Here’s how to switch between input video while applying an effect, and final output.
About the operation mode for video transitions
There are two operation modes for switching the video on the PGM/A bus and PST/B bus: the “PGM/PST mode” and the “A/B mode.”
* With the factory settings, the operation mode is set to A/B mode.
Mode |
Explanation |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the video fader is operated, the video at the |
|
|
bus position toward which the video fader is flipped |
|
A/B |
always becomes the final output. |
|
When the [CUT] or [AUTO] button is operated, the |
||
|
||
|
video on the A bus and the video on the B bus |
|
|
become the final output in alternation. |
|
|
The video on the PGM bus is always the final output. |
|
|
The video on the PST bus is preset video (the video to |
|
PGM/PST |
be output next). |
|
Operating the video fader or the [CUT] or [AUTO] |
||
|
||
|
button makes the final video output and the preset |
|
|
video change places. |
Setting the Operation Mode
1.Press the [MENU] button0”SYSTEM”0select

Video Operations
Switching the Video Automatically (Auto Switching)
The video of INPUT 1–8 or of preset memories can be switched automatically (the auto switching function). You can make operation easier by letting the video switch automatically.
Operation modes for auto switching
Auto switching provides three operation modes that you can select as appropriate for your situation: “input scan,” “preset memory scan,” and “BPM sync.”
Switching at a specified interval (Input scan)
This automatically switches the INPUT 1–8 video when a specified length of time elapses.
You can change the duration that each video is shown, and also switch randomly between videos.
This is convenient when you want to switch between video signals of multiple cameras, for example when live-streaming a singerinstrumentalist.
* Channels that have no video input are skipped.
Specifying the operation mode
Input scan
1.Press the [MENU] button0”AUTO SWITCHING”0 select“TYPE,”and press the [VALUE] knob.
Switching preset memories (Preset memory scan)
This automatically switches between preset memories 1–8.
The video and audio are switched according to the settings that are saved in each preset memory.
*Preset memories in which no settings have been saved are skipped.
Switching in synchronization with the BPM (BPM sync)
This automatically switches the video at specified BPM intervals.
This lets you create video transitions that are synchronized with the music, for example when live-streaming a DJ performance or a musical performance.

Using Key Compositing to Remove the PinP Background Video
By changing the PinP type, you can composite the video by applying “luminance key” (p. 22) or “chroma key” (p. 24) to the PinP.
If you apply the luminance key function, the black or white portion of the inset screen becomes transparent, extracting the text or image and compositing it onto the background video.
If you apply the chroma key function, and a video that was shot against a blue or green backdrop is selected as the inset screen, the blue or green portion of the inset screen becomes transparent,
extracting only the subject and compositing it onto the background video.

Video Operations
You can take a still image captured from input/output video or imported from a USB flash drive, assign it to channel 1 or 8, and output it in the same way as video. You can also use it as a source for DSK compositing (p. 22).
You can save up to eight still images in the unit.
* When still images are saved in the unit, startup takes longer time according to image size and the number of still images saved.
Capturing a Still Image from Input/Output Video
This captures a still image from input/output video and saves it in the unit.
NOTE
55 All audio stops during still-image capture.
55 Depending on the format of the input video, completion of still-image capture might take some time. 55 Created still images cannot be saved to a USB flash drive.
1. Press the [CAPTURE IMAGE] button to turn on (lit).
The monitor shows a list of still images (STILL 1–8).
The Cross-point A [1]–[8] buttons blink yellow.
2. Press a Cross-point A [1]–[8] button to select a savedestination (STILL 1–8) for the captured still image.
* If you decide to cancel, press the [EXIT] button.
55 When you select the save-destination for the still image, the list of still images changes to a list of video inputs (HDMI 1–8).
55 The Cross-point A buttons of channels that are inputting video and the [CUT] button blink red.
3. Press a button that is blinking red to capture a still image.
* If you decide to cancel, press the [EXIT] button.
If you press a Cross-point A [1]–[8] button
The still image is captured from the video that is being input to the channel whose button you pressed.
If you press the [CUT] button
The still image is captured from the PGM (final output) video.
55 When you execute capture, the list of input video changes to a list of still images.
*Do not turn off the power while the “PLEASE WAIT” message is shown.
4.When the display indicates “COMPLETE,” press the [EXIT] button to exit the operation.
MEMO
When you have captured from copyright-protected (HDCP) video, the created still image is treated the same way as HDCP applied video.
The still image is switched between displayed and hidden by turning HDCP on and off (p. 10).
Note, however, that when HDCP is switched from off to on, the still image is reloaded from where it’s saved in memory, and so the still image might take some time to display.

Importing a still image
NOTE
55 Large-size still-image files might take some time to import.
55 When you’re using a USB flash drive for the first time, be sure to format it on the V-8HD (p. 39).
55 Depending on the USB flash drive, recognition of the flash drive might take some time.
1.Save the still image in the root directory of the USB flash drive.
2.Connect the USB flash drive containing the saved still image to the USB MEMORY port.
3.Press the [MENU] button0”STILL IMAGE”0select
“LOAD FROM USB MEMORY,” and press the [VALUE] knob.

55 You can use the USER [1] or [2] button to output the specified still image.
This lets you directly output a still image to PGM and PVW without assigning it to a channel.
For details on this setting, refer to “Assigning the Functions of the USER [1] [2] Buttons” (p. 42).
55 You can use the [OUTPUT FADE] knob to output a specified still image.
This lets you directly output a still image to PGM and PVW without assigning it to a channel.
For details on this setting, refer to “Specifying the function of the [OUTPUT FADE] knob” (p. 29).
55 You can use a footswitch or expression pedal to output a specified still image. This lets you directly output a still image to PGM and PVW without assigning it to a channel.
