The following terms and definitions are used throughout this guide:
• A “Background” is an unscaled source, typically originating from a computer.
PresentationPRO-II enables you to work with one background source which
appears at the system’s lowest priority — visually in back of all other sources.
• The abbreviation “BG” is also used throughout this guide for Background.
• A “Key” is an electronic (and visual) process whereby one image is electronically
superimposed over another source or a background. Keys are typically used for
titles and banners.
• A “Layer” is an image display element (such as a PIP, Key or Background) that
has an associated visual priority — either in front (or in back) of another layer.
• A “LOGO” is a full screen image that is selected from one of three still frames that
you can capture with PresentationPRO-II.
• A “Mixer” is the electronic circuitry that enables you to transition (and scale) PIPs
and Keys over a background. PresentationPRO-II has one internal mixer, capable
of layering either one PIP or one key.
• “Operator” refers to the person who uses the system.
• “PIP” refers to Picture-in-Picture, an on-screen effect in which one “scaled” picture
(typically of reduced size) is positioned over a background image. PIPs can be
reduced, enlarged, bordered, shadowed, and mixed on and off Program.
• “Screen” and “Menu” both refer to the Touch Screen menus.
• “System” refers to the PresentationPRO-II.
• A “Scaler” is the electronic circuitry that enables you to reduce or enlarge source
images, thus creating PIPs and Keys that can be positioned (and transitioned).

DSK source), plus one SD-SDI/HD-SDI input.
Each model combines an eight-input video router, Barco’s high performance proprietary
Athena scaler, and a full-featured control panel in a single integrated package. The eight
universal analog inputs accept standard component and composite analog video formats
(NTSC, PAL, SECAM), computer resolutions up to UXGA, analog HD formats including
720p, 1080i, 1080p and Plasma display resolutions.
The Barco Athena scaler features 1:1 pixel sampling, motion adaptive de-interlacing for
both standard and high definition sources, 3:2 and 2:2 pull down detection, low video delay
and aspect ratio correction. The operator can also capture and store still frames for use as
a background, DSK or LOGO source.
Each unit incorporates one analog and one DVI output, and supports output computer
resolutions up to 1600x1200, analog HDTV resolutions (including 720p and 1080p) and
Plasma display resolutions.
PresentationPRO-II uses three image layers to produce effects:
• One unscaled live background or DSK layer (shared resource)
• One scaled layer
• One LOGO layer
mêÉëÉåí~íáçåmolJff=cÉ~íìêÉë
Following is a detailed list of PresentationPRO-II features:
• Barco Proprietary Processing
~ 10-bit processing with 1:1 pixel sampling
~ Motion adaptive de-interlacing
~ 3:2 and 2:2 pull down detect
~ Image cropping and aspect ratio correction
^=tçêÇ=^Äçìí=i~óÉêë
PresentationPRO-II is a three layer system, but because the DVI input is shared between
Background and DSK (and only one can be used at a time), the allocation of the layers is
still very flexible:
Background (DVI)
Mixer
LOGO
In the layer example above, the DVI input is used as a background, thus the DSK cannot
be used. Here, users can layer a PIP or Key over the live DVI background, and place the
full-screen LOGO on top.
In the layer example below, the DVI input is used as a DSK, thus it cannot be used as a live
background. However, if the background layer is configured as a matte color, users can
layer a PIP or Key over the matte background, use the DSK on top, and place the full-
screen LOGO at the highest priority.
Background (Matte)
Mixer
DSK
LOGO
A layer is defined as an image display element (such as a background, PIP or Key) with an
associated visual priority. The mixer itself has one layer, which can be assigned to either
PIP or Key functionality.
A typical PresentationPRO-II application is illustrated below.

This section illustrates the many (but not all) combinations of image effects that you can
create on the PresentationPRO-II. Please note:
• In the following illustrations, the specific layers used in creating each effect are
labeled (e.g., PIP, Key).
• The symbol ↓↑ denotes a PIP, key or DSK that can transition.
S Example: PIP ↓↑ indicates that you can dissolve a PIP up or down over a
background.
The PresentationPRO-II system provides one background, one scalable layer, a DSK and
a full screen LOGO. The LOGO, DSK and background are always unscaled.
jáñÉê=bÑÑÉÅí=N
This effect includes a live (DVI) background and one transitioning PIP.

Each button represents an input that you can assign to a PIP or a key.
• Buttons 1 through 8 correspond to the eight analog inputs on the rear panel.
• The SDI button corresponds to the SD-SDI input (SDI Model) or the SD-SDI / HD-
SDI input (HD Model) on the rear panel.
Press a button on the Source Selection Bus to assign the source to the blinking PIP or
Key effect in the Layer Functions Section.
• A source button that is blinking indicates that the source is “pending.” It has been
assigned as the next PIP or Key source, and can be taken to Program with the
next transition.
• When a source button is lit solid, the source is on Program. It cannot be modified
until its associated PIP or Key button is pressed and blinking.
• One solid source (Program) and one blinking source (pending) can appear on the
Source Selection Bus simultaneously.
In Chapter 5, refer to the “Comprehensive Input Setup” section on page 90 for details on
all source setup procedures.

Layer Functions
The buttons in the Layer Functions Section enable you to control the layers and effects
that transition to and from Program.
Please note the following important points:
• The buttons are arranged from left-to-right in order of visual priority — from the
background (at the lowest priority) to the LOGO (at the highest visual priority).
• The PresentationPRO-II system enables you to “pend” one transition at a time,
such as a PIP or Key transition, a background, DSK or LOGO transition, or a
“clear” function.
• Because the mixer has a single scaler, you cannot transition a PIP and a Key
simultaneously. With a PIP on Program, however, you can “pend” a Key. When
TRANS is pressed, the PIP transitions off and the Key transitions on. Similarly, if
a Key is on Program, you can pend a PIP.
Note Remember that a live Background and the DSK are mutually
exclusive. This occurs because the BG/DSK Input is shared.
PIP — press to pend a PIP transition or modify the active PIP. The button blinks when
selected, and the PIP Adjustment Menu appears on the Touch Screen. In Chapter 4,
PIP refer to the “PIP Adjustment Menu” section on page 57 for details.
KEY — press to pend a Key transition or modify the active Key. The button blinks when
selected, and the Key Adjustment Menu appears on the Touch Screen. In Chapter 4,
KEY refer to the “Key Menu” section on page 65 for details. In Chapter 6, refer to the “Working
with Layers” section on page 102 for complete instructions on all PIP and key modes.
LOGO — press to pend a LOGO transition or select the LOGO source. The button blinks
when selected and the Logo Input Setup Menu appears on the Touch Screen. In
LOGO Chapter 4, refer to the “LOGO Input Setup Menu” section on page 82 for details.
Please note:
• The logo is the system’s highest priority layer, to which you can assign one of
PresentationPRO-II’s three internal frame stores.
• The LOGO layer is often used as a “black preview” function. If Black is selected
as the “type” on the Logo Input Setup menu, you can fade to black at any time by
pending a LOGO transition.
• The logo is not a live input, and does not have an associated key signal.
FULL SCREEN — press to take the selected (blinking) PIP or Key to full screen. In each
case, the source’s height will be used as the parameter that defines the full screen size.
FULL
SCREEN S Example: If a source’s original dimension is 1280 x 1024, pressing FULL
SCREEN expands (or reduces) that PIP to fill the output screen vertically. If
borders are ON, they will be taken into account so that they are visible.
In Chapter 6, refer to the “Using Full Screen” section on page 114 for instructions.
CLEAR — press to “pend” the removal of the currently selected (blinking) layer from
Program — in the next transition. For example, you can “clear” a PIP, Key, still frame
CLEAR background, DSK or LOGO. In Chapter 6, refer to the “Working with Layers” section on
page 102 for instructions.
FREEZE — press to freeze the selected (blinking) PIP or Key on Program. In Chapter 6,
refer to the “Using Freeze” section on page 114 for instructions.
FREEZE
RESET — press to reset the current effect (e.g., PIP, Key, crop, etc.) to a nominal default
value. You can think of this function as being “context sensitive” — as it resets only the
RESET current effect, without affecting other modifications.
S Example: If you adjust a PIP’s size, border and shadow, and wish to reset
only the border, navigate to the Border Menu and press Reset.
In Chapter 6, refer to the “Using Reset” section on page 114 for details.
TRANS — press to transition the pending layer(s) to or from Program — using either a mix
or wipe. The wipe patterns, edge types and transition rates are selected using the Effects
TRANS Menu.
• In Chapter 4, refer to the “Effects Menu” section on page 53 for menu details.
• In Chapter 6, refer to the “Working with Transitions” section on page 115 for
operational procedures.

The figure below illustrates a sample Input Menu:
Gamma 1.0
The Input Menu is used to adjust all parameters relating to inputs. Using the menu, you
can set all of the configuration options for the selected source.
There are several ways to access the menu:
• Press {INPUT} on the Home Menu.
• Press PIP or KEY in the Layer Functions Section, then press an input on the
Source Selection Bus and ensure the button is blinking. If the Input
Acquisition Menu appears (because the source has not yet been saved, or
because video has not been detected), press {INPUT}.
On the Input Menu, the currently selected input is shown in the menu’s upper right corner
(e.g., SRC_3). The menu tracks the selected input, thus, if you switch inputs on the
Source Selection Bus, the menu is immediately re-assigned to the new input.
fåéìí=jÉåì=cìåÅíáçåë
The following Input Menu functions are provided:
• Format — this line performs two functions:
~ Displays the resolution that is automatically determined by the FORCE
ACQUIRE function.
~ Enables you to set the resolution of the incoming source if desired. Once
the format is selected manually with the rotary knob, press {SELECT
FORMAT} to “accept” the selection.
In Appendix A, refer to the “Input and Output Resolutions“ section on page 129
for additional details regarding resolutions.
• Input Type — sets the type of input connected to the PresentationPRO-II, such as
RGB, SD, HD or Composite. Available choices change depending on the
selected format. Selections include RGB, YPbPr, Composite/S-Video, SDI
and HD SDI.
• Color Space — sets the input’s color space. Choices include SMPTE and RGB.
Note that the system will automatically set the Color Space based on the selected
Format and Input Type.
• Sampling Mode — sets the sampling mode for the selected input, either 1:1 or
oversample.
~ When 1:1 Sampling is selected, the system provides pixel-for-pixel
sampling, and generally better image quality.
~ When Oversample is selected, the system performs multiple samples
for every pixel, with a resulting “softer” image.
• Contrast — sets the input’s contrast. The adjustment range is from 75% to
125%.
• Brightness — sets the input’s brightness. The adjustment range is from 75% to
125%.
• Gamma — sets the input gamma, enabling you to match the gamma of the
source. The adjustment range is from 1.0 to 3.0, in 0.1 increments.
• Input Sync Type — sets the type of sync used by the selected source. Choices
include H/V, CSync (composite sync), SOG (sync on green) and Auto.
• Pulldown Compensation — (On/Off) This function is applicable only for
standard video (component, s-video, composite) inputs. The default mode is off.
The feature should be turned on to process video derived from film material.
• Sync Slice <mv> — This function selects the sync comparator threshold for
RGsB (RGB with Sync on Green) or YPbPr analog component video sources.
The value ranges from 20mV to 280mV and is adjustable in steps of 10mV. The
default value is 160mV.
When PresentationPRO-II detects Macrovision® copy protection on incoming
YPbPr NTSC/PAL video, the Sync Slice value is repositioned to 60mV to account
for the reduced amplitude sync pulse.
Note The default Sync Slice level has been optimized for virtually
all sources that will be encountered and should rarely, if ever,
require adjustment. However, the ability to adjust the Sync
Slice level is provided to improve sync detection and
synchronization in cases of extremely noisy RGsB or YPbPr
video signals.
• Sharpness — sets the input’s sharpness. The adjustment range is from -10 (soft)
to 10 (sharp).
• Press {CFG} to display the Input Configuration Menu. Refer to the “Input
Configuration Menu” section on page 34 for details.
• Press {AR} to display the Aspect Ratio Menu. Refer to the “Aspect Ratio Menu”
section on page 38 for details.
• Press {SAVE} to save the selected input in the designated input file.
Note Every sub menu under the Input Menu includes a {SAVE}
button. This enables you to save the input at any point in the
adjustment process, regardless of your location within the
menu tree. The “save” function uses the information selected
on the Input Configuration Menu.
fåéìí=mêÉ=~åÇ=pìÄ=jÉåìë
The following pre and sub menus can be accessed from the Input Menu:
• Input Acquisition Menu

INPUT
There are two situations in which the Input Acquisition Menu can appear:
1. After a factory reset has been performed, the Input Acquisition Menu
automatically appears when you first select a source — but prior to pressing
TRANS for the first time. As each source button is pressed, the system acquires
the video and displays the menu. The following options are available:
~ Press {SAVE} to save the source and display the Input Menu, or ...
~ Press {INPUT} to display the Input Menu without saving the source.
In this way, you can quickly acquire and save all nine inputs.
2. After TRANS has been pressed for the first time, the Input Acquisition Menu will
appear when you (a) select a source that has not been previously saved, and (b)
press TRANS to transition that source to Program. Here also, the menu is
displayed and you can save the source.
Once the source has been saved, the Input Acquisition Menu will not be shown again,
unless the system discovers that video is not present.
If you select a source and there is a video mismatch, if video is not present or if the
acquisition fails, one of the following messages will appear:

SAVE DELETE
Each input has an associated input file that stores all input parameters and settings. Each
time an input is selected in the Source Selection Bus, its associated file is recalled.
The Input Configuration Menu enables you to save the input’s associated file — which
guarantees that the exact parameters you set are those that are used on air.
The following functions are provided:
• File Number — sets the file number into which data is stored. In the current
version, the file number automatically defaults to the input number and cannot be
changed.
• File Name — sets the alphanumeric file name. In the current version, the file
name automatically defaults to the input name and cannot be changed.
• Press {SAVE} to save the selected input in the designated input file.
• Press {DELETE} to delete the selected input file.

The Frame Grab Menu enables you to capture still frames into the system’s three internal
frame stores. The “source” of the still frames is the system’s BG/DSK input or the scaled
inputs.
Once captured, a still frame can be assigned as the input “type” for BG, the DSK or the
LOGO source.
The three frame stores utilize PresentationPRO-II’s “temp” (temporary) memory for on-air
production. During operation, you can overwrite the memory with new captured stills as
desired — as it takes only a few seconds to capture a still. Note that stills in “temp”
memory are lost when the system is powered down.
You can also store three stills in “permanent” flash memory, which will not be lost when the
system is powered down. At bootup, the contents of flash memory is read into “temp”
memory for use on-air. It takes several minutes to save a still into permanent memory, and
this procedure should not be performed on-air. Permanent frames can also be overwritten.
To access the Frame Grab Menu, use one of the following methods:
• Press {FRAME GRAB} from the BG/DSK Input Setup Menu, when “Type” is set
to DVI (in both the BG and DSK modes).
• Press {FRAME GRAB} from the Home Menu.
Note The top line of the menu will change accordingly, depending
on the access path.
Save Now?
~ Press YES to save the frame. All front panel controls will be locked for
up to three minutes.
~ Press NO to cancel the procedure.
• Press {DELETE} to delete the selected frame from permanent storage. This
button only appears when frames are stored in permanent memory.

LOGO is the highest priority layer and downstream of all other effects, the “black” source
can serve as a convenient way to fade all effects to black — without changing any of the
image setups underneath the LOGO.

With PresentationPRO-II, you can use the DVI input, a matte color, or a still frame as the
background source. Please note:
• The system has one DVI connector (BG/DSK) that can be used for either the
Background or the DSK — but not both simultaneously.
• The BG/DSK input (along with a scaled PIP image) is the source of still frames
that can be captured and used as the background.
• The function of the BG/DSK input is determined by the “Mode” line on the BG/
DSK Input Setup Menu. When set to BG, the background setup procedures
outlined below apply.
Select the procedure below for the type of background that you wish to set up:
• Programming EDID
• Using a Matte Color as the Background
• Using the DVI Input as the Background
• Using a Still Frame as the Background

pçÑíï~êÉ=réÖê~ÇÉ=lîÉêîáÉï
Firmware files for the PresentationPRO-II system are loaded into the hardware at power-
up. These files are stored in the unit’s onboard flash memory, which can be accessed by
using one of the following two methods:
• Serial — this method is the easiest to set up and use. The PC connection is
made through the Serial 1 port on the PresentationPRO-II rear panel, in
conjunction with the “Flash Loader” utility supplied with each upgrade.
• Ethernet — this method uses the rear panel’s Ethernet port in conjunction with a
small network consisting of a PC (or Laptop), a network hub and the
PresentationPRO-II unit. However, this method still requires a serial port to be
connected.
The Flash Loader utility enables you to update the Flash memory with the latest software
revision. The utility should be run from a PC’s hard drive (recommended).
