2 PresentationPRO-II • User’s Guide

qЙкгл=~еЗ=aЙСбебнбзел

The following terms and definitions are used throughout this guide:

• A “Background” is an unscaled source, typically originating from a computer.

PresentationPRO-II enables you to work with one background source which
appears at the system’s lowest priority — visually in back of all other sources.

• The abbreviation “BG” is also used throughout this guide for Background.

• A “Key” is an electronic (and visual) process whereby one image is electronically

superimposed over another source or a background. Keys are typically used for
titles and banners.

• A “Layer” is an image display element (such as a PIP, Key or Background) th at

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

• A “LOGO” is a full screen image that is selected from one of three still frames that

you can capture with PresentationPRO-II.

• A “Mixer” is the electronic circuitry that enables you to transition (and scale) PIPs

and Keys over a background. PresentationPRO-II has one internal mixer, capable
of layering either one PIP or one key.

• “Operator” refers to the person who uses the system.

• “PIP” refers to Picture-in-Picture, an on-screen effect in which one “scaled” picture

(typically of reduced size) is positioned over a background image. PIPs can be
reduced, enlarged, bordered, shadowed, and mixed on and off Program.

• “Screen” and “Menu” both refer to the Touch Screen menus.

• “System” refers to the PresentationPRO-II.

• A “Scaler” is the electronic circuitry that enables you to reduce or enlarge source

images, thus creating PIPs and Keys that can be positioned (and transitioned).

The PresentationPRO-II is a compact switching system that simplifies the task of
supporting professional quality visual presentations, such as live events and presentations
in corporate boardrooms and church services. PresentationPRO-II is offered in two
configurations — SDI and HD.

• The SDI Model offers eight analog inputs on HD-15 connectors, one unscaled

high-resolution DVI input for a background or Downstream Key (DSK) source,
plus one SD-SDI input.

• The HD Model also offers eight analog inputs, one DVI input (for a background or

DSK source), plus one SD-SDI/HD-SDI input.

Each model combines an eight-input video router, Barco’s high performance proprietary
Athena scaler, and a full-featured control panel in a single integrated package. The eight
universal analog inputs accept standard component and composite analog video formats
(NTSC, PAL, SECAM), computer resolutions up to UXGA, analog HD formats including
720p, 1080i, 1080p and Plasma display resolutions.

The Barco Athena scaler features 1:1 pixel sampling, motion adaptive de-interlacing for
both standard and high definition sources, 3:2 and 2:2 pull down detection, low video delay
and aspect ratio correction. The operator can also capture and store still frames for use as
a background, DSK or LOGO source.

Each unit incorporates one analog and one DVI output, and supports output computer
resolutions up to 1600x1200, analog HDTV resolutions (including 720p and 1080p) and
Plasma display resolutions.

PresentationPRO-II uses three image layers to produce effects:

• One unscaled live background or DSK layer (shared resource)

• One scaled layer

• One LOGO layer

System Overview

^=tçêÇ=^Äçìí=i~óÉêë

PresentationPRO-II is a three layer system, but because the DVI input is shared between
Background and DSK (and only one can be used at a time), the allocation of the layers is
still very flexible:

In the layer example above, the DVI input is used as a background, thus the DSK cannot
be used. Here, users can layer a PIP or Key over the live DVI background, and place the
full-screen LOGO on top.

In the layer example below, the DVI input is used as a DSK, thus it cannot be used as a live
background. However, if the background layer is configured as a matte color, users can
layer a PIP or Key over the matte background, use the DSK on top, and place the full­screen LOGO at the highest priority.

System Overview

A layer is defined as an image display element (such as a background, PIP or Key) with an
associated visual priority. The mixer itself has one layer, which can be assigned to either

PIP or Key functionality.

A typical PresentationPRO-II application is illustrated below.

Figure 1-3. Layer Illustration — Background, Mixer and DSK

Please note the following important points:

• The full screen LOGO is the highest priority layer. This image visually appears

“over” all other layers.

• The Downstream Key (DSK) is the second highest priority layer. It visually

appears over the mixer and the background — but it is “under” the LOGO.

• The high resolution Background is the lowest priority layer, which appears

“behind” all other layers.

• Within the mixer, a PIP appears “over” the background and “under” the DSK and

LOGO. Effects include mixes, wipes, resizing, adjustable aspect ratio, borders,
drop shadows and soft edges.

• Within the mixer, a Key also appears “over” the background and “under” the DSK

and LOGO. Effects include luminance key, reverse (invert) key, and color key
(graphics).

• Up to eight analog inputs and one SD-SDI or HD-SDI input can be scaled to

produce PIP or Key effects.

System Overview

bССЙЕн=`згДбе~нбзел

This section illustrates the many (but not all) combinations of image effects that you can
create on the PresentationPRO-II. Please note:

The PresentationPRO-II system provides one background, one scalable layer, a DSK and
a full screen LOGO. The LOGO, DSK and background are always unscaled.

• In the following illustrations, the specific layers used in creating each effect are

labeled (e.g.,

PIP, Key).

• The symbol ↓↑ denotes a PIP, key or DSK that can transition.

S Example: PIP ↓↑ indicates that you can dissolve a PIP up or down over a

background.

Safety Precautions

p~СЙну=mкЙЕ~мнбзел=

For all PresentationPRO-II installation procedures, please observe the following important
safety and handling rules to avoid damage to yourself and the equ ipment:

• To protect users from electric shock, ensure that the chassis connects 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 PresentationPRO-II 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.

Once you have removed all the components from their packaging and checked that all the
listed components are present, visually inspect the system 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 PresentationPRO-II should be clean, properly lit,
free from static, and have adequate power, ventilation, and space for all components.

o~ÅâJjçìåí=fåëí~ää~íáçå

The PresentationPRO-II chassis is designed to be rack mounted and is supplied with front
rack-mount hardware. Rear rack-mount brackets are available as a kit and are
recommended for use when units are mounted in transit cases.

Note

When rack mounting the PresentationPRO-II 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 PresentationPRO-II chassis can also be used in a
“tabletop” configuration, without rack mounting.

There are two situations in which the Input Acquisition Menu can appear:

1. After a factory reset has been performed, the Input Acquisition Menu

automatically appears when you first select a source — but

prior to pressing

TRANS for the first time. As each source button is pressed, the system acquires

the video and displays the menu. The following options are available:

~ Press {SAVE } to save the source and display the Input Menu, or ...
~ Press {INPUT} to display the Input Menu without saving the source.

In this way, you can quickly acquire and save all nine inputs.

2. After TRANS has been pressed for the first time, the Input Acquisition Menu will

appear when you (a) select a source that has
press

TRANS to transition that source to Program. Here also, the menu is

displayed and you can save the source.

Once the source has been saved, the

Input Acquisition Menu will not be shown again,

unless the system discovers that video is not present.
If you select a source and there is a video mismatch, if video is not present or if the

acquisition fails, one of the following messages will appear:

File mismatch or no video
detected.

Figure 4-47. Frame Grab Menu (sample)

The Frame Grab Menu enables you to capture still frames into the system’s three internal
frame stores. The “source” of the still frames is the system’s

BG/DSK input or the scaled

inputs.
Once captured, a still frame can be assigned as the input “type ” f or

BG, the DSK or the

LOGO source.

The three frame stores utilize PresentationPRO-II’s

“temp” (temporary) memory for on-air

production. During operation, you can overwrite the memory with new captured stills as
desired — as it takes only a few seconds to capture a still. Note that stills in “temp”
memory are lost when the system is powered down.

You can also store three stills in “permanent” flash memory, which will not be lost when the
system is powered down. At bootup, the contents of flash memory is read into “temp”
memory for use on-air. It t akes several minutes to save a still into permanent memory, and
this procedure should not be performed on-air. Permanent frames can also be overwritten.

Note

The contents of a layer can also be captured. In Chapter 6,
refer to the “

Capturing Still Frames ” section on page 117 for

details.
