2.3. POWER REQUIREMENTS The HD9626DSK unit has a universal power supply that operates on either 115 Volts or 230 Volts at 50 Hz or 60 Hz AC. The power supply auto switches between the voltages. Power should be applied by connecting a 3-wire grounding type power supply cord to the power entry module on the rear panel.
CONNECTING THE VIDEO 2.5.1. High Definition Video Inputs The HD9626DSK supports high definition digital video in the formats shown in Table 2-6. The video standard must be set manually to match the incoming video type using the Video Standard menu item on the General menu (see section 3.5.1).
100Base-TX systems, category 5 UTP cable is required. The cable must be “straight through” with a RJ-45 connector at each end. Make the network connection by plugging one end of the cable into the RJ-45 receptacle of the HD9626DSK and the other end into a port of the supporting network hub.
HD9626DSK is sending or receiving data. This LED will be ON when the HD9626DSK has established a good link to its supporting hub. The ON LED is a good indication that the segment is wired correctly.
The 8 GPIs (A through H) can be used to activate various functions such as logo control, voiceover, transition, etc. If multiple inputs are active both commands are ignored until a single input is recognized. The GPI to logo allocation is programmable from the front panel of the HD9626DSK. (See section 3.9.5). Page 2-8 INSTALLATION Revision 1.4...

Select None to disable the use of the COM C port. Automation Control Panel Select AUTOMATION when you want to control the keyer using the Evertz Console automation protocol. This is the setting you should use when you are M2100_AUTO controlling the keyer from the Evertz MetaCast software.
3.6. MATTE CONFIGURATION ITEMS The HD9626DSK Downstream Keyer has a black overlay matte that blacks out video and produces a letterbox effect on the output video. The MATTE Setup menu is used to configure the matte that can be applied over the program video. Table 3-2 shows the items available in the MATTE Setup menu.
This menu item is used to set the aspect ratio of the matte. Aspect There are three pre-defined aspect ratios available. When you select one Aspect: 1.77 of these aspect ratios the HD9626DSK will automatically set the Matte Top Aspect: 1.85 and Matte Bottom menu items. Aspect: 2.35 In addition you can set a user-defined aspect ratio by manually changing the Matte Top and Matte Bottom menu items.
3.7. DOWNSTREAM KEYER CONFIGURATION ITEMS The HD9626DSK Keyers allow you to key objects into the output video. The DSK Setup menu is used to configure the downstream keyer functions – key type, gain, and thresholds. Table 3-3 shows the items available in the DSK Setup menu. Sections 3.7.1 to 3.7.4 provide detailed information about each of the sub-menus.
3.8. TRANSITION CONFIGURATION ITEMS The HD9626DSK Keyer can transition between the video sources using a variety of standard transition types. The TRANSITION Setup menu is used to configure the transition type, rate and swap mode. Table 3-4 shows the items available in the TRANSITION Setup menu. Sections 3.8.1 to 3.8.4 provide detailed information about each of the sub-menus.
HD9626DSK Instruction Manual 3.8.1. Setting the Transition Type TRANSITION This menu item is used to select the type of transition you would like applied when the TRANSITION button is pressed. Transition effects only appear on Transition Type the program output. Transitions on the Preview Output are always a Cut fade type performed at the end of the transition to program.
3.9. PRESET CONFIGURATION ITEMS The HD9626DSK keyer has 10 user presets that can store pre-defined configurations for such things as Matte settings, Transition settings and DSK settings. Therefore if you would like to store a preset that has a 2.35 matte applied, you must first configure the Matte Aspect and Matte Enable menu items, then store the preset at one of the user preset addresses.

3.9.5. Configuring the GPI Inputs The HD9626DSK Downstream Keyer is fitted with 8 general-purpose inputs (GPIs) that can be configured to trigger 2 different actions - On Closure and On Open. For example, the On Closure event can be used to load a preset and perform a transition to the program bus. The On Open event for the same GPI can be used to load a different user preset and perform a transition to the program bus.
Select Ye (yes) to perform a transition when the GPI is closed. 3.9.6. Configuring the GPO Outputs The HD9626DSK Downstream Keyer is fitted with 4 contact closure general purpose outputs (GPOs) that can be used as tallies for various functions.
