If front-back signals are not needed, setting the Dveous to Tally mode will set the GPI outputs to tally
(low active) for the 12 possible inputs on the Dveous frame (for example, GPI output 1 tallies low
when input 1 to the Dveous is included in the output video). This “active” source tallying is the
recommended mode for connection to Synergy where possible. For more information, refer to your
Dveous Technical guide for GPI output pinouts and the
Remote Control Setup Menu section.
Dveous Operational Notes
Please note the following points for proper operation with the Synergy switcher:
• Stop on Limits
In order for the Dveous to stop on the limits of the keyframes when the Synergy sends
play commands, the
Stop Next button must be on (lit) on the Dveous panel. The Dveous
remote interface cannot set or change this value — thus it must be set on the Dveous if
required.
• Fader Bar Control
With DVE Send operation, when using the Synergy’s fader-bar to manually run the
effect, there may be a small difference between the start field and the end field points —
as compared to those when using the auto-trans button. Re-calibrating the faders should
minimize this difference.
If the difference is still visible in the effect, modify the effect accordingly so that nothing
happens on screen during these few fields at either end of the effect.
• Communication Loss
The Dveous may stop responding to the Synergy if an error occurs during
communication, such as if the cable is disconnected in the middle of a message, or if an
incorrect communication setup is sending incorrect messages. In some cases, the
Dveous will re-establish communications once the error is corrected. In other cases, the
Dveous will have to be reset or have its frame powered off and then back on, the
Synergy switcher should not need to be reset. It is a good idea to have
DVE Send off on
the Synergy panel until the Dveous has completed its reset or power-up sequence.
• Using Dveous as a 1 + 1 DVE
While the single standard Dveous Video and Key output is highly capable (including
keying internally), Accom informs us that an additional card (Channel Output) is
required to provide complete 1 + 1 DVE usage, such as full featured flying keys within
Synergy using the Dveous.
• Dveous Software Version
The Synergy interface was tested on version 6 Dveous software, installed in all the
Dveous modules.
This concludes the discussion for interfacing the Accom Dveous to the Synergy switcher as the
primary external DVE.
Note DVE Send ’s auto-trans and fader bar use commands which are
unaffected by the Stop Next option, so they will run through all the
keyframes during a full transition.
