Monitors

Quad Preview and Program

The HS-550 comes with two monitors one for Preview and one for Program. These monitors help you choose
your video sources and decide when to cut or transition between video sources.

The Left hand Monitor is s plit int o a 4 screen quad labelled PREVIEW and is r ef er red to as a Q uad Preview. T h is
Quad Preview shows the video so ur c es c onn ec ted to the HS-550. To help you m atc h th e vid eo shown to a but ton ,
or an input, each section of this Quad Preview is labell ed; 1 to 4. The labels in this Quad preview ar e also colour
coded. A Red flash ing label ind icates this is the select ed video source that is alread y being sent t o the HS-550’s
Program output. A Yellow label indicates th at this is the selected Sub source that will be tr ansitioned to if t he T­Bar is moved. A Green lab el indicates a video sour ce that is not currently se lected. The colour coding of these
labels can be referred to as an on-screen tally system.

The Right hand Monitor is labelled PROGRAM and only shows the main mixed output of the HS-550. This
monitor output will only be sub divided if the PIP or SPLIT or QUAD effect is active.

In the above example i nput 1 starts as the M ain source
(Red) and input 4 is the selected Sub source (Yellow).
As input 1 is the Ma in source this should a lso b e s e en on
the Program monitor to o. When the T-Bar is moved the
Program Monitor will transition from input 1 to input 4.
When the T-Bar has been m oved fully the label for input
1 will be Yellow and the label for input 4 will be Red.
Another Sub source which is currently labe lled Green can then be se lected as the Sub source to be transitioned
to next.

Completing a manual transition

The HS-550 two wa y T-Bar is us ed for perform ing manual transitions be tween video sourc es; it can
be moved either all the way up, moved all the way down, or moved part wa y in between. The top
and bottom positions f or the T-Bar are relative, m eaning one position is before and one position is
after the transition being performed.

The HS-550 completes the selected trans ition between t wo sourc es at the sam e speed as you move the T -Bar. If
no transition type is selected, m oving the T-Bar performs a default fade or dissolve between the two selected
video sources.

12

Dissolving or Fading between sources

Select the Main V ideo Source by pressing an appropriate channel button. The button for the ch annel you have
selected should be illuminated Red an d you should immediatel y see that source on the Program m onitor. Now
select the Sub Sourc e that you want to dissolve to, illuminated Yellow. The default transitio n is a fade/dissolve
(this button will already be lit when you first turn on the s witcher). Move the T -Bar to the opposite position and
watch the fade happen between the sources on the Program monitor.

Cutting between sources

The HS-550 can do 3 kinds of transitions: fade (already
covered in the prev ious section), cut and wipes. T he cut is a
simple switch f rom one in p ut s our ce t o a not her . Not flashy, nor
fancy, but it gets the job done. I n fact, if you watch a film or
video, paying atte ntion to the tr ansitions, you will see that t he
cut is the most often used transition.

You select a video so urce by pressing one of the buttons 1, 2, 3, 4 or BG ( Background colour). For example, if
you press button 4 on the Sub Source ro w your sel ection will be conf irmed b y the sam e button bein g illum inated.
The chosen Sub Sour ce bu tton is i llum inated Yello w. The chos en M ain S ource b utton is i lluminat ed Red. When a
Main Source button is pressed the main output of the mixer immediatel y shows o r c uts to t hat video s o urc e on the
Program monitor. This m eans that you can perform simple cuts between video s ources just by pressing d ifferent
buttons on the Main Source row.

Pressing a Sub Source button m ay not cause an immediate change to the HS-550’s main output or Program
monitor. The selected Sub Source button ( illum inated Yellow) only identifies which video input sourc e will be next
shown when using the T-Bar.

Wiping between sources

Select the transition wipe button that you wish to use. There are in total 11 different Wipe styles and the
corresponding transition icon will be disp layed in the bottom left corner of the Previe w monitor when you press it.
The last button on the bottom row (see above picture) with a checker board marking is the Dissolve/Fade button.

At this point you c ould also press the Preview button, to see a sample of the selected transition on the
Left hand HS-550 Preview m onitor. This Preview is for confirm ation only and is not se nt to the main
outputs or the Program monitor. Once this Preview is finished the monitor will return to the Quad view.

In a wipe transition, the change from one source to another happens along a predefined edge. It is like one
source image is being pulled back or pushed on top of another source im age. Depending on the button sel ected
the starting point and direction of the wipe is changed.

But a picture is worth a thousand words, so... try this …
Select a main source and s ub sourc e, se lect a Wipe, o r Fade f rom the buttons above, press the “Preview” button
and see what it would like. Then, perform the actual transition manually by moving the T-bar up and down.

See the next page for a list of wipe trans it ions and variations.

Effects

There are two places on the HS-550 where you can add effects: in the Transition Effects section (15.) and in the
Video Effects section (5-8.). Some of these work on a single source, and some need two or four sources to work.

Select a Main Video source and try the following:

In the Transition Effects section, select the WIPE effect you wish to use. You could also add a border to the edge
by turning on the BORDER effect (10.).

In the Video Effects section, try the Quad effect (5.). Press the button to engage the effect; the LED will light. You
can see all 4 input sources showing on the program monitor at the same time. No other cuts or transitions can be
performed until the Quad effect is toggled off.

For Split effect (6.), select a sub source for right hand side window. Then, press the “SPLIT” button. You will see
Main source on left hand side, and Sub source on right hand side. Simple cuts can be performed along the main
and sub source rows. Transitions are not possible until the Split effect is toggled off.

PIP effect (7.), which stands for Picture in Picture. As you might guess, this effect requires a Main and Sub Video
Source. Assuming you have valid inputs on Channe l 1 and 2, select Channel 1 as the Main Source and Channel
2 as the Sub Source. When you engage the effect by pressing the PIP button (and verifying that the LED on the
button is lit), on the program monitor you will have Channel 1 as the Main Source and Channel 2 as a smaller PIP
window inset. There are t w o choic es f or window size. Change thes e by pressing the ＋ and － buttons, see below.
You can position this window using the other five different position buttons on (15.), with the button set to Position
Control (LED is lit). You could also add a border by turning on the Border control (10.).

Next, try the Freeze effect (8.) to grab a still frame of the Main Source video. Move the T-Bar to manually dissolve
away to the Sub Video Source.

Using Effects

The HS-550 is capable of producing a wide variety of digital effects. These fall into 2 categories: si ngl e channel
and dual channel effects.

Single channel effects are produced on the source selected in the Main Video Source bus and need no second
video input. Single channel effects include Freeze.

For example, select any input channel having a valid signal as the Main Video Input. Press the Freeze button
once. You’ll see, on the program monitor, that the source video stops instantly. Press the button again, and watch
the source video return to full motion. With the Freeze effect, there are no parameters, just a single source
stopping and starting.

For more information on single channel effects, see the appropriate section (Freeze) below.

Dual channel effects are produced on the so urce selected in the Main Video S ource bus and requ ire a second
source, which is always selected in the Sub Video Source bus. Dual channel effects include Picture in Picture.

For example, select Ma in a nd Sub V ideo So ur c es, and then press the PIP (Picture in Pic ture) button; immediately,
on the program monitor, you will see the Sub Video Source in a small window.

For more information on these dual channel effects, see the appropriate sections (Quad, Split, and Picture in
Picture) below.

Effects: Quad

The Quad effec t c om bines 4 i npu t vi deos int o 1 o utp ut . When this effec t is ac t ivated, it shows the 4 video sources
on 1 single monitor. Eac h source takes one quarter of the entire screen like the Quad Preview. Press the button
again, and it returns to the previously selected main source in full screen.

This is a dual channel effect, and cannot be used with any other transitions or effects.

Effects: Split

This effect squeezes the Main Source and Sub Source video into one program screen. The Main Source is plac ed
on the left, and the Sub Source on the right. To select different sources for the left window press different channel
buttons on the Main Source row. To select dif ferent sources f or the right window press different channel buttons
on the Sub Source row. You could s witch from left to right, or r ight to left by pressing the “LEFT” or “RIGHT”
button.

This is a dual channel effect, and cannot be used with any transitions. Only simple cuts can be used.

Effects: Picture in Picture

The Picture in Picture or PIP effect puts the selected Sub Source video in a smaller windo w on top of the Main
Video Source. Variables for this effect include changing window size and position.

Window size (2 sizes are available); change the window size by pressing the + and - buttons on the left of the
Wipe transitions. (+ is larger, - is smaller).

There are 9 different positions that are located on the right of the Wipe transition effects. Select from one of the
preset locations by using the buttons. On each corner, use “Right” and “Left” to move the window closer to the
edge or to the center.

This effect may also be used in conjunction with the Border effect (see next page).

This is a dual channel effect, and cannot be used with any transitions.

This effect freezes the incoming video, as selected on the Main Source row. There are no parameters, no
variations. Press the but ton onc e and the vide o free zes, pres s it aga in, and it retur ns to the sel ected so urc e in f ull
motion.

The Freeze effect is single channel, and wor ks in conjunction with any transition.

Border

This can be used in conjunction with the Picture in Picture Effect and Wipe transitions only, and should be
activated before the Picture in Picture or Wipe is active. In PIP mode the border colour can only be white.

Wipes have 8 Border colors are available: black, blue, magenta, red, green, cyan, yellow and white.

Background

While not strictl y an effect, this control is related. This control selects what solid colour the background will be
when selected on eit her the Main or Sub Video row. There ar e eight possible b ackground colours; black, blue,
magenta, red, green, cyan, yellow, and white. The button LED lights up in the selected colour with repeated
presses of the button (except for black where th e LED goes off), and this is also indicated on the quad preview
monitor output too.

Computer Display Set Up

For best results preparation is the key, so ensure the following steps are completed BEFORE your event or
recording starts.

In order for the HS-550 to see the c omputer out put you may need to extend the computer or laptop desk top to a
second monitor using Control Panel as below. When using a laptop you may need to use a function key
combination to allow use of the VGA port, much in the same way as using a laptop with a projector.

The PC graphics c ard w ill n eed 2 c on nec t ions 1 for the PC monitor an d a s pare DVI-D connection to go to input 4
on the HS-550. T he PC will need to h ave Microsoft Off ice installed in order for PowerPoint to b e used. If all the
settings are correc t on the mixer and th e PC then we can attem pt to use this DVI-D PC display ou tput as pa rt of
our HS-550 mix.

1. Connect a DVI-D cable bet w een the HS-550 and the spare DVI-D port on the PC’s graphics card.

2. Turn on the HS-550 and then the PC.

3. Create a PowerPoint pres entation with Black text on a white bac kground. You may want to create your
own Slide Master within PowerPoint. Use the PowerPoint Help function for advice on how to do this.

4. Select channel 4 on t he Main sour ce rail of the HS-550 so it is shown in the PROGRAM window. If you
cannot see the computer output extend the PC’s desktop within Windows to monitor 2 as below.

5. PC screen size for monitor 2 should match the 1024x768 resolution.

6. If the DVI input or program monitor is just a blue sc reen (blue desktop bac kground only), then tr y using
the PC mouse pointer to drag a window or a desk top icon across and on to the HS-550 DVI PROGRAM
window.

7. OK, so you should now have the Monitor 2 PC display running into input 4 on the HS-550.

18

8. Open up Powerpoint o n the PC and us e Set Up Sho w so that the prese ntations play bac k on Monitor 2
(the HS-550) and the presentator’s output is sent to Monitor 1 (the PC’s own monitor).

9. Run the Powerpoint presentation and you should see it playing back on the HS-550 PROGRAM window.

10. Now you can attem pt to work the presentation or graphic s into your mix, either on its own or with the
speaker in a smaller PIP window.

11. Note if you plan to use the PIP window effect then select the speak er as the sub source input b efore
pressing the PIP butto n. The presentation layout also needs to be adjusted to leave space for the PI P
window.

HS-550 DV port Set Up

The HS-550 has 2x DV / IEEE-1394 ports, one on the rear plate for connection to a DV deck, Camera or
Computer and one dedicated for seating a Datavideo DN-60 recorder to the left of the HS-550 mixer area.

In order to record from the HS-550 using t hese DV / I EEE-1394 p orts the Button (labe lled A) i n the above p icture
needs to illuminated Red. Once active these ports will send DV25 signals to the connected equipment. If the
button is off (not illuminated) then the DN-60 port will accept playback of recorded clips from the connected DN-60.
These clips can b e viewed by switching the Program Monitor on the HS-550 to the V2 position. Remember to
return the HS-550 monitor and DV port button back to their original settings before attempting to mix/record again.

It is not possible to play 2 DV devices into the HS-550 at the same time this will only cause the external devices to
become un-responsive as they are both trying to access the same channel.

DN-60 - A brief Set Up guide

The DN-60 is not supplied with the HS-550. What follows is a brief outline of how to use the DN-60 to record from
the HS-550. A full PDF version of the DN-60 manual can be obtained from your dealer or local Datavideo office.

The DN-60 records the mixed Program output, video and audio, from the HS-550 via the DV / IEEE-1394 port on
the HS-550 top panel. This port needs to be seated correctly with the DN-60 in order for the signals to be received
properly.

When seated, the HS-550 does not supply power to the DN-60. Instead the DN-60 still needs to be powered from
internal batteries or its own power adaptor. The DN-60 should be switched on after being attached to the HS-550.

DN-60 Status LED and Error Messages

The DN-60 has a red status LED just below the Menu Navigation Button. T his can be used as a quick way of
confirming that the unit is working correctly or is requiring user attention.

LED constantly ON – Indicates the DN-60 unit is recording a camera/source input.
LED constantly OFF – DN-60 is idle or the unit is waiting to be powered on.
LED Slowly Dimmed OFF and ON – Indicates record pause, formatting card, or making media file.
LED Flashing ON and OFF – The LCD panel will also indicate that there is:
No Media - CF card is not detected by DN-60. Check CF card.

No Input - Video signal is lost from DN-60. Check cabling and source equipment.
Bad Input - Video signal received does not match the DN-60 settings.
Unsafe Battery level - usually indicates low battery level. Change batteries or power source.
Wrong Format Media!! - CF card does not match the format settings of the DN-60.

User can choose

"RESTORE SETTING": Reset DN-60 configuration to accept the CF card inserted.

Or

"FORMAT MEDIA": Format the CF card according to current DN-60 configuration.

Caution: All content on the CF card will be erased by selecting "FORMAT MEDIA"

DN-60 Menu Navigation

Pressing the Navigation Button in will select the menu option or c onf irm a value. Rotating the N a vigat ion Button in
either direction will change the menu option or set a value. If all options have been displayed then the menu
display will only scr oll optio ns in one dir ection. C hoose EX IT to retur n to a pre vious menu level or to return to the
initial Home screen (shown below).

The DN-60 is a menu driven un it; there are several m enus which are used to s et up the unit. The m enu settings
are non-volatile (setti ngs are stored eve n when the unit is s witched off). So gene ral settings, such as S ignal and
File types, will only need to be set once.

A brief overview of the DN-60 menu opti ons follows. A full PDF version of the DN-60 manual can be obtained
from your dealer or local Datavideo office.

22

When using the DN-60 with the HS-550 ensure the unit is setup using the following steps.

CF Card

Ensure your chosen Com pact Flash (CF) card is qualif ied for use with the DN -60. If you are not sure chec k with
your local dealer or Datavideo office. Back up any data to computer that is already on the CF card before inserting
the card into the DN-60.

Set the Signal Type

Use the menu path Setup, System Set Up, Set Signal Type to configure the DN -60 unit for a Signal T ype of
DV+DVC 50Hz (PAL area) or DV+DVC 60Hz (NTSC area).

Set the File Type

Use the menu path Setup, Record Setup Options, Set File Type t o configure the D N-60 unit to create the file
type that is required by your computer edit software. Available choices are Microsoft AVI, Canopus AVI,
QuickTime MOV or Avid MXF (OP1A).

Set the File System as FAT32 or NTFS

Set up the file system type seen on the CF c ard by the computer wh en transferring f iles. The FAT32 file s ystem is
compatible with both Macs and PCs. Howev er, this form at limits the si ze of a file to 2GB, in DV25 that translates
to approximately 9 m inutes of vide o. A cli p or recording that lasts longer tha n 9m in is spr ead ac ross m ultip le files ,
each 2GB long, with the las t file in the s eque nce making up any remainder time. If this seq uence of 2G B f iles are
placed in the correct order and end to end on an editing tim e line the record ing will play through as one whole
recording again.

The NTFS format is fully compatible with PCs and is read compatible with Macs. Its main advantage is that it does
not impose a file size limitation to the DN-60 files result ing in one file per recording.

Note: When using 64GB cards , if you p lan o n s hoo tin g one c on tin uous tak e gr ea ter then 3 hrs ( using NT FS s etup)
please note that some Non-Linear Editing Software cannot accept file sizes greater than 40GB, please make sure
your NLE is not one of them before you plan to shoot.

Set the Record Date (optional)

Use the menu path Setup, Record Setup Options, Set Record Date to enter today as the date for the files
being recorded.

Starting the Recording

Once you are ready to start the recording with the DN-60 navigate to the
Record Mode menu option and then press in the navigation button.

Select an empty Bin

Video clips are recorded into Bins on the DN-60. Bins are numbered from 0 to 99. Use the Bin/folder option to
select an empty bin. An empty Bin will display as 00:00:00;00 on the DN-60 LCD panel.

Recording

Once an empty bin has been chosen rotate the menu navigation button until the record circle icon is shown then
press in the navigation button to start the record process. You should see the Timecode counter value increasing.

End recording

To stop the record process rotate the menu navigation button until the square stop icon is shown then press in the
navigation button to end the recording. You should see the Timecode counter value remain on the same value
which also equals the full length of the recording in hours, minutes, seconds and frames. So 00:2 3:1 5;06 wou l d
equal a total record time of zero hours, 23 minutes, 15 seconds and 6 frames.

Prepare the files for editing

Before removing the CF ca rd from the DN-60 and before using the DN-60 CF card with a computer and seei ng
your video as files instead of clips the MAKE MEDIA FILES menu process under TOOLS mode must be
undertaken otherwise the computer may see a blank card.

This menu operation prepares the recorded video content on the CF card to be seen by a computer by building
pre-selected file wrappers around the recorded content and emulating the chosen computer file system. It takes
roughly 1 minute to prepare 1 hours worth of video.

HS-550 Audio Inputs, Levels, a nd Meters

Audio Monitoring

For output audio monitoring with headphones, set the rotary headphone volume control knob to the center. (4.); to
monitor through an amplifier and speakers, push the MASTER fader to -12 in the Audio Faders (1.) section.

Audio Input Level Calibration Procedure

The first step in s etting up the audio for a sess ion with your SE-500 consists of adjusting the levels on which
channel you will be using. Slide the Master fader to Max, and set the other faders to 0. Then, list eni ng to the aud io
and watching the Audio Level Meters (see b elow), s et the l evel with the fader so that the s ound is c onsisten tly at
between +0 dB (green LE D ) and +8 dB (yellow LED) a nd j us t barely peaks occ as ionall y to + 10 dB (red LED). T he
idea is to avoid any audible distortion (clipping), caused by making the signal level too high at this stage.

Three faders on the left represent the input volumes (CH-1, CH-2, AUX), which determine what signals are
present at the Main Output. If any of the faders are all the way down, there will be no audio from that input
channel heard at the output.

These faders corr espond with each input and control the relat ive volume of each input in the master output as
well as the master output le vel. When the faders are set to 0, they pass the audio signal through at the s ame level
it was at when it entered t his bus. You can inc rease or decr ease th e volum e of each c hannel b y movin g the f ader
up or down.

These meters show the au dio s ig na l leve l at th e Ma in outp ut. The strength of any audio sig nal t hat is rout ed to the
output will be d isplayed here. As mentioned above, these meters play a vital part in correctl y setting the audio
levels to avoid clipp ing or other distort ion. You’ll notice tha t the LEDs are gre en up through th e +0 dB level, tur n
yellow at +4 dB, and turn red at +10 dB. As you set the audio level for each input, make sure that the signal peaks
to +8 dB or very occasionally to +10 dB. Every time the signal goes to +12 dB, it will be distorted.

Use the Headphone s ection t o accurat ely monit or wit h the “Master” volum e output. In
many cases, headphones may be a more useful and accurate c hoice than speakers
for audio monitoring. For example, in a noisy club or at a concert, you won’t be able to
hear any additional sound coming through speakers. Headphones will also more
accurately reproduce the sound you wish to monitor at a lower cost than speakers.

Menu - Color Processor

The Color Processor controls work when you pr ess and hold the “Background” (9.)
button for 2 seconds or more, which is temporarily displayed at the Preview Output.
The controls shown are like picture controls on a video monitor or the proc amp
(processing amplifier) controls on a Time Base Corrector. In fact, they are the proc amp
controls of one of the SE-500’s 4 internal TBCs.

At the top of screen you will see 4 different channel numbers, each
represent an input from the SE-50 0 rear panel. On the left side of this
table are the 4 controls (Brightness, Contrast, Color, and Tint
(NTSC only)). Value 0 stands for Unity, or Unchanged. In either case, it
shows that the signal pass ing through that particular c ontrol is neither
boosted nor reduced. To move to another control, press the up or

down arrow button. To move to another channel, press the left or
right arrow button. To change the setting, press the + or - buttons.

You can see the extent of color processing available in this section by experimenting with the controls.
Brightness adjusts how light or dark the colors in the image will appear at the Video Output. The Contrast
controls affect the range between the lightest and the darkest parts of the image, including how much shadow and
highlight detail can be see n. Color controls the saturation or int ensity of the color image, f rom fully saturated or
extremely intense at the top of the scale to de-saturated or monochrome (black and white) at the bottom. The Tint
value controls the actual hue or specific co lour s in the i m age (NTSC only), in ef f ec t rotating all the c olo urs e q ual l y
around an imaginary colour wheel.

Reset

Works on the selected input source, and when pressed and held for 2 seconds, resets the Color Processor
controls for just that inpu t to 0 or unit y. (Press and hold the Res et button until you see th e im age shak e a bit an d
return to the unprocessed state.)

So how do you k now f or c er tain ho w ef f ec tive any of these adjus tments are? You c an s ee th e c ha nges by looking
at the Main Output on a video monitor, but how do you know if that reference is accurate?

The answer is: by having a calibrated m onitor that shows exactly, with referen ce to a standard, what the video
looks like. That standard has been described and agreed to by the Society of Motion Picture and Television
Engineers (SMPTE) and th e European Broadcas ters U nion (EBU), and is mos t comm only shown as “color bars.”
Color bars are an image consisting of columns and blocks of specific colors and gray tones. Because of
differences in televisi on standards , SMPT E bars and EBU bars do not look the sam e. They are use d in m uch the
same ways: when these are displayed on a monitor, the monitor can then be adjusted to meet the standard.
