• Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or its AC adaptor.

..........................................................................................................

Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts within it (except when this manual provides specific instructions directing you to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer, the nearest Roland

Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

..........................................................................................................

• Never install the unit in any of the following locations.

• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heat-generating equipment); or are

Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are

Exposed to steam or smoke; or are

Subject to salt exposure; or are

Humid; or are

Exposed to rain; or are

Dusty or sandy; or are

Subject to high levels of vibration and shakiness.

..........................................................................................................

Make sure you always have the unit placed so it is level and sure to remain stable. Never place it on stands that could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.

..........................................................................................................

Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the installation matches the input voltage specified on the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors may use a different polarity, or be designed for a different voltage, so their use could result in

damage, malfunction, or electric shock.

..........................................................................................................

Use only the attached power-supply cord. Also, the supplied power cord must not be used with

any other device.

..........................................................................................................

Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the cord, producing severed elements and short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and

shock hazards!

..........................................................................................................

Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.

..........................................................................................................

USING THE UNIT SAFELY

Immediately turn the power off, remove the AC adaptor from the outlet, and request servicing by your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page when:

The AC adaptor, the power-supply cord, or the plug has been damaged; or

If smoke or unusual odor occurs

Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled onto the unit; or

The unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise has become wet); or

The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.

..........................................................................................................

• In households with small children, an adult should provide supervision until the child is capable of following all the rules essential for the safe operation of the unit.

..........................................................................................................

Protect the unit from strong impact. (Do not drop it!)

..........................................................................................................

Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share an outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be especially careful when using extension cords—the total power used by all devices you have connected to the extension cord’s outlet must never exceed the power rating (watts/amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive

loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat up and eventually melt through.

..........................................................................................................

Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service

Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

..........................................................................................................

• The unit and the AC adaptor should be located so their location or position does not interfere with their proper ventilation.

..........................................................................................................

• Always grasp only the plug on the powersupply cord when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

..........................................................................................................

At regular intervals, you should unplug the AC adaptor and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe all dust and other accumulations away from its prongs. Also, disconnect the power plug from the power outlet whenever the unit is to remain unused for an extended period of time. Any accumulation of dust between the power plug and the power outlet can result in poor insulation

and lead to fire.

..........................................................................................................

Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be

placed so they are out of the reach of children.

..........................................................................................................

Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the unit.

..........................................................................................................

• Never handle the AC adaptor or its plugs with

wet hands when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

..........................................................................................................

Before moving the unit, disconnect the AC adaptor and all cords coming from external

devices.

..........................................................................................................

Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power and unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet.

..........................................................................................................

Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning in your area, disconnect the AC adaptor from the outlet.

..........................................................................................................

Keep any screws you may remove and the included plugs in a safe place out of children’s reach, so there is no chance of them being swallowed accidentally.

..........................................................................................................

IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply

Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.

The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.

Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to other devices.

Placement

This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.

When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.

Depending on the material and temperature of the surface on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface.

You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.

Maintenance

For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Additional Precautions

This unit allows you to switch images sat high speed. For some people, viewing such images can cause headache, nausea, or other discomfort. Do not use this unit to create video that might cause these types of health problems.Roland Corporation will accept no responsibility for any such health problems that may occur in yourself or in viewers.

Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.

When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

This allows connection of V-LINK-compatible equipment from Roland. To operate the RSS-V-Mixer by remote control, press this button to switch it on.

What’s V-LINK?

V-LINK is a feature for performing video synchronized to music using MIDI. The V-LINK feature provides a quick and simple way to establish a link with a Roland instrument, musicproduction device, or video presenter.

During remote control of a V-LINK-compatible instrument, music-production device, or video equipment via a MIDI connection, this button lights up automatically when V-LINK is switched on at the connected device.

For more information about remote control via MIDI, V-LINK, or the RS-232C interface, please download the separately available reference document from the following Roland website.

http://www.rolandsystemsgroup.net/

2. SETUP Buttons (p. 36)

These are used for such tasks as displaying various menu items and making system settings.

3. TIME Dial

*When composite and S-Video connections are made at 5 and 6, the S-Video takes priority.

*When a computer is connected at PC1 and S-Video is connected at 7, S-Video takes priority.

*When a computer is connected at PC2 and S-Video is connected at 8, S-Video takes priority.

Connecting Computers

Computers can be connected at the PC1 and PC2 connectors. A built-in scan converter converts the incoming RGB signal to a standard definition video signal. Channels 7 and 8 can be used for both computer and S-Video input. When both types of signals are input, the S-Video takes priority.

*The PC1 and PC2 input connectors on the LVS-800 are for D-Sub 15-pin cables. Using a cable adapter makes it possible to connect devices that have DVI-I output connectors. A D-Sub 15-pin to DVI-I adapter is not included. Please purchase one separately.

The Difference Between A/B MIX OUT and PGM OUT

The LVS-800 is equipped with two sets of output connectors. These are the A/B MIX OUT connectors and the PGM OUT connectors. The A/B MIX OUT connectors output only the results of the mixed video of A Bus and B Bus (A/B MIX). The PGM OUT connectors output the results of the A/B mix plus your composited logos, text, etc (DSK composition). Final output fade is enabled only for PGM OUT.

Connecting Peripheral Devices

Connecting Output Devices

You can connect displays or capture devices to the A/B MIX OUT in order to view or capture the output of the A/B mix only (no DSK). You should connect displays or capture devices to the PGM OUT jacks in order to view or capture the final mix of A/B mix plus DSK. You can connect source monitors to the MONITOR OUT jacks to have at-a-glance monitoring of all your input sources. Monitors connected to the A/B MIX PVW or PGM PVW jacks will allow you to preview sources.

*When computers are connected to the PC1 and PC2 input connectors, the scan-converted video signals are output from the 7/PC1 and 8/PC2 output connectors.

*The output from A/B MIX PVW displays on-screen menu items in addition to the video before transition.

TALLY Output

The LVS-800 is equipped with a D-Sub 15-pin TALLY output connector. Connecting a video monitor capable of tally input to this makes it possible to illuminate the tally lamps on the monitor. The lamp is switched on and off according to the channel selection, enabling you to see which channel is currently in use on the monitor.

The pin assignment is as shown below. The LVS-800 uses an open-collector tally output (closed contact).

*Connecting a video monitor capable of tally input requires a cable that must be obtained separately.

Turning the Power On/Off

Connecting the AC adaptor

Connect the AC adaptor to LVS-800. Place the AC adaptor so the side with the indicator (see illustration) faces upwards and the side with textual information faces downwards. The indicator will light when you plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

Indicator

About Cord Hook

To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit (should the plug be pulled out accidentally), and to avoid applying undue stress to the AC adaptor connector, anchor the power cord using the cord hook, as shown in the illustration.

Caution regarding the power supply

Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device, cameras connected to it, or the metal portions of other objects, such as VCRs. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see figure) with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight noise may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

Unsuitable places for connection

•Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution) •Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)

•Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of lightning)

Turning the Power On/Off

Turning the power on

*Once the connections have been completed (p. 14), turn on power to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to monitors and other devices.

*This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after power up is required before the unit will operate normally.

Turning the power on

Make sure that the AC adaptor is correctly connected. Press the [POWER] button located on rear panel. It takes few seconds to boot the system.

Turning the power off

Press the [POWER] button located on rear panel. Check all indicators/LEDs to turn off.

Switching Between A Bus and B Bus

Input sources are selected and switched between the A Bus and the B Bus. The unit has eight input selectors for each Bus, and you choose the input video for each bus before you perform the transition.

With the LVS-800, you can switch between A Bus and B Bus in three different modes. Operation of each of these modes is described below.

•A/B mode

This performs switching using the video fader or the [AUTO] button for A/B MIX.

•PGM-PST mode

This lets you check the preview picture before switching and perform the transition using the [AUTO] button.

•LVS mode

This lets you perform switching directly, using only the input selector buttons.

The results of these operations are output from the A/B MIX OUT connectors. If you want to output the results from the PGM OUT connectors as well, make the settings described below.

•At [PGM OUTPUT FADE], switch off the [AUTO] button. •At DSK, for [BACKGROUND], select [A/B MIX]. •Switch off the [AUTO] button for DSK.

Switching the Picture in the A/B Mode

Switching the Picture Using the Video Fader

1.Choose the A Bus and B Bus video.

Select the channels of the video input to A Bus and B Bus. Selecting an input channel makes the LED for the button light up. For information about what the color of the LED means, see the following page.

2.Choose the type of transition (transition effect).

If you want to apply a transition effect, use a [TRANSITION] button to choose [MIX], [WIPE1], or [WIPE2]. To apply no effect, choose [CUT].
