qЙкгл=~еЗ=aЙСбебнбзел

The following terms and definitions are used throughout this guide:

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

ScreenPRO-II enables you to work with two background sources, each of 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 background. Keys are typically used for titles, logos 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 ScreenPRO-II.

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

and Keys over a background.

• “M/E” (Mix/Effects) is synonymous with “mixer.” ScreenPRO-II has one internal

M/E, capable of layering either two PIPs, two keys, or one of each.

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

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

(typically of reduced size) is positioned over another background image — or another PIP. PIPs can be reduced, enlarged, bordered, shadowed, and mixed on and off Program. PIPs can overlap each other, depending on their visual priority.

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

• “System” refers to the ScreenPRO-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 ScreenPRO-II Seamless Switcher is a high-resolution multi-layer video display system that combines seamless switching with a variety of creative video effects. The result is a versatile video production tool for live event staging and fixed installation applications.

ScreenPRO-II uses five image layers to produce sophisticated effects, including transitioning backgrounds, transitioning PIPs, wipes, dissolves and keys.

The five ScreenPRO-II layers are:

• One unscaled background

• Two scale d in pu ts

• One unscaled downstream key

• One LOGO

Using the mixer’s two scaled inputs, you can mix within a PIP, or you can display two independent PIPs (or Keys) over a background. In addition, two unscaled high-resolution input channels enable you to transition seamlessly between background images, or alternately, to use one high-resolution background plus a high-resolution DSK. A LOGO is also available as a full screen source, using still frames captured from the background inputs or from the layers.

pЕкЙЙеmolJff=cЙ~нмкЙл

Following is a detailed list of ScreenPRO-II features:

• Support for input and output resolutions up to UXGA

• High quality motion adaptive de-interlacing on SD and HD sources

• Low video processing delay, less than 3 input fields

• 3RU rack-mount chassis

• Native high-resolution background channels independent of the PIP/Key

processing channels

• Internal 8 x 2 analog video router for selecting scaler inputs, plus (on the HD

model), internal 2 x 2 HD-SDI/SD-SDI router.

• Native high resolution DSK channel, independent of PIP/KEY processing

channels

ScreenPRO-II is available in two different models:

• Basic Model

The basic model includes eight analog inputs on HD-15 connectors. These inputs feed an internal 8 x 2 router, which provides sources to the two scalers. The unit also features two high resolution DVI inputs which can be used for two unscaled background sources, or one background and one DSK source.

• HD Model

The HD model is identical to the standard model, with the addition of two HD-SDI/ SD-SDI inputs on BNC connectors. These inputs feed an internal 2 x 2 router, which provides these additional sources to the two scalers.

Event control is available using multiple ScreenPRO-II units in conjunction with the Encore SC/LC Controller or the ScreenPRO-II Controller. In this mode, all ScreenPRO-II functions (including system setup) are supported from the controller, which is equipped with easy-touse menus, a T-Bar for manual transitions and buttons for user presets.

ScreenPRO-II is a five layer system, as illustrated below:

Background

Mixer Layer A

Mixer Layer B

DSK

LOGO

Figure 1-1. ScreenPRO-II Layers

A layer is defined as an image display element (such as a background, PIP , or Key) with an associated visual priority. The mixer it self has two layers, A and B. For complete flexibility, each mixer layer can be assigned to either PIP or Key functionality.

A typical ScreenPRO-II application is illustrated below.

Figure 1-2. 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 images, including backgrounds, PIPs, keys and the DSK.

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

appears over all PIPs, keys and backgrounds — but it is “under” the LOGO.

System Overview

• The high resolution Background layer has the lowest priority. This layer visually

appears “behind” all other PIPs, keys, and the DSK. The system can transition between two background sources — both of which must be at native projector resolution.

• A PIP layer appears “over” backgrounds and “under” the DSK and LOGO. Effects

include mixes and wipes, linear moves and resizing, adjustable aspect ratio, borders, drop shadows and soft edges.

• A Key layer also appears “over” backgrounds and “under” the DSK and LOGO.

Key effects include luminance keys, split keys (key alpha and fill), reverse key (key on background), and color key (graphics).

• Within the mixer, layer B has priority over layer A, but you can change that priority

as desired with the

Swap Z-Order button.

• Up to eight analog inputs and up to two SD/HD SDI inputs can be scaled to

produce PIP or Key images.

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

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

labeled (e.g.,

• The symbol ↔ denotes a PIP or a key that can transition. For example, PIP A ↔

B indicates that you can dissolve between sources within the PIP.

The ScreenPRO-II system provides two backgrounds, two scalable layers in the mixer plus an unscaled DSK and a full screen, unscaled LOGO. The LOGO, DSK and backgrounds are always unscaled.

If the DSK is in use, the background cannot transition between A and B. This occurs because

This effect includes a non-transitioning background (either A or B), one transitioning PIP and the DSK.

System Overview

jбсЙк=bССЙЕн=O

This transition is similar to effect 1, but because the DSK is not in use, the background can transition from source A to B, and the PIP can transition between layers A and B.

jбсЙк=bССЙЕн=P

In this effect, because the DSK is in use, the background cannot transition — you can only use background A. Here, you can independently fade (or cut) one scaled PIP and one scaled key, with complete size and position flexibility.

Safety Precautions

p~СЙну=mкЙЕ~мнбзел=

For all ScreenPRO-II installation procedures, please 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 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 ScreenPRO-II shipping box, inspect it for damage. If you fi nd 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 ScreenPRO-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 ScreenPRO-II chassis is designed to be rack mounted and is supplied with front rackmount 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 ScreenPRO-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 ScreenPRO-II chassis can also be used in a “tabletop” configuration, without rack mounting.

The Frame Grab Menu enables you to capture still frames into the system’s three internal frame stores. The “sources” of the still frames are the system’s inputs or the scaled inputs. All captures occur on the

Preview monitor — thus the desired

BG A and BG/DSK B

full screen source that you want to capture must be visible on Preview. Once captured, a still frame can be assigned as the input “type” for

source or the

LOGO source — basically any “green” button in the Layer Control Section.

BG A, BG B, the DSK

Note

Resource usage applies to BG B and DSK. These two layers are mutually exclusive — if one is on program, the other can not be used.

The three frame stores utilize ScreenPRO-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 takes 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 137 for

details.
