You can use Mix or Wipe effects to transition between photos, and superimpose titles on a photo. * You can create titles using the P-1’s Title Maker function (p. 75), or create titles on your computer and load them via USB.
Photos of the performers, still images appropriate for the song, or titles you create can be projected on the screen. You can use the touch panel to switch the photos or titles. The P-1 also provides convenient functions for a concert performance, such as playing background music or narrations.
SYMPHONY CONCERT VIDEO INPUT SYMPHONY CONCERT By using the P-1 in conjunction with the V-1 four-channel video mixer, you can superimpose titles on scenes of the performance. • For more about connections with the V-1, refer to p. 91.
You can preview a photo before outputting it for the audience, or freely select a photo from a list of “thumbnails.” • For more about the P-1’s display screen and how to output a photo from the P-1, refer to p. 29.
Photos can be switched in synchronization with a performance on keyboard or V-Drums, in synchronization with MP3/SMF playback on the P-1 itself, or in synchronization with the input from an external audio device. • For more about switching photos in synchronization with MIDI or audio, refer to p. 49.
Panel Descriptions Top panel fig.p-front1 Display (touch panel) This displays various information according to the operation you’re performing. This is a touch panel; you can perform operations simply by lightly touching the panel with your finger. A light touch is sufficient when operating the touch panel. Pressing the touch panel forcefully or with a hard object will damage it.

Computer If you use a USB cable to connect your computer to the P-1, you’ll be able to save (back up) albums or individual photos or music from internal memory or a PC card to the hard disk of your computer.
Connecting the P-1 to your television The P-1 does not have a built-in amp or speakers. In order to hear the sound, you must connect the P- 1 to an audio playback system such as monitor speakers, a stereo set, or television. Alternatively, you can listen through headphones.
Page 27
When using speakers (connect to Audio input of speakers) headphones To connect the P-1 to your television, you’ll need audio cables and a video cable. If your television has an S-video jack, we recommend that you use the S-video connector to make connections, since this provides better image quality than the conventional (composite) video jack.
Turning the power off Turn off the power to your television or other connected equipment. Press the power switch located on the P-1’s rear panel to turn off the power. All buttons and indicators on the top panel will go out.
When you power-on the P-1, an album will be loaded, and after a short time a list of photos will appear in the P-1’s display. This screen is called Photo Play mode. When you select (touch) a photo in Photo Play mode, that photo will appear on the television screen.
Viewing the selected photo in the full screen fig.b-p-play When in Photo Play mode (i.e., when the [PHOTO PLAY] button is lit and the P-1’s display shows a list of photos), press the [PHOTO PLAY] button once again. The P-1 switches to a full-screen display.
