INTRODUCTION

1-1. THE STE200 OPERATING MODE

Before you start setting up your STE200 for the rst time, be sure you know what you actually want to do with it. The STE200 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 STE200” chapter, p26).

Edge Blending Mode

This mode allows for a single STE200 to seamlessly switch and blend any of its 12 analog/digital inputs with any other of the inputs. The Edge Blending Mode is the STE200 native mode, and with no less than 4 layers (1 background Live + 1PIP + 1 logo + 1 background frame).

1-2. USEFUL TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

LAYER: a “Layer” is an image display element (such as a Key) that has an associated visual priority — either

in front of background Live.

The STE200 can simultaneously view no less than 4 layers (1 background Live and 1 layer like a key or 2 PIPs on a background frame + 1 logo).

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. STE200 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.

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 disappearance of frames on the Main output is normal when saving frames.

A frame captures the state of the output at the 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 with an Analog Way Controller or RCS

It is possible to store up to 4 frames in the STE200 non volatile memory. Frames are mainly used as backgrounds in a typical show or event setup, and can be recorded from any of the STE200’s

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 can be placed only in the background Frame layer.

Opening transitions & closing Still Layers (Logos or Frames)

When transitioning still layers, depending on how many scalers are in use, the STE200 [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 disappearance of logos on Main output is normal when saving logos.

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 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.

Working with Audio with an Analog Way Controller

The STE200 allows to work with up to 8 stereo inputs, 1 auxiliary input, and 4 stereo embedded SDI audio inputs (via the SDI BNC connectors), all accessible via the Audio menu of the STE200, and which can be assigned to one or both of the 2 independant symetrical/asymetrical outputs of the device.

Working with DSK (Chroma / Luma key) (using RCS or Analog Way Controller)

- STE200 allows to use a live source with green or blue (or any color) background and to key it over another

live input.

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

To use keying, rst select a source in the desired layer (using RCS or Analog Way Controller):

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 STE200 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 medium

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 Visible Picture

Black level

Keyed Away

White 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 luminance 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 luminance 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.

How to do a Soft Edge Blending ?

- What is Soft Edge Blending?

Soft Edge Blending is essentially a term used for creating a large screen image using multiple video projectors with seamless overlapping areas. Creating a seamless image across a wide surface is important if one

wishes to display different elements on multiple screens, with the exibility of merging all the images into one

large, panoramic display.

The Soft Edge Blending is often used in Rental and Staging, live events, corporate, government and church

market.

- Soft Edge Blending conguration

To make an image as seamless as possible, the rst element you need to consider is the conguration of your

projection. You will also have to know which video projectors you plan to use. The quality of your projectors will have a direct impact on the end result of the Soft Edge. The video projectors

must be physically aligned to provide an image on the screen within one pixel precision, with no distortion. They need to be perfectly horizontal and perpendicular to the screen in both the horizontal and the vertical axes. This alignment must also include an overlap between the projectors of from 10 to 25 percent of the total

screen width.

Now that your video projectors are perfectly positioned, you can begin to adjust the settings that will create your seamless blend.

- Soft Edge Blending Adjustments

Right angle

The principle of Soft Edge Blending lies in projecting an image on a wide screen thanks to two or more video projectors displaying the same content. Overlapping or covering areas are created on the screen where two

adjacent projectors meet. Basically, each overlap zone receives the light of two video projectors and receives

the content projected twice.

The art of Soft Edge Blending is to harmonize, or blend the overlapping area with the rest of the image. You can use different test patterns provided by your Mixer/Seamless Switcher to make all the necessary

adjustments outside and inside the overlapping area.

To deal with Black level, the solution consists of raising the luminance in the left and right areas of the projection,

outside the overlapping zone, to match the luminance of the overlapping area.

HORIZONTAL POSITION VERTICAL POSITION

* NOTE *:

• If you must move image, latteraly, always move VP.

• When moving image verticaly, use the lens shift on your VP.

NEVER USE KEYSTONE

The solution consists in adjusting the BLACK LEVELS of the image outside the covering area.

- Soft Edge Blending Adjustments (continued)

Finally, since the overlapping zone receives the same image from the video projectors twice, adjustments

have to be done inside the overlapping area.

Making a perfect blend entails gradually decreasing the light provided by the video projector on the left side

of the overlapping zone, while gradually increasing the light provided by the video projector on the right side,

at the same time. With the help of these different adjustments, the overlapping areas are less visible, and you are ready to achieve a projection that is as seamless as possible.

Result is:

- Soft Edge Blending Contents for Projection

To develop an effective presentation, you are encouraged to use

various types of sources: computer, camera, VCR, DVD, BluRay... Many options are possible and they will help you create an

attractive presentation that compellingly conveys your message.

Here are a few tips to obtain the best possible results. To ensure

a successful Edge Blend it is fundamentally important that the image used as the background be at the same resolution and aspect ratio as the blended projection. In other words, the image

needs to t with the size of your screen. If your image is too large,

part of it will not appear on the screen. If too small, the image will not cover the entire surface of the screen, which will not produce a satisfying result.

Screen

To help you calculate the correct screen/picture ratio, Analog Way offer free software to faciltate the calculation of key parameters.

By entering basic information, such as your projector matrix size and your image size, you can automatically obtain all the essential variables (Projector image size, distance between projectors, etc.) to make your Soft Edge. It is also recommended to use a Hi-Res DVI computer source for this background.

The Soft Edge Blended presentation will be much more impressive with contrasted images and saturated colors.

Soft Edge Blending presentations will offer you the opportunity to change the overall look of a space in a few minutes. With the

exibility of displaying multiple sources of video, with the option

of merging the image into one, the impact of your services and

presentations is increased exponentially.

Smooth Move

The smooth Move function manages a different time between the opening and closing transition. The movement is both fast and slow. The function is enabled or disabled in Menu Layer of the controller.

Audio conguration

REMOTE CONTROL SOFTWARE

5-1. THE STE200 RCS

RCS presentation

The RCS is a powerful tool to exploit all the features of your STE200 at distance. By LAN or RS-232, 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 very quickly be able to manipulate the RCS tool.

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 STE200 is composed of several easily identied sections.

The tabs menu (1) allows you to navigate through the equivalent of the STE200 front panel menu items (see also “The STE200 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 STE200. 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, Analog Way engineers have even implemented a [STEPBACK] button (8) to quickly return to your previous setup in case of a manipulation error (recall of Preset before [TAKE]). The status section (10) allows for easy monitoring of the connection status.

The RCS software for your STE200 can be viewed as the software version of the STE200 front panel menu section. It allows you to quickly access all of the STE200 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 STE200 you wish to run.

Serial connection

Connect a RS-232 cable between the STE200

1. and your PC, then power on your devices.

Click on the RCS program le on your PC to

run the software.

Click on the “Connections” tab and

select RS-232 as the connection type.

In the dropdown menu, select the COM port number corresponding to the connected device (default is Port Com 1).

Click apply, and wait for devices to

synchronize. The RCS will display the

following connection message: “Device Connected”.

Click on the “Connections” tab to return to the main screen.

Ethernet connection

Connect a crossed RJ45 cable between the STE200 and your PC, then power on your devices. Use a

straight RJ45 cable if connecting through a network switcher.

Click on the RCS program le on your PC to run the software.

Click on the “Connections” tab and select LAN as the connection type.

In the “Remote Address” eld, enter the IP address of the STE200 you wish to control (see also “Working

4. with the STE200”, p.29).

In the “Remote Port” eld, enter the remote port number of the STE200 you wish to control (see also “Working with the STE200”, p. 29).

Click Apply, and wait for devices to synchronize. The RCS will display a connection message.

Click on the “Connections” tab to return to the main screen.

5-2. WORKING WITH THE RCS

Source input conguration

Once your STE200 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 STE200.

6. Click on the “Inputs” tab to return to the main

screen.

* NOTE *: Autosetting mode allows an easy setup of sources. Sometimes problems might appears with

analog or HDCP sources.

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 STE200 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.

Embedded Edge Blending Mode

In Edge Blending mode, Smart Edge FX can drive 2 video-projectors for horizontal or vertical Soft Edge. Used as an 12 input switcher.

IMPORTANT: Before doing the following adjustments, make sure the 2 projectors are the same (mark,

model, type) with same lenses. The projector matrices should be imperatively at the same resolution. The parameters of the 2 projectors should be homogenous (color, gamma, lamp lifetime...). The screen projection should be vertical and perpendicular to the projectors to avoid geometric distortion like bow or keystone. Use only mechanical

lens shifts, and avoid using them in their maximal values. Don’t use wide-angle lenses.

1) Connect your Computer & Video sources to the inputs of the Smart Edge FX and connect the two projectors to the Output #1 & Ouput #2.

- Output #1 = Left projector in horizontal SEB conguration & Top projector in vertical SEB conguration.

- Output #2 = Right projector in horizontal SEB conguration & Bottom projector in vertical SEB conguration.

2) Select the input signal type.

3) Select the output format corresponding to the native matrix of the projectors.

4) Display the centering pattern (Output tab > test pattern > centering).

5) Adjust the test pattern in full screen (matrix) of each projector, with the Auto adjust, position or size adjustment

of the projector. Then align mechanically the projectors to have a covering area between 10 and 20% (of

each matrix) and to have the test pattern well aligned one on top of the other. As required, you can use the

burst pattern available in the output tab to adjust your projector.

• Example: Test pattern in horizontal SE conguration.

Top and bottom not aligned.

Projectors well aligned.

Too small covering area.

Edges not paralleled.

6) Adjust and size each input so that they are full screen in the test pattern.

- For computer sources: click on the Centering button in the Image main tab. As required, adjust the position

with the H & V position adjustments.

- For video sources: Select the Image main tab and adjust the position with the H & V position adjustments.

7) Select the Horizontal or Vertical edge blending mode by clicking on the horizontal or vertical button.

8) Display a Black screen (click on the BLACK button in the input selection row) and click on the Covering button to activate the Covering Pattern.

* NOTE *: Verify that the Soft Edge is not enable (Enable Soft Edge button not activates).

9) Adjust the Covering size so that the test pattern overlaps each other at the junctions of the projectors.

• Example: Test pattern in horizontal SE conguration.

This operation is to match physical covering with software covering value used for calibration of the source covering image area.

10) Select the Black tab to display the following windows:

10-A) Turn OFF the test pattern (Pattern > No Pattern).

10-B) The covering area will appear brighter than the non-covering areas. With the Black level function

adjust the 2 non-covering areas (Left and right) to obtain a uniform dark grey on all the screen: Select the 3 colors and adjust the black level. As required, you can also separately adjust the colors of each

projector with the Red, Green & Blue adjustments.

* NOTE *: Two white lines may appear at the junctions of the covering areas.

White lines

Projected image

(before black level adjustment)

Projected image

(after black level adjustment)

10-C) Use the Black Area function to remove the 2 white lines: adjust the Right & Left function (Top

or Bottom in vertical SE) to remove the white lines. A uniform dark grey image is then displayed.

11) Soft Edge curve explanations & adjustments:

• EXPLANATIONS:

--> The operation consist of attenuate progressively the light diffused of one projector and in the same time

increase symmetrically the light of the other one. Thus, at any point (X) of the covering area, the sum of light (Y1+Y2) provided by each projector must be equal to the light that would be provided by one projector alone.

The luminance curves of each projector are represented as follow:

Luma

Right projector

Left projector

100%

Screen

--> In the software we represent the curve of one projector only: the device automatically calculate the inverted

curve for the other projector of the covering area.

• ADJUSTMENTS:

11-A) Display your background source or display the grey scale pattern (horizontal grey scale pattern for

horizontal Soft Edge and vertical grey scale pattern for vertical Soft Edge) available in the output tab.

11-B) Click on the Enable Soft Edge button to activate the attenuation. The default value of the Soft Edge

curves is also applied. The covering area may appear brighter or darker than the other areas of the screen.

11-C) Adjust the Soft Edge Curve in order to have a uniform image:

Move the 2 points of a curve by clicking on the arrows in the Bezier tab or directly by clicking-hold on

a point and drag. Then click on the Send button to display the adjustments.

* NOTE *:

• To ease the adjustment, one Soft Edge curve is available. Then according to your observation, keep the

best curve.

• Most of the time, Bezier curves gives a good and easy to get adjustment. Nevertheless experi-

enced user can try adjustments. Click on the line to have access to more adjustments (11-C).
