5. Set the IDLE option to either HOLD or OVERVIEW. The Hold setting will keep the last active output on, while
the Overview setting will switch to the overview output when no logic inputs are active.
6. Set the SIMULTANEOUS INPUT option to ROTATE, MULTIPLE, or OVERVIEW. The Rotate setting will rotate
through all active outputs at a rate determined by the Rotate Time parameter. The Multiple setting will activate
the first two active logic inputs. This option accommodates video switchers that have split screen capability.
The Overview setting switches to the overview output.
7. Set the ROTATE TIME parameter to a value between 0.1 and 10 seconds. This parameter determines the
amount of time each active output is on when multiple logic inputs are active and the Simultaneous Input option
is set to Rotate. Note that the Rotate Time parameter also determines the amount of time each active output is
on in the Scan Mode.
8. Set the OVERVIEW OUTPUT. Any one of the eight outputs may be assigned as the Overview Output.
9. Set the OUTPUT MODE to either PULSE or CONTINUOUS. The Output Mode determines what type of signal
the logic output terminals will present to the video switcher. The Pulse mode outputs a 1 millisecond pulse
every 100 milliseconds that an output is active. The Continuous mode simply maintains the state of the logic
output as long as the logic input is active.
10. Set the OVERRIDE OUTPUTS. Any output(s) may be assigned as Override Outputs. When an Override
Output is active, no other outputs are allowed to become active until the Override Output is no longer active.
11. Either the OUTPUT SCAN MODE or the MANUAL MODE may be selected at any time. Output Scan Mode
simply activates each output consecutively, regardless of the activity on the logic inputs. The amount of time
each output is active is equal to the setting of the Rotate parameter. Manual Mode allows each output (or any
combination of outputs) to be activated or deactivated manually, via the front panel controls.
The SAVE button
is inactive in both the Output Scan Mode and the Manual Mode.
12. Set AUTO SYNC to either ON or OFF. This setting relies on the existance of a sync signal at the 75 Ohm
Sync Input jack. When set to On, Auto Sync will cause the VS1 to synchronize the output switching signals to
the vertical retrace interval of the external sync signal. This will provide smooth transitions from one camera to
another without an annoying "roll" during the switch.
