1.4 The 4K screen management system

The presentation systems E2 and S3–4K

Raising the bar for live screen m anagem ent, the Event Master screen management system provides superior image quality, exceptional input and output density, great expandability, and purpos e built durability. Supporting native 4K input and output with up to 60 Hz refresh rates and 4:4:4 color, it is the most modular system available to manage blended 4K projectors with refresh rates up to 60 Hz and full range color s ampling. B eing a truly versatile system, the Event Master offers a large range of s caled AUX outputs and PGM outputs for full show control with a single box.

Native 4K input and output

With native 4K input and output, the Event master devices provide impressive pixel processing power. Whether native or scaled inputs, two connectors or four, this HDCP-compliant system ma nages it all.

With up to 32 inputs and 14 outputs, the E2 system offers full show control, including 32 independ dedicated two channel Multi-viewer. Thanks to its linkable chassis, it can easily expand beyond the single chassis capacity, without the need for additional e xternal processing and routing to distribute the signals. And as its inputs and layers can also be extended, the E2 is even capable of managing a blend of up to 32 4K projectors.

Simple servicing and control

The Event Master devices com e with a straightforward cross-platform user interface that provides touchscreen ergonomics. As the presets are stored on the chassis, it enables easy control via third-party systems. Multiple users can c ontrol a system simultaneously, and the API allows third-party developers to create custom control programs and interfaces. Thanks to their modular designs, users can simply add a new input or output card to support future signal interfaces. This modularity also ensu res great serviceability, as users can easily swap a speciﬁc input or output card in the case of damage, without needing to ship or replace the entire box.

Designed for life on the road

Designed for the live event industry, the rugged Event Master devices feature a steel chassis that’s able to withstand the challenging conditions of life on the road. What’s more, they offer screen control in a compact form factor of only four rack units (3 RU for the S3), which makes them easy to ship and install. And thanks to their modular cards and dual redundant power supplies, the Event Master dev ices are extremely reliable and easy t o service in the ﬁeld.

About EX

Image 3-3 EX

When linked to the E vent Master system (E2 or S3–4K) it acts as an input and/or output expansion b ox to increase the capacities available to the sy stem. Via the link cable, a ﬁber extension can be used to extend the distance between the EX and the E 2 or S3 processor. EX allows the user to place the unit close to a larg e concentration of s ources or outputs (for example, on a stage with demo c omputers) and use a single cable to deliver the signals to and from the main processor. EX helps reduce the cost in terms of equ ipment and labor hours required to set u p an event.

The Ex can also be used as a stand-alone unit to scale, switch, and convert video signals to multiple displays. A s a stand-alone unit it can be thought of as a 4x 4 scaling matrix.

3.4 Terms and deﬁnitions

A 3 Gbit/s serial digital 10-bit or 12-bit video interface (SMPTE 424 M and 425M).

AUX (auxiliary Output)

A video output that can show any source and seamlessly cut between them.

Background (BG)

Typically an unscaled source originating from a computer’s multi-head graphics card, or a frame grab from a scaled source. An Event M aster processor c an use any input signal and assign it as a B ackground source, provided it is at the same resolution as is the destination. The Background appears at the system’s lowest layer priority and does not use any syst

Chroma Key

A type of key where the hole-cutting information is derived from a color rather than from a video level. An common example on television, is when the weatherman appears to be standing in front of a map. The map itself is a video signal, and the weatherm an is in fact standing in front of a green (or blue) screen. On the switcher, the Chroma Key process electronically subtracts the color from the foreground image, and replaces it with video from the background image to form a composite image.

Clip, Gain, Opacity

In switcher terminology, the p rocess of ﬁne-tuning a key of any type (luminance, linear, or chroma). Clipping sets the threshold for the hole cutting circuitry, while "gain" deﬁnes the range and sensitivity of adjustment. The "opacity" is the transparency or density of the key, as revealed over a background.

Colorspace

All video signals have a colorspace. Versions are RGB, YUV or YrYbYc. They also have a range like 16 -240 = Reduced or Full 0-254.

There is also a color processing scheme that allow bandwidth saving. Full would be 4:4:4 and versions include 4:2:2 and 4:2:0

em scaler resources.

3. General

Computer Video

A generic term indicating video that originates from a computer platform. A progressive scan signal that follows VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) standards, with typical re solutions of 800 x 600, 1920 x 1080, UHD and 4K etc.

Crosspoint

3.5 Control overview

General

There are several ways to control Event Master Ser ies Processors.

Settings and Diagnostics:

• Front Panel.

• Web interface running directly from an Event Master series processor.

Operational Set u p and Programming:

• Event Master Toolset running on a W indows 7 PC or Apple Mac with OSX.

• EventMaster Controller EC-50 or EC-200.

Remote recall and non-Barco device connectivity:

• External serial protocol connected devices like PreSetManager.

Not all of these do the same thing, below the immediate differences. Several of these all work at the same time, providing multiple points of control.

Front Panel

The Event Master series processor front panel includes a power switch, a USB port and a dimmable display that works in conjunction with the ADJUST knob and SEL and ESC buttons. Through the front panel menus you can perform bas ic system functions such as factory reset, set network parameters and bas ic diagnostics. A front-panel USB port is provided for downloadin logo images and system conﬁgurations. Refer to the chapter "Front panel", page 42 for more information about the about the Event Master Series processor front panel menus.

Web interface

Via the local network and a computer the user can access a web page server running on Eve nt Master series proc essor. Basic system functions similar to the ones available from the front panel menus are accessible through the w eb page server. Refer to the chapter "Settings Menu", page 201 for more information about the Event Master Series Web interface.

3.6 Presentation System overview

Advanced video processing

The Event Master processors are the most advanced video processing and presentation control systems on the market today. These systems provide source selec tion, windowing, seamless switching, video effects and integrated control for professional presentations. The modular and scalable architecture of the Event Master processors allow to support a wide variety of show conﬁgurations.

A word about Layers

A layer is an image display element stacked on top of another or a bac kground. Within the Event Master processor, each mixer has two layers, A and B, and one Background layer. For complete ﬂ exibility, each layer can be assigned to either PIP or Key functionality.

The Background layer has the lowest priority. A ny input or inputs can be used as a background. This layer visually appears behind all other PIPs and keys. The system can transition between two background sources.

PIP layer appears over backgrounds and under other layers of higher priority. PIP effects include mixes, smooth moves, resizing, adjustable aspec t ratio, borders and drop shadows.

Key lay er also appears over backgrounds and under other layers of higher priority. Key effects include luminance keys, split keys (key a lpha or ﬁll), invert keys and chroma keys (future release).

A word about Destinations

Destination is a location where the user assigns th e outputs.

We can consider three destination types:

• Single/Multiple Screen Destination (e.g. one or more projectors)

• AUX Destination (e.g. a monitor dedicated for camera adjustments)

There several rules that apply when deﬁning an Destination conﬁguration. For details on destination setup procedures, please refer to the chapter "Conﬁ guration Menu > Adjustment > Destination Conﬁ guration", page 126.

3.9 Rack-Mount Procedure

General

The chassis of the Event master devices (E2 and S3 series) are designed to be rack mounted. The devices are supplied with front rackmount hardware.

Please note the following important points:

• The E2 is 4RU in height while the S3 is 3RU in height.

• The maximum am bient operating temperature is 40 degrees C.

• Leave sufﬁcient front and rear s pace to ensure that airﬂow through the unit is not restricted.

• When installing equipm ent into a rack, distribute the units evenly to prevent hazardous conditions that may be created by uneven weight distribution.

• Connect the unit only to a properly rated supply circuit.

• Reliable grounding (earthing) of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.

• Rack mount the unit from the front rack ears using four rack screws (not supplied). Threads may be metric or otherwise, depending upon the ra ck type.

Rack-mount proced ure is different depending the Event master device type (E2 or S 3).

CAUTION: At a m inimu m, an E2 chassis weighs 31 kg (68 lbs) and a S3 chassis weighs 24 kg (53 lbs). To

avoid injury, it is recommended that two people rack mount these chassis.

How to install E2 in a rack

Use the following steps to rack mount the E2:

1. T he E2 is shipped with side rails included in the shipping case and not installed onto the

c) Re-install the moun ting screws. When properly adjusted, the end of each side rail will protrude through the slot in the rear

mounting bracket, once the chassis is rack mounted.

Image 3-12

To take advantage of this feature, ensure that there is at least 1/2” of clearance above the chassis.

Image 3-13

2. F or the E2’s two keyhole slots, measure and install two rac k screws in your equipment rack’s front rails. Allow each screw to

protrude approximately 3/4” from the sur face of the rails.

3. L ift the chassis, and while supporting it, slide the side rails through the slots in the rear mounting brackets.

4. W hile continuing to support the chassis, slide the screws (in the front rails) through the two keyholes, and let the chassis settle

up into the keyhole slots.

5. Tighten the two lower s crews, then install and tighten the two uppers screws in the rack rail.

How to install S3 or EX in a rack

Use the following steps to rack mount the S3 or the EX:

1. S 3 and EX units are shipped with side rails included in the shipping case and not installed onto the chassis. T hese side rails,

when they are properly installed and adjusted, assist with the distribution of chassis (and cable) weight within your rack. Use the following steps to properly adjust the

AC connectors

Event Master E2, E2 J., S3–4K, and S3–4K Jr. series processors are equipped with two r edundant power supplies. During normal operation the load is shared equally by both supplies. If one supply fails, the second carries the whole load. Two AC Connector are provided to connect Event Master seri

es processors to your facility’s AC power source through the supplied power cords.

Input P ower Speciﬁcation: 100-240 VAC, 47-63 Hz

On each power supply there are 3 LED lights that provide status information as follows:

• DC O utput Power LED: when Green, the sup

ply is outputting valid DC power.

• Status LED: when amber indicates that an error has occurred.

• AC Input Power LED: when green it indicates that the supply is connected to a valid AC power.

Therefore, during normal operating conditions, the input AC and Output DC LEDs will turn green.

Note that the power supplies are installed upside down in the E2 model, so the silkscreen markings w ill also appear u pside down. Power supplies in the S3 model are installed in the correct orientation for reading silkscreen markings.

Ethernet port

One RJ-45 connector is provided for 10/100BaseT Ethernet co mm unications with the Event Master series processor. The port is used for running the Web Interface and for connection to an external device.

The Ethernet connec tor is compatible with:

• Standard RJ-45 Ethernet cables

• Neutrik EtherCon® series cables

For pinout details, refer to the sec tion dedicated to the pinout in Appendix A, "Standard connector pinouts", page 505.

Genlock Input BNC (with passive Loop-through)

The Genlock input supports analog NTSC and PAL Blackburst, a s well as HD tri-level sync signals, per SMPTE 274M and SMPTE 296M. The passive loop-through connector passes the Genlock signal to another device downstream of the Event Master series processor. The Loop-through output will continue to function even when the device is turned off. When the device is genlocked and the lock s ource is lost, the output of the unit will autom atically switch to “free-run” state without any discernible “glitching” on the output display device. As the loop-thru is passive a 75O hm termination is necessary for stable operation.

For G enlock connections details, refer to the Speciﬁ cations Appendix.

Expansion Link cards

When event requirements exc eed the cap acity of a single unit in terms of input, output, or number of layers, multiple Event M aster processors can be linked together through the Expansion Link cards. The cards are connected with B bi-directional Expansion Link cables. Thes e cables are also commercially available.

Depending on the Event Master processor model, two, one, or no slots are reserved at left side of the rear panel for Expansion Link cards.

VPU cards

VPU (Video Processing Unit) cards are at the heart of the Event Ma ster Series of products. All scaling, layer effects and image compositing ha ppens within these cards. Each card supports the scaling requirements for the product line with the award-winning Athena scaling technology at resolutions up to 4K. Due to their reprogrammability any future video processing capabilities will be implemented in these cards. Current capabilities include:

• Support for 2K, Dual-Link, and 4K Scaling

• Layer compositing over unscaled Backgrounds

• Layer effects, including Borders and Shadows

• Keying effects

• Key frame effects

On an E2 and E2 Jr. units, the VPU cards are not accessible through the rear panel. On S3–4K and S3–4K Jr. units, slots 2 and 3 are reserved for the VPU cards. The EX expansion box has n

oVPUcards.

Input cards

Each input c ard supports resolutions of up to 4K. The ability o f the Event Master processors to support up to 28 inputs (E2) eliminates, in most cases, the need to have upstream routers or scalers.

Each card slot could accommodate either:

• 4x up-to HD/2K inputs

• 2x 2560x1600 inputs

• 1x 4K input

On an E2 (or an E2 Jr.) processor, slots 3 through 10 are reserved for input cards. On an S3–4K (or an S3–4K Jr.) processo r, slots 4 through 6 are reserved for input cards. Both slots of an EX expansion box may hold input cards, but if the EX has both an input and an output card, the input card should go in slot 1.

6G-SDI

Serial Digital Interface (SDI) is a serial link standardized by ITU-R BT.656 and the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE). SDI transmits uncomp ressed digital video over 75-ohm coaxial cable within studios, and is seen on most professional video infrastructure equipment. The ﬁrst revision of the standard, SMPTE 259M, was deﬁned to carry digital representation of analog video such as NTSC and PAL over a serial interface and is more popularly known as standard-deﬁnition (SD) SDI. The data rate required to transmit SD SDI is 270 Mbps. With the advent of high-deﬁnition (HD) video standards such as 1080i and 720p, the interface was scaled to handle higher data rates of 1.485 Gbps . The 1.485-Gbps serial interface is commonly called the HD SDI interface and is deﬁned by SMPTE 292M, using the same 75-ohm coaxial cable. Studios and other video production facilities have invested heavily on the hardware infrastructure for coaxial cable and have a vested interest in extending the life of their infrastructure. Fortunately, SMPTE recently ratiﬁed a new standard called SMP T E 424M that doubles the SDI data rates to 2.97 Gbps using the same 75-ohm coaxial cable. This new standard, also called 3-Gbps (3G)-SDI, enables higher resolution of picture quality required for 1080p and digital cinem a. 6G-SDI, a new evolution of this standard with four times the bandwidth of standard HD-SDI will be soon available.

HDMI

HDMI (High-Deﬁnition Multimedia Interface) is a compac t audio/video interface for transferring uncompressed video data and compressed/uncompressed digital audio data from a HDMI-compliant device ("the source device") to a compatible com puter monitor, video projector, digital television, or digital audio device. HDMI is a digital replacement for existing analog video standards.

DisplayPort

Digital display interface developed by the Video E lectronics S ta ndards Association (VESA). This royalty-free interface is primarily used to c onnect a video source to a display device such as a computer monitor, though it can also be used to transmit audio, USB, and other forms of data. VESA designed it to replace VGA, DVI, and FPD-Link. Backward compatibility to VGA and DVI by using active adapter dong les enables users to use DisplayPort ﬁtted video sources without r eplacing existing display devices.

The navigator cursor (>) is at the ﬁeld targeted.

2. Press SEL The navigation cursor changes to the edit cursor. A blank ﬁeld for the ﬁrst character becomes available and this ﬁeld is marked by an underscore.

3. Use the ADJUST knob to scroll to the ﬁ rst character you want to use for the format name.

Turning the ADJUST knob clockwise once moves to the next letter of the alphabet. I f you s tart with an upper-case letter, as shown in the preceding illustration, then th e next letter is also a capital letter. If you start with a lower-case letter, the next letter is a lower-case letter:

-F–>G

-f–>g

If y ou start with a number, the next character is a number.

Continuing to turn the ADJUST knob clockwise at the end of the upper-case alphabet displays a series of punctuation marks you can use in the format name.

Continuing to turn the knob clockwise at the end of the punctuation marks displays the lower-case alphabet in order.

When you reach the end o f the lower-case alphabet, turn the

ADJUST knob counter-clockwise to scroll back through

the options in order.

4. Press SE L . The cursor moves to the next character ﬁeld, which is now blank with an underscore.

5. Repeat the previous steps as many times as needed, pressing SEL for each character selection.

6. When you have selected all the characters, press SEL again to save the name.

A ﬁle name can consist of up to 19 alpha-nu meric characters.
