Chapter 6 Advanced Operation The HS-3200 is a High Definition Digital Video Switcher. As well as mixing video and audio sources, it has additional functions such as Picture In Picture (PIP), DSK, LUMA KEY, Chroma Key and Logos. Before attempting to use the HS-3200’s PIP, DSK LUMA KEY and LOGO functions it may help to first understand the order of the video layers at the HS-3200 Program (PGM) outputs.

(additional purchase) such as TC-200, CG-250, CG-350 and CG-500. If set up incorrectly these DSK layers can also stop the video layers behind them from being displayed properly. The HS-3200 has six dedicated keyers, Key1, Key2, Key3, Key4, DSK 1 and DSK 2. All six keyers can be active simultaneously.
Page 99 On the HS-3200 Control Panel / Keyboard there are eight KEYER keys. These are labelled Program and Preview. The upper KEYER keys relate to activating Picture-In- Picture images on the Program outputs. The lower KEYER keys relate to activating Picture-In-Picture images on the Multi- view or Preview outputs.

Page 124 Stream and Record Settings In the section, you will be introduced various setting options of stream and record functions. Stream Encoder Settings Bitrate Mode The bitrate mode sets the video bitrate mode for your video stream. The available modes are high, mid and low. Note: You can also switch between different bitrate modes by pressing the Bitrate button on the Record/Stream panel.
Page 125 Profile Profile sets the H.264 encoding profile for your stream. The available options are Baseline, Main, and High. Typically, High profile provides the best image quality and is suitable in most instances. However, depending on the decoder used when viewing the stream, such as with mobiles devices, a Main or Baseline profile may be required.
Page 126 GOP pattern with longer GOP length encodes video very efficiently. Shorter GOP lengths usually work better with video that has quick movements, but they do not compress the data rate as much. Depending on your applications, the NVS-31 offers the user 16 GOP sizes ranging from 1 to 180. Stream Settings Stream Type The NVS-31 offers the user six stream types.
Page 127 RTSP HTTP Port RTSP HTTP port is 8000 by default. Video Only Enable this option if you just want to stream the video without the audio. RTSP Username/Password The account and password are root by default. Stream Type – RTMP(S) RTMP URL Enter the RTMP URL obtained from any live streaming platform such as Ustream.
Page 128 TS IP The TS IP address is 239.100.100.101 by default. Video Only Enable this option if you just want to stream the video without the audio. Stream Type – SRT SRT Port The SRT port is 9001 by default. Play URL A stream URL will be generated after the Start button is clicked.
Page 129 Frame Rate Frame rate greatly impacts the style and viewing experience of a video. Different frame rates yield different viewing experiences, and choosing a frame rate often means choosing between things such as how realistic you want your video to look, or whether or not you plan to use techniques such as slow motion or motion blur effects.
Page 130 Audio Bitrate (bps) The NVS-31 offers the user the following audio bitrates at which you may want to record the audio. It is recommended to record at 128Kbps or higher. GOP pattern with longer GOP length encodes video very efficiently. Shorter GOP lengths usually work better with video that has quick movements, but they do not compress the data rate as much.
