1 System Overview

1.1 The MW-2E Product

This manual describes the func ti on o f the MW-2E, mixer/wipe unit. The MW-2E is designed as a replacement to the older MW-3/3E unit. Six MW-2E units can fit into an eyeheight 1RU chassis (FB-9 or FB-9E) making it twice as compact as the MW-3/3E unit. The MW-2E product also has a full 16 channels of audio as standard.

The MW-2E is an A/B (2-Input) SDI Mixer unit which will perform a variety of transitions commonly used in transmission and post production. The main features are as follows:

• A/B Mix/Cut transitions

• A/B Wipe transitions with 8 wipe patterns with coloured/soft borders

• 16 channel embedded Audio Mixing follows video transitions. (configurable

as mix or cut transitions, cut transitions suitable for dolby E splice)

• Embedded Audio transition can lead or lag video Transitions under automation.

• Embedded audio manipulation (LR swap, Mono….)

• Programmable (Auto) or manual transitions

• Preview Output with safe area generator built in.

• Internal Matte and Black Generator.

• Up to +/-32uS user definable synchronisation window for A/B Inputs

• External Digital Reference Input ensures output stability

• Transparent to all embedded signals

• 6 user memories

• Compatible with etherbox GPI/Tallies.

• FULLY software and firmware updatable using Flash technology.

• Mechanical relay bypass option available.

• Compatible with eyeheight geNETics automation protocol.

Figure 1 MW-2E Processing card.

Associated Equipment for the MW-2E

The MW-2E processing card requires the following in order to set up and operate the unit.

1. An etherbox chassis (FB-9E). Up to six MW-2E units and be installed in

one chassis.

2. A Flexipanel control surface such as an FP-9 or an FP-10.

2 Installation

This unit requires SDI digital video connections to the BNC connectors. The user should refer to the etherbox user manual for installation of the MW-2E into a chassis and connection of flexipanels. This will also describe the process of acquiring a processing card (in this case the MW-2E) by the Flexipanel which is necessary to access the menu structure within the MW-2E.

2.1 Connections on the MW-2E product

Figure 5 MW-2E connections

A Typical Connection diagram for the MW-2E is shown below. All signals, including the reference, are SDI.

3 Menu Control of the MW-2E

All GeNETics products are controlled using a generic menu system. This generic menu system is operated from a generic panel (Flexipanel FP-9 or FP-10). An FP-9 is shown below (An FP-10 has the same controls in a different layout style). For information about acquiring processor cards for control on a Flexipanel see the etherbox manual section 4.

3.1 Flexipanel controls.

Figure 7 Flexipanel (FP-9) controls.

3.1.1 Device Buttons.

There are 8 grey device buttons. These switch between the currently selected processing cards installed in the etherbox. It is also possible to select cards in another chassis if the I-Bus is connected to the other chassis.

3.1.2 Menu Navigation.

There are t wo ways to navigate from menu to menu.

1. Using the NEXT ane PREV buttons. These are for “Flat” menu structures. The NEXT and PREV LEDS will flash while further menus are available.

2. Using a GOTO ANOTHER MENU LCD button (as below coloured orange). This is more common and will take you straight to a relevant set of menus. Examples are the Play and UTILS menu’s shown on Figure 8.

3.1.3 Parameter adjustment of a green menu.

A green menu is one in which there is only one adjustable parameter. There are two ways to adjust the parameter in a green menu.

1. Press the green LCD button. This will increment the value in that window. This is most frequently done when the menu parameter is Textural for example switching a parameter between ON and OFF. In this case a button press is most natural.

2. Use the Rotary digipot (A,B,C or D) to adjust the parameter in the respective LCD window (A,B,C or D). The direction and speed of rotation enable numeric values to be set easily.

3.1.4 Parameter adjustment of a red menu

A red menu is one in which there is two or three adjustable parameters . In this case it is necessary to first select the menu by pressing the red button. When the red button is pressed it will turn green and either two or three of the rotary digipot LEDS will flash indicating that the respective rotary digipot will operate the respective parameter.

3.1.5 Information display

A Yellow menu (Which on most panels does look a light orange!) is one in which only information is displayed. An example of this is the software version display.

3.2 Memories

3.2.1 User Memories

The user memories are a generic feature of all eyeheight geNETics products. Six of these are included in the MW-2E. Parameters as shown in the RED menu numbers are saved.

3.2.2 Naming User Memories

The user memories can be named with up to 6 charac ter s . To do this plug in a PS-2 Keyboard into a Flexipanel and select the appropriate processor card with a device button. (See Figure 8 for connector location). T o nam e me mory 1, “TXroom”

1. Hit F9 function key. The LCD displays will change to text entry mode

2. Type “M01:TXroom” and then press enter.

3. You may get a “not acknowledged” message, this does not matter.

Other memories can be named in the same way but changing the 01 to another memory number.

3.3 Tamper Locking the MW-2E.

The user can lock specific menus or all the menus on the MW-2E so that it cannot be adjusted with a manual control panel. This does not effect automation.

To do this plug in a PS-2 Keyboard into a Flexipanel and select the appropriate processor card with a device button. (See Figure 8 for connector location). To lock only menu 5. (Next Logo for channel A)

1. Hit F9 function key. The LCD displays will change to text entry mode

2. Type “L05:” and then press enter.

A padlock symbol will appear on the menu and it cannot be adjusted. To unlock menu 5, type “A05:” as step 2 above. Other menus are done in the same way

To lock the whole product type “L:” as step 2 above and to unlock the whole product type “A:” as step 2 above.

3.4 Configuring tallies on the etherbox.

The MW-2E can make use of the three configurable tallies on the etherbox chassis. The etherbox chassis has three usable talli es. Thes e ar e nu mbered tallies 11,12 and 13. Set up these menus for the box number and tally number for A channel and B channel inputs of the mixer on men u num ber 45. I f you do not wish to use a tally set the box number to 0. Refer to the etherbox manu al for interface information.
