Allowing water, metal items, scraps of food or other foreign objects inside the control panel may cause a fire
and/or electric shocks.
Choosing the best installation location
This unit is designed for indoor use only.
Mount the mainframe securely in a standard 19-inch rack (with a depth dimension of at least 600 mm) that
meets the EIA standard or its equivalent for use.
Install the mainframe securely using screws that are compatible with the rack.
Be absolutely sure to attach the support guides used to support the back part of the mainframe. (Provide
support guides that are compatible with the rack.)
Provide sufficient clearances from the area around the ventilation holes at the front and the cooling fan at the
back.
Do not install the mainframe in a cold place where the temperatures will drop below 32 °F (0 °C) or in a hot
place where the temperatures will rise above 104 °F (40 °C).
Avoid installing the mainframe where it will be exposed to direct sunlight or to the hot air that is blown out from
other products.
Installing the mainframe in a very humid, dusty or vibration-prone location may give rise to trouble.

1-3. How to install the option boards
The option boards are installed in the mainframe.
For details, refer to the operating instructions of the option board concerned.
Notes
Be absolutely sure to ask your dealer to do the job of installing or removing the option boards.
Before installing or removing an option board, turn off the power, and disconnect the power plug.
Before coming into physical contact with the option board, touch your hand to metal that has been grounded
to discharge the static electricity in your body.
A safe way to proceed is to wear an anti-static wrist strap.
The option board may be damaged if you touch the board with static still in your body.
Avoid damage to the option board by not dropping it or subjecting it to strong shocks or vibrations.
After removing an option board, be absolutely sure to attach the blank panel.
When installing or removing an option board, take care not to hurt yourself on the edges or metal parts of the
board.
Turn off the power of the mainframe, and disconnect the power cord.
Loosen the two screws of SLOT A or SLOT B at the back of the mainframe, and remove the blank panel.

3-1-2. Selecting the bus using the SHIFT function
The SHIFT function enables two materials to be allocated — the front material and the rear material — to one
button, and the materials to be selected using the [SHIFT] button.
A total of 32 materials — front materials (1 to 16) and rear materials (17 to 32) — can be allocated to the three
groups of 16 crosspoint buttons whether these buttons are the PGM/A bus crosspoint buttons, PST/B bus
crosspoint buttons or AUX bus crosspoint buttons.
There are actually two SHIFT functions: “All SHIFT” for switching all the front materials to the rear materials or
vice versa, and “Single SHIFT” for switching the front material of one crosspoint button with its rear material or
vice versa.
“All SHIFT” works once the SHIFT function has been allocated to one of the USER buttons.
“Single SHIFT” works once the SHIFT function has been allocated to the No.16 or No.1 crosspoint button of the
crosspoint button group concerned by a menu operation.

All SHIFT
All SHIFT is used to switch all the materials of the PGM/A bus crosspoint buttons, PST/B bus crosspoint buttons
or AUX bus crosspoint buttons from front materials to rear materials or vice versa.
The USER button to which the SHIFT function has been allocated is used to switch between the front materials
and rear materials.
Allocate the SHIFT function to one of the USER buttons.
For the method used to allocate this function to the USER button, refer to “5-3-1. Setting the user buttons”.
Each time the [SHIFT] (USER) button is pressed, the front materials are switched to the rear materials or
vice versa.
When the rear materials (17 to 32) have been selected, the [SHIFT] (USER) button lights in amber.
When the button is pressed again, it goes off, and the front materials (1 to 16) are now selected.
Single SHIFT
Single SHIFT is used to switch the material of a PGM/A bus crosspoint button, PST/B bus crosspoint button or
AUX bus crosspoint button from a front material to a rear material or vice versa.
Switching between the front material and rear material is done using the crosspoint button (No.16 or No.1) in
which the SHIFT function is allocated.

Lum (luminance key/self key):
This is for creating the key signals from the luminance component or luminance and chroma
component of the key fill signal.
Linear (linear key/EXT key):
This is for creating the key signals from the luminance component of the key source signal.
It is used when the key source signal and key fill signal are different.
Chroma (chroma key/self key):
This is for creating the key signals using a specific hue of the key fill signal as the reference.
Full (full key/self key):
This is for creating the key signals using the images on the full screen as the key source signals.
PinP combinations are possible in conjunction with the flying key. See “3-4-9. Flying key”.
ChrmOn Matte Off
On
Since the luminance and chroma keys are operated as self keys, the key fill signals are used as the key
source signals. For the full key, the images on the full screen are used as the key source signals.
When the luminance key, chroma key or full key has been selected as the key type, the key signals will
remain unchanged even when the key source signals are switched.
When using the linear key, use material with a black background and white characters or shape to be
combined by the key as the key source signal. Material which is not black and white may not be combined
clearly.
Material with a white background and black characters, etc. can be reversed using the key invert function for
use.
When the luminance key has been selected, the chroma component can be included in the generation of the
key signals in view of the self key application. (This does not apply to the linear key.)
Turn [F3], and select the setting using the LumKey item.
ChrmOn: In addition to the luminance component, the chroma component is also taken into account in
the generation of the key signals.
This is the setting for using a color with a low luminance component for the key signals (such
as when defining blue characters).
ChrmOff: The key signals are generated from only the luminance component.
Turn [F4] to select the fill type using the Fill item.
Bus: The bus signal is used for the key fill signal.
Matte: The internal fill matte is used for the key fill signal.

Turn [F2] to select the Type item.
Lum (luminance key/self key):
This is for creating the key signals from the luminance component of the key fill signal.
Linear (linear key/EXT key):
This is for creating the key signals from the luminance component of the key source signal.
It is used when the key source signal and key fill signal are different.
Since the luminance key is operated as a self key, the key fill signals are used as the key source signals.
When the luminance key has been selected as the downstream key type, the key signals will remain
unchanged even when the key source signals are switched.
When using the linear key, use material with a black background and white characters or shape to be
combined by the key as the key source signal.
Material which is not black and white may not be combined clearly.
Material with a white background and black characters, etc. can be reversed using the key invert function for
use.
When the luminance key has been selected, the chroma components can be contained in the key signals
generated in view of the fact that it is used as a self key. (This is not applied to the linear key.)Turn [F3] to
select the setting using the LumKey item.
ChrmOn: In addition to the luminance components, the chroma components are also factored in when
generating the key signals.
Use this setting if colors with low luminance components are used for the key signals (when,
for instance, blue characters are to be removed).
ChrmOff: The key signals are generated only from the luminance components.
Turn [F4] to select the fill type using the Fill item.
Bus: The bus signal is used for the key fill signal.

3. Basic operations
3-12. SD memory cards
The unit’s frame memory data and system data can be stored on SD memory cards.
Conversely, this data can be loaded from the SD memory cards to the unit.
Frame memory data (still image data):
The unit supports 24-bit (uncompressed) BMP (bitmap) and JPEG (baseline) is the only file formats.
JPEG format files can be loaded, but they become BMP format files when they are stored from the unit to the
SD memory card.
This unit cannot resize the images so resize them appropriately using another device such as a personal
computer before saving them on the SD memory card.
<Applicable sizes>
HD/1080i: 19201080, HD/1080psf: 19201080, HD/720p: 1280720,
SD/NTSC: 720487, SD/PAL: 720576
BMP files:
If the sizes are different, the center of the images will be lined up.
If the image is large, it will be cropped.
If the image is small, the area around it will be filled in with a black border.
JPEG files:
Images in the sizes listed in “Applicable sizes” above can be loaded.
The pixels of images in SD format are not square, so the aspect ratio will be different when the images are
displayed on the computer and when they are imported into frame memory (with NTSC format, they will be
vertically long).
To keep the images true to their actual proportions, make sure the original size is 720
images are in NTSC format, use images shrunk to 720
images enlarged to 720
System data:
The “system data” refers to all the data stored in the unit with the exception of the date, time and network
settings and of the still image data. The extension used for the system data files is “h45”.
SD memory card handling precautions
Do NOT eject the SD memory card while the SD memory card access LED is lighted.
When an SD memory card is ejected while the SD memory card access LED is lighted, the transition of the
operation from data access to card ejection may be temporarily suspended.
In addition, the data stored on the SD memory card may be lost.
The data stored on SD memory cards may be lost as a result of misplacing the cards or performing erroneous
operations, for instance. It is recommended that valuable data be stored on a personal computer or other
device.

4-1-2. Setting the input mode
The mode can be set for each input only when HD has been selected as the system format.
When SD is selected as the system format, the input mode is always the same as Normal.
Normal: Input signals in conformity with the system format take effect.
D by D: When SD signals with the same frame rate as the system format have been input, they are input on a
dot by dot (1 magnification) basis with no up-conversion.
(This setting is only possible when the system format is 1080i.)
In this mode, there is minimal deterioration in the image quality and, as such, the mode is used to
combine SD format material using the PinP function.
UC: When SD signals with the same frame rate as the system format have been input, they are
up-converted.
Auto: Input signals in conformity with the system format take effect.
Furthermore, if SD signals with the same frame rate as the system format are input when HD is
selected as the system format, they are up-converted.
In the Auto mode, the images may be disturbed when the input signals are switched.
On the INPUT XX sub menu, turn [F4] to set the input mode using the Mode item, and press the [F4] switch
to enter the setting.
An asterisk () appears at the left of the input mode currently selected.

INPUT XX|Freeze |Select |Freeze↓|
| 2/13 | Frame| Off|
Field On
Turn [F3] to select the freeze method using the Select item.
Frame: The images are frozen frame by frame.
Field: The images are frozen field by field.
This is used to freeze moving images.
With interlace signals, however, diagonal lines and moving parts appear jagged.
Frame or Field can also be selected while an image is frozen.
Press the [F4] switch to freeze the input image or cancel the freeze.
If the [F4] switch is pressed while the display is “Off”, the video signal is frozen, and the display is set to
“On”.
If the [F4] switch is pressed while the display is “On”, the video signal freezing is canceled, and the display is
set to “Off”.
The “F” mark appears in front of the name of the material when the signals set for output of multi view
displays are frozen.
When the unit is used with the frame synchronizer function OFF, the output images may be disturbed when
freezing is executed, but the frozen images will not be adversely affected.
If, when the switcher is used with the frame synchronizer function at OFF, “On” is set as the freeze setting,
the frame synchronizer function will be automatically switched to ON.
