Menu; Audio Inputs, Levels, And Meters (Faders, Bus Selectors,) - Datavideo se-500 Instruction Manual

Nothing will take the place of a calibrated, properly adjusted monitor, so that must always be your first step.
For more information on monitor calibration procedure, see
If you don't have any video test equipment, follow the suggested procedure to adjust all the video sources,
which is described at the end of
Settings made in this section are "remembered" by the SE-500 after you power down the unit. In other words,
these settings remain in effect until they are changed or the Reset button is pressed.

MENU

The MENU works when you press and hold the "BACKGROUND" (9.) button for 2
seconds or more, which is temporarily displayed at the Preview Output. The first
adjustment is the "Color Processor" as described above. Press the button again, and
you can select IRE, video output format, remote control protocol, and color bar output.
Use the up or down arrow keys to move to different categories, and then use ＋ or －
to change the setting.
You may select YUV and CV (Composite) for video output format, and use a breakout cable to get a
Component output signal.
If you use a MIDI keyboard in live concerts, you will be amazed what the SE-500 can do. Go to "Remote
Control", use ＋ or － to change the setting from RS-232 to MIDI. Press "BACKGROUND" again, select the
desired MIDI channel you wish to use. While you are setting the channel on the SE-500, please also set up
the channel on your MIDI device. After you finish setting, press the button again. Turn off the unit, and then
turn it back on. Now you can start to use the MIDI device to control the SE-500. For more detailed
information on MIDI control
Tech Note:
All the setting will be memorized except color bar output.

Audio Inputs, Levels, and Meters (Faders, bus selectors,)

Audio Input Level Calibration Procedure
The first step in setting up the audio for a session with your SE-500 consists of adjusting the levels on which
channel you will be using. Push the Master fader to Max, and set the other faders to 0. Then, listening to the
audio and watching the Audio Level Meters (see below), set the level with the fader so that the sound is
consistently at between +0 dB (green LED) and +8 dB (yellow LED) and just barely peaks occasionally to
+10 dB (red LED). The idea is to avoid any audible distortion (clipping), caused by making the signal level
too high at this stage.
