PDS is a high-quality dual-channel presentation switcher designed to provide true
seamless switching between various input sources. The PDS-902 offers all the features of
the PDS-901, and it adds a scaled Preview mode that supports sizing and adjusting input
layers before taking them to Program. High-quality image scaling is maintained throughout.

PDS offers straightforward and simple operating modes, and is ideal for use in live events,
company boardrooms, hotel ballrooms, houses of worship, and in education and training
facilities. As the ideal “simple” presentation switcher to learn and operate,
PDS provides a full-screen output or PIP capability (with release 3.00 or higher).

PDS accepts analog, DVI, and HD-SDI input sources and converts them to a wide variety
of output formats. Output video is provided on analog and DVI connectors simultaneously.
PDS also allows you to capture and store up to three images to be used as full-screen
logos during the presentation.

The major features of the PDS system are:

• The system supports input and output resolutions up to UXGA, including all HD

resolutions up to 1080p, eliminating the need to create custom output formats.
NTSC and PAL are supported as inputs only.

Note

PDS • User’s Guide 3

Typically, outputs cannot be interlaced. An exception is the
SDI output on the PDS 3G series, which supports interlaced
outputs.

NK==fенкзЗмЕнбзе

About the PDS

• The PDS supports DVI, analog computer and video formats on the DVI-I inputs.
~ HDCP protocol is supported, and the PDS is considered an HDCP

repeater in this configuration. Incoming encrypted data is encrypted
going out, and all analog outputs, plus the freeze and LOGO store
functions are disabled when the PDS processes HDCP content. Refer to

the “A Word About HDCP

” section on page 5 for more details.

~ 1080i RGB input is supported on the DVI digital input.

• A Preview mode lets you view and adjust layers before moving them to Program.

• The PDS stores and recalls up to three full-screen logos.

• The system provides true seamless switching between all inputs, including one of

the three stored full-screen logos.

• An Auto Take feature (in the User Preference Menu) supports transitioning from

one input source to another without pressing TAKE.

• The following scaling and de-interlacing features are provided:
~ 10-bit scaling
~ 10-bit 4:2:2 de-interlacer with diagonal filter
~ 150 MHz maximum pixel rate
~ Low video delay: Interlaced sources, 3 fields (max)

• The PDS provides the ability to “auto acquire” input sources. The system monitors

inputs at all times, and if a timing change occurs, the system automatically
reacquires and displays the source — once the timing has been measured.

• The PDS offers simple and intuitive menus:
~ Presentations can be switched without accessing any setup menus.

• Two front-panel lockout modes enable you to lock out menu access, either

completely or partially.The PDS provides an integrated test pattern generator.

• The PDS offers an HD/SD/3G SDI input as standard.

• A built-in web-based GUI enables you to perform all setup and transition

functions, just like the front panel.

• The File Association feature provides the ability to save and recall up to 64 input

configuration files, and associate each of them with one or more inputs.

About the PDS

^=tçêÇ=^Äçìí=ea`m

The PDS supports High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP), an industry-wide
content protection system designed to prevent illegal copying of digital audio and video
content across interfaces such as DisplayPort (DP), High-Definition Multimedia Interface
(HDMI), and Digital Visual Interface (DVI). HDCP prevents the display of encrypted content
on devices that do not support content protection.

®

The HDCP format was designed by Intel
key exchange” procedure to accomplish the required protection. For proper
implementation, products that are compatible with the HDCP format require a secure
connection to a compliant display, such as a projector or monitor.

When an HDCP-compliant display is connected to the PDS, an HDCP “session” is created.
In this session (which is transparent to the user), “keys” are exchanged between the source
device (e.g., a Blu-Ray player) and the HDCP-compliant display. The source device queries
the display to ensure that the equipment is HDCP compliant before video is displayed.
Non-HDCP equipment such as a PC will work with any DVI-compliant display, but HDCP­compliant equipment shows protected content only on HDCP-compliant displays.

With the HDCP option enabled, the PDS accepts encrypted content from an external
source, decrypts the signal for internal processing such as scaling or color balance, then
re-encrypts the output video for display. During this process, all PDS output connectors that
are not HDCP-compliant are turned off, when the protected content is selected to be shown
on those outputs. In addition, if a non-HDCP compliant monitor is connected to the DVI
Program output, Preview will show Black for an HDCP source regardless of the HDCP
capability of the DVI monitor connected to the Preview output. This is to maintain the true
"look-ahead" preview functionality of the PDS.

This feature is available on the PDS DVI input and output connections.

Please note the following important points:

• You can turn the HDCP option on or off. If the option is turned off and the signal is

encrypted, the PDS does not send the signal to the output device.

Connectivity Diagram

`зееЙЕнбобну=aб~Цк~г

The figure below illustrates a basic PDS system.

Figure 1-1. Block diagram, PDS system

In the diagram:

• Up to nine sources can be connected to the PDS:
~ 4 x analog inputs (on HD-15 connectors), for a variety of YUV and

RGBHV sources, including CVBS and Y/C.

~ 4 x DVI inputs, for computer sources. These four DVI connectors also

support analog RGB inputs, and these inputs are universal, and accept
all types of sources — just like the four HD-15 connectors. (To connect

analog sources, use a customer-supplied DVI to HD-15 adapter.)

~ 1 x SD-SDI, HD-SDI, or 3G-SDI input.

• The PDS 902 connects to a Preview monitor via analog or DVI.

• The PDS connects to a projector (or other target device) via analog or DVI.

In Chapter 2, refer to the “Inputs Section” heading on page 10 for details on all inputs.

The buttons in the Inputs Section enable you to select the source that you want to

transition to Program. Each button corresponds to the similarly numbered input connector
on the rear panel. You can also select the full screen LOGO as the transition source.

There are three button states:

• Off — the input is not selected for a transition.

• Blinking — the input is “pending” for the next transition.
~ When a button is blinking slow, it is ready to be transitioned to Program.

Note

If an input button is blinking slow, and the Status Menu
shows “Invalid Signal,” the system has attempted to acquire

the source, but has failed.

• Lit Solid — the input is on Program.

In Chapter 4, refer to the “Flip-flop Mode
about button behavior when TAKE is pressed.

Following are descriptions of each “input” button in the section:

Safety Precautions

p~СЙну=mкЙЕ~мнбзел=

For all PDS installation procedures, observe the following important safety and handling
rules to avoid damage to yourself and the equipment:

• To protect users from electric shock, ensure that the power supplies for each unit

connect to earth via the ground wire provided in the AC power cord.

• The AC Socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and be easily

accessible.

rей~ЕвбеЦ=~еЗ=fелйЙЕнбзе=

Before opening the PDS shipping box, inspect it for damage. If you find any damage, notify
the shipping carrier immediately for all claims adjustments. As you open the box, compare
its contents against the packing slip. If you find any shortages, contact your sales
representative.

The PDS shipping box contains the PDS unit, a power cord, and a CD. Once you have
removed all the components from their packaging and checked that all the components are
present, visually inspect the unit to ensure there was no damage during shipping. If there is
damage, notify the shipping carrier immediately for all claims adjustments.

páíÉ=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=

The environment in which you install your PDS should be clean, properly lit, free from
static, and have adequate power, ventilation, and space for all components.

o~ÅâJjçìåí=fåëí~ää~íáçå

The PDS chassis is designed to be rack mounted and is supplied with front rack-mount
hardware.

Note

When rack mounting the PDS chassis, remember the following important points:

• Maximum ambient operating temperature for the unit is 40 degrees C.

• Leave at least one inch of space (front and rear) to ensure that the airflow through

the fan and vent holes is not restricted.

• When installing multiple units into a rack, distribute them evenly to prevent

hazardous conditions that may be created by uneven weight distribution.

The PDS chassis can also be used in a “tabletop”
configuration, without rack mounting.

18 PDS • User’s Guide

3. Installation

Cable and Adapter Information

• Rack mount each PDS chassis from the front rack ears using four rack screws

(not supplied). Rack threads may be metric or otherwise — depending upon the
rack type.

• Install the lower of the two mounting holes first.

The PDS is rated to operate with the following specifications:

Input Power: 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz
Power Consumption: 100 Watts maximum

The PDS performs line voltage selection automatically. No user controls are required. The
AC power cords must be accessible so that they can be removed during field servicing.

Warning

When the PDS is used in the 230-volt
mode, a UL listed line cord rated for 250
volts at 15 amps must be used and must
conform to IEC-227 and IEC-245
standards. This cord will be fitted with a
tandem prong-type plug.

The rear panel ON/OFF switch does not
disconnect the unit from input AC power.
To facilitate disconnection of AC power,
the power cord must be connected to an
accessible outlet near the unit.

Building Branch Circuit Protection:

For 115 V use 20 A. For 230 V use 8 A.

Figure 4-6. Setup Menu (sample)

For all setup menus, please note the following important menu rules and conventions:

• The top line names the current menu, in all capital letters.

• Subsequent lines typically display two fields:
~ For a listed function, the left-hand field names the function, and the

right-hand field is the function’s current parameter or value.

~ For a listed sub-menu, the left-hand field names the sub-menu that you

can access, and the right-hand field displays the double arrow (>>),

indicating that a sub-menu is available.

• The “navigation” cursor (>) in the left-hand column indicates the current line on

which action can be taken. This arrow “scrolls” as you rotate the knob.

• Scrolling:
~ Turn the ADJUST knob counter-clockwise (CCW) to scroll down.
~ Turn the ADJUST knob clockwise (CW) to scroll up.

• To enter a sub-menu, scroll to the desired line and press SEL.

Note

Throughout this chapter, the term “select” is used as an
abbreviation for “scroll to a menu line and press SEL.”

 Select the Input field to...

• To change a parameter, scroll to the desired line and press SEL. The cursor

changes to the “edit” cursor (

#). Use the ADJUST knob to modify the value:

~ Turn the ADJUST knob CW to increase a value.
~ Turn the ADJUST knob CCW to decrease a value.

• To accept a parameter or value, press SEL. The edit cursor changes back to the

navigation cursor.

Note

You must press SEL to activate a PDS function.

• In the “edit” mode, to exit (or cancel) without changing the original parameter,

press

ESC.

• To navigate back up the menu structure, press ESC. Each press takes you back

up the menu tree by one level.

30 PDS • User’s Guide

4. Operation

Using the Menu System

• The SEL button is also used to answer “Yes” to certain menu queries. The ESC

button is also used to answer “No” to certain menu queries.

Note

The display itself is four lines high, and the ADJUST knob is

used to scroll through the various lines. Throughout this

chapter, entire menus will be shown for clarity — rather than a

series of four-line sections.

• If a value is displayed between brackets, (e.g., [SMPTE]) this indicates that the

value can not be changed.

The Auto Acquire field is only adjustable between ON and OFF when Auto Acquire is set
to INPUT in the User Preference Menu (refer to the “User Preference Menu

page 60).

When Auto Acquire is ON, and an input has a saved configuration file, the system

attempts to use the saved file. If the input timing matches the timing in the saved
configuration file, the saved file is used.

The system always performs a full sync (timing) acquisition on the selected input signal
under the following conditions:

” section on

• When an input without a saved configuration file is selected

• When the input type is changed

• When the input signal’s sync rate is changed

• When an input with a saved configuration file is selected, but the input timing is

different from the saved configuration

When Auto Acquire is ON, and the input source is non-digital, the system uses the

following library search order:

• Saved configuration files defined in the File Association Menu for each input

channel

• The user’s library of saved files

• A best guess

When Auto Acquire is ON, and the input source is digital, the system uses the following

search order:

• Saved configuration files defined in the File Association Menu for each input

channel

• The user’s library of saved files

PDS • User’s Guide 41

4. Operation

Setup Menu

• Direct measurement of the signal

If the input signal’s timing is too different from the saved configuration, a good lock may not

be possible. In this situation, the “Invalid Signal” message is displayed, and the video
output will be black. You will also see “Invalid Signal” if the configuration file for an input

has been deleted.

When Auto Acquire is OFF, dial in your timing parameters manually.

Please note the following important points:

• It is recommended that you leave the Auto Acquire mode ON. Then, if the timing

changes on any input (whether or not you have a saved config file), you will

always get an output image. On the other hand, if the mode is OFF and the input

timing changes, the output will be black.

• When the Auto Acquire mode is ON, the PDS automatically detects and acquires

the input video type and resolution (in most cases), and limits menu selections to
those applicable to the detected video type.

• If you are an advanced user and you know the exact timing parameters for your

input(s), you can turn the Auto Acquire mode OFF, and dial in your timing

parameters manually.

Tip

If you have already saved configuration files for your inputs, it

is recommended that you turn the Auto Acquire mode OFF.

This provides the fastest transition times. When the mode is

ON, transition times will be greater, due to the time required

to analyze the input timing for each source.

Note

Note

For both H Size and V Size, the function always cuts into the

visible image, equally on both sides, and never exposes
video outside the source’s active area. As you size, the
PDS scales the input up to fit the selected aspect ratio.

The maximum allowable H/V size is up to 33% of the input's
corresponding active area. For example, for a 1280x1024

input, the maximum H Size is 422 and the maximum V Size

is 336.

aspect ratio. Values are in lines. The value reads [0] if the image has

not been sized vertically.

Note

If both H Size and H Position are greater than 0, and H Size
is adjusted so that it approaches 0, at a calculated limit, H

The PDS supports saving up to 64 input configuration files in non-volatile memory, each of

which is available to the nine physical inputs (1 through 8 and SDI).

Input configuration files contain settings that govern everything from pixel resolution to

aspect ratio and color balance — any setting you can view or change using the Input
Menu. By default, an input’s configuration file number is the same as the number of the

input — Input 1 is assigned to configuration file number 1, and so on. You can set, delete,
save, or recall the configuration file for an input. You can associate any number of saved
files to any number of inputs.

When you change the configuration file for an input, the timing in the new configuration file
must match the input’s timing. For example, if the input uses NTSC (720 x 480) timing, that
input cannot use a configuration file that uses WXGA (1280 X 768).

When you delete user-defined configuration files, those files are no longer available for use
by any input.

4. Operation

Setup Menu

Note that transition times are specified for switching applications with Auto
Acquire turned OFF. When Auto Acquire is ON, the transition time is greater,

due to the additional time required to analyze the input video timing.

Transition values are listed below:

• Adjustment range: 0.0 - 12.0 seconds (0.0 is a cut)

• Default: 1.0 seconds

^мнз=^ЕимбкЙ

The Auto Acquire function enables or disables the Input > “Auto Acquire“mode, which
acquires a signal for the input. Values for Auto Acquire are: ALLOFF, ALL ON (default),
and Input.

When Auto Acquire is ALL ON, and an input has a saved configuration file, the system

attempts to use the saved file. If the input timing matches the timing in the saved
configuration file, the saved file is used.

The system always performs a full sync (timing) acquisition on the selected input signal
under the following conditions:

• When an input without a saved configuration file is selected

• When the input type is changed

• When the input signal’s sync rate is changed

• When an input with a saved configuration file is selected, but the input timing is

different from the saved configuration

When Auto Acquire is ALL ON, and the input source is non-digital, the system uses the

following library search order:

• Saved configuration files defined in the File Association Menu for each input

channel

• The user’s library of saved files

• A best guess

When Auto Acquire is ALL ON, and the input source is digital, the system uses the

following search order:

• Saved configuration files defined in the File Association Menu for each input

channel

• The user’s library of saved files

• Direct measurement of the signal

If the input signal’s timing is too different from the saved configuration, a good lock may not

be possible. In this situation, the “Invalid Signal” message is displayed, and the video
output will be black. You will also see “Invalid Signal” if the configuration file for an input

has been deleted.

When Auto Acquire is INPUT, Auto Acquire can be adjusted to be ON or OFF on an Input
by Input basis within the Input setup menu.

Please note the following important points:

• It is recommended that you leave the Auto Acquire mode ALL ON. Then, if the

timing changes on any input (whether or not you have a saved config file), you will

always get an output image. On the other hand, if the mode is ALLOFF and the

input timing changes, the output will be black.

PDS • User’s Guide 61

4. Operation

Setup Menu

• When the Auto Acquire mode is ALL ON, the PDS automatically detects and

acquires the input video type and resolution (in most cases), and limits menu
selections to those applicable to the detected video type.

• If you are an advanced user and you know the exact timing parameters for your

input(s), you can turn the Auto Acquire mode ALLOFF, and dial in your timing

parameters manually.

Tip

If you have already saved configuration files for your inputs, it

is recommended that you turn the Auto Acquire mode

ALLOFF. This provides the fastest transition times. When

the mode is ALL ON, transition times will be greater, due to

the time required to analyze the input timing for each source.

The Auto Input Cfg function enables or disables the automatic input configuration mode. Values are: ON and OFF (default).

Note

This is the “automatic” version of the manual Auto Input Cfg
mode, which is located in the Input Sizing Menu. Refer to
the “Sizing Adjust” section on page 43 for details.

• When ON, the system automatically finds the first and last pixel on each edge of

the selected input, and ensures (to the best possible extent) that the entire image
is visible. In addition, the system automatically phases the input to determine the
correct sampling phase.

These functions will only be performed under the following conditions:

~ When an input without a saved configuration file is selected.
~ When the input signal changes sync rates.
~ When an input with a saved configuration file is selected, but the input

timing is different from the saved configuration.

• When OFF, the system uses the last known configuration for each input, to the

greatest extent possible.

^ìíç=fåéìí=p~îÉ

When the Auto Input Save mode is enabled, the system automatically saves the selected input after it has been acquired for the first time. If the Auto Acquire mode is OFF, the field has no effect. The default is OFF.

The following functions are available:

• Input — selects the exact inputs that you wish to set: ALL (inputs 5 through 8), 5

(individually), 6 (individually), 7 (individually), or 8 (individually).

Note

Inputs 5 through 8 do not need to be selected on the front

panel for this menu to change, and to apply the equalization
settings.

• Equalization — The equalization adjustment range is from 0 (short cable

equalization) to 15 (long cable equalization). The default value is 12, which

indicates “moderate” equalization.

In general, the default should be adequate for most users, unless cables longer
than 5M are used, and unless your signals are running at high pixel clock rates
(e.g., UXGA).

• Set to Default — sets the Equalization field to the default setting of 12.

Note

Equalization is a subjective “visual” adjustment, which
depends on three important factors: cable length, signal
quality and cable quality. If you adjust the equalization,
optimize the setting for the lowest amount of visual artifacts.

• Set to Maximum — sets the Equalization field to the maximum setting of 15.

• Set to Minimum — sets the Equalization field to the minimum setting of 0.

From the System Menu, select File Association to display the File Association Menu,

which enables you to select or change a configuration file for each of nine physical inputs

(1 through 8 and SDI). The configuration file contains settings that govern everything from

pixel resolution to aspect ratio and color balance — any setting you can change using the

Input Menu. The PDS can store up to 64 input configuration files in non-volatile memory.

Each time you press an input button, the PDS uses the configuration file associated with
that input. The file is designated by a number from 1 to 64. The default file for each input is
the same as the input number—Input 1 uses configuration file 1, and so on. The default file
for the SDI input is 9.

You can view and change the current setting for each input by using the File Association Menu, shown in the following illustration:

Please note the following important points regarding the Auto Acquire mode:

• If Auto Acquire is ON and a valid input is selected that does not have a saved

Input Config file associated with it, the system attempts to acquire the source and

save an Input Config file. This process may take a few moments.

Using Inputs

Note

The Input Config file will only be saved if the "Auto Input
Save" mode is ON in the User Preference Menu.

• If an input is selected that does have a saved Input Config file associated with it,

the (blinking) source will transition to program after TAKE is pressed.

• When the system performs an Auto Acquire for Inputs 5 through 8, the PDS first

checks for a DVI signal. If not found, the system looks for a valid analog signal.

• If Auto Acquire is OFF and a valid input is selected (either with or without a

saved Input Config file), the system compares the library file to the input’s

incoming timing.

~ If the timings match, the system transitions to the input after TAKE is

pressed.

~ If the timings do not match, the “Invalid Signal” message appears, and

the system transitions to black after TAKE is pressed.

• Inputs 1 through 4 (analog) are unprotected sources.

• Inputs 5 through 8 (analog) are unprotected sources.

• Inputs 5 through 8 (digital) are protected when an HDCP source is connected.

Please note the following important points regarding HDCP operations:

• When the input signal is an HDCP source on DVI inputs 5 through 8 and a valid

HDCP monitor is connected, the following actions occur:

~ The PDS’s analog output is disabled.
~ You cannot store a logo from a “protected” source. However,
