How to assign Main and Sub source buttons
The video inputs on the rear of the HS-600 are numbered 1 to 8. The first six are Composite (BNC) connectors and
inputs 7 and 8 are DVI inputs.
If we are using all of the video inputs then this numbering scheme works well and matches the default video
assignments of the Main Source and Sub-Source rows of buttons on HS-600 keyboard.
However, If we are only using the first four Composite inputs and one DVI input then switching becomes confusing.
We want to avoid choosing the wrong buttons (5, 6 and 8) that have no video supplied to them. So re-assigning the
video sources that we are using to the first five buttons of the Main and Sub Source rows can make switching easy.
It can also make us less likely to press a wrong button that will result in no video or
‘dead air’.
1: COUNT_DOWN_TIME
2: PIP
3: CG (LUMA KEY)
4: LOGO
5: VIDEO IN & OUT
6: AUDIO MIXER
7: MULTI. IMAGE
8: SYSTEM
9: STORE RECALL & UPDATE
10: RESET DVI_IN
ESCAPE
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.
[ IN / OUT SELECT ]
1: INPUT
2: OUTPUT
3: ASSIGN VIDEO SOURCES
4: DV & SDI
ESCAPE
[ ASSIGN VIDEO SOURCES ]
1: MAIN/SUB_1 =
INPUT_1
MAIN/SUB_1 relates to button 1 on the MAIN or SUB source row
of the HS-600 keyboard, MAIN/SUB_2 relates to button 2
…etc
So using our example of five sources (above) we only need to
assign the DVI (Input 7) to button 5 and the first five buttons now
relate to our sources. This changes the Multi-Image Preview also.
We can go a step further and also assign input 7 to buttons 6, 7
and 8 too. This so if we accidently hit them we will still mix video of
some kind rather than supply no video at all.
2: MAIN/SUB_2 = INPUT_2
3: MAIN/SUB_3 = INPUT_3
4: MAIN/SUB_4 = INPUT_4
5: MAIN/SUB_5 =
INPUT_7
6: MAIN/SUB_6 =
INPUT_7
7: MAIN/SUB_7 =
INPUT_7
8: MAIN/SUB_8 =
INPUT_7
ESCAPE
NOTE:
Care must be taken with this feature to avoid losing pictures from a connected video input too.
