma Key)

DSK Mode must be used with remote controllers specically designed to control the SMX100.

- SMX100 allows to use a live source with green or blue (or any color) background and to key it over another live
input.

- Background is removed and replaced by another source.

- Title can be keyed (DSK) on Analog or Digital Sources.

+ =

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

The SMX100 does not display a PIP without Keying.
The result is a display to black.

31

Once your keying mode is selected, the Smart MatriX LE 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.

32

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 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.

REMOTE CONTROL SOFTWARE

5-1. THE SMART MATRIX LE RCS

RCS presentation

The RCS will give you a powerful tool to exploit all the features of your SMX100 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.

40

Software overview

The RCS software for your Smart MatriX LE is composed of several easily identied sections. The tabs

menu allows you to navigate through the equivalent of the Smart MatriX LE front panel menu items (see also
“The Smart MatriX LE Menu” p.25). 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 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 Smart MatriX LE can be viewed as the software version of the Smart MatriX LE
front panel menu section. It allows you to quickly access all of the Smart MatriX 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 Smart MatriX
LE you wish to run.

41

Serial connection

1. Connect an RS-232 cable between the Smart MatriX 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 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 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 Smart MatriX LE you wish to control (see also
“Working with the Smart MatriX LE”, p.28).

5. In the “Remote Port” eld, enter the remote port number of the Smart MatriX LE you wish to control (see
also “Working with the Smart MatriX LE”, p. 28).

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.

42

5-2. WORKING WITH THE RCS

Source input conguration

Once your Smart MatriX 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 Smart MatriX 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 Smart MatriX 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.

43

Layer transitions & effects

!

The Smart MatriX 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 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.

For titling or DSK Mode, it is important to proceed through the following steps:

PIP 1 --> Source --> Keying

The SMX100 does not display a PIP without keying. The result is a display to black.

Creating Presets

The Smart MatriX 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. 43), 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.

44

Working with Presets

The four Smart MatriX 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

the Take button to view the result on your main
screen.

Working with Audio

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

7-3. EXTERNAL PROGRAMMING

If you need to use your own Software Control program from a PC or
automation, the device allows communication through an ASCII code

protocol. All commands can be found on the CD-Rom shipped with the
Smart MatriX LE in the “External Programming” le.

Information can also be found in the “Progrmmer’s Guide” on certain

media or documentation (website, CD-Rom,...).

All Analog Way products equipped with a RS-232 input are compatible

with Crestron, AMX, Medialon, and most major control systems. TCP/
IP control ports are also available on most Analog Way products, as
standard or as options.

To control a Smart MatriX LE product with an External Remote
Controller (PC Software Control - Touch Pad Controller…) follow the
indications below:

1. First establish a RS-232 communication between the Remote
Control Software and the Smart MatriX LE, in order to setup the
LAN parameters of the product.

2. In the “Control” - “Smart MatriX LE LAN Setup” menu, congure
the connection of the Smart MatriX LE in UDP mode and setup

the Local and Remote Addresses as well as the Local and
Remote Ports in concordance with your Network.

3. Congure the TCP/IP address of your External Remote Controller.

For example: 192.168.000.001

4. Setup the UDP connection of your External Remote Controller in
concordance with your Network.

In example on the Remote Software in the “Control” - “RS-232/

LAN Setup” - “LAN/Setup” menu.

5. Setup the LAN parameters in UDP mode in the “Console” - “LAN
Setup” menu.

For example: RK Address: 192.168.000.002
Remote Address: 192.168.000.010

Gateway Address: 192.168.000.001

RK Port: 10500
Remote Port: 10500

Netmask: 255.255.255.000

6. Select the LAN communication port in the remote controller

console - “RS232/LAN port” menu.

7. You can now control your Smart MatriX LE with an External
Remote Controller.
