INTRODUCTION

The MAS-7000 is a multi-purpose Video Switcher/Scaler is ideal for boardroom and house of worship presentation
systems. The MAS-7000 provides high quality scaling from Standard Defi nition, High Defi nition and Computer video
sources to resolutions that match your projector, plasma or HD display.

The MAS-7000A adds a 4x1 stereo audio routing switcher with balanced output and adjustable delay to keep the audio
and video in sync. A rear panel terminal block provides input and output access.

Both models have two Composite Video Inputs (BNC), two S-Video Inputs (4 pin Mini-DIN), one Component Video
Input (3 RCA), one Computer /Component Input (HD-15) and one DVI-D Input on a DVI-I connector. Both NTSC and
PAL are supported.

The units have one Computer/Component output on an HD-15 connector and one DVI-D output on a DVI-I connector
The scaled output is adjustable at any computer resolution up to 2048x2048 as well as all HDTV resolutions up to 1080p.

All settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are retained even when power is switched off. Ten user
defi ned presets are also available to customize settings for various applications. A front panel LCD makes setup easy.

The MAS-7000 can be controlled in a variety of ways. The front panel along with an LCD display handle all set-up and
switching features. The 7000 can also be remotely controlled from the FSR Room Navigator, an external control system
via the RS-232 serial port or the IR Port.

To make IR control easy and painless, all IR codes are provided in a CCF format and are available on the FSR web site.
These can be used in nearly any universal remote control or from any control system with IR output.

In addition to the standard scaling and switching capabilities, the MAS-7000 has pan, zoom and a host of other features
normally found on much more expensive products. Variable Zoom to 10X enlarges any part of the computer screen to
fi ll the entire video screen and position controls allow movement to any area desired. Variable Shrink to as little as 10%
allows fi tting the image onto most displays. The high sampling rate ensures crisp, clear images, while full bandwidth
chroma sampling ensures faithfully reproduced, high resolution colors. Motion compensation, diagonal interpolation and
a 3:2 Pull-down feature for NTSC signifi cantly improve the image quality. Temporal interpolation greatly improves frame
rate conversion by analyzing and merging successive frames. Pixel Level Motion Adaptive Diagonal Interpolation ensures

high quality de-interlacing of PAL and NTSC signals.

FEATURES:

• Automatic Incoming Resolution Detection

• 2 Outputs: 1 Computer/Component, 1 DVI-I

• Inputs: 2 Composite; 2 S-Video; 1 Component; 1 Computer / Component; 1 DVI-I

INSTALLATION

The MAS-7000 mounts easily into a standard 19” rack. It should be placed in an area where the user can easily
access the front panel controls. The units are designed to be rack mounted and are supplied with front rack­mount hardware.

When rack mounting the unit, remember that the maximum ambient operating temperature for the unit is 40
degrees C. Leave at least one inch of space front and rear to make sure that the airfl ow 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.

[ 2] Load Store Erase

1024 x 768 60Hz
Output res. [61]

Menus are arranged so that a particular general function has a menu name on the top line and beneath that
either a sub-menu or one or more related individual settings are displayed.

In some cases the functionality is global – meaning it has an effect on the unit as a whole (such as changing
the output resolution). In the majority of cases, the function is related to a specifi c operational area of the unit,
detailed by the text in the top line.

There are two screens that appear before the Group Menus (sub-menus) are accessed. These screens are for
informational purposes and are not adjustable

The fi rst is the ‘welcome’ display shown above indicating the model of the unit.
The next menu item displays the fi rmware information screen (the numbers on your unit will be different to
those shown).
At the end of all Group Menus will be an ‘Exit’ item. Simply select this to exit the existing menu structure and
return to the previous one in the hierarchy.

ADJUST PRESET

Adjust Preset
[ 2] Load Store Erase

You can store up to ten presets using the adjust Preset menu. Stored Presets contain saved operating parameters
and can be stored and recalled at any time. Select a preset number then choose either Load to call up a
previously store Preset or Store to save current settings to a new preset. Storing over an existing Preset will over
write the stored operating parameters with the current ones.

OUTPUT ADJUST GROUP

This menu group allows adjustments to be made that specifi cally affect the output of the unit, including output
resolution and locking/overlaying onto a computer or video source.

the current output resolution selected.

Output Adjust
HDCP [ON OFF]

HDCP is a ‘High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection’ system, which can ensure that a high defi nition video
signal cannot be received by units not equipped with a HDCP receiver. This menu lets you see the current status
of the output and whether HDCP is supported or active, and also lets you turn off the output’s HDCP encryption
system. Note, however, that turning HDCP off at the output will also prevent HDCP-encrypted signals from
being received by the unit –see the table below. By default, HDCP on the output is turned On -so that if your
attached DVI display is HDCP-compliant, then your output will be encrypted (regardless of whether the input to
the scaler is encrypted). Note that you don’t have to attach a display to the output of the scaler –another unit can
be connected instead, in which case that unit is known as a ‘repeater’. Please also see the HDCP menu item in
‘Input Adjust under DVI-D’, as this controls availability of HDCP at the DVI input. The status message given in
brackets has the following meaning:

When parameter ‘Aspect Adjust’ later in this sub-menu is set to ‘Advanced’, this display is made accessible.
It allows the independent setting of the horizontal and vertical zoom values. The third number (1.333 in the
example) is the Aspect Ratio resulting from the adjustments, which is automatically calculated for you based on
the incoming resolution and the H & V Zoom values.

Most resolutions are 4:3 ratio, thus the third number will be 1.333 (4 divided by 3). Another common aspect
ratio is 16:9 (16 divided by 9 = 1.777). PAL and NTSC inputs are physically 4:3 on your video monitor, but their
actual pixel/line ratios are different and so will not display as 1.333.

H/V CROP % [ 0] [ 0]

This allows the scaled image to be cropped at the top/bottom edges, or at the sides. Typically, this is used when
performing a picture-in-picture (PIP) function (only available on certain models), where the incoming video
signal has a letter box or pillar box size (i.e. it has black areas at the top/bottom or sides).
By adjusting the H/V values, you can crop out the black areas to correct the size on the fi nal output screen.
Note that cropping does not change the shape or aspect ratio of the image –but just removes the parts of the im­age that are not required.

Scaler Adjust
Shrink level% [ 50] [On]

Shrink Level determines the percentage of the monitor’s total available screen space that the selected Window
image occupies. Adjustment is provided for a reduction down to 10% of the overall output size. In most cases,
this feature is used for picture-in-picture (PIP) when a background image is being used (for units with overlay
abilities).

Note that this feature is ‘Off’ by default, so that the full image size of 100% is used. It can be adjusted by using
the “U.SCAN” (under-scan) command on RS-232 port or the infrared remote control input.

Shrink H/V % [100] [100] 1.333

When parameter ‘Aspect Adjust’ in the System Menu structure is set to ‘Advanced’, this display is made

example) is the Aspect Ratio resulting from the adjustments, which is automatically calculated for you based on
the output resolution (the actual pixels & lines, not your physical screen size) and the H & V Shrink values.

Most resolutions are 4:3 ratio, thus the third number will be 1.333 (4 divided by 3). Another common aspect
ratio is 16:9 (16 divided by 9 = 1.777). Therefore, to convert your 4:3 output into a 16:9 output, reduce the
vertical (V) Shrink value to 75% and this will simulate a 16:9 output. PAL and NTSC inputs are physically 4:3
on your video monitor, but their actual pixel/line ratios are different and so will not display as 1.333.

Scaler Adjust
Aspect adjust[Simple]

This parameter is used in conjunction with the Zoom and Shrink functions. When set to “Advanced”, it allows
the horizontal (H) and vertical (V) components of the Zoom and Shrink functions to be adjusted independently,
thus allowing custom aspect ratios to be created, or to convert from one aspect ratio to another. When left as
“Simple”, the H/V components of Zoom and Shrink are adjusted equally i.e. H is equal to V.

The ‘Aspect adjust’ parameter is used to change the way that scaling of windows is controlled. By default it
is set to ‘Simple’ which allows basic control of the window zoom and shrink sizes and positions –enough for
simple tasks. In ‘Advanced’ mode, it allows the horizontal (H) and vertical (V) components of the Zoom and
Shrink functions to be adjusted independently, thus allowing custom aspect ratios to be created, or to convert
from one aspect ratio to another. In ‘Pixel’ mode, the user has direct access to pixel and line-accurate scal­ing functions. This lets the user specify the exact co-ordinates and size of the source image (within the video
source), and the position and size of where this is placed in the output video signal. The table below summa­rizes the different menu items in the different modes –the ‘Simple’ items have already been described earlier in

Scaler Adjust
Temporal interp. [Off]

This is a feature only present in advanced units only. It greatly improves the method of frame-rate conversion,
by allowing the unit to merge frames together during the process. When ‘Off’, the unit will use frame-repetition
when converting 50Hz to 60Hz (i.e. it has to duplicate every 5th frame), or frame-dropping when converting
60Hz to 50Hz (i.e. it has to drop every 6thframe). When ‘On’, smooth blending is applied so that frames are not
lost, but blended together at the appropriate times.

The choices are:

• SHOW- leaves the image and shows all the image noise and breakup

• FREEZE- displays a still frame of the last good image

• BLUE- displays the typical blue screen on video loss

• BLACK- same as BLUE except for a black display.

• REMOVE- removes video information including sync from the output. The output appearance will

depend on how the display handles a video loss or poor signal.

Input: RGB1
Audio input Number [1]

This menu item selects the desired Audio input for use with the active video source, allowing an audio-follow­video function. This is only functional with the MAS-7000A.

The default for the fi rst 4 video inputs is to assign each video input an audio input from 1 to 4. For example,
video input 1 receives audio input1, video input 2 receives audio input 2 etc. However this can be easily changed.
You could have all video inputs using the same audio input by setting the ‘Audio input’ value for all video inputs
to the desired audio input value.

Input: RGB1
Phase Adjust [ 16]

Since an image pixel is a very small element of the total image, it’s possible for your unit’s Analog to Digital
converters to wrongly sample the picture on the edge of each pixel thereby losing image resolution and creating
image noise. The Input pixel phase adjustment allows you to change the position (from 0 to 31) where the pixels
are sampled, relative to the horizontal sync signal.

To make this adjustment, select an RGB input and then provide an image from that source with fi ne detail,
preferably with very sharp vertical lines. Adjust this value until you see the sharpest image. Alternately, adjust
this value to give the worst (noisiest/softest) image, and then add or subtract 16 to get the optimum value.

Note that the AUTOSET function (for RGB inputs only) will attempt to automatically work out the best value for
this setting.

different contrast to other, or if they all need to be boosted or lowered.

Input: RGB1
YUV Black Level [0] [7.5] IRE

The YUV Black level changes the setup level for the incoming video signal. Traditionally, NTSC video required
setup to be at 7.5 IRE while most HD video has setup at 0 IRE. Selecting the incorrect value may result in
blacks that can look washed out or too dark. Also, when set to 0 IRE, colorspace conversion for YPbPr signals is
based off of ITU-R BT.709 standard used for HD video, as opposed to the ITU-R BT.601 standard used for SD
video when the black level is set to 7.5 IRE.

Input : RGB1
De-int [M.comp med]

An interlaced input consists of two fi elds separated in time. Both fi elds are required in order to make up the full
resolution input image, but since they are sent one after the other, a moving image will have “motion artifacts”
if the two fi elds are simply combined together. The most common artifact is a blurring at the point of maximum
movement within an image. Your unit provides some tools to minimize the effects of de-interlacing of an image

HDCP is supported on certain units only - and only on the DVI input connector. This menu item lets you
change whether HDCP is active on this particular DV input. If turned ‘Off’, then a source that requires HDCP

If you change this value, you’ll need to store your settings and then re-boot the unit at least once to ensure that
the source sees that the EDID data has changed.
It should also be noted that some graphic cards will require your PC to be re-booted before they see that a
change has occurred If your unit allows ‘HDMI’ to be selected, this can also enable certain audio features de­pending on the abilities of your unit.

User defi nable (see “EDID Capture”)

Input: DVI-D
EDID Capture [MEM] [GRAB]

This menu provides a simple way of capturing EDID data from an attached DVI or HDMI monitor and storing it
in one of the user-defi nable EDID memory data blocks (Mem1 to Mem6) – see previous menu.
To capture a different display’s EDID, perform the following

1. Connect that display to the DVI output of the unit - the unit will then read it automatically and
store it in the ‘Mon’ EDID entry.

2. Select which EDID memory (Mem1 to Mem6) to copy this information to.

3. Select ‘Grab’ and click on it - this will copy the current monitor’s information to that EDID
memory.

4. Change ‘EDID to use’ to that memory location (Mem1 to Mem4).

5. Store your unit’s settings (see earlier in this manual on how to do this).

6. Re-boot (turn off and on again) the unit to ensure that the graphic card uses this new EDID
data (you may need to re-boot your computer as well).

Using the above, up to 4 custom EDID settings can be stored in the unit, ready for recall

later. This is useful to simulate another display being attached to a graphic card.

Of the above Input Menu items, the Autoset sense and Autoset status functions, RGB type and Pixel phase are
specifi c to RGB signals only. The rest of the Input menu items function with RGB, CV or YC type signals. In
addition, there are four additional Menu items that are only used with CV or YC type signals and these are
explained below:

Input: YC1
Bright [100] Contrast [100]

Adjusts the Brightness and Contrast of the image to your requirement.

Input: YC1
Color [100] Hue [0]

Color is the amount of color saturation present in the image. Hue is the color “tint” parameter and the
adjustment range is +90 degrees through to -90 degrees with 0 being the default.

Input: YC1
Sharpness [0]

Within limits, you can enhance or soften the appearance of detail within an image. The Sharpness values go
both negative and positive, with 0 being the default. Note that over-enhancing an image has the side effect of
making it appear to be noisy and under-enhancing an image gives the appearance of poor video quality.

Input: YC1
Luma delay [ 0]

On occasion, a video input will have the color portion of the signal offset from the luminance portion. If you’ve
ever seen a poor quality comic book that has the outline of the cartoon character’s head in one place on the page
but the fl esh tones for the head offset slightly, you are seeing the print equivalent of Luminance to Chrominance
Phase Delay. Fortunately, your unit provides a way for you to make the two signals occur at the same time on
the selected image. The adjustment range provides both positive and negative levels of delay with 0 being the
default.

The Resolution Database is used by your unit to identify any incoming video signal and is also used to create an
output resolution. It is therefore a very important part of the unit’s infrastructure.

The Adjust Resolutions Menu Group only appears when the Advanced Menus function is turned on

IMPORTANT CAUTIONARY INFORMATION:

DO NOT ADJUST THESE ITEMS UNLESS YOU’RE CERTAIN YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE
DOING! THE ONLY METHOD TO UNDO CERTAIN CHANGES IS TO UPDATE THE FIRMWARE.

TRY USING THE AUTOSET, SHRINK, SHRINK POS, TL & BR ADJUSTMENTS FIRST.

Making adjustments here risks creating a non-standard resolution that is not displayable on a monitor. The
resolutions and values within the database are industry standards and should not normally be altered by the user.
That said, there might be times when it is necessary to create a custom resolution with specifi c parameters. If
circumstances require you to make such a change, please read the following specifi c notes:

1. Any changes made to this database take effect instantly and are also stored immediately in non-

volatile memory.

2. Since this database is used for both input and output image processing, altering a resolution that is

used for both (e.g. 1024x768 input and 1024x768 output) may give undesired effects.

or many digital display devices, such as TFT monitors, will display an image with an odd moiré effect – such as
soft vertical bands spread evenly across the image.

800 x 600 60 Hz

There is a period of time between the end of the Horizontal Sync pulse and the start of Active Video. This
portion of the waveform signal is called the “Back Porch”, a term originating with the television broadcasting
industry and its RS-170A specifi cation. In practice, this will control where the video image starts on the left
side of the monitor without changing the width of the sync pulse itself (another way to control where the image
area starts). The two parameters control where the back porch is positioned and they interact to a degree.

NOTE: By adjusting these parameters, you control the start of the back porch (with respect to the trailing

edge of Horizontal Sync) and also its width. The place where the Back Porch begins with respect to the
Horizontal Sync pulse and the width of the Back Porch have a direct bearing on where the active (visible)
portion of the image begins. Do not attempt this adjustment without monitoring the results with an oscilloscope.

800 x 600 60 Hz
H/V Sync [ 128] x 4

There are standards for all current computer and broadcast resolutions that specify the correct width of both
Vertical and Horizontal synchronizing pulses. If you are creating a special, non-standard resolution, you may
wish to adjust the pulse width to fi t your new requirements. The H/V Sync screen is where that is accomplished.

NOTE: Like the H/V Start adjustment, you must use an oscilloscope when making these adjustments so

that you know exactly how many milliseconds or microseconds of pulse width you have created. The numbers
shown are relative numbers and not an actual time measurement.

MAS-7000 RS232 CONTROL SPECIFICATION

This section outlines how to control a unit via an RS232 or Ethernet link, using ASCII-based commands. It
details how to send and receive serial data to perform many of the functions that a user has access to on the unit.

COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL BASICS

Packets of ASCII data containing hexadecimal numbers are exchanged between the unit and controller via an
RS232 or IP link (you cannot use both at the same time).

The RS232 standard is 57600 baud, 8 bits, no parity and 1 stop bit, although this can be changed by the user.

No fl ow control is used - however all control packets start with an ASCII ‘F’, end with carriage-return (13
decimal, 0x0D hex) and all such packets sent to the unit will be acknowledged (thereby providing software
handshaking). Note that a line-feed (LF 10 decimal, 0x00A hex) should not be sent.

It may take around 30ms (0.03 seconds) for an RS232 command to be actioned and acknowledged.

ASCII-hex data is used where a number is encoded into its hexadecimal equivalent with leading zeros – e.g.
Where ‘00’ is decimal value 0, ‘80’ is decimal 128 and ‘FF’ is decimal 255. In other words, two characters are
sent for each byte encoded.

Any gap of more than 1 second between the characters of a control command sent will cause a time-out - and
previous characters sent will be lost.

Write packets (sending command functions to the unit) are always 20 characters long (including a carriage
return at the end). The unit will respond with a full 20 character message indicating what has changed. This
returned payload will refl ect the actual value of the parameter changed. If the user requests a value out of
bounds then the limit value is used, and the payload will then refl ect the limited value used.

Read packets (sent to request information from the unit) are always 14 characters long (including a carriage
return at the end), the response from the unit will be a 20 byte message with the Write fl ag (since it is ‘writing’
the value back to the host) and the ACK fl ag set.

The ACK fl ag will be returned as 0 if the command is invalid for some reason – for example a bad FUNCTION,
WINDOW, OUTPUT or PAYLOAD value. An ACK=0 message will be otherwise identical to the one you sent,
so you know exactly which message has the error.

Any changes made to the unit using the front panel controls will also cause the full 20 byte message to be sent
indicating the change that has occurred, thus enabling a program to stay ‘in-sync’ with the unit. In some cases
(such as the execution of a macro) multiple 20 bytes messages will be sent indicating all the parameters that
have been changed.

Only one message should be sent to the unit, another message can’t be sent until a specifi c response is received
from the unit (the user should look for a message with the same WINDOW, OUTPUT and FUNCTION values
as they sent). If no message is received back within 1 second, there is likely to be a hardware communication
problem (or wrong baud rate, etc.).

If absolutely required, to simplify programming the user may send packets one after the other with around
100ms (100 milliseconds) between each one. However, this will not work for all packets (such as Zooming
into Testcards or changing Logos) since this will cause the unit’s micro-controller to be busy, so the user must

39

MAS-7000

experiment and satisfy themselves that this is possible.

Checksums

The protocol requires checksums on all commands. The checksum is the sum of all previous bytes (excluding
the SOP ‘F’ character). The checksum is calculated on the hex value of the two ASCII bytes. For example, the
command “F0400410082000001C8” has the checksum of C8 (04+00+41+00+82+00+00+01=C8). A short­cut for debugging allows the checksum to be replaced by 2 question marks, so in the previous example you
could send F0400410082000001?? Instead. This is purely for test and debugging - you should normally use a
checksum to ensure data validity.

Carriage Returns

Each packet that is sent to or received from the MAS-7000 is terminated with a carriage return. Carriage return
has a value of 13 decimal, but is sent as a hex byte 0x0D. It will be represented in this document as <CR>.

PACKET FORMAT

Read Packets

Below is a representation of data bytes in a single packet for a ‘Read’ to the unit to get a value:

EOP <CR>

This is always the ASCII letter ‘F’ to indicate the packet start.

ASCII-hex byte to indicate the type of command being sent.
Each bit in the byte has a different function.
Bit 7 = Write (0) or Read (1) request. Messages from the unit are always Writes.
Bit 6 = ACK bit. Should be set to 0 for messages to the unit.
ACK=1 returned means message was okay.
ACK=0 returned means an error was present in the message.
Bit 5:3 = 0 Reserved for future use.
Bit 2 = 1 This bit *must* be set.
Bit 1:0 = 0 Reserved for future use.

This byte has multiple uses, and defaults to 0 unless used for:

0x41 = S-VID2

Bit 7 = 0 (Reserved).
Bit 6..0 = Window ‘A’ is sent as ‘41’ since 0x41 is ASCII for ‘A’.

Bit 7..4 = 0
Bit 3..2 = Reserved (set to 0).
Bit 1..0 = Bits 9 & 8 of the function code. (Remainder of bits [7..0] are in FUNC LOW.)
Example: If the function code is 0x234, then these bits are 0x02.
