Step 1: Connect Compass S2™ to Output Devices

Connect one of the two available “Main” video outputs to your projector and the “Main” audio output to a set of amplified speakers. Note that the second main video output may be connected to a local display monitor if the projection screen is not easily viewed by the operator.

Connect the “Preview” video output to a computer monitor and the “Preview” audio output to a second pair of powered speakers. (Note: The preview video output timing is identical to the main video output. If the main video output is set to 1280 x 1024, the preview monitor must be capable of that resolution.)

Step 2: Connect Input Sources to Compass S2™

Compass S2™ has eight universal video inputs that accept composite (NTSC & PAL), S-video, component, and computer video sources. Connect each type of video input source to Compass S2™ as indicated in the following table:

Compass S2™ has nine audio inputs that accept balanced and unbalanced signals for audio Sources 1 through 8 and a single Line input. A tenth input accepts several types of microphones. Connect each type of audio input source to Compass S2™ as indicated in the following diagram:

Step 3: Power Up

Connect Compass S2™ to 115 VAC power using the power cord supplied with the unit. Locate the power switch on the power entry module at the rear of the unit and turn the power on. The unit will flash all of the front panel illuminated keys in unison, first with red, then green, and then white. While the main board is initializing, “please wait” will be displayed. The front panel display will show the main menu which indicates the unit has powered up successfully.

Step 4: Power Up Display

The default power-up condition is to set the video to BLK (black screen input) as the “Main” source, Source 1 as the “Preview” video source, MUTE as “Main” audio source and Source 1 as the “Preview” audio source. The keys for the video and audio input sources currently selected for the main outputs will be red. The keys for the video and audio input sources currently selected for the preview outputs will be green. The remaining source selection keys will be yellow.

Step 5: Source Selection and Dissolve

The user can easily select any of the video and audio input sources as the current preview sources simply by pushing the corresponding video or audio source select key. Each time a new video and audio preview source is selected, the key for the selected source will turn green and the video and audio on the preview monitor and speakers will display output video and audio derived from the newly selected preview source. The currently selected preview source can be dissolved seamlessly to the main output by pressing the DSLV key. The preview video and audio sources automatically and seamlessly switch to the main video and audio outputs. See the manual for the “Audio Breakaway” feature.

Step 6: Select Desired Video Output Format

Set the video output from Compass S2™ to match the projector or other display device. Enter the Output Setup menu by depressing the OUTPUT SETUP key. The OUTPUT SETUP key will turn from white to red. An arrow “>” will be displayed next to “FORMAT.” Press the “Select” key. A solid block will start to flash in the arrow location. Rotating the encoder dial will scroll through the available output resolutions. Stop on the desired output resolution and press “Select.” The output is now set to the desired output format. Press the OUTPUT SETUP key to leave the Output Setup menu.

Step 7: Projector Adjustments

Proper projector setup is critical to optimize the quality of the output image. Once Compass S2’s output is set to match the native resolution of the projector, the scaling engine in the projector should be disabled. The methods used to disable the internal scaler within the projector vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Compass S2’s Output Setup menu allows the user to select test patterns that are used during projector adjustment. Please consult the operator’s manual for your equipment.

Step 8: Configure Video and Audio Input Sources

Compass S2™ will automatically lock to video applied to the eight universal inputs and will make a “best guess” at the video format (RGB, YUV, S-Video, NTSC/PAL) and all associated video parameters. While the “best guess” approach generally leads to an acceptable output image, it is strongly recommended that the user set up a configuration file to precisely define the video and audio parameters associated with each video and audio input pair before running a show. The use of configuration files provides consistent, repeatable operation and allows the user to adjust video and audio parameters for each source to optimize image and sound quality. Up to 64 configuration files can be stored for use. Each time a video or audio source is selected with the Source Selection keys, the configuration file associated with that source is automatically reloaded.

Setting up input configuration files is simple. Proceed as follows for each input:

1. Select the source you wish to work with as the Preview source.

2. Press the INPUT SETUP menu key. Examine the image on the Preview monitor and adjust the video input parameters as desired. The Input Setup menu is described in detail in Section 6.5 of the Installation and Operating Manual. Many of the parameters may require no adjustment, however, be sure that the INPUT TYPE menu item is selected to match the incoming source. Also verify that the type of sync indicated in the PROCESSING submenu matches the incoming source. Press the AUDIO button and enter the audio INPUT SETUP menu and adjust the video input parameters as desired.

3. When the input setup parameters have been set as desired, Press the INPUT SETUP button and enter the SAVE AS submenu to save the setup parameters as a file. The next available file number is automatically shown on the first line of the SAVE INPUT FILE menu. You can use this file number to create a new file or assign another number. The third line in the menu allows you to assign an eight-character file name to the file. Entry of a file name is optional. When the file number and name have been entered, select SAVE to save the configuration. The file is saved and automatically assigned to the source used for the input setup process. The input configuration file will automatically be recalled for use each time the source is selected.

Rack-Mount Installation

Compass S2 units are designed to be rack mounted and are supplied with front rack-mount hardware. Rear rackmount brackets are available as a kit and are recommended for use when units are mounted in transit cases. When rack mounting the unit, remember that maximum ambient operating temperature for the unit is 40 degrees C. Leave at least one inch of space on each side and at the front of the unit to make sure that the airflow through the fan and vent holes is not restricted. When installing equipment into a rack, distribute the units evenly to prevent hazardous conditions that may be created by uneven weight distribution. Connect the unit only to a properly rated supply circuit. Reliable grounding (earthing) of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.

Power Cord/Line Voltage Selection

Compass S2 is rated to operate with the following supplies:

Input Power: 85-264 VAC, 47-63 Hz Power Consumption: 175 watts maximum

The Compass S2 performs line voltage selection automatically. No user controls are required for line voltage selection.

WARNING

When the Compass S2 is used with 230-volt supplies, a UL listed line cord rated for 250 volts at 15 amps must be used. This cord will be fitted with a tandem prong-type plug.

VIDEO SOURCE SELECT and AUDIO SOURCE SELECT Keys

The user can easily select any of the input video sources as the current Preview source simply by pushing the corresponding AUDIO or VIDEO SOURCE SELECT key. Each time a new Preview source is selected, the key for the selected source will turn green and the Preview output will change to the newly selected source.

Buttons 1 through 8 are used to select the eight different input sources. The MUTE or BLK key can be selected to provide a muted audio or black video source for fade transitions.

The keys for the audio/video sources currently active on the Main output will be red. The keys for the source currently selected for the Preview output will be green. The remaining source selection keys will be yellow. The default powerup condition is to set MUTE audio and BLK video (black screen input) as the Main source and Source 1 as the Preview source.

A/V SEL Key

The A/V SEL key toggles between audio “Follow” mode and audio “Breakaway” mode. In audio “Follow” mode, the A/V key lights green, whereas in audio “Breakaway” mode, the key lights yellow.

Compass S2 15

A/V Follow Mode

This mode provides simple audio/video switching from either the audio source select keys or the video source select keys. If a key from either bus is selected, the corresponding key on the other bus will “follow” and light green. Any transition effected in this mode will be performed on both buses identically, with both audio and video transitioning in the same manner for the same amount of time.

A/V Breakaway Mode

Audio “breakway” mode separates audio and video selections and transitions. A selection from one of the video source select keys will not affect the audio source select bus in any way. Only a selection from the audio source select keys will effect a change of the audio preview output. In this mode, audio can be switched and transitioned without video selection or transition. Also in this mode, video can be switched and transitioned without audio selection or transition. Thus this mode separates the two selection buses and sources so they can be controlled independently.

EFFECTS Keys

The currently selected Preview source can be transitioned seamlessly to the Main output using one of the EFFECTS keys. After selecting a Preview source, simply press either CUT or DSLV. The Preview source will automatically and seamlessly switch to the Main output. Dissolve duration in audio/video “Follow” mode is programmed via the EFFECT menu between 0.0 and 5.0 seconds.

MIXER Keys

Two non-switched audio inputs, MIC and LINE, can be mixed with audio from the selected input channel. When a MIXER indicator is green, the mixer source is active on both Main and Preview. A mixer source is disabled when it’s indicator is yellow.

Menu Operation

The Menu Select keys are used to activate menus used to configure the unit for operation. Pressing one of the six Menu Select keys will call up the corresponding menu on the display. The operation of each menu is described in detail in the following sections of this document.

Once a menu is selected with the Menu Select keys, the Adjust control is used to scroll through the menus items. As the user scrolls through the menu items, a pointer at the left of the menu indicates the current position of the scroll bar. When the user reaches the menu item that needs to be changed, the Select key is used to select the menu item. The pointer at the left hand side of the display changes to a # symbol to indicate when a menu item is selected. The Adjust control can then be used to change the parameters associated with the menu item. When the desired parameter has been selected, the operator presses the Select key to enter the new values. The menu parameters are changed and the menu returns to scrolling mode.

The ESC key is used to return to scrolling mode without entering any changes made to a menu item. When this key is used, changes made to the selected menu item are discarded rather than entered as described for the Select key above.

1:1 Sampling Overview

In order to scale an image it must first be digitized. This is the process of changing the analog graphics signals (Red, Green, and Blue for example) into pixels stored in the Compass S2’s image memory. The default mode of the Compass S2 is to over sample the input image producing more samples than there are in the original source material. The over sampled image is then scaled to the final output resolution.

An approach called 1:1 Sampling produces a superior image by sampling the analog graphics signals at exactly the same rate as that of the original source. This allows the image to be reconstructed with the reduced digitizing artifacts. The 1:1 Sampling approach requires very accurate settings and even a small sampling error causes noise on the output image. Both the sample clock frequency and phase must be correct to obtain a properly sampled

22 Compass S

Page 31

image. Compass S2 incorporates automatic adjustments in the 1:1 Sampling mode.

Auto Config

To automatically set-up for 1:1 Pixel Sampling, the input image should have non-black data at the edges and have some amount of text or other graphics. The standard Windows GUI is a good example. With an appropriate image displayed on the active display, scroll to the Auto Config menu item and press Select. When the Auto Config menu item is activated, the unit examines the incoming video and automatically configures the system for 1:1 pixel sampling. Parameters in the H TOTAL, PHAS MAIN, PHASE PREVIEW, POSITION (R), and WIDTH (L) menu fields are calculated and loaded as part of the Auto Config process. In a couple of seconds, the image should return properly adjusted.

cmd cmd is any valid Graphics Board command, typically 2 to 6 alphabetic (non numeric) characters. arg arg1, arg2, … argn are required or optional parameters depending on the command used. <CR> carriage return (ASCII 13) terminates the command

A space (ASCII 32) must be inserted between the command and any arguments that follow. A space must also be inserted between all argument parameters except for the last argument in the chain.

All commands in RS232 mode must be terminated with a carriage return (ASCII 13). The carriage return will tell the command processor to begin execution of the command. If the command is not recognized as a valid command, a '? 4' is returned for unknown command where ‘4’ is a numeric error code for Command Not Available. If the command is recognized but the syntax is incomplete or required parameters are missing then '? 1' will be returned, where ‘1’ is a numeric error code for Command Format Error. See below for a complete description of Error Codes.

Query commands will return the following: =result number #

The '=' indicates a result from a command is following. The 'result' will follow directly after the '='. The value of the result will vary depending on the query command used. A new line will be generated and the prompt will indicate the system is ready for a new command.

Error Codes

Command Format Error 1 Command Range Error 2 Command Execution Error 3 Command Not Available 4

RS485 Mode

Single commands will be combined with a prefix, device number, command separator and suffix to form a command string as shown below:

Single Command Format:

32 Compass S

Page 41

Multiple Command Format:

prefix a single * character (ASCII 42). id id is the device number in the range of 1 to 32. This can be a single character for values less

than 10, no preceding zero is required. cmd cmd is any valid Graphics Board command, typically 2 to 6 characters in length arg arg1,2,n is any required or optional parameters needed for the command, separated by

spaces (ASCII 32) , separates multiple commands suffix a single '!' character (ASCII 33).

Example: *12XYZ A 9,9PDQY 1234,31WX 200 98!

The command string is started by the prefix character '*'. The first command follows directly after the prefix. The example shows that device 12 should process the XYZ command with A and 9 as parameters. A coma (ASCII 44) separates the commands. Device 9 will process the PDQY command with a parameter of 1234 and device 31 will process the WX command with parameters of 200 and 98. The suffix character '!' follows directly after the last command to end the command string.

Commands received in the command string will not be processed until the suffix character '!' is received. This format allows commands to be stack to the same or multiple devices and executed when the suffix '!' character is received by all units. Any incomplete or unknown commands will be ignored. The maximum number of commands that can be stacked per unit is 16. Each unit will only stack those commands assigned to it, even though all units receive the same command string.

During queue processing, no input buffer processing is performed. Characters sent through the serial port during queue processing are stored in the input buffer. If hardware flow control is not active, it is important to guarantee that the input buffer limit is not exceeded before completion of the last command string. Note: The command queue does not support backspace characters.

To minimize bus traffic the command words will be kept as short as possible. The units will not respond with prompts or any command error conditions. Echo will be disabled when RS-485 mode is selected.

Configuration Load and Save

These commands can be used to store or duplicate various Compass S2 configuration files (CFG's). The files can be loaded off the Compass S2 to a disk file on a PC.

Compass S2 33

Page 42

Download CFG

DL op nn sclr<CR> Parameters: Op - [I|P] Download Input library or Program Sequence Steps.

nn Selects the index number of the configuration. When Op = I, this number

can be zero for the current configuration or a number between 1 - 64 for a User Library Configuration. When Op = P, this number should always be 1.

sclr – [A|B|M|P] Used only when nn = 0, otherwise parameter not required.

Example: DL I 12<CR>

Downloads the input cfg number 12

This command will download a configuration file from the Compass S2 to the serial port. The download begins immediately after the command is initiated. The user should verify that the CFG is valid before downloading. The format of the CFG data is <SOH><LIB><Index><Size><BINARY DATA><Sx>

Where

<SOH> is StartOfHeader (0x01) <LIB> is the current library type, [I]nput or [P]rogram Sequence <Index> is the library index of this file, as a byte value. <Size> is the number of bytes in the binary data field, as a byte value. <BINARY DATA> is the data library structure in binary format. <Sx> is a 8 bit checksum in as a byte field, applied to binary data only.

Current file sizes are: Input Library - 211 bytes (1688 bits)

All files will have additional 4 bytes (32 bits) of header information added to them and 1 byte (8 bits) of checksum information at the end of the file.

Upload CFG

UL op nn s[8]<CR>

Parameters:

Op - [I|P] Upload Input library or Program Sequence Steps. nn Selects the index number of the configuration. When Op = I,

the number can be between 1 – 64 for a User Library Configuration. Use 0 to load the file into the index it originated from. When Op = P, the number needs to be 1.

S[8] Optional parameter to override the 8 character description of

the file.

Example: UL O 3<CR>

Uploads file to the output cfg location 3.

This command will upload a configuration file from the serial port to the Compass S2. The upload begins once a valid SOH character is detected indicating the start of header. This allows multiple units to receive the UL command and then wait to receive the same CFG file from a PC or source Compass S2.

PM-2002 Software Upgrade Instructions

Overview

The Compass S2 units built by FSR incorporate the system software in Flash memory. Flash memory allows easy upgrades without the need to send the unit back to the factory due to software changes.

The loader utility provides the capability to update the system Flash module with the latest revision of software. The upgrade utility can be run from a hard drive (recommended) or a floppy drive. Running the loader from a floppy drive is discouraged though due to the slow speeds associated with disk access.

Hardware Requirements

• IBM compatible computer with an available COM port

• Serial cable conforming to EIA RS-232 specifications (i.e. Standard Modem cable)

(The cable should have a DB-25 male connector on one end)

• PM-2002 unit

Software Requirements

• Windows 95/98/NT/2000

• Flash File Loader

• PM-2002 Software files

Downloading Necessary Files

Contact the FSR factory at 973-785-4347

Installing the Flash File Loader and Compass S2 Files

Before installing the files, it is recommended that all running programs be properly shut down.

1) Click on the Start button and select Run.

2) Click on the Browse button and locate the " COMPASS_S2_Rev#####.exe " file on your hard drive.

3) Double-click on this file and then click OK to start the installation process.

4) Follow the on screen instructions to complete the install.

Starting the Flash File Loader Utility

After the files have been installed the COMPASS_S2 Flash File Loader can be selected to run.

1) Click on the Start button and select Programs.

2) Find the FSR folder and select COMPASS_S2 Flash File Loader.

After the loader is running, you can learn more about its operation by selecting Help Topics under the Help.

Preparing to Upgrade the Compass S2 Unit

1) Plug the DB-25 male connector into the port labeled "Remote" on the back of the Compass S2 unit.

2) Make sure the other end of the cable is attached to the available COM port on the back of the computer

performing the upgrade.

3) In the loader program, click on the Configuration Menu and select RS232 Setup.

4) In the Communication Settings window, select the COM port the Compass S2 is attached to by clicking in the

Serial Port field.

5) The Compass S2 defaults to a baud rate of 38.4K. The Baud Rate field should reflect this.

6) Once this is done, click on the Save button to go back to the main loader screen.

Verifying Communications between the Computer and Compass S2 Unit

1) In the loader program, click on the Program menu and select Terminal Window.

2) A terminal window will open. Several status lights are shown at the bottom of the window as well as the

communication settings in the lower left corner of the window.

3) Turn the Compass S2 unit ON and wait for it to boot.

4) Back at the Terminal window, the CTS and DSR status lights should be RED. Pressing the Enter key a couple of

times will allow the system prompt "#" to be displayed on the screen.

5) If the CTS and DSR status lights are GREEN, then check the communication settings in the loader and verify the

COM port is correct and the communication parameters match with what is displayed in the CONFIG SERIAL menu on the Compass S2 unit.

6) If any of the communication parameters are changed within the loader, it is recommended that the Compass S2

unit be powered down and the verification process started over.

Uploading Files to the Compass S2 Unit

1) Once communications have been established and verified, click on the Start File Upload button to begin the

upgrade process.

2) The RED box next to this button will turn GREEN and two progress bars will show the status of the upload.

3) After several minutes, the loader utility will inform the user that the process is complete.

4) Once this is done, you must power down the Compass S2 unit and turn it back on for the software to take effect.

You can also close the loader utility at this time.

5) Verify the new software is in the system by looking for the version number in the TECH SUPPORT menu.

6) Once you have verified the version number, it is recommended that a factory reset be performed.
