Video Out and Karaoke

The optional video card allows you to use a TV or a monitor to display messages, words set in syllables of a Midi file or to duplicate the display
of the SD1.
The options for the video output are grouped in the Song Play menu that is enabled using the dedicated push button.
When working in Song Play access the Video page by pressing the F7 Video function push button from the initial page of the Song Play menu
to set all the parameters that are described below.
Press F5 Escape to return to the Song Play page.

WRITING A MESSAGE TO BE SENT TO THE AUDIO OUTPUT

A box (Video Message) appears in the middle of the display where a message to be displayed on the video output can be entered, which will
appear in the lowest line of the TV screen or the monitor. This possibility is rather handy when playing live to communicate with the audience
or to introduce yourself or to write dedications.
To write the words of the message, no longer than 32 characters, use the keyboard keys and the CURSOR +/- push buttons.
Once the message has been entered, confirm using F10 Execute to transfer it to the video output.
Press F9 Clear to cancel the whole message.
The message will remain on the video whatever the operational status.

CHANGING THE BACKGROUND AND TEXT COLOUR

The SD1 can select two different colours for the background and for the words: The combinations are Blue/White or White/Black.
To change the colour of the background use F1 Background, by pressing the function push button repeatedly.
To change the colour of the words use F2 Foreground, by pressing the function push button repeatedly.
The two settings are mutually interchangeable.
The settings of these parameters depend also on the F6 Mirror function.
MODIFYING THE WORD CHARACTERS
All the characters can be changed from capital letters to small letters (on display only) by pressing the F3 Upper Chase function push button
with Song Play stopped.
MODIFYING THE SCREEN LAY-OUT
The F4 Lyric Mode function is used to establish how the space on the video screen will be used. The settings are called up by pressing the rel-
ative function push button repeatedly with Song Play stopped, namely:
Full Screen: this uses the full screen to display the words of the Midi file.
1/2 Screen: the directory of the Midi files is displayed in the bottom half of the screen and the words of the Midi file in the top half.
If you choose the Full Screen mode, again using F4 Lyric Mode, the display mode of the text syllables can be defined for which there are two
options:
Underline: this underlines the syllables in time with the lead
Mark: an indicator appears to the left of the line to be sung
Another function used to control the screen performance is F6 Mirror that is used to reproduce, or otherwise, the conditions of the display of
