1.4 Connecting the Power Supply

Connect the DC output plug of the supplied AC adapter to the DC IN 12V connector on the rear of the switcher and then connect the AC adapter to a power supply.

To start, turn ON the power switch.

To shut off the machine, simply turn OFF the power switch.

Chapter 2 Preparation

In this chapter, we will describe various essential devices to be connected to the switcher in order to complete the system setup. If you possess the skills for setting up the production system, feel free to skip this chapter and proceed to Chapter 5: Basic Operation.

2.1 Connecting Devices

Connecting the Video and Audio Input Devices

Connect cameras, computers and other video input devices to the video input connectors on the rear of the unit and connect an audio mixer to audio input connectors.

Computer for text input
Computer for remote control of the switcher

When linking via tally connection

Connect the switcher's tally connector to the tally connector on a commercially available tally box.

Connecting the Video and Audio Output Devices

Connect projectors, large displays and other video output devices to the video output connectors on the rear of the switcher.

Connecting to a Network

Use the Ethernet Port to connect the switcher to the PC with the Image Import/Export Software installed.

For details on the Switcher Image Import/Export Software, see Chapter 3.

2.2 Multi View

The HS-3200 Multi view output can be supplied from the HDMI or SDI outputs, see Chapter 4 (4.7) for configuring the outputs. The Multi view shows monitoring images for Preview (PVW), Program (PGM) and Inputs 1\~12. The Multi view can also show audio level bars overlaid on the Program image. This confirms the analogue XLR audio input is being received and embedded to the selected Program output(s).

HS-3200 Multi-view is supplied from the HDMI connection(s) on the rear panel and available across multiple HDMI monitors (not supplied). Since a variety of multi-image layouts is available, these HDMI outputs can be used to monitor video and audio in a number of different configurations. The layout of the multi view can also be changed. The sources can be swapped around using the cross point section of the Inputs menu. For each setup, embedded audio level indication is available on the Preview and Program windows.

See Multiviewer in Section 4.7 for nine different multi-view layouts available on the HS-3200.

Note: A Red tally indication box will be shown around the sources selected for Program OUT and these selected sources should be displayed at the switcher's selected Program output(s). A Green tally indication box is shown around the sources selected for Preview. These are the next image sources to be mixed to, wiped in or cut to the Program OUT depending on the user's preference.

Chapter 3 Network and Software Setup for Switcher

The Ethernet port on the back panel of the HS-3200 allows the user to import still images, clips for stinger transition, still logos, animated logos or user memories using the Switcher Image Import/Export software. This chapter discusses direct connection between the HS-3200 and your Windows computer as well as the remote setup in detail. Please download the Switcher Image Import/Export software to your PC or laptop from the product page (https://www.datavideo.com/tw/product/HS-3200) before using this feature.

Section 3.1 discusses how you can establish direct connection between the HS-3200 and a Windows computer. In Section 3.2, we will show you how to access the HS-3200 remotely on your PC or laptop with the Switcher Image Import/Export software.

3.1 Static IP Configuration

When new from the factory the HS-3200 will initially have a static IP address of 192.168.100.101. The unit can be directly connected to a Windows-based computer using an RJ-45 ethernet cable. The following set up should allow you to initially configure the unit's static IP settings.

System requirements and setup are provided as follows:

• An RJ-45 Ethernet cable.
• Windows 7/8/10 laptop or PC.
- The Datavideo Switcher Image Import/Export software.

Switcherlm agelmEx_v 0.0.3

Instructions

1. First physically connect the HS-3200 to a Windows computer using an RJ-45 Ethernet cable.
2. Turn on the Windows computer and set it to static IP setup within the Windows Network and Sharing Centre. In our example, the computer is given the following IP settings so that the computer matches the same IP range as the switcher.

1. Now open the Switcher Image Import/Export software to establish connection with the switcher.

Tip: You can also modify the switcher's IP address on the OSD menu such that it matches the network IP range or the IP assigned to your PC. See the Network Section for details. This is also the place where you will be able to check or reset your device IP address.

Note: After changing your network settings, always reboot your switcher for the new settings to become effective.

3.2 DHCP Mode

The computer software can also access the HS-3200 over an existing TCP/IP LAN type network. In order to initially set up the HS-3200, you may need the assistance of your local I.T. specialist to help with the network settings. To help guide you, we have included a quick network setup guide as well as a simplified network setup example below; further advice may be available through your dealer locally or your Datavideo regional office.

To create this simple dedicated HS-3200 IP network you will need:

• An IP router which can assign/give IP addresses.
• Two RJ-45 patch leads.
  • Windows 7/8/10 laptop or PC.
• The IP router Administrator login and password.
  • The Datavideo Switcher Image Import/Export software.

SwitcherIm agelmEx_v 0.0.3

Instructions

1. First connect the router to the HS-3200 and the Windows computer using two RJ-45 patch leads.
2. Turn on the Windows computer and set it to DHCP setup within the Windows Network and Sharing Centre.

1. Press the MENU button on the HS-3200 control panel to open the OSD menu on the connected Multiview monitor. Open the OSD menu → Setup → Network and then change the Addr Mode to DHCP from the default Static IP. Move to the SAVE option and press the ENTER button to save new settings.
2. Reboot the HS-3200 and after the machine is rebooted, open the Network sub menu by following the instructions outlined in the previous step. The IP Addr option should show an IP address assigned randomly by the router thus having the same IP range as the router. If you see an IP address of 0.0.0.0 in the IP Addr field, it is likely that the router requires longer time to assign an IP address to the connected devices. Close the Network sub menu and reopen after 30-60 seconds, you should be able to see the newly assigned IP address. If problems still exist, contact any IT specialists for assistance.

3.3 Open Switcher Image Import/Export Software

After configuring your connection mode, download and unzip the Switcher Image Import/Export software then in the unzipped folder, double click the software icon to open the program.

The Switcher Image Import/Export software has a built-in IP finder, which is designed for PC with multiple Ethernet cards or DHCP network environment. Upon launch of the Switcher Image Import/Export software, you will be prompted to select one Ethernet Interface Card. Please note that the IP finder can only find devices connected to the same network as the PC.

Once selected, click OK to start the scanning process.

Note: Please make sure the selected interface card is on the same network as the HS-3200 device.

Once the HS-3200 device is found, the software will connect with the switcher over the IP set up described in the previous section. If the connection is successfully established, on the software user interface as shown in the diagram below, the Connect Status will show "Connected" (will display Not Connected if disconnected).

4.1 Start

The Start menu allows the user to set the transition time, the transition type as well as various wipe effects. The menu options are shown below.

Advanced mode

Start	Transition	M/E	15	DSK	15	FTB	60
	Type	MIX
	Wipe Effects	Wipe	1	Soft	0%	Width	1%
	Border	Luma	100%	Sat	80%	Hue	0
	Position	X	0%	Y	0%

	Matte	Luma 100%	Sat 80%	Hue 0

Basic mode

Start	Transition	M/E	15	DSK	15	FTB	60
	Wipe Effects	Wipe	1	Soft	0%	Width	1%

Transition

The Transition option allows the user to set the transition duration, in frames, for switching the PGM view when using the AUTO, DSK and FTB buttons.

For example, if the M/E is set to a value of 50, then the transition will take effect over a period of 50 frames or roughly 2 seconds. When the AUTO button is pressed, the transition will take the current M/E value defined by the user setting.

Type

The HS-3200 provides three major types of transition effect, which are DVE (3D), MIX, WIPE (2D) and Clip. Please note in addition to selecting the transition effect on the OSD menu, you can also press MIX button, WIPE/DVE button or CLIP button to enable the respective transition effects.

- If DVE is selected, select the corresponding 3D WIPE effect by pressing the DVE buttons on the control panel. These DVE buttons are:

DVE 1: Wipe from left to right

DVE 2: Wipe from top to bottom

DVE 3: Wipe from right to left

• For MIX effect, set the transition time in "Start → Transition → M/E."
• For WIPE effect, set the relevant WIPE settings in "Start WIPE Effects."
• For Clip, also known as the Stinger Effect, please first load the clip in "Files → Clip."

Wipe Effects

In “WIPE Effects,” the user is allowed to select the Wipe style and configure the wipe’s border softness and width.

• Wipe – Selection of a WIPE effect from a set of 32 WIPE transition effects.
• Soft – A low value results in a solid edge and a high value gives a soft diffused edge.
• Width – A low value results in a thin edge and a high value gives a wide edge.

WIPE Border

In this sub-option, the user will be allowed to fine-tune the border color by adjusting the Luma, Saturation and Hue values.

Note: Enable the WIPE border by setting the border width (Width) to a value greater than 0. The WIPE border is disabled when the border width is set to 0.

Position

Position allows the user to adjust the center position of certain wipes (e.g Circle & Elipse). X represents the horizontal position and Y is the vertical position.

Horizontal Position (X)

Positive value moves the wipe center to the right.

Negative value moves the wipe center to the left.

Zero value positions the wipe center at the screen center

Vertical Position (Y)

Positive value moves the wipe center up.

Negative value moves the wipe center down.

Zero value positions the wipe center at the screen center.

Matte

The user can open the Matte view by pressing the BLK/MATTE button of the Program and Preset button rows. The color of the Matte is configurable in this sub-option by adjusting Luma, Saturation and Hue.

For Hue value, Red is 0, Green is approximately 120 and Blue is approximately 240. For secondary colors, Yellow is approximately 60, Cyan is approximately 180 and Violet is approximately 300.

The Sat or Saturation value refers to the intensity of the color selected in Hue. As the saturation increases, the color appears to be more pure. As the saturation decreases, the color appears to be more washed-out or pale.

The Luma value relates to how bright or dark the selected color or hue is. The higher the Luma value, the brighter the color selected in Hue.

4.2 Keyer

Keyer of the HS-3200 provides the user with the capability of image keying. In this option menu, the user will be able to configure the eight keyers available on the HS-3200.

Advanced mode

Keyer	Keyer	Key 4		Normal
	Keyer Ctrl	Chroma		Self		Opac	100%
		Lift	0%	Gain	1.0	Invert	Off
	Key Source	Input 4		Fill	Black
	Mask	Left	0%	Right	0%
		Top	0%	Bot	0%

Keyer

The 8 keyer options are Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, Key 4, DSK 1, DSK 2, Flex Key 1 and Flex Key 2.

Key 1 – 4 are usually configured for luma and chroma keyers so select Self since only one source is enabled for such keyers.

The DSK keyer options are Linear and Luma. After the DSK keyer option is chosen, select Self if only one source is enabled for DSK keyer, which is the Key source. Select Split if two sources are enabled for the DSK keyer, which are Fill and Key sources. An example of a Linear DSK self setup could be using an HDMI input from a Windows laptop running Datavideo's CG-250 Character Generator software; see Character Generator for more information.

Once configured, the keyers can be activated by pressing the corresponding keyer buttons on the switcher's control panel except Flex Key 1 and Flex Key 2 which are enabled in the Flex Src sub menu. Please note that the Flex Keys, once configured and enabled, are displayed along with the Flex Screen. See Flex Src → Keyer for instructions on setting Flex Keys.

Select Fine if you require high keying quality and Normal for original keying quality.

Keyer Control

There are three keying modes available: Linear, Luma, and Chroma.

Please note that if you select Full, the keying effect will be disabled, keeping the original source image. For example, if you select Full → PIP, the keying effect will not be applied to the PIP image source.

Linear keying mode is usually chosen for sharp images as it is usually used in professional graphic design. For non-sharp images, please select Luma keying for basic text images. Chroma keying mode allows you to remove the green or blue backdrop from the image and is usually used in overlapping talent on a background image.

After the keying mode is chosen, select Self if only one source is required for the keyer, which is Key source. Select Split if two sources are required for the keyer, which are Key and Fill sources. You can also select P-in-P to apply the keying effect to the PIP window.

If Luma keying is selected, the key image is configured by adjusting lift, gain and opacity parameters.

Lift adjusts the dark/black areas of the key image. Reducing the value of Lift will make dark areas of the key image more transparent. The background image will be showing only through the transparent areas.

Gain adjusts the light/white areas of the key image. Increasing the value of Gain will make light areas of the key image more solid. The background image will be showing only through the transparent areas.

Opac adjusts the transparency of the overall foreground key image. Increasing the value of Opacity will make the overall key image less transparent.

Please note:

If Chroma is selected, adjust the Chroma Keyer parameters in the Chroma sub menu.

If P-in-P is selected, adjust its parameters in the P-in-P sub menu.

For example, if the user selects Key 1 → Chroma → P-in-P, you will then be able to apply the chroma key effect to the P-in-P window by configuring the respective chroma keyer parameters in the Chroma sub menu.

In the example below, after Keyer 1 is configured, by pressing the Key 1 PGM or PVW button on the switcher's control panel, the user will thus be able to enable the P-in-P window on the respective display monitor with the chroma key effect applied.

Key Tie

Key tie is a feature that allows you to overlap a foreground image on a background image. The key tie image can then be opened by pressing the input button to which the background image is assigned. Note that the keyer button will be disabled if key tie is enabled for the corresponding keyer. Outlined below are steps to set key tie with the chroma keyer.

1. First, in the Keyer menu, select the keyer and set it to Chroma. We used Key 1 in this example.

Keyer	Keyer	Key 1	Normal
	Keyer Ctrl	Chroma	Self
		Lift 0%		Gain 1.0		Opac 100%
	Key Source	Input 3		Fill	Input 12	Invert	Off
	Mask	Left 0%		Right 0%
		Top 0%		Bot 0%

1. Open the Chroma menu and select Key 1. Assign a foreground image to the Key Source (the foreground image is usually a person or an object against a green backdrop). In this case, it's Input 3.

Chroma	Keyer	Key 1		Normal
	Key Source	Input 3
	Key Tie	Off		Off
	CK Setup	CK Auto		Hue	110	Luma	80%
		K Range	160	K Fgnd	10%	K Bgnd	20%
		Hi-Light	0%	Lo-Light	0%	Bg-Supp	OFF
		Left	0%	Right	0%	Soft	0%
	Mask	Left	0%	Right	0%
		Top	0%	Bot	0%

1. Enable Key Tie and on the right, select a background image.

Chroma	Keyer	Key 1		Normal
	Key Source	Input 3
	Key Tie	On		Input 6
	CK Setup	CK Auto		Hue	110	Luma	80%
		K Range	160	K Fgnd	10%	K Bgnd	20%
		Hi-Light	0%	Lo-Light	0%	Bg-Supp	OFF
		Left	0%	Right	0%	Soft	0%
	Mask	Left	0%	Right	0%
		Top	0%	Bot	0%

1. After key tie is configured, to open the key tie image, simply press the input button of the background image selected at Step 3. In this example, input 6 is selected as the background so press button 6 on either the Preset or Program row to open the key tie image on the respective views.

Below are available sources of the background image:

• Still 1/2
• Input 1–12
• Off

Note: You will not be able to use the keyer button once key tie is enabled. Use the input button that is assigned to the background image to open the key tie image.

CK Setup

In this sub-option, the user will be able to find all the parameters needed to perform chromakeying of the green or blue backdrop.

CK Auto: This function automatically calculates the best Hue & Luma values for the current Keyer source. After applying the CK Auto effect, the result can be fine-tuned by adjusting the Luma and Hue values.

Hue: This parameter adjusts the color of the chroma key. A typical green screen value will be around 120. Blue screen value will be around 240.

Luma: This parameter adjusts the luma value of the chroma key

K Range (Key Range): Key Acceptance sets the range of hues or colors (0 – 360 degrees) that closely match the background color to be keyed. The user can start with a value of 120 degrees and this value can be fine-tuned up or down depending on the setup of the green or blue screen studio.

K Fgnd (Key Foreground): Key Foreground adjusts the performance of the chroma key in light or white areas. Apply more Key Foreground if the light areas are becoming too transparent.

K Bgnd (Key Background): Key Background adjusts the performance of the chroma key in dark or black areas. Apply more Key Background if the dark areas are becoming too transparent.

Hi-Light: Hi-light boosts the foreground key in high luminance area.

Lo-Light: Lo-light boosts the foreground key in low luminance area.

Bg-Supp: Background Suppress removes the Luma (Brightness) of the background from the final image. Bg-Supp turns ON/OFF background suppression.

Left: Trims the left edge of the key object.

Right: Trims the right edge of the key object.

Soft: Determines the distinctiveness of key edge

Mask

The Mask feature basically shrinks the camera image by removing the borders from the final image. This feature allows the user to configure the Mask in chroma, luma or linear mode.

• Left – Left sets the left edge of the keyer mask.
• Right – Right sets the right edge of the keyer mask.
• Top – Top sets the top edge of the keyer mask.
• Bottom – Bottom sets the bottom edge of the keyer mask.

4.4 P-In-P

The P-in-P option allows the user to adjust all related P-in-P parameters. Use this option to configure your PIP window if P-in-P is selected in the Keyer Ctrl sub-option of the Keyer option.

Note: The P-in-P image source can only be selected in Key Source option of the Keyer Sub Menu.

Advanced mode options

P-in-P	Keyer	Key 1			Fine	Normal
	Position	X -20%	Y	10%	Size	40%
	Border	Normal
		Luma 100%	Sat	80%	Hue	0
		Width 2%	Soft	0%	Opac	100%
	Shade Matte	Luma 100%	Sat	80%	Hue	60
		Shade Soft 2%	Shade Pos	50	Direction	35
	Crop	Left 0%	Right	0%	Size	0%
		Top 0%	Bot	0%	Soft	0%

Keyer

In this sub-option, the user will be allowed to select and configure the PIP window from the list below. Please note that Keyers 1-4 are active for PIP configuration only if P-in-P is selected in the Keyer sub-menu for the respective keyer.

• Key 1
• Key 2
• Key 3
• Key 4
- Flex PinP 1
- Flex PinP 2
- Flex PinP 3
- Flex PinP 4

Position

The user can adjust the P-in-P window position by adjusting values of X, Y and SIZE, where X is the horizontal position, Y is the vertical position and Size is the PIP screen size.

X-Value Positive value: position the P-in-P window to the right. Negative value: position the P-in-P window to the left. Zero value: Position the P-in-P window at the center.

Y-Value Positive value: move the P-in-P window up. Negative value: move the P-in-P window down. Zero value: Position the P-in-P window at the center.

Size Ranges from 0 to 100 with 1% being the smallest and 100 being the largest. So 50% would represent a P-in-P window which is half the size of the background image. 100% would see the PIP image totally cover the background image unless offset to one side.

Fine

Once enabled, you will then be able to fine tune the position of the P-in-P window by adjusting X and Y vales as well as the Size. This feature allows you to move the P-in-P window more precisely to the desired location and adjust its size.

Border

The user is also allowed to add borders to the PIP window and the HS-3200 offers various border styles listed as follows:

• Border Off
• Normal
• Shaded*
• 3D Bevel**
• Bevel Shaded*
• Dual Bevel**
• Bevel Flat**
• Flat Bevel**
• 3D Glass**
• Dual Glass**
• Glass Flat**
• Flat Glass**
• Circle**
• Circle Shaded*
• Rounded**
• Rounded Shaded*

*See Shade Matte/Hue for dual color border setting.

**See Shade Matte/Direction for border shadow setting.

To turn the Border off, simply select the option "Border OFF."

In addition to assigning a style to the border, the user is also allowed to set border color by adjusting Luma, Saturation and Hue values. Luma and Saturation range from 0 to 100%. Hue value ranges from 0 to 355. The borders can also be widened or narrowed by adjusting Width. Please note that a width of zero (0) will turn the PIP border off.

Opac adjusts the transparency of the border, ranging from 0% to 100%

Softness defines the distinctiveness of the border edge. A low value results in a solid border edge and a high value gives a soft diffused border.

Shade Matte (Dual Color Border)

In order for the Shade effect to work, Shaded Border (Dual Color) must be selected first as the Border – see the previous section Border. Please note that Shade Matte determines the inner border and the boundary between the normal border matte and the shade matte can be determined by adjusting the Shade Position parameter.

Luma, Sat and Hue

The color of the Shade Matte can also be controlled by adjusting the Hue, Sat and Luma values.

For Hue value, Red is 0, Green is approximately 120 and Blue is approximately 240. For secondary colors, Yellow is approximately 60, Cyan is approximately 180 and Violet is approximately 300.

The Sat or Saturation value refers to the intensity of the color selected in Hue. As the saturation increases, the color appears to be more pure. As the saturation decreases, the color appears to be more washed-out or pale.

The Luma value relates to how bright or dark the selected color or hue is. The higher the Luma value, the brighter the color selected in Hue.

Shade Softness, Shade Position and Direction

The Shade Matte can be further configured by adjusting its softness (Shade Soft) and width (Shade Pos).

Shade Soft

This blurs or softens the Shade Matte area.

Shade Position

The position of the boundary line between Shade Matte and Border Matte is controlled by the Shade Pos value.

Increasing this value moves the boundary line such that the Shade Matte occupies less of the width of the border. Decreasing this value moves the boundary line such that the Shade Matte occupies more of the overall border width. When this value is 0, the Shade Matte occupies all of the border width.

Note: You will see dual colors only if options “Shaded” and “Bevel Shaded” are selected.

Direction

Direction sets the direction of the light source with the value of parameter ranging from 0 to 355. The default is 35, which indicates a direction of North East. You will see the border's color shadow changes as the Direction value is changed. The directions that specific parameter values correspond to are listed as follows:

• 0: North
• 90: East
  • 180: South
  • 270: West

Crop

The PIP image crop can be adjusted by modifying the following parameters:

• Left – Adjusts the position of the left edge of the PIP image.
• Right – Adjusts the position of the right edge of the PIP image.
• Size – Adjusts the PIP image crop size.
• Top – Adjusts the position of the top edge of the PIP image.
• Bot – Adjusts the position of the bottom edge of the PIP image.
• Soft – Adjusts the crop edge transparency.

Note: You will sometimes see black thin lines on your PIP image after setting the PIP border to Normal with a border width of zero. This is caused by using an image that differs from its original size. To remove these lines, turn the border off or use the crop function to shrink the image until the lines disappear.

4.5 Flex Src

The Flex™ output allows the user to show a variety of sources at the same time. These image sources are fed as one combined image to the Program and Preset outputs.

The Flex™ output consists of one background image and four smaller source images overlapped on the background image in four separate individual PIP windows.

The HS-3200 offers the user two Flex™ outputs, which can be selected in "Flex Src" as shown in the Flex Src sub menu below. After selecting the Flex output, you can then start setting the source of input for each FLEX window as detailed in the next section.

R/L

On the Multiview, by default, Preview window is positioned on the left and on the right is the Program window. This option allows you to switch their positions.

Tally Mode

Tally output port generally sends two tally signals to each channel. In Datavideo products, Red indicates On-Air, and Green indicates next video source. On the Multiview screen, the tally light is indicated by rectangular borders around the input sub windows.

The HS-3200 provides two tally modes:

Normal: If in normal mode, tally lights of all video sources enabled on PGM view will be turned ON (Red). These sources include PGM, PIP and Key sources. While transition is in progress, tally lights of all video sources enabled on PGM view do not change color. The tally light will only change color (Red → Green) after transition of PGM and PVW views is complete. However, for video sources on the Preview window, the tally lights will be enabled Green, and the color is changed to Red as soon as the transition is triggered.

Audio Mixer: If Audio Mixer mode is selected, tally lights of all video sources enabled on PGM view will be turned ON (Red). While transition is in progress, tally lights of all video sources enabled on PGM view do not change color. The tally light will only change color (Red → Green) after transition of PGM and PVW views is complete. However, for video sources on the Preview window, the tally lights will be enabled Green, and the color is changed to Red as soon as the transition is triggered.

GPI Out

GPI is designed to allow the user to trigger playback of an external playback device such as Datavideo's NVP-20 or HRS-30 unit. GPI OUT allows the user to configure your GPI connection.

First enable the GPI port and then set the GPI mode, which is either level or pulse. The pulse width can be configured in Width sub-option (1-9).

Once the GPI function is enabled, you can assign it to one of Inputs 1-12 which can later be used to trigger external devices and the delay can be set to a value between 0 and 99.

4.8 Audio

In the Audio menu, you will be able to start and shut off the embedded audio of SDI and HDMI videos.

Audio	Audio	Mode	On	Src	Input 1
	PGM Audio	Mode	V Fade	Gain	0 dB	Delay 0 ms
	Analog Out	Src	Follow	Gain	0 dB	Delay 0 ms

Audio

External audio source can only enter the HS-3200 via the analog XLR input port found on the rear panel of the main unit. Ideally the user should use the HS-3200 with an audio mixer.

It is recommended to use AM-100 or AD-200 audio mixer designed and manufactured by Datavideo. All external audio sources can be connected to AM-100 or AD-200 before entering the HS-3200. The external audio can be embedded into SDI video out.

Mode (ON/OFF): Setting Mode ON allows the HS-3200 to embed external audio component into SDI video out. Changing the Mode option from ON to OFF will mute the embedded audio.

Audio Src: This sub-option allows the user to select the audio source.

If "External" is selected, the external audio, i.e. audio from AUDIO IN port, will be played.

If "Follow" is selected, the audio will enter Audio follow Video mode, i.e. playback of the audio of the output video.

To play the audio of a particular input video channel, select an input number from Input 1-12.

PGM Audio

While working in the Audio-F-Video mode, the audio sources will also change as the video sources are switched. We can choose how the audio changes sources, whether it be a clean cut (immediate switch) or some sort of transitioned change (cross fade or fade out & in). To do this we would need to set up with the following menu options.

• X Fade: PGM Audio / PVW Audio cross fade
• V Fade: Fade out PGM Audio then fade in PVW Audio

Gain (0 - 24 dB): adjustment of the PGM audio volume.

Delay (0 - 340 ms): sets the delay of the PGM audio volume.

Analog Out

You are also allowed to select a source of audio of your preference and output the selected audio via Audio OUT. Open the OSD menu and select Audio → Analog Out → Src where you may select a source of audio from the following list.

• PGM Audio
• Follow
• Input 1-12

If “Follow” is selected, the audio will enter Audio follow Video mode, i.e. playback of the PGM audio via Audio OUT without audio output delay. If “PGM Audio” is selected, the HS-3200 will only play the PGM audio via Audio OUT with audio output delay. You may also select to output one audio component of the 12 inputs via Audio OUT without audio output delay.

Gain (-60 - 24 dB): adjustment of the audio volume at the AUDIO OUT.

Delay (0 - 340 ms): sets the delay of the audio at the AUDIO OUT.

4.9 Files

In Files, you will be allowed to manipulate different files such as clips, still pictures, user memories and still and animated logos.

Still allows the user to load images from the memory, save images to the memory, and save the images captured. User allows you to load previously saved settings and save the currently configured settings. In Clip, you will be able to browse through the clip files and load the clips directly on the switcher. As for logo and ani logo menus, they allow you to load still and animated logos directly on the switcher.

All five file types will be discussed in the following sub-sections.

User Mems

In this option, the user is allowed to load previously saved settings and save the currently configured settings.

Clip

The CLIP or Stinger Transition Effect is basically an animated effect added during transition of two video sources. The animated effect is generated by a clip file which consists of a series of sequential files in bmp/jpg/png/pic formats. In the next few sections, you will be shown how you can load the existing clip on the switcher, and import the clip to the switcher from the PC.

Advanced/Basic mode

Files	File Type	Clip
	Load Clip	Load	Clip 0	Clip Settings
		Thumbnail Clip - 1	Thumbnail Clip	Thumbnail Clip + 1
		Clear Clip		Delete Clip

Load Clip

In this sub-option, use the Up/Down arrows on the physical keyboard of the switcher to browse the clip files. Once “Load” is pressed, the selected clip will be loaded into the clip buffer and replace the previously loaded clip. As the clip is being loaded, you will be able to view its progress on the Preview window.

Note: The HS-3200 comes with pre-loaded clip files. The HS-3200 also allows the user to import customized clip files. It is recommended to use 32-bit with Alpha png format.

You can preview three clip videos at the same time. "Thumbnail Clip - 1" allows the user to preview the previous clip, "Thumbnail Clip" displays the clip that will be loaded when "Load" is selected, and "Thumbnail Clip + 1" shows the next clip. To enable the Clip (Stinger) transition mode, simply press the CLIP button.

To clear the loaded clip from the buffer, simply select "Clear Clip." To remove clip from a memory location, select "Delete Clip."

Clip Settings

Clip Settings allow the user to set the Clip's Start/End & Mid (Transition points) frames. After users have imported a clip, they often find that it needs some small adjustments so with these settings the user can skip unwanted frames at the start and end of the Clip. They can also choose the frame at which the fade from PGM to PVW occurs. The default is to do the fade in the middle of the clip but depending on the actual clip, the user may want to alter this position.

• Start Frm: Adjusts the start frame number of the Clip
  • End Frm: Adjusts the end frame number of the Clip
  • Mid Frm: Adjusts the PGM to PVW fade point of the Clip
• Cancel: Cancels any changes
• Save: Saves the changes for this clip as each clip is allowed to have different settings.

Note: Clip Settings will be enabled only after the clip is loaded.

Chapter 5 Basic Operation

The switcher's control panel is the main control interface for the user to select video sources and take them to air during live production. On the control panel, the user will be allowed to select the transition style, enable/disable various keyers, and add logos to the program view.

The OSD menu allows the user to adjust transition settings, configure chroma keyers and PIP windows, assign inputs and outputs and modify audio parameters.

This section describes how you can switch video sources on the control panel using simple operations.

5.1 Video Switching

First let's learn the basics of video switching.

Program and Preset rows

This row of buttons is typically used to select the switcher's main Program output image. The selected source sent to the Program outputs will be backlit Red on this row. Simple cuts between sources can be performed on this row by pressing on the source number required for the next shot.

graph LR
    A["BLK MATTE"] --> B["1/ STILL 1"]
    B --> C["2/ STILL 2"]
    C --> D["3/ FLEX"]
    D --> E["4"]
    E --> F["5"]
    F --> G["6"]
    G --> H["7"]
    H --> I["8"]
    I --> J["9"]
    J --> K["10"]
    K --> L["11"]
    L --> M["12"]

    F --> G["6"]
    G --> H["7"]
    H --> I["8"]
    I --> J["9"]
    J --> K["10"]
    K --> L["11"]
    L --> M["12"]

This row of buttons is typically used to select the switcher's Preview or Next source output image. The selected source will be backlit Green on this row. You can transition between Preview and Program using the T-Bar, the CUT button or the AUTO button.

Note: The keys on the Program and Preview rows will still be active while the T-Bar is moving.

Black and MATTE View

The BLK/MATTE button allows the user to switch between a black background, a matte colour and color bars on Program and Preview screens.

The MATTE color can be configured in the OSD menu. Simply go to 'Start' →

'Matte' and then adjust Luma, Saturation and Hue.

For Hue value, Red is 0, Green is approximately 120 and Blue is approximately 240. For secondary colors, Yellow is approximately 60, Cyan is approximately 180 and Violet is approximately 300.

The Sat or Saturation value refers to the intensity of the color selected in Hue. As the saturation increases, the color appears to be more pure. As the saturation decreases, the color appears to be more washed-out or pale.

The Luma value relates to how bright or dark the selected color or hue is. The higher the Luma value, the brighter the color selected in Hue.

Flex Output

The Flex™ output allows the user to show a variety of sources at the same time these can then be fed as one combined image to the HS-3200 Program or Preview output.

The Flex ^™ output is basically a combination of one background image and four other Picture in Picture windows. Press and hold the SHIFT button and then press the FLEX button to activate the Flex ^™ output. To deactivate, press the FLEX button again.

You will have the ability to place a user defined color border around the smaller PIP windows. You can re-size, crop, rotate and position the PIP windows in almost any manner that you wish. See Section 4.5 Flex Src for details on the Flex Output Configurations.

Still button

Press and hold the SHIFT button and then press the STILL button to switch the Main Program view to a still picture. Before pressing the Still button, make sure the still pictures are loaded to the still buffers (Still 1/2), which can be done in the OSD menu.

5.2 Transitions

The Transitions group of buttons allows the user to decide how to bring the selected Preset / Next source image to the Program output. The HS-3200 user can decide to use a CUT, MIX, WIPE or DVE (Digital Video Effect) transition. In order to use these transition options the TRANS BG (Transition Background) Button needs to be enabled (backlit Red) in the TRANS EFFECT area of the HS-3200 Control Panel.

AUTO Button

The AUTO button is used instead of the manually operated T-Bar and automatically performs the complete selected transition between Program and Preset over a set period. The M/E value in the START menu is used here. See Section 4.1 on page 37 also.

CUT Button

The CUT button is used to immediately switch between the currently selected Program and Preset sources.

MIX Button

The MIX button is selected when a dissolve or fade transition between the selected Program and Preset sources is required. This MIX transition is produced by then moving the T-Bar manually or by pressing the AUTO TRANS button. To configure the mix transition time, open the OSD menu, then the

Start menu, and modify the M/E value accordingly.

Press the Clip button to enable the Clip (Stinger) transition mode.

The Stinger Transition Effect is basically an animated effect added during transition of two video sources. The animated effect is generated by a clip file

which consists of a series of sequential files in bmp/jpg/png/pic formats. The Stinger transition is produced by then moving the T-Bar manually or by pressing the AUTO TRANS button. See Section 5.4 for instructions on loading the clip on the switcher.

FTB Button

The FTB button (Fade To Black) fades the current video program source to black. When pressed again it acts in reverse from complete black to the

currently selected program video source. To set the transition time, open the OSD menu, then the Start menu, and modify the FTB value accordingly.

T-Bar

Pure technical line drawing of a mechanical component without any text, numbers, or symbols

This performs a manually controlled transition from the current program source to the selected preset source. The selected transition wipe, dissolve or animation will be used. When the T-Bar has travelled as far as it can go, the transition between sources is complete. Please note that the T-Bar can be operated bi-directionally.

The T-Bar has indicators next to it, which light when the transition is in progress indicating the direction of operation and is off after the transition is complete.

Note: Open the OSD menu by pressing the MENU button in the MENU area of the HS-3200 Control Panel.

To select a WIPE on the OSD menu, navigate to the WIPE option under WIPE EFFECTS and then select a WIPE number. Each WIPE transition also has flexible user options to tailor the look of the transition. All wipes have an optional colour border applied. The wipe border width and colour are also chosen within the menu system.

Soft Value

This value allows the ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ edge softness of the Wipe Border to be controlled. A low value makes a sharp or hard wipe edge. A large value results in a softer or diffused wipe edge.

Width Value

This value determines how wide the actual wipe effect is. A low value makes a narrow wipe. A large value makes a wider wipe.

Hue, Sat and Luma values

The colour of the Wipe Border Matte can also be controlled by adjusting the Hue, Sat and Luma values.

Wipe Position

Certain Wipes, such as the Circle and the Oval Wipes, allow the Wipe position to be controlled.

The X value allows the selected wipe to be offset to the left or right of the screen.

The Y value allows the selected wipe to be offset to the top or bottom of the screen.

REV Button

When the REV Button is OFF the selected WIPE or DVE transition will operate in its default direction only. When the REV Button is ON then the selected transition will operate in the reverse direction.

5.3 Managing Still Pictures

On the HS-3200 Switcher, the user will be allowed to manipulate uncompressed still pictures with Grab and Frame Store functions. In this section, you will also be guided to load the stills saved on the switcher and display them on the monitor.

Each video channel of the HS-3200 has one frame store to which a still can be loaded, and the unit has enough storage space for up to 1000 uncompressed stills.

Grabbing & Saving a Still to Memory

The Grab & Save options of the OSD menu allow new Still Images to be created by grabbing & saving the current Program video frame image to two internal still buffers in the HS-3200.

1. Press the MENU button to open the OSD menu (shown below) on the Multiview display.

Stills	File Type	Still
	Load Still	Load	Still Num 1	Still 1
		Thumbnail Picture – 1	Thumbnail Picture	Thumbnail Picture + 1
	Save Still	Save	Still 1	Still Num 1
				Delete
	Grab Still	Grab	Still 1

1. The Program output is grabbed to a Still buffer (Still 1 or 2) by selecting 'Grab'.

2. The user can look at the Multi Image Preview and decide if this Still should be saved.

3. To save a Still from the currently selected Stills buffer, the user should select a Still number that has not been used yet, and select 'Save'.

4. The save process takes about 15 seconds, after which the new thumbnail picture will be shown within the Still display under the chosen still number.

Loading an existing Still from Memory

The Still Load Menu allows stills already stored in the HS-3200 to be loaded to a Still buffer (Still 1 or 2) or an Input buffer (Inputs 1 – 12). Follow the steps below to load the still.

Files	File Type	Still
	Load Still	Load	Still Num 10	Still 1
		Thumbnail Picture – 1	Thumbnail Picture	Thumbnail Picture + 1
	Save Still	Save	Still 1	Still Num 10
				Delete
	Grab Still	Grab	Still 1

The Still menu screen (shown above) shows thumbnail pictures of up to 3 saved stills at a time. If there are more than 3 stills stored in the HS-3200 then the Menu Control's up/down arrow buttons can be used to move through the saved stills. The stills are shown in numerical order, and any numbers not used will be blank.

To load a still, simply browse to a Still number and select a still buffer then select 'Load'. The selected still will be loaded into the selected buffer. In the above example, the still buffer will be loaded with the image in memory slot 10.

Deleting a saved Still from Memory

To delete a saved still, select a still number that is no longer required. Select 'Delete' and you will be prompted to confirm the delete. Select 'YES' to remove the still from the switcher's memory and 'No' to cancel the delete.

Note: The deleted still, if pre-loaded to the current Still or Input buffer, will be kept until another still image is selected or grabbed to occupy this buffer.

FS - Frame Store Button

The HS-3200 has twelve video channels and each of these channels has its own Frame Store, making a total of twelve Frame Stores. Each of these Frame Stores can hold one still image. The FS button allows the user to call the still image into the production and toggle between that still image of the Frame

Store and the live video input connected to that same video channel.

How to choose live video input or Frame Store

1. First press and hold down the FS button. The Preset row of input sources will flash green.

2. While still holding down the FS button, press the required input on the Preset row. For example, pressing button 1 switches the video channel to the still picture mode.

3. To return to the live video mode, simply press the channel button again.

This selection will also be confirmed on the Multi-view output, with the selected channel showing the live input or frame store image.

Note: Before using the FS function, first make sure the still picture has been loaded to the input video channel. Refer to Section 5.3 for instructions on loading still pictures.

Import Still Images from PC

The Switcher Image Import/Export software (SwitcherImageImEx_vx.x.x.msi) allows the user to import still pictures from the PC to a designated Still number in the switcher. The software installation package can be downloaded from the product page. Features of the Import/Export software are listed as follows:

• Supported file formats are BMP, JPG, PNG, and PIC.
• Minimum resolution is 1280 x 720.

See Chapter 3 for installation instructions and network configuration.

How to use

1. After the utility is successfully installed, double click the icon to run the program. Since the program is executed for the first time, it will automatically scan the network and if multiple network interface cards are found, simply select the card that is on the same network as the device.

1. If the available device is scanned and found, the connection will be automatically established and the Connect Status will show "Connected" (will show Not Connected if disconnected).

1. After clicking the Setup button, you will see the network information as shown below.

1. Click the Still button to view thumbnails of still pictures and import still pictures from your PC.

1. Click the Still number first and enter a location for storing the still. Then click Import Still and the interface for selecting still files will appear. If the selected picture is not 1120x1080 or 1280x720, the interface shown below will pop up to allow you to crop or zoom in/out the picture.

Crop Size: Select the right crop

Resize Image: You will be allowed to select two sizes, large (1080) or small (720), and zoom the picture to 1920 x 1080 or 1280 x 720.

1. After the right crop is selected or the resolution is correctly configured, click OK to start importing the still picture to the switcher.

2. To confirm that the still picture is imported successfully, click the Still button on the MENU SELECT pane to view the thumbnails. OSD menu is another way to confirm the import, simply go to Files -> File Type → Still.

5.4 Performing a Stinger Transition

The Stinger Transition Effect is basically an animated effect added during transition of two video sources. The animated effect is generated by a clip which consists of a series of sequential files in bmp, jpg, png or pic format. This type of transition is very popular in sports productions for transitioning in and out of instant replays.

In this section, we will explain how to build and perform stinger transitions.

Loading a Clip from Memory

In Clip, use the Up/Down arrow buttons on the physical keyboard of the switcher to browse the clip files. Once "Load" is pressed, the selected clip will be loaded into the clip buffer and replace the previously loaded clip.

Files	File Type	Clip
	Load Clip	Load	Clip 0	Clip Settings
		Thumbnail Clip - 1	Thumbnail Clip	Thumbnail Clip + 1
		Clear Clip		Delete Clip

Note: The HS-3200 comes with pre-loaded clip files. The HS-3200 also allows the user to import customized clip files. It is recommended to use 32-bit with Alpha png format.

Preview of clip videos is below the "Load Clip" sub-option. You can preview three clip videos at the same time.

After the clip video has been successfully imported, to enable the Clip (Stinger) transition mode, simply turn ON the Clip button.

Importing the Clip for Stinger Transition Effect from PC

On the HS-3200, besides using the existing clips on the machine, you are also allowed to import your own clip (a series of bmp/png/jpg/pic files) to the HS-3200 from the PC using the Switcher Image Import/Export utility. Simply select one of the sequential files numbered by the last five digits of the file name and the utility program will start linking all images (from the first selected file to the last) up into a sequential animation file. The optimal resolution is 1920x1080.

Instructions for importing the clips are provided below:

Click the Clip button on the MENU SELECT pane.

The clip number allows you to select a location where you can save the clip. To import a clip from the computer into the HS-3200, select Import Clip.

Tip: The Switcher Image Import/Export utility does the conversion from bmp/png/jpg to the .pic file format automatically. All you need to do is to give the utility a starting fi location and it will give the utility an idea where to start linking all images up into a sequential animation file.

Importing Clips

Select "Import Clip" will open a file browser window. Browse to the directory where your clip files are saved and then select the file at the zeroth location, in our example on the right, the file name is frame-000.png.

Click Open to start the clip import. If your files are not the .pic format, they will be automatically converted to .pic format by the Switcher Image Import/Export utility first.

After the file conversion, the clip import will then start. After the import is complete, the progress dialog will be automatically closed.

Note: Clip Conversion and Clip Import have progress dialogs that show progress & number of frames done. These dialogs also have a cancel button which allows the user to cancel the import at any stage. If the import is cancelled, then the partially imported data will be deleted.

How to Create the PNG Sequence for Stinger Transition Effect

Adobe After Effects is a motion graphics application that can be used for creating the clip file for stinger transition effect. After the clip file is created, there are two ways to convert the file to the PNG sequence format readable by the HS-3200 switcher in Adobe After Effects. In this section, we will show you how you can create the PNG sequence for the Stinger transition effect.

Important things to note while creating Stinger Transition Effects

When using Datavideo's HS-3200 Multi-Channel Switcher to design and create the Stinger Transition Effects, in addition to being creative, there are a few things that you need to take into account of.

1. Length limit of the stinger transition animation

The length of a good stinger transition animation should be approximately 0.5 to 2 seconds.

1. The HS-3200 allows a maximum of 200 image files in an animation sequence

The number of image files will determine the length of stinger transition time.

1. While designing the animation, it is best to have an image that fills up the entire frame to create a satisfactory visual effect (please see the images below).

Chapter 6 Advanced Operation

The HS-3200 is a High Definition Digital Video Switcher. As well as mixing video and audio sources, it has additional functions such as Picture In Picture (PIP), DSK, LUMA KEY, Chroma Key and Logos.

Before attempting to use the HS-3200's PIP, DSK LUMA KEY and LOGO functions it may help to first understand the order of the video layers at the HS-3200 Program (PGM) outputs.

The Background video layer is the normal video layer (black screen, color matte, color bars, inputs 1-12, still pictures 1 and 2 or Flex™ sources) when mixing and switching with the HS-3200. It occupies the whole screen area of the Program output. This layer can be hidden or partly hidden by the PIP, DSK and LOGO layers in front of it.

The Key 1 layer (PIP1, chroma key or luma key) does not occupy the whole screen and is shown in front of the Background video layer when enabled.

The Key 2 layer (PIP2, chroma key or luma key) does not occupy the whole screen and is shown in front of the Background video and Key 1 layers when enabled.

The Key 3 layer (PIP3, chroma key or luma key) does not occupy the whole screen and is shown in front of the Background video, Key 1 and Key 2 layers when enabled.

The Key 4 layer (PIP4, chroma key or luma key) does not occupy the whole screen and is shown in front of the Background video, Key 1, Key 2 and Key 3 layers when enabled.

In some setups the Key image can be hidden behind other key images. This is not a fault. Change the position or size of the Key image if required.

The DSK 1 layer can occupy the whole screen. If set up incorrectly this layer can stop the video layers behind it from being seen properly. Re-adjust your DSK 1 settings or switch off the DSK1 function on the HS-3200 to restore the video behind it.

The DSK 2 layer can occupy the whole screen. If set up incorrectly this layer can stop the video layers behind it from being seen properly. Re-adjust your DSK 2 settings or switch off the DSK2 function on the HS-3200 to restore the video behind it.

The logo layer is the uppermost layer. If standard logo (still) is chosen, the maximum logo size will be restricted to 480 x 1080. If animation logo (dynamic) is chosen, the logo will be confined within 480 x 270.

Note: Where possible prepare and position the upper video layer elements in advance of the live production starting to avoid them appearing on the program output incorrectly.

Most broadcast networks have guidelines and advice on the use of video, images, music, logos and on screen text so it is best to check beforehand when planning a production. Do not use copyright protected content until you have the relevant permissions. Information on royalty free video, images and music is widely available, speak to your local dealer or search for advice on the internet.

6.1 Picture-in-Picture and Downstream Key

The Picture in Picture (PIP) feature of the Key 1, Key 2, Key 3 and Key 4 layers can be used for displaying a smaller secondary image in front of the background video layer. This smaller PIP image can be resized, cropped, repositioned and even keyed by the user to avoid an important part of the background video layer being covered by it.

The Down Stream Key layers (DSK 1 & DSK 2) are placed on top of all the previous layers. These layers are typically used with Character Generator inputs for displaying titles, graphics, lower thirds, clocks and logos. Datavideo offer several Character Generator products (additional purchase) such as TC-200, CG-250, CG-350 and CG-500. If set up incorrectly these DSK layers can also stop the video layers behind them from being displayed properly.

The HS-3200 has six dedicated keyers, Key1, Key2, Key3, Key4, DSK 1 and DSK 2. All six keyers can be active simultaneously.

Picture-In-Picture

In this example, we are supplying the HS-3200 with an HD-SDI live video signal to input 2; this is selected on the Program row. We have also assigned a STILL image to input 6. This still image, selected on the Keyer sub menu, will be displayed in the PIP window.

Note: See Section 5.3 for assigning a STILL image to input 6.

On the HS-3200 Control Panel / Keyboard there are eight KEYER keys. These are labelled Program and Preview. The upper KEYER keys relate to activating Picture-In-Picture images on the Program outputs. The lower KEYER keys relate to activating Picture-In-Picture images on the Multiview or Preview outputs. Before activating

Picture-In-Picture images on the output image, you should first set these KEYER keys to PIP mode.

1. Select Key 1.

2. In the Keyer Ctrl option, select "Luma" and "Self" to apply luma keying effect to the connected input. The luma key removes the background, in this case, the black component of the image.

3. In this example, the text image is against a black background so reduce the Lift value to remove the black background. Descriptions of the corresponding parameters are described below:

- Lift (0 – 100%) adjusts the dark/black areas of the key image. Reducing the value of Lift will make dark areas of the key image more transparent. The background image will be showing only through the transparent areas.

- Gain (0.0 – 16.0) adjusts the light/white areas of the key image. Increasing the value of Gain will make light areas of the key image more solid. The background image will be showing only through the transparent areas.

- Opac (0 – 100%) adjusts the transparency of the overall foreground image, which is the text in this example. Increasing the value of Opacity will make the overall key image less transparent.

- Invert (On/Off) sets the luma key color; luma key color is white if turned ON and black if turned OFF.

1. Set the "Lift" to 100% if the background is in total black.

2. Opaque logo can be created by setting the "Opac" parameter to 100%. Set "Opac" to 100% if an opaque logo is desired. Semi-transparency effect can be generated by setting the "Opac" parameter to a value between 0 and 100%.

3. Under the Source option, select an input source to which the luma key settings will be applied. In this example, select "Input 9" since this is the port to which the laptop is connected.

Note: Since "Self" is chosen, Fill input will be ignored.

1. Exit the menu after the luma key settings are properly configured.

2. Press the Key 1 PGM or Key 1 PVW button to place the text image on the Program screen or the Preview screen respectively.

6.3 Insertion of People onto Backgrounds (Chroma Key)

The Chroma Key feature of the HS-3200 is easy to use. Typical Blue and Green screen studios can be quickly incorporated into an HS-3200 production.

The following is a quick overview of Chroma Key basics.

The camera, backdrop and lighting all play an important role in producing the optimal Chroma Key result. Although the HS-3200 is equipped with excellent keying controls, it is best to start with a good keyable image.

A good foreground image helps produce a good key

Three chip/Three sensor camera

We strongly recommend the use of a three chip or three sensor camera for Chroma Key shooting. If the camera has three chips or sensors then this usually means good colour separation within the camera. The optics on these cameras are usually better too. The extra image clarity and the good colour separation help improve the quality of the subsequent keying with the camera's output.

White Balance the Camera

White Balance is extremely important after setting up a chroma key studio. The camera must be correctly white balanced to minimize the subject picking up any colour cast (green or blue) from the background. Of course the white balance settings will vary according to the type of lighting you are using, but neutral whites and good skin tone colour are the all-important targets.

To set the white balance you will need a white reference card (or a sheet of white paper). Focus the camera on the reference card and light it evenly using the main light. Set the camera's iris / aperture so that the card is correctly exposed. Use the Auto White Balance (AWB) function, or set the white balance manually so that the card appears white. If you are

in any doubt about how to white balance your camera, please refer to your Camera's instruction manual for more details.

Lighting

Lighting of your chosen green or blue backdrop is extremely important; the more even the lighting on the backdrop the better the finished result. Lighting setups for the foreground subject will vary according to the effect that you want. For chroma keying backdrops, balanced even lighting with no hotspots or shadow areas is the aim. The easiest way to achieve balanced Chroma key lighting is with a lighting setup that looks similar to this:

In the diagram, you will see that we recommend a minimum of four lights and we keep the subject more than 1m away from the backdrop. It is always easier to get more even lighting if the subject is farther away from the backdrop (no shadows). The foreground lighting on the subject will also vary according to the effect that you are looking for.

After the studio set up is complete, connect the camera shooting the speaker on a green backdrop to the SDI Input 1 at the rear of the switcher. To configure the settings that will be used for chroma keying, press the MENU button on your HS-3200 control panel to open the OSD menu on the monitor. Follow the steps below to configure the chroma key settings.

1. Open the Keyer sub menu and select Key 1.

Keyer	Keyer	Key 1		Normal
	Keyer Ctrl	Chroma		Self		Opac	100%
		Lift	0%	Gain	1.0	Invert	Off
	Key Source	Input 1		Fill	Black
	Mask	Left	0%	Right	0%
		Top	0%	Bot	0%

1. Select “Chroma” and “Self” under “Keyer Ctrl” and then select the camera source under “Key Source.” In this example, we have selected Input 1, which corresponds to the SDI Input 1 at the rear of the switcher and therefore the port to which the camera is connected.
2. Adjust the left, right, top and bottom values of "Mask" to set the chroma key range according to green or blue backdrop size.
3. Open Chroma Sub Menu and adjust the corresponding chroma key parameters. Again in this example, we have selected Input 1, which corresponds to the SDI Input 1 at the rear of the switcher.

Note: Selection of CK Auto automatically calculates the best Hue & Luma values for the current Keyer source.

Chroma	Keyer	Key 1		Normal
	Key Source	Input 1
	Key Tie	On		Input 6
	CK Setup	CK Auto		Hue	110	Luma	80%
		K Range	160	K Fgnd	10%	K Bgnd	20%
		Hi-Light	0%	Lo-Light	0%	Bg-Supp	OFF
		Left	0%	Right	0%	Soft	0%
	Mask	Left	0%	Right	0%
		Top	0%	Bot	0%

The chromakeying parameters are described below:

• Hue: This parameter adjusts the color of the chroma key. A typical green screen value will be around 120. Blue screen value will be around 240.
  • Luma: The Luma value relates to how bright or dark the selected key colour or hue is.
• K Range (Key Range): Key Range sets the range of hues or colors (0 – 360 degrees) that closely match the background color to be keyed. The user can start with a value of 120 degrees and this value can be fine-tuned up or down depending on the setup of the green or blue screen studio.
• K Fgnd (Key Foreground): Key Foreground adjusts the performance of the chroma key in light or white areas. Apply more Key Foreground if the light areas are becoming too transparent.
• K Bgnd (Key Background): Key Background adjusts the performance of the chroma key in dark or black areas. Apply more Key Background if the dark areas are becoming too transparent.
  • Hi-Light: Hi-light boosts the foreground key in high luminance area.
• Lo-Light: Lo-light boosts the foreground key in low luminance area.

• Bg-Supp: Turn ON Background Suppress removes the Luma (Brightness) of the background from the final image. If the Chroma Key Output is showing Light Edges, then the Bgnd suppress can be used to suppress any background Luma that is showing through on these edges.

• After Chroma Key configuration is complete, close the OSD menu and simply press KEY 1 PGM or KEY 1 PVW button on the switcher's control panel to place the speaker on PGM or PVW Screen as shown in the diagram below.

6.4 Displaying a variety of Sources at the same time

The Flex™ output allows the user to show a variety of sources at the same time and these sources can then be fed as one combined image to the HS-3200 Program or Preview outputs.

The Flex™ output could be as simple as one background image and four smaller source images to make a basic Flex™ layout.

Alternatively it could be a lot more complex with a fifth image source making a fifth PIP window. You also have the ability to place a user defined color border around all PIP windows. You can re-size, crop, rotate and position the PIP windows in almost any manner that you wish. With the HS-3200, you will be allowed to enable up to eight PIP windows on the Flex™ output.

To configure the Flex™ settings, simply follow the steps outline below.

Basic Flex™ Output (Four PIP Windows)

1. Enable Flex™ output on PGM or PVW window (press SHIFT and while holding down the SHIFT button, press the FLEX button). This will display the Flex™ output layout on either the PVW or PGM screen so that you will be able to configure the Flex™ output windows while viewing the changes.

The diagrams below provide an example of an eight PIP window display.

6.5 Shortcut Keys to assigning Output Sources

In general, the HS-3200 offers 9 output ports (SDI 1 - 6 / HDMI 1-3) and all 9 ports can be configured to output one of the following:

• Flex Src 1/2
• Still 2
• Still 1
• Input 1 - 12
  • CLN PVW (Clean PVW)
  • CLN PGM (Clean PGM)
• PG + DSK
  • PVW
• PGM
  • MultiV2 (Multi view 2)
• MultiV (Multi view)

In addition to setting the source of these 9 output ports in OSD menu → Outputs → Output, you can also use the shortcut keys on the control panel to assign the output sources. The instructions are outlined as follows:

1. The diagram below depicts the corresponding buttons for selecting the respective output ports as well as the video sources. The program row on the top allows you to first select the output port and the preset row below allows you to then assign a video source to the selected output port.

Chapter 7 Video Streaming and Recording

The HS-3200 Portable Video Studio includes a built-in Video Streaming Server (NVS-31) allowing the user to stream and record your program at the same time. From any SDI/HDMI input sources, the Datavideo's video streaming server generates an H.264 encoded stream that is compliant with RTSP or RTMP(S) protocols. While encoding the video at bit rates appropriate for live streaming, the Datavideo NVS-31 concurrently records a high-quality MP4 file to an SD card.

Note: The built-in video streaming server and recording device are referred to as NVS-31.

7.1 Streaming Network Connection and Device Search

This section details how to connect the NVS-31 to a network with or without a DHCP server, and describes how to acquire the NVS-31's IP address.

Connecting to a DHCP Network (DHCP Mode)

Follow the following procedure to scan your DHCP network for connected NVS-31 devices.

Note: The NVS-31 will be automatically assigned an IP address upon connection to the DHCP network.

1. Connect the NVS-31's stream port to the network via an Ethernet cable.

2. Turn on the HS-3200's power and the NVS-31 will also be turned ON in the DHCP mode by default.

1. Connect the laptop to the same network that the NVS-31 is connected to and download the free IP Finder utility program.

2. Double click the IP Finder utility program icon to open the IP Finder interface.

3. Click the SCAN button to start searching for connected devices.

Connecting to a NON-DHCP Network (Static IP)

Upon connection to a non-DHCP network, the NVS-31 will not be assigned of any IP addresses. As such it is recommended that you manually assign a fixed IP address to the device or use the default IP address (192.168.1.60).

Default Fixed IP

Default Fixed IP is primarily used in point-to-point connection, such as connecting the PC to the NVS-31 directly. In a non-DHCP environment, the NVS-31 works in fixed IP mode only.

To configure the NVS-31 to the default IP, please follow the steps outlined below:

1. Connect the NVS-31's stream port to the network via an Ethernet cable.

2. Turn on the HS-3200's power and the NVS-31 will also be turned ON in the DHCP mode by default.

3. Search for the NVS-31 device according to the method as detailed in the previous DHCP section. Once found, log into the user interface on the web browser.

4. Enter the system page by clicking the "System" tab on the home of the user interface.

5. In the "Network Setting", disable the DHCP mode.

6. You will then be allowed to manually enter the static IP address once the DHCP mode is disabled. The static IP is 192.168.1.60 by default. The subnet mask and default gateway are 255.255.255.0 and 192.168.1.254 respectively.

Tip: If you forget or lose the IP address, do the following to reset the network settings.

• Turn off the switcher.
• Press the RECORD and STREAM buttons at the same time then turn ON the power of the switcher
• Wait for about five seconds and release the button push as soon as you see the RECORD and STREAM button LEDs light up.
• The IP address should be the default IP which is 192.168.1.30.

Troubleshooting the Network Connection

Connect the NVS-31 to the network and open the IP Finder utility program. Scan for the device. If not found, it is possible that your network is not assigning IP addresses. Reasons of this are outlined as follows:

• Router or DHCP server is not connected to the network.
• New devices are blocked by the network administrator.
• Anti-virus software or the firewall blocks the communication.

Solve the problem by trying the following:

- Turn off the router, wait for 10 seconds then turn on the router again.

- Reset the NVS-31 to the factory default:

• Turn off the switcher.
• Push the Record and Stream buttons simultaneously while turning on the switcher's power.
• Wait for about five seconds and release the button push as soon as you see the RECORD and STREAM button LEDs light up.

- Reboot the PC.

If the problem still persists, try the following ways:

• Temporarily shut down the anti-virus software or firewall.
• Make sure no other devices are connected to the LAN (wired or wireless) because this may result in IP conflicts.

After trying all methods and if the problem is still not solved, the NVS-31 video streaming server offers the fixed IP feature that allows you to establish direct connection to the NVS-31. The default IP address is 192.168.1.60.

This method allows you to configure the NVS device to the IP range of your network so that you do not need a DHCP server to gain access to the NVS device.

- Connect your PC to the NVS device directly using an Ethernet cable (not necessarily a crossover cable).

Next, change the network settings of your PC or laptop.

• Click START located at the bottom left corner of your screen.
• On the text bar, enter Network Connections then click the icon that appears.
• Double click the network adapter that connects your PC or laptop to the network.
• Click the "Properties" button.
• Select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" option and click the "Properties" button.
• Check the "Obtain an IP address automatically" option.

- Enter IPv4 settings:

• IP Address: 192.168.1.2
• Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 (System default is 255.255.255.0)
• Default Gateway: Not required for one-to-one connection.

Note: Please write down the IPv4 address previously entered as it may be needed after you are done with streaming or recording.

• The NVS-31 should now be connected with an IP address of 192.168.1.60.

If the NVS-31 still cannot connect, simply restore the NVS-31 to the factory defaults.

• Turn off the switcher.
• Push the Record and Stream buttons simultaneously while turning on the switcher's power.
• Wait for about five seconds and release the button push as soon as you see the RECORD and STREAM button LEDs light up.
• Make sure no other devices are connected to the LAN (wired or wireless) because this may result in IP conflicts.

- Login the NVS-31 via a web browser.

• Default user name is admin
• Default password is 000000

- Click the "System" tab then on the system page, enter network settings such as static IP and default gateway. Make sure that the default gateway matches your connected network and no device shares the same IP as the NVS-31.

For example, if your router's default gateway IP is 10.10.1.1, then in the default gateway field, you should also enter 10.10.1.1. Then set the IP address of the NVS-31 to 10.10.1.X, which can range from 10.10.1.2 to 10.10.1.255. Pick an unused IP address.

• DHCP : Disable
• Static IP : X.X.X.Y ; the first three decimal numbers must be the same as your router or switch. The number Y must be a number not used by any devices connected to the network.
• Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
• Default Gateway : Z.Z.Z.Z ; same as the gateway IP of your router or switch.

Note: Some router may require special gateway IP setting; instead of the standard 192.168.1.1. Therefore, you should check the network properties on the PC before switching to the fixed IP mode.

For example, some routers have a gateway IP of 192.168.1.254 and as a result, the default gateway and primary DNS fields on the NVS-31 must also be configured to 192.168.1.254.

• Primary DNS: Same as the default gateway IP, which, if causing issues, can be changed to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.8.4 (Public DNS provided by Google).
• Click the "Submit" button to save the network settings.
• Reconnect the PC and the NVS-31 to the network.
• Restore the PC's original network settings.
• Shut down the HS-3200; wait for approximately five seconds before turning the HS-3200 back ON.
• You should be able to access the NVS-31 through the fixed IP address.

Advanced Troubleshooting

If you still are unable to connect, please try the following:

Stream and Record Settings

In the section, you will be introduced various setting options of stream and record functions.

Stream Encoder Settings
Bitrate Mode	Bitrate ModeThe bitrate mode sets the video bitrate mode for your video stream. The available modes are high, mid and low.Note: You can also switch between different bitrate modes by pressing the Bitrate button on the Record/Stream panel. See Section 7.4 for details.
	Auto StreamIf the Auto Stream is enabled, in the event of power outage, the stream will be automatically restored after the switcher is powered ON again.
Resolution	ResolutionThe first step of encoder setup is to adjust the image size. It is best to either match your original video source or scale it down. For example, capture at HD 720 and stream at HD 720. Or capture at HD 720 and stream at 540 (high).You should never be scaling up and streaming at a higher resolution than your original video source. For example, it does not make sense to capture at 720 and stream at 1080. Note that you will also have no gain in quality and you are using more bandwidth than is necessary for your viewers.You should also be aware that higher resolutions require greater processing power to encode the stream.Attempting too high of a resolution on too little processing power can result in degraded image quality and corrupted or interrupted streams or recordings.
	Frame RateSelect a frame rate from the drop-down menu for video streaming. Note that frame rates should always match the frame rate of the video source.
	ProfileProfile sets the H.264 encoding profile for your stream. The available options areBaseline, Main, andHigh. Typically, Highprofile provides the best image quality and is suitable in most instances. However, depending on the decoder used when viewing the stream, such as with mobiles devices, a Main or Baseline profile may be required.
	Video Bitrate (bps)The bitrate of the video specifies the amount of information stored in the video. The higher the bitrate is, the clearer the video is. However, when choosing your encoding settings for streaming, you should first check your available upload bandwidth. A good rule of thumb is for the bitrate of your stream to use no more than 50% of your available upload bandwidth capacity on aDEDICATEDline. For example, if the result you get from a speed test shows that you have 2Mbps of upload speed available, your combined audio and video bitrate should not exceed 1Mbps.Usually high bitrate means good image quality; however, there are also exceptions. For example, SD video may appear acceptable at 1000 Kbps (1M) but HD video is unacceptable at 1000 Kbps. Therefore we recommend the following settings for your video bitrate:When NVS-31 is in record-only mode, the recommended video bitrate is 16 Mbps.When NVS-31 is in stream-only mode, the recommended video bitrate is 10 Mbps.When NVS-31 streams and records simultaneously, sum of the stream and record video bitrates should not exceed 12Mbps.
	Audio Bitrate (bps)The NVS-31 offers the user the following audio bitrates at which you may want to stream the audio. It is recommended to select 128Kbps or higher.
GOP60180160140120100605030252015105321	GOPGOP pattern with longer GOP length encodes video very efficiently. Shorter GOP lengths usually work better with video that has quick movements, but they do not compress the data rate as much. Depending on your applications, the NVS-31 offers the user 16 GOP sizes ranging from 1 to 180.
Stream Settings
	Stream TypeThe NVS-31 offers the user six stream types. There are RTSP, RTMP(S), TS, HLS, SRT and Youtube.Please note that when streaming, the NVS-31 converts video into data, which are sent across an IP network. High bitrates consume more bandwidth across the IP network. In a gigabit office LAN, high bitrate may not be a concern and Speed/Bandwidth is therefore not a limitation in an NVS-31 application environment.If your available bandwidth is limited, you should reduce both your resolution and your bitrate accordingly. A good rule of thumb is for the bitrate of your stream to use no more than 50% of your available upload bandwidth capacity on a dedicated line. For example, if the result you get from a speed test shows that you have 2Mbps of upload speed available, your combined audio and video bitrate should not exceed 1Mbps.

Example of tally connections

Appendix 2 GPI / GPO Connections

The HS-3200 can control external recorder/playback devices like the HDR-45 and HDR-55 via a simple contact closure GPI / GPO switch.

The GPI interface is a 3.5mm Jack Socket which is situated on the rear panel of the HS-3200. Contact closure between the Outer and Inner contacts on the jack plug will trigger a user selected event. Power is supplied by the HS-3200 and is less than 5V DC.

This GPI socket can also be used as a GPO socket to trigger record or playback events with other equipment such as the Datavideo HDR-70 recorder.

SAFETY FIRST The cabling required needs to be designed specifically to connect the HS-3200 to the chosen record or playback device as they are not all the same. The cabling required can be made by yourself or a competent technician. Please speak with your Dealer or local Datavideo office to get further help and advice.
