Routing The Inputs; The Setup Screen - Videonics MX-1 Instruction Manual

VIDEONICS DIGITAL VIDEO MIXER
automatic connections are locked in and can only be changed manually,
using the Setup screen.
Audio connections are not changed by the automatic connection feature.

Routing the Inputs

If the automatic connections are not satisfactory, you can change the input
routing using the Setup screen. The most common reasons for doing this are:
• You want to make one video signal appear on two sources, so you can do
transitions from a signal to a modified version of the signal (example:
dissolve from A to posterized A).
• You want to split the IN 3 audio input. (IN 3 is special: you can make one
of the IN 3 audio jacks feed C and the other feed D, both in mono.)
• You are connecting to both the composite and S-video jacks of one input
but want to use the composite (normally, the S-input is used if something
is connected to it).

The Setup Screen

Press the SETUP button to see the Setup screen:
The screen shows sources A, B, C, and D. Beneath the sources is a repre-
sentation of the Mixer's back panel. The on-screen diagram is oriented as it
would appear from the front of the unit. (This makes it easy to identify how
your cables are connected without turning the unit around.)
One of the sources (A, B, C, or D) is highlighted in green. The diagram
shows which inputs feed the highlighted source. For example, in the illustra-
tion above, source A is highlighted. The highlighted features in the diagram
tell you IN 1's S-video input is connected to source A and the stereo audio
jacks (L and R) for IN 1 are also connected to A.
To make changes:
• Use the ABCD buttons at the bottom of the Mixer's panel (not the CUT
buttons) to choose the source you want to change. The highlight will
change to indicate which source is being set up and the connection draw-
ing will show the current settings for that source.
