3.1.1 Transition Type

The HS-1600T provides two types of transition effect, which are cross dissolve (MIX) and WIPE. The default setting is MIX.

3.1.2 Transition Speed

The Transition Speed allows the user to set the MIX or WIPE effect duration, in frames. If the Transition Speed is set to a value of 60 then the transition will take effect over a period of 1 second if the progressive video is chosen and 2 seconds if the interlaced video is chosen. When the AUTO button is pressed, the transition will take the current Transition Speed defined by the user.

22

Note: Pressing the left or right arrow button on the control panel allows the user to either decrement or increment Position X by 1. To change the parameter value at an accelerated rate, simply press and hold the left or right arrow button.

3.1.3 Wipe Effect

On the HS-1600T, there are three wipe effects available for the user to choose. The three wipe effects are HORIZONTAL, VERTICAL and CENTER. The default is Horizontal.

3.1.4 WIPE Border Size

The WIPE Border Size generally allows the user to select an appropriate border width. Setting the WIPE Border Size to OFF turns the border off. Setting this parameter to small selects a thin border; middle will yield a medium size width; large is the maximum wipe border width.

3.1.5 WIPE Border Color

In this option, you will be allowed to select a color for your wipe border. The available colors are listed as follows:

White

Yellow

3.2PIP / Split

Picture-In-Picture (P-In-P) places a sub window on the PGM or Multiview screen. This option (PIP/Split) allows you to configure various parameters of the PIP window.

Note: When PIP and Lumakey features are enabled at the same time, the lumakey source will be the upper layer and the PIP source will be the lower layer. The layer order cannot be changed.

Tip: To quickly assign the PIP source, simply press and hold the PIP PGM button and then select a source from the Program BUS.

3.2.2 PIP Size (PIP Window Size)

The PIP Size parameter ranges from 1 to 100 with 1% being the smallest and 100 being the largest. Therefore 50% would represent a PIP window which is half the size of the background image. 100% would see the PIP window totally cover the background image unless offset to one side.

24

3.2.3 Position X

Adjusting Position X parameter moves the PIP window horizontally. Pressing the left or right arrow button on the control panel allows the user to either decrement or increment Position X by 1. To change the parameter value at an accelerated rate, simply press and hold the left or right arrow button.

3.2.4 Position Y

Adjusting Position Y parameter moves the PIP window vertically. Pressing the up or down arrow button allows the user to either increment or decrement Position Y by 10. Press and hold the up and down arrow buttons to change the parameter value at an accelerated rate.

3.2.5 Split Source

After the PIP window is activated, pressing the Split button will split the PROGRAM output display into two with the program out view on the left and the PIP view on the right. The Split source, i.e. the program out view, can be selected in this option. The available split sources are listed as follows:

Black

Input 1

Input 2

Input 3

Input 4*

3.2.6 Border Size

The Border Size generally allows the user to select an appropriate PIP border width. Setting the Border Size to OFF turns the PIP border off. Setting this parameter to small selects a thin border; middle will yield a medium size width; large is the maximum PIP border width.

3.2.7 Border Color

The user is allowed to assign a PIP border color. The available colors are listed as follows:

White

Yellow

Cyan

Green

Magenta

Red

Blue

Black

*Note: Select Input 4 if you would like to use the video source connected to the HDMI input.

3.3 PIP Crop

The PIP Crop basically adjusts the PIP window borders. You can adjust each side individually (Left / Right / Top / Bottom) or all four sides at the same time (Size).

25

Option	Parameters	Parameter Value or Range	Default Value
	Size	0 – 100%	0
	Left	0 – 100%	0
PIP Crop	Right	0 – 100%	0
	Top	0 – 100%	0
	Bottom	0 – 100%	0

The effects of all parameters are described below:

Left – Adjusts the position of the left edge of the PIP window.

Right – Adjusts the position of the right edge of the PIP window.

Size – Adjusts the PIP image crop size.

Top – Adjusts the position of the top edge of the PIP window.

Bot – Adjusts the position of the bottom edge of the PIP window.

3.4Lumakey

Keyer of the HS-1600T provides the user with the capability of luma keying.

Note: When PIP and Lumakey features are enabled at the same time, the lumakey source will be the upper layer and the PIP source will be the lower layer. The layer order cannot be changed.

Option		Parameters		Parameter Value or Range	Default Value

*Note: Select Input 4 if you would like to use the video source connected to the HDMI input.

3.5 Audio

This option allows the user to configure various audio settings such as muting HDMI output audio, set the audio type, selecting your tally type and etc.

Option	Parameters		Parameter Value or Range	Default Value
	Mute		OFF/ON	Off
	HDMI Input		Input 1-4 / Follow	Follow

3.5.1 Mute

The Mute allows you to turn ON/OFF the embedded audio component at the HDMI-in. The default is OFF.

3.5.2 HDMI Input

In this option, you can select the audio source. Selection of input 1-4 allows the HS-1600T to play the enabled audio source. If “Follow” is selected, the audio will enter Audio follow Video mode, i.e. playback of the audio of the output video.

3.5.3 HDMI Group

The HDMI Group allows the user to assign the HDMI audio channel. The default audio channel is Channel 1/2. Any audio channel pair of the four audio channel pairs can be selected.

3.5.4 Level

There are two different audio standards available for selection. The user can either select the EBU or SMPTE standard. By selecting AUTO allows the device to automatically detect the audio standard. When the image is 50 Hz, the audio follows EBU standard and when the image is 59.94/60 Hz, the audio follows SMPTE standard.

27

3.5.5 Tally Mode

Tally output port generally sends two tally signals to each channel. In Datavideo products, Red indicates On-Air, and Green indicates next camera source.

The HS-1600T provides two tally modes:

Normal: If in normal mode, tally lights of all camera sources displayed on the PGM monitor will be turned ON (Red). These sources include PGM, PIP and Key sources. While transition is in progress, the next video will be seen on the PGM monitor, tally light of the PVW source camera will thus also be turned ON (Red).

Audio Mixer: If Audio Mixer mode is selected, tally light of the PGM source camera selected on the keyboard panel will be turned ON (Red). While transition is in progress, the tally light color will remain unchanged. The tally light color will only change (red/green) after the transition of PGM and PVW views is complete.

3.6 User Mems

In “User Mems”, the user is allowed to load previously saved settings and save the currently configured settings.

Option	Parameters	Parameter Value or Range	Default Value
