Overview

This digital audio mixer is designed for a host of applications including cases where the video signals of video equipment are combined through digital processing or where many different kinds of effects are added. It incorporates two frame synchronizers, a feature which makes it unnecessary for two video signals to be synchronized. Its dedicated software program, the MX-Navi, enables titles to be downloaded from a PC to facilitate the insertion of titles. In addition to the wipe, mix and digital effects, this unit comes with built-in chroma key and luminance key functions. Since its downstream keys, fade controls and audio mixers can also be used, the effects required for AB roll editing can be added by just this one unit. Connectors for connecting an external controller are also provided.

≥AB roll editing

AB roll editing is made possible by the unit’s two built-in frame synchronizers.

≥Connection of external editing controller

The unit is equipped with GPI and RS-422A/RS-232C connectors to enable an external editing controller to be connected.

≥Digital effect functions

By using the unit’s internal digital memory, it is possible to mobilize the still, strobe, negative, mono, multi-strobe (division into 4, 9 or 16), mirror, mosaic and paint functions. Field/frame switching is possible for the still, strobe and multi functions. Ripple, multi, spark and other effects can also be provided by adding the 3D optional board (AG-VE70).

≥Audio mixing

The unit comes with four sets of input facilities.

≥Mixed effects

The unit provides a range of mixed effect functions enabling chroma key, luminance key, mix, wipe and DVE combinations as well as DSK and fading.

≥Internal event memory

The unit has a built-in memory that accommodates 100 patterns.

≥Advanced reference 1 output featured

When [Memory] has been selected

It is possible to write Prog output images in the memory using [Still] (still picture) or [Movie] (moving picture), and then play the written images back. It is possible to set the number of frames (number of pages) that can be used to a maximum of 30 (NTSC) or 26 (PAL). However, if pages are allocated to titles, the number of pages will be reduced by the equivalent amount. The page allocation can be changed on the “Setup” initial setting screen.

≥ Write procedure

Use the rotary 5 control to set the mode to “Write.” Use the rotary 2 control to select the page on which the images are to be written. Use the rotary 3 control to set the number of frames to be written. Set 1 as the number of frames for Still writing and set a number greater than 1 for Movie writing. Check the image to be written at the Prog output, and when the image to be written appears, write it using “Enter.” In the case of Movie, the images are written consecutively from the page designated by the rotary 2 control up to the page equivalent to the number of frames designated by the rotary 3 control. Any existing data will be deleted in the process of image writing.

≥ Playback procedure

Set the mode to [Preview] using the rotary 5 control. Select the page to be played back using the rotary 2 control. If Still images are to be played back, select [Field] output or [Frame] output using the rotary 4 control.

The statuses set by [Setup] can be stored in the memory. Select 1 to 8 using the rotary 2 control. An empty file is indicated by [Empty]. A file with settings is indicated by [Saved]. Select [Save], [Recall] or [AllCLR] using the rotary 3 control, and execute using [Enter]. [Save] saves the settings and overwrites any existing settings, [Recall] loads the settings, and [All CLR] clears the settings. When [Save] or [AllCLR] is selected, [OK?] appears. Enter the selection again using [Enter] or cancel using [Shift] + [Enter]. It is also possible to clear all the settings by holding down [Shift] + [Enter] when the power is turned on so that the factory settings are restored.

Press the [Pattern] button, input the pattern number using the number keys, and execute using [Enter]. If the pattern does not exist, operation will jump to the nearest pattern number. Each time [Pattern] is pressed, the function is set to ON or OFF. The default setting is MIX (56). Pattern numbers are incremented and decremented using the “+” and “–” keys. Patterns that do not exist are skipped and displayed in turn.

Set button: Its lamp lights during the setting process. When [Enter] is pressed, it flashes for two seconds and then

goes off. When the setting is in progress, Event is displayed in reverse video, and the event is then entered using [Enter]. Event numbers can be incremented and decremented using the “+” and “–” keys. Empty events are indicated by [E] appearing next to the event number.

Recall method

Press the [Recall] button, select the event number to be loaded using the number keys, and recall it using the [Enter] or [AutoTake] button.

Recall button: Its lamp flashes while recall is underway. It lights when the button is set to ON, and goes off when it is set

to OFF or when the recall is completed.

Since the input settings are not reflected during loading, events are executed in respect of the input set beforehand. Events 50 to 59, 60 to 69, 70 to 79, 80 to 89 and 90 to 99 can be set consecutively in units of 10 events and also recalled consecutively so they can also serve as key frame settings. Events are executed using the [AutoTake] button. With the recall of events 50 to 99, the Setup status of the head event is valid.

Clearing events

Set the number of the event to be cleared using [Recall], and execute clearing using [Shift] + [Enter]. Clearing all the events is possible by inputting a period twice at the recall stage and then pressing [Shift] + [.]. Alternatively, this can be achieved by starting the system by pressing [Shift] + [Enter] when the power is turned on, and restoring the factory settings.

Select the item to be set, and press the [ME], [DSK] or [FADE] button. Input the numerical value using the number keys, and press [Enter]. The numerical value can be incremented and decremented using rotary TIME or the “+” and “–” keys. Set the ME (back, key transition), DSK or fade time. Set the time of the item selected for ME, DSK or Fade above the number keys. The time is indicated on the LCD display. It can also be input or output using the number keys. With x:xx displays, it is possible to input [2][.][5] to display 2:05 where [.] is used as a delimiter. The default setting is 60F.

Correlation between number key settings and [Pattern] button

[Pattern] takes precedence over [ME], [DSK] and [Fade]. Items selected by ME, DSK or Fade can be set by the rotary controls. The number keys can also be used when Pattern is OFF. The items selected appear on the LCD display. There are three options—ME, DSK and Fade—and they can be set to OFF by pressing the ON button. In this case, neither the rotary controls nor the number keys can be used.

Number key priorities

The number key priorities are: event memories > pattern settings > transition time settings > LCD screen settings. In the event memories, the number keys cannot be used for pattern settings, transition time settings or LCD screen settings.

Overview of MX-Navi

MX-Navi is software used when transmitting images from a PC to the AG-MX70 and displaying them and when reading still images from the AG-MX70 into a PC.

The following are possible when a PC has been connected to the AG-MX70.

≥ DSK display of the PC screen as telop or animation. ≥ Display of the PC screen with internal matte. ≥ Images provided as input to the AG-MX70 can be read into the PC as still images and be converted to image files.

About this software

Description of the software

The software contained in the CD is described below.

∫ USB driver

This driver software is for communications when the AGMX70 is connected to a PC via the USB port.

∫ MX-Navi

This software is for use when transmitting images from a PC to the AG-MX70 and playing them back and when reading still images from the AG-MX70 into a PC. Installing this software makes the following possible.

Transmitting of images from a PC to the AG-MX70

≥ PC images can be transmitted to the AG-MX70 as Title

data or IntVideo data.

≥ Playback and pause operations can be performed with

the transmitted data.

Reading of still images from the AG-MX70 into a PC

≥ Images displayed on the AG-MX70 can be read into a

PC as still images.

Management of the AG-MX70 memory

≥ It is possible to check the status and change the

settings of the AG-MX70’s image memory.

Refer to “Before use” on pages 77 to 79 when installing this software.

System requirements

The PC to be used should meet the following requirements.

≥ Computer DOS/V with USB port ≥ OS Windows 98

Windows ME Windows 2000 Professional Windows XP HomeEdition Windows XP Professional

≥ CPU Pentium II 300 MHz or better ≥ RAM 64 MB or more ≥ Display True Color (24 bits, 32 bits)

800a600 dots or more ≥ Hard disk 5 MB or more free space ≥ Other CD-ROM drive

Processing of image data

∫ By data type

Image data is processed by the AG-MX70 either as Title data or IntVideo data, depending on the application. When image data is transmitted to the AG-MX70, it is necessary to first select one of these 2 data types.

≥ Title data

Data to be used for DSK playback should be transmitted as Title data. RGB data and α channel data are used by Title data. When an image having an α channel is used, the image is subjected to transparency processing corresponding to the value of the α channel. When an image not having an α channel is used, transparency processing is not performed.

≥ IntVideo data

When the image is to be played back as internal matte, it is transmitted as IntVideo data. The image uses only RGB data. As the α channel is not used, transparency processing is not performed.

∫ Display methods

It is possible to select from the following display methods according to how the image data is to be played back.

≥ STILL

With this method, a single image is played back as a still image. Both Title data and IntVideo data can be used. When Title data is used, it is possible to set the horizontal position and vertical position of the image.

∫ DSK effects

When an image is displayed on (DSK ON) or cleared from (DSK OFF) the monitor, it is possible to apply dissolve or 2 or 3D transition effects.

∫ Image size

The appropriate size of images for the Monitor 1 screen differs, depending on the video format setting of the AGMX70 and the MX-Navi settings.

NTSC: Monitor 1 screen = 640 a 480

PAL: Monitor 1 screen = 768 a 576 It is possible to select any image size for playback, however, if the image size selected is larger than the Monitor 1 screen, only the part of the image that fits onto the screen will be transmitted and played back.

∫ Image formats supported

It is possible to use the following image formats for playback with the AG-MX70.

≥ TARGA (.tga)

24 bit/pixel (no α channel) data and 32 bit/pixel (with α channel) data can be used.

≥ JPEG (.jpg)

≥ BMP (.bmp)

24 bit/pixel (no α channel) data can be used.

A 32 bit/pixel image of the TARGA format must be used when the image is to be displayed with transparency processing. When displaying images using either MOVIE, ROLL or CRAWL methods, it is necessary to use consecutively numbered file names. (e.g. Image001.tga to Image015.tga)

151

≥ MOVIE

With this method, two or more images are played back consecutively. A single image is processed as one frame. It is possible to select from ONCE or REPEAT playback. Both Title data and IntVideo data can be used. When Title data is used, it is possible to set the horizontal position and vertical position of the image.

≥ CRAWL

Two or more images are lined up one after the other and played back (scrolled) horizontally on the screen. It is possible to set the direction and the speed for scrolling. Only Title data can be used with this method. It is possible to set the vertical position of the image.

≥ ROLL

Two or more images are lined up one after the other and played back (scrolled) vertically on the screen. It is possible to set the direction and the speed for scrolling. Only Title data can be used with this method. It is possible to set the horizontal position of the image.

Processing of image data

∫ Management of the image memory

≥ Memory capacity

Images transmitted from the PC are stored in the AG-MX70’s image memory. The memory capacity differs, depending on the AG-MX70’s video format setting.

NTSC: 30 pages

(1 page = amount of memory required for 1

image on Monitor 1 screen)

PAL: 26 pages

The image memory is divided into separate areas for Title data and IntVideo data and capacity can be allocated freely as required.

≥ DIVIDE

The number of memory pages used differs, depending on the number of vertical pixels, however this only applies when images are transmitted as Title data. The memory pages being used can be reduced by adjusting the size of the image for DSK playback, so that a larger number of images can be played back.

NTSC

Number of vertical pixels

Number of memory pages used

1 to 60 1/8 page

1/4 page

PAL

1 to 72 1/8 page

1/4 page

1/2 page

73 to 144

145 to 288

1 page289 to 576

<Notes>

≥ When the vertical position is set, images with a small

number of vertical pixels can be played back on the lower part of the screen. This is effective for DSK playback of telop or logos at the lower part of the screen.

≥ IntVideo data always use one memory page, regardless of

the image size.

AG-MX70-related problems

Problem What to check

≥

A menu for title load or

playback etc. is grayed out and operation is not possible.

The AG-MX70 has not been recognized by the PC. Check the following items.

≥ Is the power of the AG-MX70 switched on? ≥ Are the AG-MX70 and the PC connected correctly via a USB cable? ≥ Is the length of the USB cable less than 3 m?

When operation is still not possible even though the above items are fulfilled, it is possible that the USB driver has not been installed successfully. Execute DrvUninstaller.exe in the DrvUninstaller folder of the setup CD-ROM to delete the USB driver (at this time the message “Cannot delete some files” may be displayed, but this does not present a problem), and then install the USB driver again.

≥

Image transmission or

reading has been performed, but the processing stopped and the message “AG-MX70 is not ready to transfer, Please check Power and connection, and try again..” is displayed.

Images cannot be transmitted or captured while the “Loading...” display appears on the LCD screen immediately after the AG-MX70’s power has been turned on or immediately after changes have been made to the image memory settings. Wait until the “Loading...” display is cleared, and then try again.

≥

The image does not

change to DSK even when DSK playback operation is performed.

Check that the DSK/Fade items Key and Fill in the DSK/Fade menu of the AG-MX70 are set to Title.

MX-Navi-related problems

Before calling for service

Problem What to check

≥

The Title data has been

cleared, but the data has not been deleted from the image memory.

When Protect has been set for the data, it will not be cleared even when clearing is performed from the menu of the main window. To clear data with the Protect setting, perform the clearing operation from the memory status window.

≥

The button display of

main window is abnormal.

In a Windows 98 environment with certain video cards, the button display may become abnormal. Even if this problem should occur, operation of this software will not be influenced. It may be possible to eliminate the problem using one of the following methods.

≥

Update the video card driver to the newest version.

≥

Click “Advanced” on the “Settings” page of “My Computer” >“Control Panel” >“Display,”

open the “Performance” page on the displayed Properties screen, and set the hardware accelerator setting to “Basic” or “None.”
