Video Input Adjustment
It is possible to adjust the Composite or DVI video signals within the Datavideo HS-600 switcher. However, it is
always better to try to produce the best video signal possible from the input equipment first.
For example, if the connected video equipment is a live camera then it should be possible to white balance the
camera and reset its exposure level after any stage lighting has been set up. The cameras manual should explain
how to do this properly. This should ensure that the camera is feeding good pictures to the mixer. It should be very
rare that video input should still need adjusting within the HS-600, especially if the camera and lighting have
already been set up correctly.
For the same reasons any pre-recorded, or B Roll, video should be reviewed before being used in the production.

The HS-600 is set up by a series of menus. Once the initial settings
have been chosen they are stored within the system, so it may only be
necessary to make these changes once.
When the
SETTING
button
is pressed in the
EFFECTS
area of the
HS-600 keyboard the Main Menu list, shown left, is displayed between
the PST and PGM images on the Multi-Image Preview output.
This menu option allows the user to change settings which effect video
coming into or going out of the HS-600. Use the arrow buttons to
highlight the
VIDEO IN & OUT
item then press the
ENTER
button to
confirm the selection.
