methods and algorithms and provide different MODIFY menus: WIPE MODIFY and DVE MODIFY.

10-9-1. Modified Pattern Data

When opening the [FUNCTION > TRANS > TRANS] menu, selected pattern numbers and
icons are displayed under PATTERN NO. If a pattern is modified, the letter "M' is added in
front of the pattern number.

A pattern can be differently modified for the background and KEY1-4 buses, because each
bus has two temporary buffers to store WIPE and DVE pattern data. Note that, however,
modified data will be lost if another pattern is selected for a bus.

The DIRECT patterns allow you to store “pattern and modified information” and to load the
data as needed. (See Sec. 10-8. “Direct Pattern Function.")

49

11-2. Creating Bus Keys
Bus Keys use different signals for the INSERT SIGNAL and SOURCE SIGNAL. To create a Bus
Key, select key insert and key source signals in the menus. Since selecting both signals in the
menu takes time, the switcher KEY LINK function allows you to select an insert and source signal
pair by selecting only an insert signal. See Sec. 11-2-1. "Key Link" for details.

(1) Open the [FUNCTION > KEYER FLEXaKEY > SRC INS > M/E1] menu.
(2) Select BUS under KEY1 KEYTYPE.
(3) Select a video signal under INSERT SIGNAL.
(4) Select a video signal under SOURCE SIGNAL.

Using a MATTE for KEY INSERT

The internally generate matte signal can be used as key fill (KEY INSERT). To do so, INSERT
TYPE to MATTE and select the color under INSERT MATTE.

► See Sec. 11-3. "Adjusting Key Signal" for details on making fine adjustments.
► Key edge, invert, mask and DVE effects can be applied to these keys. See the following
sections.

11-2-1. Key Link

If KEY LINK is on, a paired Key Source video is automatically selected when a Key Insert
video is selected.

 Using Key Links

First, turn KEY LINK to ON (default) in the [SETUP > SYSTEM > MU SETUP] menu. Then,
successively select key insert and source pair signals as necessary for a BUS key in the
menu to save key link pairs.
The INSERT/SOURCE signal pairs for Bus keys are automatically set once they are selected
for a key. To reassign a signal assignment, select the INSERT/SOURCE signal pair again for
the key or another key. The same assignments are shared among all keys.

 11-2-2. Key Quick Recall (KEY SET: INPUT)
If KEY SET is changed from KEYER to INPUT, key setups can be quickly recalled by
selecting corresponding KEY INSERT signals. Open the [SETUP> SYSTEM > MU SETUP]
menu to change the KEY SET setting for each key, as needed.

 KEY SET Setting

INPUT KEY TYPE, Key CLIP, GAIN, FAM ON/OFF and Chromakey adjustment
settings are stored in each input set for KEY INSERT and are not saved to
events and sequences.
KEYER KEY TYPE, Key CLIP, GAIN, FAM ON/OFF and Chromakey adjustment
settings are stored in each key and are saved to events and sequences.

 Operation Example
To quickly recall key settings, which are set up in M/E1KEY1 and M/E1KEY2, to M/E2KEY2,
proceed as follows.

(1) Open the [SETUP > SYSTEM > MU SETUP] menu. Change KEY SET to INPUT under
M/E1KEY1, M/E1KEY2 and M/E2KEY2.
(2) Create a logo key for M/E1KEY1 using IN01 (KEY INSERT).
(3) Create a chromakey for M/E1KEY2 using IN02 (KEY INSERT).
(4) Select IN01 (KEY INSERT) for M/E2KEY2. The logo key set for M/E1KEY1 is recalled.
Then, select IN02 to recall the chromakey set for M/E1KEY2.

This function (KEY SET: INPUT) is very useful for live broadcast, streaming, or recording
purposes, however , note that these settings are not saved to events.

11-3. Adjusting Key Signal

Clip and Gain allows users to adjust the key signal and its composition over the background. Key
transparency can also be adjusted. Adjust these parameters while monitoring keys on the screen
by displaying keys on the Program, Preview or Clean video.

(1) Open [FUNCTION > KEYER FLEXaKEY > SRC INS > M/E1] menu.
(2) Adjust the key gain under ADJUST GAIN.
(3) Adjust the key clip level under CLIP.
(4) If increasing the TRANSP value, the key appears more transparent.
(5) If set FAM to ON, the key will created using Full Additive Mix.

For Bus type keys, key luminance thresholds can be adjusted. Set the upper and lower
luminance levels for clipping, and turn ON CLIP ENABLE.

11-4-2. Chroma Key adjustments

If the desired result is not achieved using the automatic chroma key generation procedure,
fine adjustments can be made as follows:
Use CK EDGE to smooth
Adjust HUE, ANGLE and chroma key edges.
ANGLE OFFSET to make
the background clear.
Use COLOR CANCEL
and SUPPRESSION to
eliminate or reduce
color noise on the bird.

[FUNCTION > KEYER FLEXaKEY > SRC INS] menu

 Adjusting Edges
Used to adjust the edge of the Keyed area when it appears unnatural.
Open the [FUNCTION > KEYER FLEXaKEY > SRC INS] menu and adjust the left edge under
CK EDGE L and the right edge under CK EDGE R.

 GAIN and Clip

These parameters are used to adjust the key signal and its composition over the background
image.

 Chroma Key Mix Mode

Adjust the Chroma Key Mix Mode using MODE and MASK parameters.
Parameter Description
MODE NOR Used for ordinary background images.
BLK Used for lower luminance background images. Reduces the luminance
level of chroma key edges to appear smoother.
MASK NOR Used for the standard chroma key composite. (Used to mask areas
characterized by both luminance and chrominance components with
the key cut signal.)
CHROMA Used to mask areas characterized by the chrominance component
with the key cut signal. (See the next chapter.)

 Adjusting Chroma key Colors

Fine-tune specific chroma key colors under HUE.

 Chroma Angle
The ANGLE parameter determines the width of the color hue. If the reference color (blue back
panel or other background) is not uniform and has some variation, widen the ANGLE to make
the HUE range wider. You can fine-tune the range using the Y, C and K parameters of
ANGLE OFFSET.

 Color Cancellation and Suppression

Turning ON Color Cancel (default) reduces the reflection in the foreground and background
images. If you still notice some tint or spill of color (blue) on the foreground subject, use the Y,
C1, and C2 parameters in SUPPRESSION respectively to eliminate or reduce the color noise.

11-4-3. Example (Images with a Specified Color Left)

KEY INVERT to ON in the [FUNCTION > KEYER FLEXaKEY > SRC INS] menu.

12. Assigning DVE Channels
The HVS-2000 has 8 DVE modules as standard: 4 modules each for M/E1 (LINE1) and M/E2 (LINE2).
These modules are applied to the BKGD or Key buses as a DVE channel or DVE pattern to allow
various advanced effects. FLEXaKEYs can use DVE effects by assigning available DVE channels in
each M/E.

12-1. Pattern Transitions with DVE Types

A DVE channel is required for transitions with a DVE pattern (PATTERN 100 and later) regardless
of whether the pattern is modified or not. Two DVE channels are used if BKGD and KEY1
transitions are performed using DVE type patterns, for example.
See Sec. 10-7. ”Pattern (WIPE/DVE) Transitions” for details on pattern transitions.
 To Release a DVE Channel from a Bus
Change the pattern for the bus from DVE to WIPE type (or transition type from WIPE to MIX or
CUT). Or, turn LINE DVE to OFF for the bus.

12-2. Assigning DVE Channels to Buses (LINE DVE)

LINE DVE is a function that applies DVE effects to individual buses, not patterns, and applies
reduction, enlargement, movement, rotation, lighting, and other effects using the DVE MODIFY
menu. It can be used for the PGM, PST, KEY and FLEXaKEY buses.

For example, LINE DVE allows you to create PinP images as shown below, by turning on LINE
DVE on the PGM bus, reducing the PGM video size and moving it to the lower-right corner.

12-4. Assigning 3D DVE (HVS-2000DVE)

An HVS-2000DVE card is required for 3D DVE effects.

An HVS-2000DVE card adds 4 channels of 3D DVE and allows you to use 3D preset patterns
such as Page Turn and Page Roll and apply Warp or Highlight effects to images.
Before using 3D DVE patterns or effects in a bus, a 3D DVE channel must be assigned to the bus
by changing DVE SETUP to 3D. For example, to assign 3D DVE channel to M/E2KEY1, proceed
as follows.

(1) Open the [FUNCTION > DVE MODIFY > SETUP] menu.
(2) Change DVE SETUP from 2.5D to 3D.

 3D DVE Channels
The number of available 3D DVE channels changes depending on the implementation of

13. DVE Effects
This chapter shows how to apply DVE effects to M/E2KEY1 as an example. Assume that LINE DVE is
set to ON for M/E2KEY1. (See Sec. 12-2-2. “Enabling LINE DVE on a BUS.") In this example, the
KEY1 image, to which DVE effects is applied, is called “DVE image.”

13-1. Changing Position and Size

Let’s change the position and size of a DVE image using the menu or joystick.

(1) Open the [FUNCTION > DVE MODIFY > POS/SIZE] menu.
(2) Change the DVE image position using POSITION X and Y.
(3) Change the DVE image size under SIZE.

The base POSITION of the DVE image is originally the center of the output
screen. You can set the position of the image by specifying X and Y coordinates,
 with the origin of the axes located at screen-center.
Setting the size allows users to change the size of key images while retaining
aspect ratios. If the value is 1,000, the key images will be full-screen size.

The POS/SIZE STEP parameter in [M/E1,2 FLEXaKEY > M/E1 > BKGD PGM >
 MODIFY >DVE INIT/SETUP] menu PAGE20 allows you to enlarge the maximum
size from 1000 to 4096 to enable finer settings.

72
13-2. Rotation
In addition to position and size changes, users can add rotational effects to DVE images.
Open the [FUNCTION > DVE MODIFY > ROTATION] menu.
Remember that DVE images are located at their POSITION X and Y coordinates, with the origin of
the axes located at the center of the screen.
 GLOBAL ROTATION
Rotates DVE images around the center of the screen up to approximately eight times in the
positive or negative direction.

X rotation Y rotation Z rotation

 GLOBAL POSITION
Sets the GLOBAL axis position for DVE images.
 LOCAL ROTATION
Rotates DVE images around the center of the DVE image (GLOBAL POSITION values) up to
approximately eight times in the positive or negative direction.

X rotation Y rotation Z rotation

 LOCAL POSITION
Sets the LOCAL axis position for DVE images.

 PERSPECTIVE
Allows you to add the perspective effect to a pattern or DVE image.
This effect requires an HVS-2000DVE option card.

13-3. CROP/MASK
CROP or MASK can be selected for DVE image trimming.
Open the [FUNCTION > DVE MODIFY > POS/SIZE] menu.
Select CROP or MASK under CROP/MASK.
Set the trimming region under TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT and RIGHT. The background image will
appear in the trimming region.

 synchronizer is inoperable while an INPUT STILL is displayed or enabled. (See
Sec. 6-6. “Frame Synchronizer.”)

15-3-2. Returning to Input Video Display

To return IN05 to input video, open [SETUP > INPUT > SIGNAL] menu, and change CTRL
from STILL to INPUT.

85
15-4. Saving Multiple Still / Clip Sets
Although HVS-2000 units automatically back up 4 captured still images and clips (one data set) in
the built-in HDD and load them on start-up, the BANK SELECT menu allows you to store multiple
data sets of images by manually changing the destination location.
Furthermore, this menu can also specify the still data destination for events.
The diagram below shows the case where BANK02 is set as the backup memory.

STILL1-6 V-RAM BANKS

16. Multiview Output
The multiviewer allows you to monitor multiple images such as video sources input to the switcher and
internally generated or combined images on the same screen. The switcher provides two multiviewer
channels (MV1 and MV2), with each output having various types of split displays: 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11,
13, 14 and 16 way.
Each MV channel provides dual outputs: Out-A and Out-B. Out-A displays a multiview image while
Out-B displays a key signal (alpha-channel) output of window layout. Only in quad-screen mode,
Out-B can display a quad screen image different from Out-A.
Different video images can be displayed in different patterns. An HVS-2000MV option card allows you
to add 2 channels (MV3 and MV4). Video titles and on-air tally information can also be displayed. This
chapter use MV1 as an example, but MV1 and MV2 operations are the same.
Note that the multiviewer outputs are delayed by one frame relative to the program output.

Note that adding an HVS-2000ME card disables all the standard and optional multiview channels.

The setup procedure for the multiviewer is as follows:

1. Assign a multiviewer video to an AUX output bus.

21. Sequence Function
See the HVS-2000/OU Operation Manual for details on sequence function.

21-1. Basic Sequence Operations

The HVS-2000 allows you to create sequences based on which buses are to be used.
For example, to create sequences of the M/E1, create a group of M/E1 BKGD and M/E1 KEY1 to
4, then create and store sequences based on the group.

This chapter explains basic sequence operations: how to create, store, load and play sequences
using only one bus, M/E1 BKGD. Then, the next chapter (Sec. 21-2) describes the details on
sequence group management.

21-1-1. Creating New Sequences

This chapter shows how to create a sequence of M/E1 BKGD in three steps as an example.

 Selecting M/E1 BKGD

(1) Open the [MEMORY > SEQUENCE > EDIT] menu.
(2) Select GROUP0 under GROUP. (See Sec. 21-2 for details on GROUP.)
(3) Tap M1BG.

 Creating Steps
(4) Tap NEW to clear the M/E1 BKGD block in the working memory.
(5) Create “Video A.” Tap ADD to save it to Step 1.
(6) Create “Video B.” Tap ADD to save it to Step 2.
(7) Create “Video C.” Tap ADD to save it to Step 3.

Now the sequence is created and saved in the working memory.

Note that DVE channel switching may cause video distortion.

The switches will happen in cases when turning LINE-DVE On/Off, or changing the
transition type or pattern.

105
21-1-2. Storing Sequences

(3) Tap STORE.
(4) Tap M1BG.
(5) Tap SEQUENCE NO.10.
(6) Tap STORE EXEC.
The sequence data in the working memory is stored to Sequence Memory 10.

Although the sequence data saved in the working memory is cleared and lost when the
switcher is powered off, it can be kept and recalled by storing it to sequence memory. Up to
30 sequences (10 x 3 pages) of 20 steps at most for each bus can be saved to sequence
memory.

21-1-3. Playing Back Sequences

Step settings

 INTERPOLATION mode between Steps

The INTERPOLATION mode allows you to add no interpolation (OFF), or to interpolate steps
smoothly (SMOOTH) or linearly (LINE).

 Changing Playback Time (DURATION)

As factory default, durations between steps (keyframes) are defined as 30 frames (for video in
60 Hz format) or 25 frames (for video in 50 Hz format). Each duration, however, can be
changed.
For example, if the STEP04 duration in the following sequence is changed to 60 (frames), the
total duration is summed up to 150 (frames).
TOTAL DURATION：150

DUR：30 DUR：30 DUR：30 DUR：60

 Break Points
If BREAK is set to ON for a step, the sequence play will pause on the step. Retapping
PLAY/PAUSE resumes the sequence play.
Note that BREAK settings are disabled in loop playback mode.

21-2. Sequence Group Operation

Sequence Group in the HVS-2000 is a strong tool for sequence bus operations and allows you to
flexibly manage video buses in sequences. Once buses are grouped, sequence operations using
multiple buses can be performed only by selecting a group.
In the previous chapter, sequences are operated with only one bus, M/E1 BKGD). This chapter,
however, shows how to operate sequences having multiple buses using the following operation
examples:
 M/E1 BKGD and M/E2KEY1 to M/E2KEY4 are grouped in Group 0. (See Sec. 21-2-1.)
 M/E2 BKGD and M/E2KEY1 to M/E2KEY4 are grouped in Group 1. (See Sec. 21-2-1.)
 Create and store sequences based on Group 0 or Group 1. (See Sec. 21-2-2.)
 Select to narrow down the bus data while storing or loading sequences. (See Sec. 21-2-3.)

21-2-1. Assigning Buses to a Group

 Assigning five M/E1 buses to GROUP 0
(1) Open the [MEMORY > SEQUENCE > EDIT] menu.
(2) Tap GROUP to select GROUP0.
(3) Tap GROUP SELECT to pop-up an input dialog box.
(4) Tap M1BG, M1K1, M1K2, M1K3 and M1K4 to select 5 buses.
This allows you to simultaneously use these M/E1 buses for sequences under GROUP 0.

109
 Assigning five M/E2 buses to GROUP 1.
(1) Tap GROUP to select GROUP0.
(2) Tap GROUP SELECT.
(3) Tap M2BG, M2K1, M2K2, M2K3 and M2K4 to select 5 buses.
This allows you to simultaneously use these M/E2 buses for sequences under GROUP 1.

Note that PLAY SELECT allows you to directly select buses for playback.

21-2-2. Creating, Editing and Playing Sequences

Once group settings are complete, select GROUP0 or GROUP1 in the [SEQUENCE > EDIT]
menu, then create, edit and play sequences in the same manner as described in Sec 21-1.
If GROUP0 is selected, five M/E1 buses are simultaneously set for sequence operations.
If GROUP1 is selected, five M/E2 buses are simultaneously set for sequence operations.

Note that group bus assignments are not fixed and able to change accordingly.
Be careful, however, that a video bus cannot belong to two or more groups, but to only one
group simultaneously, although buses can be assigned to any group.

ALL data files will be stored to the “HVS-2000” folder in the root directory.
A lot of sequence data will take a longer time, more than 30 minutes, to save ALL data. In such
cases, change MU ALL DATA to MU ALL except SEQ to save ALL data excluding sequences.

Do not remove the USB drive while the access lamp is flashing. The time at which data
 is saved to a USB drive is also recorded according to the switcher internal clock. Set
the date and time if it is improperly set. (See Sec. 16-5. “Setting Date and Time.”)

23-3. Loading Data (from USB Drive to Switcher)

characters and excess characters are truncated on the right.)
- Hyphen
yyyy Serial numbers starting from 0
zzz File extension (bmp, jpg, tga or png)

23-3-5. Adding Audio to Sequential Image Files

Loading an audio with sequential image files allows you to add the audio data to the created
clip. The following procedure shows how to upload an audio file and multiplex it to a clip. WAV
files (Windows standard audio files) can be used as audio sources.
 Loading an audio file
(1) Insert the USB drive, in which sequential image files and an audio file are stored, into the
USB port. Follow Step (1) to (5) in the previous chapter to create a clip from the
sequential files.
(2) Open the [FILE > LOAD] menu.
(3) Select CLIP.
(4) Set the audio delay under AUDIO OFFSET. To add the audio from the beginning of the
clip, leave the value at zero.
(5) Tap USB E, select and load a WAV file.
(6) Select and load a clip that should have been created as a clip.

133
 IMPORTANT
Load an audio file first, then a create clip. Otherwise the audio is not inserted to the clip.
Once the audio is multiplexed to the clip, the audio file is removed.

Audio-included clips can be loaded to STILL1-6 in the same manner as those for normal clips
and played back with audio in down-stream devices.

 Audio Files
Format WAV or WAVE（RIFF waveform Audio Format）
Filenames are allowed only alphanumeric characters.
Sampling frequency 48kHz, 20/24-bit
Upload Target V-RAM

 If the duration of audio is longer than that of video, the gap in between is filled with black
video.
 Clips are backed up to the internal hard disk drive with audio and loaded whenever the
switcher is restarted. The audio inserting position, however, is reset to zero (not stored).
 Clips cannot be stored with audio as files.
