Setting Up A Luma Key Overlay With Power Point - Datavideo HS-2000 Hand Carried Studio Instruction Manual

Setting up a Luma Key overlay with Power Point

The HS-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 HS-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 DVI-D PC display output to create a simple text overlay using the Luma Key function.
1. Connect a DVI-D cable between the HS-2000 and the spare DVI-D port on the PC's graphics card.
2. Turn on the HS-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. Select DVI on the sub source rail of the HS-2000 so it is shown in the PREVIEW window. Check the
Multi Preview Display on the HS-2000, can you see the PC output in the DVI VTR2 or PREVIEW
window?
5. If you cannot see the computer output extend the PC's desktop within Windows to monitor 2 as
below.
6. PC screen size for monitor 2 should match the HD resolution, for example 1920x1080 or 1280x720.
7. 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 HS-2000 DVI VTR2 window.
8. OK, so you should now have the Monitor 2 PC display running into input 5 on the HS-2000.
9. Open up Powerpoint on the PC and use Set Up Show so that the presentations play back on Monitor
2 (the HS-2000) and the presentator's output is sent to Monitor 1 (the PC's own monitor).
10. Ensure DVI is selected on the HS-2000 Sub Source rail and a video input is chosen on the Main
Source rail.
11. 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 HS-2000's
System Configuration menu whilst the LUMA PVW button is also ON. See LUMA SETTING on page
15 also.
12. 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.
