Setting Up A Luma Key Overlay With Powerpoint - Datavideo SE-2000 Instruction Manual

Setting up a Luma Key overlay with PowerPoint

The SE-2000 has 5 inputs. Input 5 is DVI only and this can be used to connect a DVI-D cable from a computer's
monitor/graphics card. The PC graphics card will need 2 connections 1 for the PC monitor and a spare DVI-D
connection to go to input 5 on the SE-2000. The PC will need to have Microsoft Office installed in order for
PowerPoint to be used. If all the settings are correct on the mixer and the PC then we can attempt to use this PC
display output to create a simple text overlay using the SE-2000's Luma Key function.
1. Connect a DVI-D cable between the SE-2000 and the spare DVI port on the PC's graphics card.
2. Turn on the SE-2000 and then the PC.
3. Create a PowerPoint presentation with White text on a Black background. You may want to create your
own Slide Master within PowerPoint. Use the PowerPoint Help function for advice on how to do this.
4. Check the Multi Preview Display on the SE-2000, can you see the PC output in the DVI VTR2 window? If
you cannot see the PC's output extend the PC's desktop within Windows to monitor 2 as below.
5. PC screen size for monitor 2 should match the HD resolution, for example 1920x1080 or 1280x720.
6. If DVI VTR2 is just a blue screen (blue desktop background only), then try using the PC mouse pointer to
drag a window or a desktop icon across and onto the SE-2000 DVI VTR2 window. It may help to also
select DVI on the sub source rail of the SE-2000 so it is in the larger PREVIEW window too.
7. OK, so you should now have the Monitor 2 PC display running into input 5 on the SE-2000.
8. Open up Powerpoint on the PC and use Set Up Show so that the presentations play back on Monitor 2
(the SE-2000) and the presentator's output is sent to Monitor 1 (the PC's own monitor).
9. Select DVI on the SE-2000 Sub Source rail and have another input chosen on the Main Source rail.
10. Now that you can see the presentation playing back in the PREVIEW window we can now attempt to key
out the Black parts of the Presentation using the LUMA SETTING option in the SE-2000's System
Configuration menu whilst the LUMA PVW button is also ON. See LUMA SETTING on page 14 also.
11. Once you have the right LUMA SETTING or overlay effect in the PREVIEW window you can then press
LUMA PGM key to toggle the overlay effect ON or OFF the main PROGRAM output.
