Step 3: Power Up
Connect Compass S2
™
to 115 VAC power using the power cord supplied with the unit. Locate the power switch on the power entry
module at the rear of the unit and turn the power on. The unit will flash all of the front panel illuminated keys in unison, first with red,
then green, and then white. While the main board is initializing, “please wait” will be displayed. The front panel display will show the
main menu which indicates the unit has powered up successfully.
Step 4: Power Up Display
The default power-up condition is to set the video to BLK (black screen input) as the “Main” source, Source 1 as the “Preview” video
source, MUTE as “Main” audio source and Source 1 as the “Preview” audio source. The keys for the video and audio input sources
currently selected for the main outputs will be red. The keys for the video and audio input sources currently selected for the preview
outputs will be green. The remaining source selection keys will be yellow.
Step 5: Source Selection and Dissolve
The user can easily select any of the video and audio input sources as the current preview sources simply by pushing the
corresponding video or audio source select key. Each time a new video and audio preview source is selected, the key for the selected
source will turn green and the video and audio on the preview monitor and speakers will display output video and audio derived from
the newly selected preview source. The currently selected preview source can be dissolved seamlessly to the main output by pressing
the DSLV key. The preview video and audio sources automatically and seamlessly switch to the main video and audio outputs. See the
manual for the “Audio Breakaway” feature.
Step 6: Select Desired Video Output Format
Set the video output from Compass S2
™
to match the projector or other display device. Enter the Output Setup menu by depressing the
OUTPUT SETUP key. The OUTPUT SETUP key will turn from white to red. An arrow “>” will be displayed next to “FORMAT.” Press the
“Select” key. A solid block will start to flash in the arrow location. Rotating the encoder dial will scroll through the available output
resolutions. Stop on the desired output resolution and press “Select.” The output is now set to the desired output format. Press the
OUTPUT SETUP key to leave the Output Setup menu.
Step 7: Projector Adjustments
Proper projector setup is critical to optimize the quality of the output image. Once Compass S2’s output is set to match the native
resolution of the projector, the scaling engine in the projector should be disabled. The methods used to disable the internal scaler within
the projector vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Compass S2’s Output Setup menu allows the user to select test patterns that are
used during projector adjustment. Please consult the operator’s manual for your equipment.
Step 8: Configure Video and Audio Input Sources
Compass S2
™
will automatically lock to video applied to the eight universal inputs and will make a “best guess” at the video format
(RGB, YUV, S-Video, NTSC/PAL) and all associated video parameters. While the “best guess” approach generally leads to an
acceptable output image, it is
strongly recommended
that the user set up a configuration file to precisely define the video and audio
parameters associated with each video and audio input pair before running a show. The use of configuration files provides consistent,
repeatable operation and allows the user to adjust video and audio parameters for each source to optimize image and sound quality.
Up to 64 configuration files can be stored for use. Each time a video or audio source is selected with the Source Selection keys, the
configuration file associated with that source is automatically reloaded.
Setting up input configuration files is simple. Proceed as follows for each input:
1. Select the source you wish to work with as the Preview source.
2. Press the INPUT SETUP menu key. Examine the image on the Preview monitor and adjust the video input parameters as desired.
The Input Setup menu is described in detail in Section 6.5 of the Installation and Operating Manual. Many of the parameters may
require no adjustment, however, be sure that the INPUT TYPE menu item is selected to match the incoming source. Also verify
that the type of sync indicated in the PROCESSING submenu matches the incoming source. Press the AUDIO button and enter
the audio INPUT SETUP menu and adjust the video input parameters as desired.
3. When the input setup parameters have been set as desired, Press the INPUT SETUP button and enter the SAVE AS submenu to
save the setup parameters as a file. The next available file number is automatically shown on the first line of the SAVE INPUT FILE
menu. You can use this file number to create a new file or assign another number. The third line in the menu allows you to assign
an eight-character file name to the file. Entry of a file name is optional. When the file number and name have been entered, select
SAVE to save the configuration. The file is saved and automatically assigned to the source used for the input setup process. The
input configuration file will automatically be recalled for use each time the source is selected.
