Keyboard Controls

Audio Input Source Selectors and Level Controls This section of the HS-2000 controls which audio input channel (CH1~CH4) will be sent to the Audio Bus and its associated Fader. This row of audio channel selection buttons has LEDs built in to show which input channel is active. Level control for each audio input source is via the rotary pots above each of the audio channel selection buttons. A+V: When this button is engaged or lit, the audio associated with a selected video input source automatically follows the video through any transition between the Main and Sub Sources. When the A+V button is inactive, the audio sources must be switched manually. For more information, see A+V (Page 19). Audio LED Meters These meters play a vital part in correctly setting the audio levels to avoid clipping or other distortion. The LED style Audio meters, show the signal strength at the Audio Output. The signal they measure is determined by the sources selected by the Audio Bus selectors and the levels set by the rotary pots and faders. Audio Monitor Button Use the Headphone section to monitor any of the sources (CH1, CH 2, CH3, CH4) or Master output. Repeated presses of the Audio Monitor button will cycle through the monitoring choices. In many cases, headphones may be a more useful and accurate choice than speakers for audio monitoring. System Configuration Menu Press the Menu button in the HS-2000 function section to enter the System Configuration Menu. Press the up, down, left, and right arrow buttons to navigate the menu options and to change values. Use the ENT button to save and confirm any setting that has been amended.

Logo Setting Press the Logo1, Logo2 or Clock buttons to display the selected function on the PVW and PGM screens. See Storing New Logos (Page 20) Logo1 and Logo2 or Logo1 and the Clock can both be selected at the same time. Logo2 and the Clock cannot be selected/displayed at the same time.
PIP / KEY LUMA PVW and LUMA PGM A Luma key can be performed between 2 inputs and the result sent to the PVW (Preview) and PGM (Program) display channels. See Setting up a LUMA Key (Page 21) SET If you want to enable the PIP function, you must first press the SET key, then press the PIP PVW key and then select the Sub Source button for the PIP window. The size and position of the window can be set within the System Configuration Menu. See PIP SETTING (Page 16) PIP PVW Allows the user to see what the PIP window will look like and make any adjustments before the PIP window is taken to the PGM output. Pressing the PIP PVW button toggles the PIP window on and off using a simple dissolve. PIP PGM Once the PIP window is ready to be taken to air the PIP PGM button will allow a simple dissolve in and out over the top of the current program output. Transition Speed Five buttons used to choose different speeds for a transition effect when using the TAKE button to switch between PVW and PGM sources.
Transition Effects There are 10 Transition Effects keys. Six of these keys relate to the available types of WIPE effect. INV (Invert) changes the direction of the chosen WIPE. SFT changes the softness of the WIPE edge. FRZ freezes the current PGM image until toggled off or CUT away. MIX is a dissolve effect between the PVW and PGM sources. For more information, see Transition Effects (Page 14).
CUT Forces an immediate switch between the selected main and sub sources. The selected sub source becomes the main program output with no transition effect applied. TAKE Starts an automated switch between the main and sub sources. The selected sub source becomes the main program output with the selected Transition Effect applied at the selected Effect Speed.
The T-Bar is used to carry out a manual transition such as a wipe, fade, mix or key. When it has travelled as far as it can go the transition is complete. How to calibrate the T-bar: 1. Turn off the HS-2000 power, and push the T-Bar up as far as it can go to its Top or AIR position then move the T-Bar back down by 2mm. 2. Press and hold in the SET and SUB SOURCE 1 buttons at the same time. 3. Have a colleague turn on the HS-2000 power. When the SET button and SUB SOURCE 1 buttons are illuminated yellow release both buttons. 4. Push down the T-Bar as far as it can go to its bottom or PVW position and then move the T-Bar back up by 2mm. Now press the CUT button. 5. Again push the T-Bar up as far as it can go to its Top or AIR position. Now press the TAKE button. 6. Press SET button again to end the calibration process. WARNING: If you do not follow the T-Bar calibrating steps correctly the T-Bar may work incorrectly Main Source Used to select which of the source input channels or backgrounds that are sent to the Main video PROGRAM output. Sub Source Used to select which of the source input channels or backgrounds will be transitioned to or used as a sub source in an effect such as PIP. Audio mixer These CH1~CH4 Audio Level Faders are for controlling the CH1~CH4 audio mix. These faders correspond to the Audio Source selector buttons and control the relative volume of each input in the master output as well as the master output level. They are called faders because they are used to decrease (rather than increase) the signal levels to create a balanced and pleasing mix. When the CH1~CH4 Audio Level Faders are set at -6dB, or Unity, they pass the audio signal through at the same level as when it entered the bus. This is why the level setting at the Input Bus is so important. MASTER This Slider is for controlling the audio level for the Mixed audio output. Headphone Accepts a stereo mini jack plug for stereo headphones. Used with the Audio Monitor Button. The headphone volume is adjusted by the rotating Head phone volume control. Headphone Volume Control Controls Headphone volume level. Use the Headphone section to monitor any of the sources ( CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4 or Master ) output.

Audio Inputs and Levels

Analogue audio comes into the HS-2000 through the XLR connectors on the rear panel (as above diagram). The HS-2000 supports four XLR Balanced Audio Input channels. NOTE: Audio cannot be de-embedded by the HS-2000 from a HD-SDI input and Audio will not be embedded into the HS-2000s HD-SDI PGM outputs. There are two kinds of switches next to each XLR input under AUDIO IN: The LINE/MIC switch is used to set the audio as LINE in or MIC in. When LINE in is selected please also set the 48V ON/OFF switch to OFF in order to prevent burn-out damage to the audio circuit/Mic*. The 48V ON/OFF switch is for Phantom power. If you want to use MIC in, please set the LINE/MIC switch first, and then if using a Condenser microphone* turn ON the 48V ON/OFF switch. Or if you wish to use a Dynamic microphone please turn OFF the 48V ON/OFF switch. *NOTE: Always double check the manual for the microphone being used to see what advice it gives regarding power as some MICs have internal batteries too.

Audio Outputs

There are two XLR audio output channels A and B. These can act as a stereo pair or as a dual mono output depending on the stereo mono switch setting. See page 13 also.

A+V Button

The Audio Input Channel Selectors and Level pots are the first stage in the audio signal path. Each channel carries the audio associated with a video input channel. When the A+V button is active, the audio follows the video through a transition. This means that when this LED is lit, only one channel of the Audio input section (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4) can be active at a time. When the transition is a CUT, the audio will switch over abruptly at the same time. Try this: With the A+V button engaged or lit, select Channel 2 on the Main Source bus (of course, you must have a valid video and audio source connected). Notice that CH2 is lit in the Audio Source section. Now, select channel 1 on the Sub Source bus. Work the T-Bar to manually perform a transition from CH2 to CH1 and listen for the Audio Input Source channel changing from CH2 to CH1 also. When the A+V button is not engaged or off, you can manually select which of the 4 Audio input channels will be applied to the audio out connections. In fact, you have to select one or more of these channels, or there will be no audio present at the audio out connections. The A+V button should be inactive while doing level settings at the beginning of a session so that you can select an input and adjust the initial audio level correctly. 19
HS-2000 Configuration Utility
This Configuration Utility software allows a PC (running Windows XP Professional) to make changes to the mixer*. A cable needs to be connected between the RS-232 port on the rear of the HS-2000 and the PC COM1 Serial port. This software Utility is free and can be downloaded from the following web page http://www.datavideo.info/en/Mixer%20-%20Switchers/SE-2000 Once downloaded, run the install wizard and follow the on-screen prompts. The software installation will leave an Icon on the PC desktop as above. With the HS-2000 connected to the PC via an RS-232 cable, the initial utility screen will be displayed as above, when the program is launched.

Storing New Logos

The Configuration Utility software allows a Windows XP Professional PC to make changes to the Logos stored within the 14 memory slots of the HS-2000 mixer. This is done from the Logos tab shown below.
New Logos to LOAD and WRITE into these memory slots MUST be 256 x 192 pixels. Your new Logo needs to be created in a graphics software package first as a TGA 32bit or BMP 24bit file with a clear Alpha Channel background. The graphics software to create your Logo image is not supplied by Datavideo.

Start with good cabling. BNC coax cables and connectors are not all made to the same standard. From the thickness and grade of the centre conductor to the type of dielectric, all these factors contribute to impedance, attenuation and Return Loss (RL). Serial Digital Video coax like Belden 1694A or Canare L5CFB are good examples of broadcast quality SDI cable. A 75 Ohm () impedance must be maintained throughout the HS-2000 SDI signal or cable path, including BNC connectors etc. Return Loss is the portion of the transmitted SDI signal that is not admitted to the receiver (mixer) and is then reflected back along the cable toward the transmitter (DAC-9). Reflections in the transmission path will cause attenuation as well as distortion of the SDI signal received. The signal is attenuated because part of it is reflected back and does not make it to the receiver (HS-2000 for example); it is also distorted because the reflected signal mixes with the original signal causing it to distort as well as adding to the noise floor. Care must also be taken with cable length, as it will affect the error rate in the SDI signal. Cable lengths beyond acceptable limits will see error rates reach a tipping point and this will bring about a total loss of picture also known as the Cliff Effect. Always check with your supplier for cabling advice on the maximum distance for a particular signal and data rate, in this case an SDI signal that complies with the SMPTE 292M standard at 1.5 Gbps. Datavideo Taiwan have determined that single BNC SDI cable (5CFB) runs of up to 100m should be possible with this unit before the signal would need to be re-clocked or repeated. Here is a basic list of other things to avoid Do not step on or rest equipment on the cables. Do not roll dollies or trolleys over the cables. Do not put kinks or sharp bends in the cables. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable. The general rule for an acceptable bend radius is 10 times the diameter of the cable. Cable pulls should be done carefully do not jerk or stretch the cable(s). Do not exceed the cables maximum pulling tension. (call the cable supplier / manufacturer for this information.) Do not pull cable ties too tight on cable looms. If you cannot move any cable inside a loom tie, the tie is too tight. Put an extra piece of cable in when tightening loom ties - then remove it afterwards to create the space. Do not put cable management fixings at standard distances apart. This can lead to deformity at a given wavelength, which can increase RL. Place your loom cable ties at random distances for the same reason.
How to update HS-2000 mixer firmware
From time to time Datavideo may release new firmware to either add new features or to fix reported bugs in the current mixer firmware. Customers can update the mixer firmware themselves if they wish or they can contact their local dealer or reseller for assistance should they prefer this method. This page describes the firmware update process, two programs will be used and it should take approximately 40 minutes total time to complete. Once started the update process should not be interrupted in any way as this could result in a nonresponsive mixer. As well as a working mixer you will need: The latest Flash Update for the mixer. This can be obtained from your local Datavideo office. The latest SetUp program for the mixer. See Page 20. A 9 pin Sub D male to female RS-232 cable. Pin 1 connects to pin 1, pin 2 connects to pin 2, etc. A Windows XP Professional 32bit PC with a 9pin Sub D COM1 port.
