Preparations for Use of the New Function
(A/B Mode)

Additional Functions

The following functions have been added with the LVS-400 Version 2.0 A/B mode.
• "Composite Functions" (p. 7)
Allows you to switch between two composite screens while preserving the respective
images as they are.
• "Preview Function" (p. 13)
With a monitor screen connected to MONITOR OUT, this allows confirmation of the
synthesized effect in the display before the resulting composite image is output.

Differences Between Normal Mode and A/B Mode

The relationship between the main and insert images differs according to the mode
selected.
• Normal Mode
The relationship between the MAIN screen and the INSERT screen remains fixed.
Although the relationship between the MAIN and INSERT screens cannot be switched,
it simplifies settings and working with original source images and key images in PinP
(Picture-in-Picture) and composite video.
• A/B Mode
With certain settings, the correspondence between the MAIN screen and the INSERT
screen can be switched. Although this makes for more complex settings and operations
using the composite functions, it does give you free rein in selecting the images to use
for PinP and composite video. A/B mode is the appropriate mode to use in attaining
high-level image mixes.

Preparation for Use of A/B Mode

Affixing the Special A/B Mode Panel Sheet
Included with the LVS-400 Version 2.0 package is a special panel sheet to be used when
the unit is in A/B mode. Affix the sheet to the LVS-400 before using A/B mode.
1
Set the video fader at approximately center (between MAIN and INSERT).

For more information on the
use of Normal mode, refer to
the "LVS-400 Owner's
Manual."
To attach the sheet to the
panel, first peel off the
protective backing paper from
the sheet and then affix the
sheet to the panel.
