    Unlock the two locks and lift the lid. The hinges at the back of the HS-500 have been designed so that once the lid is at an angle of 45 - 90 degrees it can be slid to the left and removed.

  • Page 8: Connecting Video Sources And Power Cable

    Connecting Video Sources and Power Cable Firstly remove the cover by unscrewing the two thumb screws, this allows easier access to the rear of the SE-500 With the cover removed you can see the rear panel of the SE-500 At the rear of the case there is a cable flap, unlock it so that it hinges down to allow access.
  • Page 9 Thread the power cable through the cable access flap and insert it into the PSU. Now connect your video and audio inputs and outputs from your cameras etc. For more details see the SE- 500 section of this manual. With everything connected switch the SE -500 on and then replace the cover.
  • Page 10 Note: The HS-500 connections use the V1 inputs on both monitors. Make sure that the source switches are both set to V1. Note: When packing away the HS-500 please ensure that the monitors are folded flat before replacing the lid on the transit case.

Background: When Background is selected in either the Main or Sub Video Source (13, 14.), and the button is pressed (and the LED is lit except with black color background), repeated presses of the color button cycle through the 8 possible solid backgrounds. For more information, see Background, page 29.
  • Page 14 16. Transition selectors: These twelve selection buttons determine the transition type and allow for the selection of certain effects that are performed on the selected Main Video Input channel. For more information, see Using Transitions, page 24 and Using Effects, page 27. Tech note : Transcoding is the act of changing video from one format to another, for example, from composite video to S-video.

  • Page 18: Selecting Video Input Formats And Adjusting Audio Levels

    Selecting video input formats and adjusting audio levels (Numbers refer to the Front Panel illustration above)*. Verify that there is a valid source at each input you’ve connected by using the Main Source Select buttons (13.) to select a channel and view the output on the main monitor. For each input channel (1, 2, 3, 4): connect either a Composite or S-Video source to each channel.

  • Page 19: Dissolving Between Sources

    Dissolving between sources Select the Main Video Source (13.) by pressing the appropriate channel button. The LED for the channel you have selected should be lit and you should see that source on the program monitor. Select the Sub Video Source (14.) you want to dissolve to. The default transition is fade (The LED should be lit when you turn on the switcher.
  • Page 20 PIP effect (7.), which stands for Picture in Picture. As you might guess, this effect requires a Main and Sub Video Source. Assuming you have valid inputs on Channel 1 and 2, select Channel 1 as the Main Source and Channel 2 as the Sub Source. When you engage the effect by pressing the PIP button (and verifying that the LED on the button is lit), on the program monitor you will have Channel 1 as the Main Source and Channel 2 as a smaller window inset.

  • Page 21: Controls And Operations

    Controls and Operations Video Source The first thing to do when using the SE-500 is to select the Main and Sub Video Sources. The source you select (by pressing one of the buttons; a bright red LED on the selected button lights for confirmation) on the Main Source bus is what is sent to the Video output.

  • Page 22: Color Processor

    Color Processor The Color Processor controls work when you press and hold the “Background” (9.) button for 2 seconds or more, which is temporarily displayed at the Preview Output. For more information, please see the “MENU” section. These controls are like picture controls on a video monitor or the proc amp (processing amplifier) controls on a time base corrector.

  • Page 23: Menu

    The most serious, accurate color correction is done with the aid of a waveform monitor/vector scope, a signal analysis instrument (actually a pair of instruments) common in video editing suites, which shows precisely the details of the video signal. With one of these instruments, you can see at a glance (once you know what you are looking for) the most intimate electronic details and irregularities of the video signal.

  • Page 24: Audio Inputs, Levels, And Meters

    Audio Inputs, Levels, and Meters (Faders, bus selectors,) Audio Input Level Calibration Procedure The first step in setting up the audio for a session with your SE-500 consists of adjusting the levels on which channel you will be using. Slide the Master fader to Max, and set the other faders to 0. Then, listening to the audio and watching the Audio Level Meters (see below), set the level with the fader so that the sound is consistently at between +0 dB (green LED) and +8 dB (yellow LED) and just barely peaks occasionally to +10 dB (red LED).

  • Page 25: Using Transitions

    Using Transitions The SE-500 can do 3 kinds of transitions: cut, fade, and wipe. The cut is a simple switch from one input source to another, and can be accomplished by selecting a source on the Main Source Bus, and then selecting a second one.

  • Page 28: Using Effects

    Using Effects The SE-500 is capable of producing a wide variety of digital effects. These falls into 2 categories: single channel and dual channel effects. Single channel effects are produced on the source selected in the Main Video Source bus and need no second video input.

  • Page 29: Effects: Quad

    Effects: Quad The Quad effect combines 4 input videos into 1 output. When this effect is activated, it shows 4 video sources on 1 single monitor. Each source takes one quarter of the entire screen. Press the button again, and it returns to the previous selected source in full screen.

    Border These controls are used in conjunction with the Picture in Picture Effect and Wipe transition only, and can only be activated when the Picture in Picture or Wipe control is active. 8 Colors are available for the wipe border: black, blue, magenta, red, green, cyan, yellow and white. See “Background Color”...

  • Page 31: Four Camera Shoot: Live Stage Performance/Sporting Event

    The four cameras are feeding analogue signals to the SE 500, via Composite or S-Video. It would be possible to use DV cameras by adding a Datavideo DAC 6 to each of the channels that you want to run DV.

  • Page 32: Live Conference

    Live Conference In this second example we see a typical conference set up. There are two cameras to handle the speaker and the overview, with audience reaction or other action on the stage. Both cameras are analogue, but by adding a DAC 6 to any of the channels it would be possible to use a DV camera.
