& EFFECT CONTROL

The 2 outputs are completely independent. Each output is scalable in a wide
set of formats and available both in DVI digital format and RGBHV analogue
format on connector HDD15p.

Each output channel permits concurrent display of 2 inputs, creating 2
independent windows, MAIN and PIP whose size and position can be set
freely.

The unit performs switching through the Fading, Mixer or Cut effect. Fade and
Mixer time is programmable. These modes are available both in automatic
and in mauial mode. A Preview function is also available to switch the image
of OUT1 on OUT2.

An Overlay function is also available which permits subtitling or overlay
effects between images.

The DVIPRO1000 features 8 different global preset memories that can be
saved and recalled by the user.

The basic commands for control of the machine are available from the
machine keyboard with lighting keys, where an LCD display shows its
complete status.

Using the remote control, it is possible to access all the functions, including
the programming menu.

All functions can also be accessed via a RS232 serial interface and LAN
connection.

The related balanced stereo audio channel is associated to each input.
Output volume can be regulated in digital mode for each single input and for
each single output.

The HDMI channel is fitted with a specific SPDIF internal decoder which is
activated when the audio is contained in the HDMI stream.

3.0 CONNECTIONS

Connect the single inputs to the respective connector on the back of the
DVIPRO1000.
For inputs 1 and 2, available only on connector HDD15p, in the case of
connection of Component, YC or CVBS signals, the specific VGA-5BNC type
ADC201 adapter cable must be used on which correspondence is as follows:

GREEN = CVBS, or Y of YC or Y of the component
BLUE = C of the YC or Pb of the component
RED = Pr of the component

For inputs 3, 4, 5 and 6 available on connector HDD15p. and on 3 separate
BNC, connect only one source for each input

For inputs 7 and 8, available on connectors DVI-I, HDMI and 3 separate BNC,
connect only one source for each input

WARNING

Never connect more than 1 source at a time to the universal inputs

in order to prevent damage to the sources or to the DVIPRO1000

Connect the destinations to the related output connectors of the
DVIPRO1000. Resolution can be set for each output.: the DVI and VGA
channels of each output will have the same resolution and setting of the
image.

Connect the inputs and balanced audio outputs on the dedicated terminals.
As regards the HDMI input, as the digital audio signal is already contained in

the HDMI signal, it is not necessary to connect a separate audio signal on IN8
as the DVIPRO1000 is able to decode the audio present in the HDMI signal
and convert this into a traditional analogue signal on the selected output.

If a separate audio is to be associated with the 8 HDMI input, it is necessary
to program the format of input IN8 as DVI instead of HDMI.

In order to give a better and quicker intellegibility of the system , each key has
An internal red/green/yellow light , with the following scheme;

- Keys from 1 to 8 for both the Out channels : in each row , the
green light is for the Main input , while the red light is for the Pip
input . During the switching phase , the new channel will blink. If both
Main and Pip inputs are the same , then the light will be yellow
(red+green). If Pip is disabled , the red light brightness is lower. In
Mixer and cut modes , the channel Key will blink yellow during the
preparing phase , then it will become green when it is ready to
switch,

- Format key : it will blink during the format selection , together with
the channel key (1 to 8) in programmino.

- Overlay key : red or green or yellow upon the state of the overlay on
the channels (yellow = both channels)

- Save/Recall key: yellow light during these modes

- Preview key 12: it blinks yellow during the transfer of the

configuration from OUT1 to OUT2 : also the interested channel keys
of the second row will blink

was displayed, will refresh the display.
With regard to input 8, if this is used in HDMI format, the related digital audio
stream inserted in the HDMI signal will be automatically decoded by the
DVIPRO1000. If the audio is to be provided separately in analogue format on
input 8 audio, input 8 must be programmed as DVI format.

WARNING

Format changing is possibile only in Fading Mode.

In Mixer and Cut Mode the operation is not permitted

4.3 Source selection

To select the inputs, use buttons 1 to 8 relating to outputs OUT1 and OUT2
on the front keyboard. Switching is performed in a programmable time of 0 to
3 seconds according to Fading, Mixer or Cut mode.
If the input selected is VGA analogue format, at initial power-on of the
machine, an automatic “AUTOADJUST” procedure will be performed for
improved centering of the image on the screen: subsequent switching
operations will not require this phase except in the case in which the format of
the source in input is modified or if it is connected to a new VGA source.
During this phase , the key of the interested channel will blink fast.

4.4 Activation of the PIP and selection of its source

To activate the PIP on an output channel, proceed as follows:
Press the key relating to the channel currently present on the MAIN; holding
down the key, also press at the same time the key relating to the input that is
to be displayed in PIP: the window will be activated to the bottom right.
Subsequently, from the remote control or using serial commands, it will be
possible to modify the size and position of the MAIN and PIP windows (see
paragraph 6.1.2 and paragraph 7.4).
If repeated, the same operation to activate the PIP will cause de-activation of
this.
