INTRODUCTION

1-1. THE SQD200 OPERATING MODE

Before you start setting up your SQD200 for the rst time, be sure you know exactly what you want to do with it. The SQD200 offers a 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 SQD200” chapter).

QUADRAVISION MODE

This mode allows to display up to four live windows, while preserving seamless switching capabilities. Several templates are available. The quadravision mode can simultaneously view no less than 6 layers (4 video or live layers, 1 frame layer or background and 1 logo layer).

1-2. USEFUL TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

BACKGROUND: a Background is a source, typically originating from a computer. SQD200 enables you to

work with live or still (frame) background sources - visually behind 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 of or behind another layer.

The SQD200 can simultaneously view no less than 6 layers (4 video or live layers, 1 frame layer or background

and 1 logo layer).

SQD200 can insert up to 3 PIPs on a live background, or 4 PIPs on a background Frame.

LAYER HIERARCHY

Logo 1

Layer D (W4)

The Layers are labelled [W1]

to [W4] on the front panel.

Layer C (W3)

Layer B (W2)

Layer A (W1)

Background Frame

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. The PIPs or Layers are labelled [W1] to [W4] on the front panel.

SQD200 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 7 still frames which you can

capture with the SQD200. A Frame can be ash captured from any video or computer source plugged into the machine (7 max).

LOGO: a Logo is a partiel screen image that can be ash captured from any Video or Computer source, by

keying or image cut-out. SQD200 can record up to 7 still logos. They can be positioned anywhere on the screen.

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. SQD200 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-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) content from your sources, make sure that you use HDCP compliant screens or projectors. If not, 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 you to 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 with all information about the output in real time.

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

is well handled.

To summarize all HDCP status, please see in the Control Menu --> HDCP Summary.

Capturing still Frames

To capture a frame, display the exact content you want to save on one of your outputs, at the exact resolution, you can use the [FREEZE] button if you want. Then follow this step:

Logos/Frames menu → record Frame menu→ Frame #

Choose the frame number slot and wait until the unit to 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 capture can be done the Main output or the Preview output,

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

A frame save 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.

Attempting to use a Frame at a different resolution will result in a partial Frame display or a Frame which does not ll

the step.

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 7 frames in the SQD200 non volatile memory. Frames are mainly used as backgrounds in a typical show or event setup, and can be recorded from any of the SQD200’

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

You can save up to 7 logos with the SQD200.

The capture of logos can be done only with the following conditions:

- The capture can be done on the Main output or the Preview output (selected source),

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

The logos are captured with the same size as is visible on the Main output without any form of adjustments. If zooming is required resize the PIP or use the layer or input zoom.

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 noncaptured 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 menu “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 not be captured but 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”.

SQD200 Motion Correction

This item gives information about the new “Motion correction” setting added in the SQD200 device.

- Aim of the “Motion Correction” setting:

The aim of the “motion correction” setting is to correct a “comb effect” sometime visible on SQD200 device. From the front panel, a new setting has been added in the Menu/Image/Advanced section.

- Typical case:

The “comb effect” appears only with moving interlaced input pictures, with vertical scaling, more with medium contrasted images and mainly with interlaced output format.

The default value of this setting is 0 for standard motion correction, and can be increased up to 100 for fullmotion correction. The correct level must be adjusted according to the image, preferably not at maximum, in the following examples around 80 or 90.

- Examples:

Here is an example of a worst case scenario, using an analog HD-YUV input signal from an HD camera running in 1080i 50Hz, split in two layers side by side (with and without correction), displayed in interlaced 1080i 50Hz frame locked on the input, with a few scaling.

The camera is panning over a medium contrasted scene as viewed here:

This panned scene is viewed here:

Select rst the Aspect In then Adjust the Aspect Out.

Aspect In

Provides aspect ratio adjustments for the content of the image. Affects the raster size of content provided to the signal processing chain.

NATIVE *

No adjustment.

LETTER BOX 1.78

Adds black bars to image to create a 1.78 image from a 4:3 signal. Useful when you have 16:9 content that appears correctly in the correct aspect ratio when viewed within a 4:3 format (ie. 1.78 letterboxed DVD).

LETTER BOX 2.35

Adds black bars to image to create a 2.35 image from a 4:3 signal. Useful when you have 2.35 content that appears correctly in the correct aspect ratio when viewed within a 4:3 format (ie. 2.35 letterboxed DVD).

PILLAR BOX

Adds black bars on sides to create a 4:3 image from a 16:9 signal. Useful when you have 4:3 content with black bars on the sides in a 16:9 signal.

ANAMORPHIC

Adds black bars to image to create a 1.78 image from a 4:3 signal, and stretches horizontally, while compressing image vertically to t. Useful when you have 16:9 content that is horizontally squashed when viewed within a 4:3 signal (ie. anamorphic wide screen DVD).

Aspect Out

Provides aspect ratio adjustments for frame in which the image will be displayed.

1:1

No scaling or resizing of any kind is done. Aspect ratio preserved.

CENTERED

The image is scaled until it ts vertically or horizontally, whichever keeps the entire image visible. Aspect ratio preserved, but black bars will be added if necessary.

FULL SCREEN *

The image ts Horizontally and Vertically of the incoming raster ot the output raster. This will compromised the aspect ratio.

CROPPED

The image is scaled until it ts vertically or horizontally, whichever eliminates all black bars. Aspect ratio preserved, but some content will be cropped out of the raster (offscreen).

* default settings

SQD200 Force to 4/3

From the Image Menu

The Force to 4/3 capability allows you to give a 4/3 aspect Ratio to a SDTV Input, this allows you to keep the ratio of a PAL input (ie) shown on a SDTV PAL Output.

REMOTE CONTROL SOFTWARE

5-1. THE SQD200 RCS

RCS presentation

The RCS is a powerful tool to exploit all the features of your SQD200 at a distance. By LAN or RS-232, you will be able to do exactly the same manipulations as is possible from the front panel. User-Friendly and easyto-use, you will very quickly be able to manipulate the RCS tool.

How to use the RCS ?

Firstly make sure that your computer has a LAN or RS232 connection. You can then download the application from our website, install it and follow the instructions below.

Software installation

1. Connect yourself to our website: 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 SQD200 is composed of several easily identied sections. The tabs menu (1) allows you to navigate through the equivalent of the SQD200 front panel menu items (see also “The SQD200 Menu” p.28). 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 SQD200. Create user presets directly in the Preview window, by clicking on one of the four available Preset icons (4) and setting up your preset in the Preview window. Clear unwanted current Preview Preset 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, Analog Way engineers have even implemented a [STEPBACK] button (8) to quickly return to your previous setup in case of a manipulation error. The status section (10) allows for easy monitoring of the connection status.

2 3
