Switcher OSD MENU Functions
The HS-1200 HD 6-Channel Portable Video Studio offers the user an OSD menu to perform several image
effect configurations, such as Picture-in-Picture, keyers, downstream keys, still pictures and etc. The user
can also configure the I/O by selecting the Inputs and Outputs options. In addition, under the setup options,
the user is allowed to set the menu color, size, position and language.
The OSD Menu also gives the user the flexibility to switch between basic and advanced modes. The basic
mode is generally a condensed version of the advanced menu mode. The following sections will show you
the options available in these two modes.
5.1
Start
The “Start” option generally allows the user to set the Transition duration, the Transition type, and various
WIPE effect parameters. The OSD menu display is illustrated in the table below.

Transition
The transition option allows the user to set the transition duration, in frames, for switching to the PGM
view when using the
AUTO
,
DSK
and
FTB
buttons. The sub-options are (AUTO) Mix Effect (
M/E
),
Downstream Key (
DSK
) and Fade-To-Black (
FTB
). If the M/E is set to a value of 50 then the transition will
take effect over a period of 50 frames or roughly 2 seconds. When the
AUTO button
is pressed, the
transition will take the current M/E value.
Wipe Effects
This sub-option allows the user to select the desired Wipe Transition Effect and configure the wipe’s border
softness and width.
•
Wipe
– Wipe Effect Selection.
•
Soft
– A low value results in a solid edge border and a high value gives a soft diffused border.
•
Width
– A low value results in a thin border and a high value gives a wide border.
Border
After selecting this sub-option, the user will then be allowed to fine-tune the border color by adjusting the
Luma, Saturation and Hue values, i.e. Luma, Sat and Hue.
