Installation, Connections, Set up

Some General Notes on Installation

There are a few other things to be aware of when you are installing and integrating the SE-1000. Please make sure you have read the Warnings and Precautions section on page 3.

The SE-1000 sends and receives video signals. You need to be aware that cable lengths, impedance,

rossing power cords, and adaptors might interfere with video transmission, particularly analogue signals.

c The cautions below, with the exception of physical damage, will give you the general idea about cabling for video.

We strongly recommend you use video and audio cables that are roughly the right length to connect between components. The longer the cable, the more noise and deterioration of the video signal can be introduced. We strongly recommend that you check the integrity of each cable before installation by using a continuity tester (available from most electronic and video supply stores). Cables can fail over time, with use, by someone walking on them, carts rolling over them, or even for no apparently good reason. It will happen eventually. Have a continuity tester handy and save yourself some troubleshooting headaches.

Make sure you don’t run video/audio cables and power lines together, on top of each other, or across each other. This is another good way to introduce noise and signal degradation.

Cable connectors will eventually become dirty or oxidation will start. The dirt can cause a bad connection or introduce noise in the signal. It is advisable to buy some electrical contact cleaning products. Use adaptors if you must, but keep in mind that each connector is one more accident waiting to happen, one more place the signal can be degraded or broken.

Finally, for examples of how to connect and integrate the SE-1000 into a variety of set ups, take a look at the brief Quick Start on page 9 and the more in depth explanations in Sample Applications on page 29.

Power up State

When you first power up the SE-1000, you will need to check the settings on each channel. Once set, all the settings are non-volatile (they will be retained).

On first power up, channel 1 will be the selected Main Video Source (PGM/A) and channel 2 will be the selected Sub Video Source (PST/B). On all subsequent power ups the video sources will be just as they were when the unit was switched off.

Settings that are retained are: Video input / output format, DVI mode, format & phase, sync mode (BBST INT), bus mode (A/B P/P), crosspoint assignment & switching, output signal phase, network settings and all of the DAC-40 settings.

Control Panel

The SE-1000 control panel looks like this:

The layout is clearly labelled, and easy to follow. Many of the buttons have more than one function and are

labelled with different descriptions. For example the nine wipe buttons also have secondary functions when

the [FUNC] button is lit; these secondary functions are printed beneath each key.

Here is a guide to each part of the control panel:

1 Power On/ Off switch. Switched to the “I” position power is on, and in the “O” position power is off.

When power is On the Power Light (2) should light up. You will notice that the power switch has been designed to prevent the SE-1000 from being accidentally switched off.

2 Power and Alarm LEDs. The Power LED is lit when the SE-1000 is powered on. The Alarm LED will

light up if there is a problem detected, for example if the fan has stopped running or the DC voltage has dropped. The Status Display in the LCD Panel (15) will indicate the nature of the problem.

N.B. If the alarm LED remains lit please contact your local Datavideo office.

3 Source Selector Buttons - AUX / KEY-S / KEY-F.

When a PST/B bus crosspoint button (5) is pressed while the [AUX] source selector button is held down, the AUX signals are selected.

When a PST/B bus crosspoint button (5) is pressed while the [KEY-S] or [KEY-F] source selector

utton is held down, the key signals are selected.

b While a button is held down, it is illuminated amber. In addition, if the [CLN], [PVW] or [PGM] wipe pattern selector button (18) is pressed while the [AUX] button is held down, the button will operate as an AUX bus selector switch. [CLN]: Clean signals are output to the AUX bus. [PVW]: PVW signals are output to the AUX bus.

[

4 PGM / A bus crosspoint buttons 1 to 7. These buttons are used to select the PGM / A video source.

If the SE-1000 is set to P/P (PGM/PST) mode, also known as flip-flop mode, then the PGM video signal is always selected here. If a button is illuminated Red it is Live, if it is illuminated Green it is Cued

5 PST / B bus crosspoint buttons 1 to 7. These are used to select the PST / B bus video signals. If the

SE-1000 is set to P/P mode (flip-flop), the cued images (PST) are selected here. When a B bus crosspoint button is pressed while one of the source selector buttons (3) is held down, KEY signals or AUX signals are selected. If a button is illuminated Red it is Live, if it is illuminated Green it is Cued

6 BKGD button - Background

This executes the background transition when the [AUTO] button (10) or T Bar (11) has been operated. When the [BKGD] button is pressed and it is selected, it is illuminated amber. If the [KEY] button (9) is now pressed, the indicator goes off, and the de-selected status is established. However, when the [BKGD] button and [KEY] button are pressed at the same time, both buttons are set to the selected status; they are both illuminated amber.

N.B. The selection status cannot be changed while the SE-1000 is in the middle of a transition.

7 MIX button. This is used to select a simple mix or cross dissolve. When the MIX button is active it is

illuminated amber. If the [WIPE] button (8) is selected the Mix button will go out. When the [AUTO] button (10) or T Bar (11) is operated a cross dissolve will be executed.

8 WIPE button. This is used to select wipe as the transition, whichever wipe button is highlighted in the

wipe pattern selector buttons (18) will become the active transition. When the [AUTO] button (10) or T Bar (11) is operated a wipe will be executed. If the [MIX] button (7) is selected the WIPE button will go out.

9 KEY button and LED Indicator. This executes the key transition (MIX) when the [AUTO] button (10)

or T Bar (11) is operated. When the [KEY] button is pressed and it is selected, it’s illuminated amber. When a transition is executed and the key ON status is established, the LED above the [KEY] button is illuminated red. When another transition is executed and the key OFF status is established, it goes out. If the [BKGD] button (6) is pressed, the [KEY] button goes out, and the de-selected status is established. However, when the [BKGD] button (6) and [KEY] button are pressed at the same time, both buttons are set to the selected status; both will be amber.

N.B The selection status cannot be changed while the SE-1000 is in the middle of a transition.

10 AUTO button. Automatically executes a transition according to the speed parameters that have been

set. During an auto transition the [AUTO] button is illuminated red. When the transition is complete the AUTO button goes out. If you press the [AUTO] button during an auto transition the button will change from red to green, this pauses the transition, pressing the [AUTO] button again will release the pause and complete the rest of the transition. If the [AUTO] button is pressed while the T Bar (11) is midway through a transition, then the transition will be automatically completed at the speed parameter that has been set.

11 T-Bar and LED Bus Indicators. The T Bar is used to carry out a manual transition such as a wipe,

fade, mix or key. When it has travelled as far as it can go the transition is complete.

The LED indicators alongside the T Bar indicate which bus PGM/A or PST/B is live. The live bus is

ndicated by a green LED. During a transition both LEDs will be green, as both PGM/A and PST/B

i will be live until the transition is complete.

Set Up Menu 2/15 - DVI Input Mode

Press the [FUNC] button, so that it is illuminated, and then press the [SET UP] button, so that it is also illuminated. Rotate Adjustment Knob F1 until DVIIN 2/15 is displayed

The recommended screen resolutions for the DVI input are 1024 x 768 (XGA) and 1280 x 1024 (SXGA).

The DVI input can be set to digital or analogue according to the type of signal you want to use. Use Adjustment Knob F2 to change the setting.

You can set the scaling of the DVI image to normal (NORM) or full (FULL) by rotating Adjustment Knob F3, please see the following table.

NORM - Fills the screen vertically but maintains the aspect ratio of the original format. FULL - Stretches the image to fill the screen horizontally and vertically.

N.B. Please also read Set Up Menu 13/15 DVI Phase / Position Settings (Page 23).

Set Up Menu 3/15 - Frame Synchroniser

Press the [FUNC] button, so that it is illuminated, and then press the [SET UP] button, so that it is also illuminated. Rotate Adjustment Knob F1 until FS 3/15 is displayed

By default all inputs of the SE-1000 are set with the frame synchroniser on.

With Inputs 1 to 5 you can switch the frame synchroniser on or off; the frame synchroniser on input 6 (DVI) is always on.

Use Adjustment Knob F2 to select the input, and Adjustment Knob F3 to set On or Off. To leave the menu press the [FUNC] button so that it is no longer illuminated.

If you choose to set the frame synchroniser to off, the SE-1000 uses an automatic signal phase adjustment (AVDL) which will adjust the input signal phase to the horizontal synchronisation reference signal phase. Please also refer to Menu 6/15 Output Phase Adjustment.

Set Up Menu 4/15 - Video Format Setting

Press the [FUNC] button, so that it is illuminated, and then press the [SET UP] button, so that it is also illuminated. Rotate Adjustment Knob F1 until FORMT 4/15 is displayed

The SE-1000 can only be set to one format. It is not possible to combine SD and HD signals on different inputs. The format mode selected must match the format of the inputs being used. To set the format, rotate Adjustment Knob F2 until the format you require is being displayed, then press Adjustment Knob F4 to confirm the setting. The active format will be marked with an * ; in the example above 1080 / 59i is the active format. To leave the menu press the [FUNC] button so that it is no longer illuminated.

Set Up Menu - 5/15 Ref - Internal External Sync.

Press the [FUNC] button, so that it is illuminated, and then press the [SET UP] button, so that it is also illuminated. Rotate Adjustment Knob F1 until REF 5/15 is displayed.

The SE-1000 can be set to either internal or external synchronisation.

If the SE-1000 is set to internal synchronisation it can cleanly switch asynchronous video inputs. In any of the external synchronisation modes a reference signal will be required.

There are three external modes available:

BBST - Black Burst Signal (vertical phase of 0H)

BBAD - Black Burst Signal (vertical phase of 90H for 59.94i / p formats, or 75H for 50i / p formats)

(Available in HD Formats only)

TRI - Tri-Level Sync Signal (vertical phase of 0H)

(Available in HD Formats only)

To change the sync mode rotate Adjustment Knob F2 until the required setting is displayed, and then press Adjustment Knob F4 to confirm the setting.

The active format will be marked with an *; in the example above INT is the active format. To leave the menu press the [FUNC] button so that it is no longer illuminated.

Menu 6/15 Output Phase Adjustment

Press the [FUNC] button, so that it is illuminated, and then press the [SET UP] button, so that it is also illuminated. Rotate Adjustment Knob F1 until OUPHS 6/15 is displayed.

The phase of the video output signals can be adjusted as follows:

By rotating Adjustment Knob F2 you can choose between 0H or 1H:

0H - The output video signals are output to the system REF signal output in-phase. In this mode the frame synchroniser should be ON for all inputs.

1H - The output video signals are output to the system REF signal output with 1H delay.

You can adjust Horizontal Phase (HPHS) by rotating Adjustment Knob F3, the range varies according the system format that you selected - see chart.

Video Format

1080 / 59i -1100 to 1099 1080 / 50i -1320 to 1319 720 / 59i -825 to 824 720 / 50p -990 to 989 480 / 59i -429 to 428 576 / 50i -432 to 431

Adjustment Range

Vertical Phase (VPHS) can be adjusted by rotating Adjustment Knob F4. To leave the menu press the [FUNC] button so that it is no longer illuminated.
