RS-232 port or the IR Port. To make IR control easy and painless, all IR codes are provided in a CCF format and are available on the FSR web site. These can be used in nearly any universal remote control or from any control system with IR output.
INSTALLATION The MAS-6100 mounts easily into a standard 19” rack. It should be placed in an area where the user can easily access the front panel controls. The units are designed to be rack mounted and are supplied with front rack- mount hardware.
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS POWER ON OFF Pressing the power button will power up the MAS-6100. The unit will run a brief diagnostic sequence and be operational in a few seconds. Pressing and holding the power button for two seconds and releasing will power down the unit.
The silk-screening lists the various time delay settings in milliseconds. The dip switch values are 85ms, 43ms, 21ms, and 11ms. When a switch is moved to the “UP” position the delay is added to the audio. MAS-6100 / MAS-6100A...
The ARROW LEFT button is used to move backward or decrement a value. Here are the nine root menu main group headings in the order they appear: • MODEL DISPLAY (FSR MAS-6100) • VIEW THE VERSION NUMBER •...
The output video will be locked to the selected source, the syncs will be locked (but with an additional internal video processing Lock & Mix delay) and the background for the output will be that of the Lock source (unless foreground and background are swapped). MAS-6100 / MAS-6100A...

Most resolutions are 4:3 ratio, thus the third number will be 1.333 (4 divided by 3). Another common aspect ratio is 16:9 (16 divided by 9 = 1.777). PAL and NTSC inputs are physically 4:3 on your video monitor, but their actual pixel/line ratios are different and so will not display as 1.333. MAS-6100 / MAS-6100A...

Adjustment is provided for a reduction down to 10% of the overall output size. In most cases, this feature is used for picture-in-picture (PIP) when a background image is being used (for units with overlay abilities). MAS-6100 / MAS-6100A...

When left as “Simple”, the H/V components of Zoom and Shrink are adjusted equally i.e. H is equal to V. MAS-6100 / MAS-6100A...
You will see that the Swap between foreground and background has no effect on the output resolution as this is always set by the Lock source. Note that this is different than simply swapping the input and lock sources as that would affect the fi nal output MAS-6100 / MAS-6100A...

(A/D conversion) may not sample a 50% brightness as being exactly 50% i.e. sometimes 49% and sometimes 51%. Increasing the softness value will broaden the range of keyed colors so that the keying of images varies depending on how close a color is to the keyed-out range. MAS-6100 / MAS-6100A...

The descriptions above behave identically on the remaining U Key Invert & V Key Invert component versions. However they are directed at the U/B-Y (blue) color component and V/R-Y (red) color components respectively. Adjustment and effects are the same as explained above for Y Key Invert (brightness/grey-scale). MAS-6100 / MAS-6100A...

These settings are often used to correct the position of a PC signal on an input, or to eliminate any undesired noise at the top or bottom of a PAL or NTSC video input. MAS-6100 / MAS-6100A...

The Input pixel phase adjustment allows you to change the position (from 0 to 31) where the pixels are sampled, relative to the horizontal sync signal. MAS-6100 / MAS-6100A...

fi elds are simply combined together. The most common artifact is a blurring at the point of maximum movement within an image. Your unit provides some tools to minimize the effects of de-interlacing of an image MAS-6100 / MAS-6100A...
RGB signals only. The rest of the Input menu items function with RGB, CV or YC type signals. In addition, there are four additional Menu items that are only used with CV or YC type signals and these are explained below: MAS-6100 / MAS-6100A...

Sync can be either negative polarity or positive polarity. To further complicate things, it is possible that you may want to make the Horizontal Sync polarity different from the Vertical Polarity. This control allows you to make that change. There are four possible selections: +H+V -H+V +H-V -H-V MAS-6100 / MAS-6100A...

MAS-6100 RS232 CONTROL SPECIFICATION This section outlines how to control a unit via RS232 using ASCII-based commands. It details how to send and receive serial data to perform many of the functions that a user has access to on the unit.
Carriage Returns Each packet that is sent to or received from the MAS-6100 is terminated with a carriage return. Carriage return has a value of 13 decimal, but is sent as a hex byte 0x0D. It will be represented in this document as <CR>.
<CR> FRONT PANEL BUTTON EXAMPLES If the user is using the serial commands to simulate the front panel of the MAS-6100, the following commands are provided. They have been tested. The commands are to be sent out in the following manner, with no spaces between the fi elds.
