About the DCS-200

cЙ~нмкЙл

The major features of the DCS-200 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

• The DCS-200 supports DVI, analog computer and video formats on the DVI-I

inputs.

~ HDCP protocol is supported, and the DCS-200 is considered an HDCP

repeater in this configuration. Incoming encrypte d data is encrypted

going out, and all analog outputs, plus the freeze and LOGO store functions are disabled when the DCS-200 processes HDCP content. Refer to the “A Word About HDCP” section on page 17 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 DCS-200 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 ~ 165MHz maximum pixel rate ~ Low video delay: Interlaced sources, 3 fields (max)

• The DCS-200 provides the ability to luminance key unscaled DVI sources. Please

note:

~ Keys are set up from the Key Menu. The front panel KEY button is used

to enable or disable the key transition.

~ Key transitions are performed at the same rate as the full screen source

transitions.

~ If the key source resolution is greater than the output resolution, the

DCS-200 only displays an area equal to the output resolution. This area is selectable using the menu.

~ If the key source resolution is less than the output resolution, the key is

centered on screen, and can be moved within the screen boundaries.

• The DCS-200 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 DCS-200 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 DCS-200 provides an integrated test pattern generator.

• The DCS-200 offers an HD/SD 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 DCS-200

^=tçêÇ=^Äçìí=ea`m

HDCP stands for High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection, an industry-wide copy protection scheme that is used to prevent the potential interception of digital data between the source (e.g., a Blu-Ray player) and the target display (e.g., an HDCP compliant display or monitor). 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.

In applications in which a DCS-200 is used, when an HDCP compliant device is connected to the DCS-200, 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 shown. Non-HDCP equipment such as PCs will work with any DVI compliant display, but HDCP compliant equipment only shows “protected” content on HDCP compliant displays.

Please note the following important points:

• When an HDCP compliant device is connected to the DCS-200 and that specific

input is selected, the Status Menu indicates if HDCP is enabled.

• If the “session” determines that the target display device is non-HDCP compliant

(e.g., if the user is attempting to make an illegal copy on an external recorder), an error message appears on the DCS-200’s Status Menu , indicating that video cannot be shown.

• HDCP compliant repeaters cannot be connected to the output of the DCS-200, as

the DCS-200 must be the last device in the HDCP "chain" — prior to the HDCP compliant display. If an HDCP repeater is connected, the message “HDCP Violation” appears on the Status Menu. In Chapter 4, refer to the “Status Menu section on page 44 for additional details.

Control Overview

`зенкзд=lоЙкобЙп

There are several ways to control the DCS-200:

• The front panel is ideal for all basic operations. Available controls include the

Display Section and the buttons in the Inputs Section and the Effects Section.

• The built-in web-based GUI is ideal for intuitive point-and-click operations. Refer

to Chapter 5, “GUI Operations” on page 103 for additional details.

• The DCS-200 can also be controlled remotely via Ethernet or Serial

communications. See Appendix B “Remote Control” on page 127 for additional details.

This section lists the rules and conventions for using DCS-200’s menu system. For reference, the figure below illustrates the Setup Menu:

SETUP MENU > Trans Time 1.0

Output >> Preview >>

Figure 4-7. 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.

4. Operation

Using the Menu System

Note

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

S 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 p ara mete r or val ue, press SEL. The edit cursor changes back to the

navigation cursor.

Note

You must press SEL to activate a DCS-200 function.

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

press

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

up the menu tree by one level.

DCS-200 • User’s Guide 39

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 th an 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.

From the Input Menu, select the top Input Format line to view the “auto-acquired” format for the selected input, or to change the format. The format is shown in the following form:

Hact x Vact @ Vr Hz

S 1024x768@59.94

Please note the following important points:

• If you select an input and it does not have a valid signal, "Invalid Signal" appears.

• If an input was previously valid and its signal is lost, the "Invalid Signal" message

appears.

• When In Auto Acquire is ON (in the User Preferences Menu), the input video

format for non-digital sources will be detected in the following search order:

~ The saved file as defined in the File Association Menu ~ The library of saved configurations for the selected input ~ Standard library formats as defined in Appendix A, in the “Format Table”

section on page 12 2

~ A best guess (to the closest video format in the library)

For digital sources, when In Auto Acquire is ON, the search order is:

~ The saved configuration file as defined in the File Association Menu ~ Your library of saved files ~ A direct measurement of the signal

• If the video format is a “best guess” as determined by the “auto acquire” mode, it

is displayed (only in the Status Menu) within asterisks.

Important

The Timing Adjust Menu does not appear in the menu tree if the analog input is being undersampled for the following resolutions:

• 1920x1080p@60 (173.0 MHz)

• 1920x1200p@60 (193.25 MHz)

• 2048x1080p@60 (183.75 MHz)

The following functions are available:

• Auto Config — This function performs an automatic input configuration on the

analog source on Program. When Auto Config is selected, the DCS-200 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.

Tip

Ensure that there are non-black pixels around the extreme edges of your active video, in order for the image to be properly sized by the Auto Config function. For example, if you use a Windows desktop with a high luminance background, the Auto Config function will be accurate. If, on the other hand, you use a desktop image with a black border, the image will not be properly sized.

Note

Auto Config applies to analog input sources only. This function is identical to the Auto Config function in the Image Adjust Menu.

• Sampling — select this function to change the sampling for the selected input.

Available values are: Oversample and 1:1 (default). Please note:

~ When 1:1 Sampling is selected, the system provides pixel-for-pixel

sampling, and generally better image quality.

~ When Oversample is selected, the system performs multiple samples

for every pixel, with a resulting “softer” image.

~ Oversample is only available for RGB and YP

analog inputs.

bPr

~ All other input types have defined sample clocks that are inherently 1:1.

If the input is set to one of the other types, the value is [1:1].

• H Position — adjusts the offset of start of active area from H sync.

• H Active — sets the size of the active area.

For all Vertical “active area” fields, all unit are measured in lines.

• V To tal — indicates the total line count per frame. This value is measured, and

can never be adjusted. Its value will always be shown in brackets.

The DCS-200 has two A-to-D converters, which are referred to as A and B in the Timing Adjust Menu. The sample phase value of each scaler is initially filled in by the Auto Config command, or set to the default value of 0 (zero). If required, advanced users can

fine-tune the image by adjusting the sample clock phase of each scaler directly — but only for inputs whose “type” is analog.

• Adjustment range: -16 to 15

• Default: 0

 Use the following steps to adjust sample clock phase of each scaler, for inputs whose

“type” is analog.

1. From the Input Menu, navigate to the Timing Adjust Menu, and scroll to the

Phase A or Phase B line.

2. In the Inputs Section, select an input whose “type” is analog.

3. TAKE the input to Program. The button lights solid.

4. Pend the same input for the next transition. In this mode, only one button will now

be lit solid, and no buttons will be blinking.

5. On the Timing Adjust Menu, note that one of the two Phase lines will be

bracketed, and the other will be unbracketed. When you press TAKE, the brackets will switch positions. The un-bracketed line is the active scaler.

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 DCS-200 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.

• Select H Pan to pan a “sized” image left and right — within the selected aspect

ratio. Values are in pixels. The value reads [0] if the image has not been sized horizontally.

• Select V Pan to pan a “sized” image up and down — within the selected aspect

ratio. Values are in lines. The value reads [0] if the image has not been sized vertically.

Note

The Aspect Ratio function allows you to set a pre-defined or custom ratio for the input.

If both H Size and H Pan are greater than 0, and H Size is adjusted so that it approaches 0, at a calculated limit, H Pan automatically adjusts itself to approach 0. This same rule holds true for V Size and V Pan.

• Select Aspect Ratio to adjust the image to one of the following values: 1:1, 3:2,

The DCS-200 supports saving up to 64 input configuration files in non-volatile memory, each of which is available to th e ni ne 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.

The In Auto Acquire function ena bles or disables the Input Auto Acquire mode, which acquires a signal for the input. Values for In Auto Acquire are: OFF and ON (default).

When In 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:

• 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 In 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

• The standard Input Format table defined in Appendix A, in the “Format Table”

section on page 12 2

• A best guess

70 DCS-200 • User’s Guide

4. Operation

Using the Setup Menu

When In 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

• 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.

Note

Please note the following important points:

When you turn In Auto Acquire ON, the DCS-200 automatically turns Auto Input Config and Auto Input Save

ON as well. Similarly, if you turn In Auto Acquire OFF, Auto

Input Config and Auto Input Save turn OFF as well. If you

wish to adjust these fields independently, you can still do so.

• It is recommended that you leave the In 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 In Auto Acquire mode is ON, the DCS-200 au tomatically 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 In 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 In 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.

^мнз=fеймн=`зеСбЦ

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

Note

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 In Auto Acquire mode is OFF, the field has no effect. The default is ON.

^ìíç=q~âÉ

• 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.

The Auto T ake mode allows you to bring an input source to Program by simply pressing an input button (1 through 8, SDI, or LOGO), and without requiring a Take.

Regardless of your In Auto Acquire settings, the input button you select blinks “fast,” to indicate that the system is performing an action such as an auto acquire, file association, or another action. When the system completes its tasks for the input, the button blinks “slow” to indicate that the input is ready to be taken to Program. Lastly, the button lights solid and the source goes to Program automatically.

• When ON, Auto Take overrides user preferences for Black Auto Take and Key

Auto Take. The values for these two menu items are bracketed.

• When OFF, the selected input button blinks “fast” and then “slow.” Press TAKE to

perform the transition.

_ä~Åâ=^ìíç=q~âÉ

The Black Auto Take function controls the behavior of the BLACK button:

• When ON, the BLACK button transitions the Program output to/from black, as

soon as the button is pushed.

Important

EDID is a VESA standard data format that contains information about a display device and its capabilities, including the preferred (as well as the allowed) device resolutions.

The DCS-200’s EDID file is stored in non-volatile memory. This file is read by a computer's DVI graphics card during boot-up, when its DVI output is connected to a DVI-I input connector on the DCS-200 system. The DCS-200 must be powered on first for the EDID information to be read.

The following functions are available:

This menu is designed for advanced users only. Do not reprogram EDID unless it is necessary.

• Input — selects the inputs that you wish to program: ALL, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8.

Inputs 7 or 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.

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

• If In 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.

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 7 or 8, the DCS-200 first

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

• If In 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.

combination of sources are currently on Program. For example:

When BLACK is pressed, one of two different actions can occur, depending on how the “Black Auto Take” function is set in the User Preference Menu.

4. Operation

Using Black

• If a single source is on Program (e.g., Input 1), the system will mix to black at the

current transition rate.

• If multiple sources are on Program (e.g., Input 1 + Key), the system will mix all

sources to Black at the current transition rate.

• Black Auto Take Off

• Black Auto Take On

Note

Refer to the “User Preference” section on page 70 for details on setting parameters in the User Preference Menu.

_ä~Åâ=^ìíç=q~âÉ=lÑÑ==

The following topics are discussed in this section:

KEY

fенкзЗмЕнбзе=нз=hЙубеЦ

A key is a video effect in which one video source cuts into a background image. The DCS-200 enables you to perform a key over any selected source, using either DVI input 7 or 8 as the key source. All key transitions are seamless, at the same rate as the full-screen source transitions.

4. Operation

Using Keys

• Introduction to Keying

• Performing a Key

• Key Transition Combinations

Note

A variety of “key” transitions can be performed:

You cannot use an analog input as a key source. You cannot key over the LOGO.

• Mix key up, over the selected source

• Mix key down, over the selected source

• Mix from a source without a key, to a new source + key

• Mix from a source + key to another source without a key

• Mix between two sources under a key

• Fade to black from a source + key

• Fade up from black to a source + key

Before you perform a key transition, ensure that the key source is selected on the Key Setup Menu, and that the key’s clip, gain and opacity have been adjusted. The key must

be transitioned to Program in order to adjust its parameters. See the “Key Setup Menu section on page 67 for details.

Important

In Preview mode, when you press KEY to “pend” th e key transition, you will not see the key overlay on the Preview monitor. If you then press TAKE, the input and key appear on Program.

To see the key on the Preview monitor, you can route the source from Program to Preview using the Output Src selection of the Preview Menu. This selection places a copy of the Program image on the Preview monitor, including the key. For more information about this function, refer to the “Output Src

” section on page 51.

”

Please note:

• The resolution of the digital key source can be the same, greater than or less than

the system’s selected output resolution.

DCS-200 • User’s Guide 95

4. Operation

Using Keys

~ If the key source resolution is greater than the output resolution, the

DCS-200 only displays an area equal to the output resolution. This area can be positioned using the H Offset and V Offset fields on the Key Setup Menu.

~ If the key source resolution is less than the output resolution, the key is

centered in the middle of the screen. H Offset and V Offset can be used to position the key within the output active space.

Tip

Select the key source and adjust key parameters prior to your production. The key must be visible on Program in order to visually adjust clip, gain and opacity. Refer to the “Key Setup

Menu” section on page 67 for details.
