3 1.0 OVERVIEW Thank you for buying this product. Check the contents of the packaging carefully. It contains: The DVIPRO1000 unit permits switching, on two independent, programmable outputs, of video and audio signals from eight different sources. In particular, for the video part: - IN1 and IN2: 2 inputs on connector VGA HDD15p. that can accept RGBHV, Component, YC and CVBS signals - IN3, IN4, IN5, IN6: 4 inputs on connector VGA HDD15p. or on triple BNC, that can accept RGBHV, Component, YC and CVBS signals - IN7: 1 input on connector DVI-I or on triple BNC, that can accept DVI, RGBHV (via adapter VGA-DVI), Component, YC and CVBS signals - IN8: 1 input on connector HDMI or on triple BNC that can accept HDMI, DVI (via DVI-HDMI adapter), Component, YC and CVBS signals. 3 3

4 The 2 outputs are completely independent. Each output is scalable in a wide set of formats and available both in DVI digital format and RGBHV analogue format on connector HDD15p. Each output channel permits concurrent display of 2 inputs, creating 2 independent windows, MAIN and PIP whose size and position can be set freely. The unit performs switching through the Fading, Mixer or Cut effect. Fade and Mixer time is programmable. These modes are available both in automatic and in mauial mode. A Preview function is also available to switch the image of OUT1 on OUT2. An Overlay function is also available which permits subtitling or overlay effects between images. The DVIPRO1000 features 8 different global preset memories that can be saved and recalled by the user. The basic commands for control of the machine are available from the machine keyboard with lighting keys, where an LCD display shows its complete status. Using the remote control, it is possible to access all the functions, including the programming menu. All functions can also be accessed via a RS232 serial interface and LAN connection. The related balanced stereo audio channel is associated to each input. Output volume can be regulated in digital mode for each single input and for each single output. The HDMI channel is fitted with a specific SPDIF internal decoder which is activated when the audio is contained in the HDMI stream. 4 4

5 2.0 POWER SUPPLY The DVIPRO1000 unit must be powered at Vac 50/60Hz using the cable provided. The socket of the cable must be inserted in the related panel plug to the left on the back of the unit. The panel plug is equipped with a fuse holder for 5X20 fuses. If the fuse blows, replace it with one of the same rating as specified on the back of the unit. All operations must be carried out by qualified personnel who must be informed of the risk of electric shock In some countries, the plug of the cable must be adapted to local standards. The wires are identified according to the following coding: - Brown PHASE (Identified with the letter L, may be red) - Blue NEUTRAL (Identified with the letter N, may be black) - Yellow/Green GROUND (Identified with the letter E, may be green) WARNING A ground connection is compulsory 5 5

6 EXAMPLE OF CONNECTION DVI 6 6

7 3.0 CONNECTIONS Connect the single inputs to the respective connector on the back of the DVIPRO1000. For inputs 1 and 2, available only on connector HDD15p, in the case of connection of Component, YC or CVBS signals, the specific VGA-5BNC type ADC201 adapter cable must be used on which correspondence is as follows: GREEN = CVBS, or Y of YC or Y of the component BLUE = C of the YC or Pb of the component RED = Pr of the component For inputs 3, 4, 5 and 6 available on connector HDD15p. and on 3 separate BNC, connect only one source for each input For inputs 7 and 8, available on connectors DVI-I, HDMI and 3 separate BNC, connect only one source for each input WARNING Never connect more than 1 source at a time to the universal inputs in order to prevent damage to the sources or to the DVIPRO1000 Connect the destinations to the related output connectors of the DVIPRO1000. Resolution can be set for each output.: the DVI and VGA channels of each output will have the same resolution and setting of the image. Connect the inputs and balanced audio outputs on the dedicated terminals. As regards the HDMI input, as the digital audio signal is already contained in the HDMI signal, it is not necessary to connect a separate audio signal on IN8 as the DVIPRO1000 is able to decode the audio present in the HDMI signal and convert this into a traditional analogue signal on the selected output. If a separate audio is to be associated with the 8 HDMI input, it is necessary to program the format of input IN8 as DVI instead of HDMI. 7 7

8 4.0 BASIC FUNCTIONS Power on the DVIPRO1000 using the switch on the rear panel. The unit will perform a StartUp phase lasting around 20 seconds, (during this phase the whole keyboard blinks red/green) at the end of which it will switch to the Default condition. The default setting, activated at initial power-on, is as follows: Input formats: In1 - input VGA In2 - input VGA In3 - input CVBS In4 - input CVBS In5 - input Component In6 - input Component In7 - input DVI In8 - input HDMI (embedded audio) Output resolutions Out1- resolution XGA PIP de-activated Out2 - resolution XGA PIP de-activated Channel selection MAIN channel - In1 (VGA) on OUT1 and OUT2 PIP channel - In3 (CVBS) on OUT1 and OUT2 Switching mode Fading PIP and Overlay Disabled 8 8

9 The main commands for functioning of the DVIPRO1000 can be carried out from the local keyboard. Machine keyboard lighting keys In order to give a better and quicker intellegibility of the system, each key has An internal red/green/yellow light, with the following scheme; - Keys from 1 to 8 for both the Out channels : in each row, the green light is for the Main input, while the red light is for the Pip input. During the switching phase, the new channel will blink. If both Main and Pip inputs are the same, then the light will be yellow (red+green). If Pip is disabled, the red light brightness is lower. In Mixer and cut modes, the channel Key will blink yellow during the preparing phase, then it will become green when it is ready to switch, - Format key : it will blink during the format selection, together with the channel key (1 to 8) in programmino. - Overlay key : red or green or yellow upon the state of the overlay on the channels (yellow = both channels) - Save/Recall key: yellow light during these modes - Preview key 1 2: it blinks yellow during the transfer of the configuration from OUT1 to OUT2 : also the interested channel keys of the second row will blink - Resolution key: green or red upon the channel which is interested in the resolution changing. (green OUT1, red OUT2) 9 9

10 4.1 Selection of output resolution - Volume keys: they flashes yellow for each volume variation. In the case of a mute condition, both the + and keys will be on (green for OUT1, red for OUT2, yellow for both channels) - Out channel key : the green light stands for the OUT1 channel, the red light for the OUT2 channel. The volume, resolution and overlay keys will be active for the selected output channel To define output resolution, proceed as follows: With the MODE key, select the output channel on which the new resolution is to be set according to the indications screen-printed beside the key. Then, press the RES key: an OSD menu is displayed in the output screen page with the list of the selectable resolutions, while the currently selected resolution will be shown on the LCD display. Continue to press the RES key until the resolution desired is highlighted on the LCD and on the video. After a brief pressure on the MODE key, the programming becomes effective and the machine will perform a restart cycle of around 10 seconds, at the end of which the new resolution will be activated. N.B. the VGA analogue output and the DVI digital output of the single output channel always have the same resolution

11 4.2 Definition of input format To define the format of the inputs, proceed as follows: Press the FORMAT key on the front panel of the machine and, at the same time, press the key relating to the input to be defined, using either the buttons relating to OUT1 or OUT2: each time the key of the input is pressed, the current assignment of the input will be shown on the LCD and on the video. In this way, it is possible to scroll all the possible formats that can be assigned. On releasing the FORMAT key, the DVIPRO1000 will make the programming operative and if, at that moment, the channel reprogrammed was displayed, will refresh the display. With regard to input 8, if this is used in HDMI format, the related digital audio stream inserted in the HDMI signal will be automatically decoded by the DVIPRO1000. If the audio is to be provided separately in analogue format on input 8 audio, input 8 must be programmed as DVI format. WARNING Format changing is possibile only in Fading Mode. In Mixer and Cut Mode the operation is not permitted 4.3 Source selection To select the inputs, use buttons 1 to 8 relating to outputs OUT1 and OUT2 on the front keyboard. Switching is performed in a programmable time of 0 to 3 seconds according to Fading, Mixer or Cut mode. If the input selected is VGA analogue format, at initial power-on of the machine, an automatic AUTOADJUST procedure will be performed for improved centering of the image on the screen: subsequent switching operations will not require this phase except in the case in which the format of the source in input is modified or if it is connected to a new VGA source. During this phase, the key of the interested channel will blink fast. 4.4 Activation of the PIP and selection of its source To activate the PIP on an output channel, proceed as follows: Press the key relating to the channel currently present on the MAIN; holding down the key, also press at the same time the key relating to the input that is to be displayed in PIP: the window will be activated to the bottom right. Subsequently, from the remote control or using serial commands, it will be possible to modify the size and position of the MAIN and PIP windows (see paragraph and paragraph 7.4). If repeated, the same operation to activate the PIP will cause de-activation of this

12 Example 1 : input 1 is on the MAIN. To activate input 3 in PIP, I press key 1 and then and at the same time key 3. Example 2 : on the MAIN I have input 1 and input 3 on the PIP. To switch the PIP input on 4, I press key 1 and then at the same time key 4. WARNING 1) Input 7 cannot be activated in the PIP window when this is programmed as DVI format 2) An input programmed as VGA cannot be activated in PIP if an input programmed as VGA is already present in the MAIN. In both cases, the DVIPRO1000 will display the NOT ALLOWED message 3) It is not possible to enable the PIP window when operating in MIXER or CUT mode. In this case, the DVIPRO1000 will display the ALREADY IN MIXER message

13 4.5 Other keyboard commands Volume adjustment For each single input, it is possible adjust volume in a scale from 0 to 33 steps corresponding to a change from MUTE to 0dB: to do this, using the MODE key, select the output channel desired, then use the VOL+ and VOL- keys for adjustment. The adjustment will be saved permanently and each input will have its associated output volume Overlay The OVR key can be used to activate machine Overlay mode, scrolling the various possible modes (see paragraph and paragraph 7.5) Saving and recall of presets Up 8 complete configurations can be saved as presets that can be recalled subsequently. To do this, press the SAVE/RECALL key and at the same time press a key from 1 to 8. The machine will confirm saving with a message on the OSD. To recall a preset, press again the SAVE/RECALL key and, at the same time, a key from 1 to 8 relating to the preset to be reloaded: the data of the preset saved will be loaded in the memory and the machine will switch to the new conditions after a StartUp cycle of around 20 seconds. The DVIPRO1000 maintains, as default memory, the last state that was active at the time of power-off preview 1 2 function: see chapter

14 4.6 LCD display The front panel of the machine includes an LCD display on which information regarding the current status of the system is displayed. In particular, the following are displayed for each output channel: SOURCE - the input selected on the MAIN channel FORMAT INPUT - the format of the input selected RESOL - the output resolution PIP SEC. SOURCE - the input selected as PIP channel AUDIO VOL - the audio volume of the channel (from 000 to 033) T FADING - switching mode (FADE, MIX or CUT, manual MIX or manual CUT)) followed by the timing value (from 1 to 6 for FADE and MIX) OVERLAY - enable of Overlay and type of OVERLAY set (from 1 to 5 or OFF)

15 5.0 REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS An entire set of advanced functions and programming possibilities can be accessed via the IR remote control (or external interface). The remote control provides a certain number of functions available directly using the keys, plus a direct programming menu of the output format, a save/memorize menu and an advanced programming menu. WARNING The remote control is of the self-learning type. After inserting the batteries and each time these are changed, press the Set key for a few seconds followed by the key with the white border (Enter key) 15 15

18 6.0 DETAILED FUNCTIONS Selection of MAIN channel Using the two sets of 8 keys, one set for each output, it is possible to select the input to be sent to the output Selection PIP channel, PIP activation and PIP mode To activate or de-activate the PIP on the video, continue to press the PIP key of each output channel. When the PIP is visible, using the PIP CH key, it is possible to enable/disable selection of the channel to be sent in PIP: when the PIP is highlighted by the blue frame, the set of 8 input keys will operate on selection of the PIP and not of the MAIN. In the initial phase, the PIP window is positioned to the bottom right of the video with a size of around 1/16th of the screen. Using the LEFT ARROW key (for output channel 1) or the RIGHT ARROW key (for output channel 2), it is possible to scroll the different PIP modes, in particular: - 1 PIP over MAIN 1 small: PIP size 1/64 of the screen - 2 PIP over MAIN 2 average: PIP size 1/16 of the screen - 3 MAIN and PIP side by side full screen - 4 MAIN and PIP side by side proportionally - 5 SUPERIMPOSED: The PIP covers the MAIN - 6 USER MODE: MAIN and PIP dimensions and positions selected by the user - 7 MAIN over PIP: The windows are exchanged in relation to PIP over MAIN status Continuing to press the key, the machine cycles through the different PIP/MAIN combinations. The SUPERIMPOSED setting is useful in particular when the Overlay/Titling function is activated and when quick mixing of only two channels is required: in this particular case, mixed switching is obtained pressing the PIP key. The MAIN over PIP setting makes it possible to reverse PIP/MAIN display; this is useful for also displaying input 7 in PIP when this is programmed as DVI, a function that the DVIPRO1000 would not permit (see paragraph 4.4). However, it should be noted that channel switching in this condition generates an incorrect fade sequence: however, switching is performed normally. The USER MODE setting permits definition of an arbitrary size and position for the MAIN and PIP: i.e. accessing the programming menu (see paragraph 7.4)

19 Preview function 1 2 The UP ARROW key, pressed out of menu, activates the Preview function: the whole state of the Output 1 (preview output) is transferred to the Output 2 (Main output) through a fading transition. The parameters which are transferred are: - the Main channel and the Pip channel - the Pip Mode - the image parameters - the volume This function is always available with the following restrictions: - at least an output channel in Mixer or Cut mode - at least an output channel in Main over Pip mode - the preview channel (Out 1) is in User size mode, and the two out channels don t have the same resolution N.B. this function is also available from the Keyboard with the 1 2 key Mute and Freeze conditions The MUTE AUDIO, MUTE VIDEO and FREEZE keys are used respectively to disable the audio output, disable the video output and to freeze the image currently displayed. Each output channel has its own set of keys which, alternatively, enable and disable the functions. To activate the FREEZE function on the PIP instead of on the MAIN, it is sufficient that the PIP window be outlined in blue ( PIP and PIP CH keys as explained in 6.1.2) and to press the FREEZE key Switching effects (Fading, Mixer, Cut) The DVIPRO1000 performs seamless switching between the channels in three different ways: Fading, Mixer, Cut. To select the switching method, continue to press the EFFECT button of the output to be worked on: the mode selected will be shown on the LCD display and video. - FADE mode: is the default mode. The machine switches through fading through black with a programmable time of from 0 to 3 sec - Automatic MIXER mode: in this mode, the effect of Mixing the two inputs in switching is obtained, with a programmable Mixing time of from 0 to 3 sec (0 setting corresponds to selection of CUT mode) - Automatic CUT mode: in this mode, the system switches from the previous input to the new input with a sharp, seamless cut

20 - Manual MIXER and CUT modes : these modes are identical as the automatic modes, except for ths: when the system is ready to perform the transistion to the new channel, you have to press again the channel key : at this point the transistion is performed immediatly. If you press a channel key which is different from the previous, the transistion is aborted, and the new channel is prepared. Thr channel key light blinks yellow during the preparation phase, then blinks green when it is ready for the transition. Each time the user returns to default status (Fading), the conditions prior to entry to Mixer or Cut mode will be restored. Therefore, if the PIP was present, it will be re-enabled; however, if the input to be displayed had been changed, the previous input must be reselected. WARNING The PIP function is not available in MIXER and CUT modes. If PIP is pressed in these modes, the following message is displayed: ALREADY IN MIXER Overlay effects (Overlay or titling) The DVIPRO1000 can also be used in image overlay mode with masks of different color that can be defined by the user to obtain various Overlay or Titling effects: for example keyhole on the image or scrolling of titles on a strip of the screen, etc. Activating the Overlay function with the related OVR key, the image in the PIP window will assume various levels of transparency in relation to the MAIN, according to 4 different combinations of color mask already defined or using a 5th mask that can be defined by the user in the programming menu (see paragraph 7.5). The OVR key can be used to cycle between the 5 overlay modes until return to the Overlay Off condition

21 In most cases, the most useful PIP mode when wishing to work with Overlay is SUPERIMPOSED mode, i.e. PIP that completely covers the MAIN. However, the other modes (except MAIN over PIP ) can also be used. WARNING The OVERLAY function cannot be activated when in MIXER or CUT mode Audio volume adjustment For each single input, audio volume can be adjusted in a scale from 0 to 33 steps corresponding to a change from MUTE to 0dB. Using the VOL+ and VOL- keys referring to the matching output, the audio level of the selected input can be increased or reduced. Holding down the key, volume is increased/reduced quickly. The adjustment will be saved permanently and each input will have its associated volume in output

22 6.1.7 OUTPUT RESOLUTION SETTING MENU To select output resolution, it is possible to use the keyboard of the machine, as seen above, or to access the fast resolution selection menu with the remote control, via the key RES. Scroll available resolutions with the UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW keys and confirm that required with the ENTER key. The machine will perform a restart cycle of around 10 seconds, positioning on the new resolution. The related RES key exists for each output and the programming menu will be displayed only on the output concerned. The refresh rate (Vertical Synch.) of each output resolution is 60Hz. WARNING On conn. HDD15p. the 720p, 1080i and 1080p formats are of the RGBHV type Locking of the local keyboard To block access to machine functions, press the LOCK key: all keyboard functions will be inhibited until the key is pressed again

23 6.1.9 Saving and recall of configurations The DVIPRO1000 has an internal memory in which 8 different global machine presets can be saved and recalled at any time. To save a machine state, press the SAVE key: a menu will be displayed from to select the memory position to be used amongst the 8 available. Confirm selection with the ENTER key: the machine will display a message confirming saving of the preset. To recall a previously saved preset, simply press the RECALL key and select the position required from the menu; confirming selection with the ENTER key; the DVIPRO1000 will reload the setting associated to the preset recalled. This command generates a machine restart phase lasting around 10 seconds Default condition The DVIPRO1000 can be restored, if desired, at any time to machine initialization conditions by pressing, for at least 2 seconds the DEFAULT key on the remote control. The machine will be restored to the conditions described in point 4.0, performing a restart cycle. The 8 preset memories are not affected by this operation. The DVIPRO1000 always saves, automatically, the last configuration activated before power-off: at subsequent power-on, the machine will be set to the state it was in at power-off Status information As system information is not normally visible on the screen, it can be recalled with the ENTER key, pressed outside Menu functions; a summary screen page showing machine status in all its functions is shown for each output channel, i.e.: - output resolution - input selected as MAIN and its resolution - input selected as PIP and its resolution - PIP activation - PIP mode - Overlay mode - Switching mode The screen page will be cleared automatically after around 10 seconds

24 7.0 PROGRAMMING MENU The DVIPRO1000 can carry out a set of adjustments and settings accessible via a programming menu. WARNING The adjustments and settings are independent for each output. The menu is accessed pressing the MENU key referring to the output channel concerned. The programming menus are described below, recalling the general rules of navigation inside these: - the UP and DOWN ARROWS scroll the various items of each single page of the menu - the RIGHT ARROW enters the sub-page selected - the ENTER key accesses the sub-page selected - the LEFT ARROW moves to the higher level - the LEFT and RIGHT ARROWS regulate the parameter selected - the MENU key moves to the higher level - the ENTER key confirms selection After around 20 seconds of inactivity, the OSD menu is cleared automatically

25 7.1 IMAGE. Tune image menu This menu can be used to tune image parameters with regard to brightness, contrast, saturation, hue and sharpness. Select the parameter concerned and tune with the right and left arrow keys. These parameters belong to the input present on the MAIN and are also attributed to the channel present at that moment in the PIP window. Each of the 8 inputs has its personalized adjustment which is recalled each time that input is selected. In this way, each video source can be adjusted independently so as to permit display of constant image parameters adjusted to the destination connected to the output From this screen page, it is also possible to access definition of the format of the 8 inputs, as an alternative to the equivalent operation which can be carried out from the keyboard. Selecting the Input Format item, the format programming screen is accessed, whereas pressing the 8 keys of the inputs repeatedly, the various input formats available for each are scrolled: at the end of selection, confirm with ENTER. The Default Scheme item returns all the image parameters to the predefined default value

26 7.2 COLORS. Color adjustment menu Using this menu, it is possible to regulate the color parameters of the image. In particular, it is possible to adjust the gain and offset of each single color. This function may be useful in the case of simultaneous use of the 2 outputs on 2 different destinations (e.g. video-projectors of different manufacturers) to guarantee uniform color levels of the two destinations. The Default Scheme item of the previous menu returns all the image parameters to the predefined default value

27 7.3 TUNING. Special functions tuning menu This menu can be used to adjust certain particular image parameters. Some are dedicated to VGA analogue inputs (VGA group) while others are of the CVBS or YC type (VIDEO group). For the VGA analogue formats, we have: -Auto Adjustment :Improves centering of the image on the screen: only for Main when Pip is not active. The unit perform an automatic Auto Adjustment each time is connected a new VGA source or is changed the VGA source resolution. -Phase : Modifies the pixel energization point -Clocks/Line : Modifies the input signal sampling frequency As regards the Video formats, we have: -MPEG NR :Reduction of noise -MPEG NR Mode :Elimination MPEG artifacts -Dynamic NR Mode :Elimination of background noise -Fleshtone Adjust :Fleshtone adjustment -Blue Stretch :Correction of blue dominants -Main MADI Mode :De-interlacing mode -DCDi :Correction of artifacts of almost horizontal lines (Faroudja system) -CCS Mode :Elimination of cross color effect 27 27

28 7.4 POS/SIZE. Window size and position adjustment menu This menu can be used to adjust the size and position of the MAIN and PIP windows of the system These parameters will be those that will be used when selecting USER MODE as PIP mode, via the Left Arrow (channel One) or Right Arrow (channel Two) keys of the remote control. Selecting an adjustment, a setting diamond similar to that shown below will be displayed: use the four arrows, confirming selection with ENTER. The adjustment is made pixel by pixel. The RESIZE FULL item restores the windows to PIP over MAIN 1 mode with full-screen MAIN and PIP in the window to the bottom right

29 7.5 OVERLAY. Overlay Menu This menu can be used to set certain parameters for Overlay functioning in User Mode : the other 4 modes are predefined on the DVIPRO1000 and cannot be modified (see par 6.1.5). The modifiable parameters are the transparency intervention thresholds of the three basic colors (RGB) and the type of overlay mask. In particular, there are 4 types of Overlay Mode: 1) BELOW / AND: in this mode, all the pixels of the PIP image having all three colors RGB above the threshold set are made transparent 2) ABOVE / OR: in this mode, all the pixels of the PIP image having at least one of the three colors RGB below the threshold set are made transparent 3) BELOW / OR: in this mode, all the pixels of the PIP image having at least one of the three colors RGB above the threshold set are made transparent 4) ABOVE / AND: in this mode, all the pixels of the PIP image having all three colors RGB below the threshold set are made transparent Example 1: - to obtain a white character titling function, use a PIP image with black background and set the DVIPRO1000 as ABOVE / OR 29 29

30 Example 2: - to obtain a keyhole type function, use a PIP image with a black background and set the DVIPRO1000 as (BELOW / AND) For precise functioning, it is advisable to use images with a clearly defined outline for the PIP (preferably source from PC), in order to avoid areas of uncertainty in the color change zones. For adjustment of the Overlay parameters, it is advisable to set the machine to Overlay condition with the MAIN and PIP images superimposed and then adjust the parameters in real time using the menu. 7.6 OTHER. Other adjustments Certain parameters of various use can be modified in this menu page. Using the Fade Time item, switching time from one channel to the other is adjusted. There are 6 adjustment steps that correspond to an interval of time of from 0 to around 3 seconds. If in MIXER mode, setting the parameter to 0 corresponds to activating CUT mode switching. The time parameters from 1 to 6 are valid both for FADING and MIXER modes. Using the Channel OSD item, it is possible to enable or disable the OSD overlay that appears during switching operations for around 3 seconds

31 8.0 RS232 SERIAL AND ETHERNET COMMANDS All the programming operations described above can be carried out using the remote control or via a remote serial channel: this may be a standard RS232 serial line or an Ethernet LAN that the PC will see as a virtual serial port, programmable using a specific DSManager software driver that can be downloaded free from the site The entire set of commands for driving the DVIPRO1000 and for status acquisition are described below. Elpro makes available complete management software for remote driving of the DVIPRO1000. The serial line is of the three-wire type (TX RX GND) with Baud rate of 9600 baud, no parity and no control of hardware or software flow. The command strings to be sent to the machine and the expected replies are shown in the tables below. The strings consist of ASCII characters and are terminated with the [CR] character
