Frequently Asked Questions - LVS-800 ROLAND

How do I switch between NTSC and PAL on the LVS-800?

Hold down the A/B MIX and 7/PC1 buttons on the DSK section while powering on for NTSC. For PAL, hold A/B MIX and 8/PC2. You can also change via the Utility menu > NTSC/PAL setting.

What is the difference between A/B MIX OUT and PGM OUT?

A/B MIX OUT outputs only the mixed video from A Bus and B Bus. PGM OUT outputs the final program including DSK composition (logos, text) and output fade. DSK is only applied to PGM OUT.

How do I use the Downstream Keyer (DSK) to superimpose text?

Select the background using the three BACKGROUND buttons (e.g., A/B MIX, 6, or 7/PC1). Choose the foreground (text source) using FOREGROUND buttons (7/PC1 or 8/PC2). Set transition (CUT or MIX) and press DSK AUTO. Adjust key level with the KEY LEVEL dial.

How can I save and recall panel settings?

Press and hold a PANEL PRESET button (1-6, or Shift+7-12) for three seconds until all buttons flash to save. To recall, simply press the desired button. Saved settings include bus selections, PinP, transition type, DSK state, and video fader position (internal).

Why is there no picture on the output?

Check if the PGM OUTPUT FADE button is lit (it mutes output). Ensure input channels are correctly selected and have valid signals. Verify the monitor is connected to the correct output (A/B MIX OUT or PGM OUT). Also confirm the video format (NTSC/PAL) matches your sources.

How do I perform a Picture-in-Picture (PinP) composition?

Select the inset source on A Bus and background on B Bus. Press one of the four PinP buttons to choose the inset position. Move the video fader to the A Bus side to display the inset. In PGM-PST mode, use the AUTO button after previewing.

Can I connect a computer to the LVS-800?

Yes, use the PC1 and PC2 D-Sub 15-pin inputs. The built-in scan converter supports various resolutions up to 1600x1200/60Hz. Note that S-Video input on channels 7/8 takes priority over RGB if both are connected.

How do I clean the LVS-800?

Use a soft, dry cloth for regular cleaning. For stubborn dirt, lightly dampen the cloth with water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol, or solvents as they may discolor or deform the surface.

What are the safety precautions I should follow?

Always use the supplied AC adaptor (PSB-7U). Do not open or modify the unit. Avoid exposure to moisture, heat, dust, or vibration. Unplug the unit during lightning storms or when not in use for extended periods. Keep children away from small parts and cords.

How do I reset the unit to factory defaults?

Go to the menu and select 'Factory Reset'. Confirm by choosing 'Yes [ENTER] SW'. Note that this erases all saved panel presets and menu settings except NTSC/PAL and video fader calibration. Ensure Memory Protect is off before resetting.

Connecting Output Devices

You can connect displays or capture devices to the A/B MIX OUT in order to view or capture the output of the A/B mix only (no DSK). You should connect displays or capture devices to the PGM OUT jacks in order to view or capture the final mix of A/B mix plus DSK. You can connect source monitors to the MONITOR OUT jacks to have at-a-glance monitoring of all your input sources. Monitors connected to the A/B MIX PVW or PGM PVW jacks will allow you to preview sources.

*When computers are connected to the PC1 and PC2 input connectors, the scan-converted video signals are output from the 7/PC1 and 8/PC2 output connectors.
*The output from A/B MIX PVW displays on-screen menu items in addition to the video before transition.

TALLY Output

The LVS-800 is equipped with a D-Sub 15-pin TALLY output connector. Connecting a video monitor capable of tally input to this makes it possible to illuminate the tally lamps on the monitor. The lamp is switched on and off according to the channel selection, enabling you to see which channel is currently in use on the monitor.

The pin assignment is as shown below. The LVS-800 uses an open-collector tally output (closed contact).

*Connecting a video monitor capable of tally input requires a cable that must be obtained separately.

Connecting the AC adaptor

Connect the AC adaptor to LVS-800. Place the AC adaptor so the side with the indicator (see illustration) faces upwards and the side with textual information faces downwards. The indicator will light when you plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

About Cord Hook

To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit (should the plug be pulled out accidentally), and to avoid applying undue stress to the AC adaptor connector, anchor the power cord using the cord hook, as shown in the illustration.

Caution regarding the power supply

Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device, cameras connected to it, or the metal portions of other objects, such as VCRs. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see figure) with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a slight noise may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information" page.

Unsuitable places for connection

• Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
•Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)
- Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of lightning)

Turning the power on

*Once the connections have been completed (p. 14), turn on power to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to monitors and other devices.

Switching the Picture Using the Video Fader

1. Choose the A Bus and B Bus video.

Select the channels of the video input to A Bus and B Bus. Selecting an input channel makes the LED for the button light up. For information about what the color of the LED means, see the following page.

2. Choose the type of transition (transition effect).

If you want to apply a transition effect, use a [TRANSITION] button to choose [MIX], [WIPE1], or [WIPE2]. To apply no effect, choose [CUT].

3. Move the video fader.

Move the video fader. Moving it toward the back of the unit makes more of the picture on A Bus appear, and moving toward the front displays more B Bus picture.

*If you selected [CUT] in step 2, the picture is switched between A Bus and B Bus at the middle position of the video fader.
*When the same input channel has been selected for A Bus and B Bus, moving the video fader does not affect the output.

NOTE

When the video fader has not been moved all the way to the A Bus or B Bus side, changing the input channel for the opposite bus may cause noise on the output picture. When changing the input channel for the bus on the side opposite the bus displayed, first make sure that the video fader has been moved all the way to the end of the stroke.

The LEDs of the Input Selector Buttons

Pressing an input selector button for A Bus or B Bus makes the button's LED light up. The color of the LED may change to red or green, depending on the position of the video fader. The LED at the end of the stroke to which the video fader has been moved completely (100% output) lights up in red, and the LED at the opposite end of the stroke (corresponding to the channel now in standby and providing no output at all) lights up in green. When the control is not completely at one of these ends, and both buses are producing output, both LEDs light up in red.

Switching Between A Bus and B Bus

Switching Using the AUTO Button

You can also perform switching simply by pressing the [AUTO] button for A/B MIX, without using the video fader. The video fader itself does not move, but movement between A and B is performed automatically. The location of the light on the TRANSITION indicator shows the movement between A and B.

1. Choose the type of transition (transition effect).

If you want to apply a transition effect, use a [TRANSITION] button to choose [MIX], [WIPE1], or [WIPE2]. To apply no effect, choose [CUT].

    note right of L: 'The video switches using box wipe from center (factory default setup)'

2. Set the transition time.

Turn the [TIME] dial to set the transition time. You can set this anywhere within the range of 0 (zero) to 4 seconds. You can set the transition time at any point along a stepless range.

*If you selected [CUT] in step 1, the time setting has no effect.

3. Perform the transition.

Press the [AUTO] button. The TRANSITION indicator shows the shift between A and B.

*When the same input channel has been selected for both A Bus and B Bus, no transition in the video occurs when the button is pressed.

NOTE

When a transition has been made using the [AUTO] button, the position of the video fader does not match the lighted location of the TRANSITION indicator. Pulling the video fader back all the way toward the front may result in the indicator lighting up at the A Bus side.

A Bus is output in this status. To restore the original relation, move the video fader forward and backward all the way.

Use in Other Operation Modes Besides the A/B Mode

Changing the Operation Mode

Changing the operation mode is accomplished using the menus. For more information about how to do this, refer to "Changing Settings Using the Menus" (p. 36).

*The on-screen menu will only appear on a monitor connected to the A/B MIX PVW jack.

1. From the menu, select "Panel Mode Setup."

Press the [MENU] button to display the menu screen. From the list that appears, choose "Panel Mode Setup," then press the [ENTER] button.

2. Choose "PGM-PST Mode" or "LVS Mode."

• PGM-PST mode This lets you use the [AUTO] button for A/B MIX to execute a transition after checking the preview video.
• LVS mode This lets you perform a transition directly using the input selector buttons.

3. End the menu display.

Press the [MENU] button several times to make the menu display disappear.

The Names of the Buses in the PGM-PST Mode

When the operation mode is changed to the PGM-PST mode, the names of the buses also change. "A" becomes "PGM," and "B" becomes "PST."

Switching After Monitoring the Preview Picture (PGM-PST Mode)

In the PGM-PST mode, before you perform a switch, you can check the video on the preview monitor, then use the buttons to execute the transition. The preview picture is displayed on the preview monitor connected to the A/B MIX PVW connector.

1. Choose the type of transition (transition effect).

If you want to apply a transition effect, use a [TRANSITION] button to choose [MIX], [WIPE1], or [WIPE2]. To apply no effect, choose [CUT].

2. Set the transition time.

Turn the [TIME] dial to set the transition time. You can set this anywhere within the range of 0 (zero) to 4 seconds. You can set the transition time at any point along a stepless range.

*If you selected [CUT] in step 1, the time setting has no effect.

3. Choose the video channel on the PST side.

The picture on the selected channel is output to the preview monitor connected to the A/B MIX PVW connector. The selected video is not output to A/B MIX OUT or PGM OUT at this stage.

Press the [AUTO] button for A/B MIX. The video you selected in step 3 is output from the A/B MIX OUT and PGM OUT connectors. As this happens, the corresponding input LED is lit on the PGM Bus to indicate that the selected input is now active. PGM Bus will always indicate the currently active input being sent to the PGM outputs. In the PGM-PST mode, the TRANSITION indicator and the button LEDs work as shown below.

Switching the Picture Directly (LVS Mode)

When no previewing is needed, you can perform switching by using only the input selector buttons. This lets you execute a transition more easily and rapidly. You can do this in the LVS mode.

MEMO

In the LVS mode, B Bus is handled as main video and A Bus is handled as insert video. Moving the video fader to the A Bus side superimposes the insert video selected on A Bus over the main video of B Bus. P in P (Picture-in-Picture) settings are also enabled.

MEMO

The video selected for A Bus is output from the A/B MIX PVW connector.

1. Move the video fader to the B Bus side.
2. Select the input channel.

Press the B Bus input selector buttons in succession to switch the video.

*The transition-effect and transition-time settings remain in effect for switching performed in this way. Also note that no channel can be selected for A Bus while a transition effect is being applied.

NOTE

When the LVS mode is enabled and the video fader is set to A Bus, using the B Bus input selector buttons to switch the channel makes the output video change in the sequence shown below.

1. Selected channel on A Bus
   2.Previously selected channel on B Bus
2. Newly selected channel on B Bus

*At step 2, the picture is displayed briefly, then immediately changes to 3.

*Between 1 and 2, the transition-effect and transition-time settings have no effect.

*between 2 and 3, the transition-effect and transition-time settings are applied.

Let's say that you have selected input 2 on A Bus and input 1 on B Bus, and the video fader is set to A Bus. In this state, the video for input 2 is output. If you now change the selected channel for B Bus from input 1 to input 3, the output picture changes in the sequence shown below.

Using Picture-in-Picture to Composite Two Screens

You can apply Picture-in-Picture to create a small window of one source superimposed over another source.

Composition in the A/B Mode or LVS Mode

The A Bus video is the inset screen, and is displayed over the B Bus video (the background).

1. Choose the picture to display in the inset screen.

Choose the channel of the video to display in the inset screen on A Bus.

2. Choose the picture to make the background.

Choose the channel of the video for the background on B Bus.

3. Press a [P in P] button.

Press any of the four [PinP] buttons. The location where the inset screen is displayed varies depending on the button you press.

The [A] in the square on the panel indicates the location of the inset screen.

MEMO

Pressing the illuminated [PinP] button a second time cancels the selection and makes the button go dark. The picture on the inset screen displayed changes to a full-screen display.

Switching Between A Bus and B Bus

4. Move the video fader to the A Bus (inset screen) side.

Move the video fader to the A Bus side. The inset screen appears.

*The way the inset screen comes into view differs according to the transition-effect setting. When [CUT] has been selected, it remains hidden until the middle position is reached, and is displayed thereafter.

5. Move the video fader to the B Bus (background) side.

Move the video fader to the B Bus side. The inset screen disappears.

*The way the inset screen disappears from view differs according to the transition-effect setting.

TIP

You can apply Picture-in-Picture by using the [AUTO] button for A/B MIX, without operating the video fader.

TIP

You can also change where the inset screen is displayed while Picture-in-Picture is being applied. Pressing a different [P in P] button from the one you chose in step 3 changes the display location.

NOTE

In the LVS mode, using a B Bus input selector to change the background picture during display of an inset screen makes the displayed inset screen disappear. If this happens, move the video fader to the B Bus side, then move it back to the A Bus side. Returning it to the A Bus side makes the inset screen reappear.

In the A/B mode, changing the background does not make the displayed inset screen disappear.

NOTE

The only transition effects available for selection during Picture-in-Picture composition are [MIX] and [CUT]. Selecting [WIPE1] or [WIPE2] is not possible.

6. Make the inset screen disappear.

Press the [AUTO] button for A/B MIX to make the inset-screen picture disappear.

*The way the inset screen disappears from view differs according to the transition-effect setting. When [CUT] has been selected, it disappears instantly when the [AUTO] button for A/B MIX is pressed.

TIP

You can also change where the inset screen is displayed while Picture-in-Picture is being applied. Pressing a different [PinP] button from the one you chose in step 3 changes the display location.

What's a Downstream Keyer (DSK)?

A Downstream Keyer (DSK) allows you to superimpose text or graphics over background video. Since the text of graphics appear "downstream" from your A/B mix, you can freely switch or mix various video sources behind your "keyed" text or graphics.

Generally, elements such as logos and text are composited using DSK. This feature makes it possible to switch the background video or actuate picture-in-picture while displaying same logos or text in the foreground.

NOTE

The results of DSK composition are output only via the PGM OUT connectors. No DSK output comes from the A/B MIX OUT connectors.

2. Choose the foreground picture.

Use the three FOREGROUND buttons to choose the video you want to composite and display on the foreground. If you want to composite a logo, text, or other such element from a computer, press either the [7/PC1] button or the [8/PC2] button to make it light up. The picture you selected using FOREGROUND is output to the preview monitor via the PGM PVW connector.

NOTE

Before you perform composition, check whether the picture from the computer is being output correctly to the LVS-800. Send the output from channels 7 or 8 to a monitor or projector, and check the picture. The output might not look correct if the proper settings have not been made on the computer.

    I["A-USB"] --> J["A/B MIX"]
    K["B-USB"] --> L["A/B MIX"]

3. Decide how the keyed material appears and disappears.

Decide how the picture you selected in step 2 to appears and disappears. Select either [CUT] or [MIX]. Selecting [CUT] makes the foreground picture appear and disappear instantly. Selecting [MIX] makes it fade in and fade out. You can set the time for the fade-in and fade-out (from 0 to 4 seconds) by turning the [TIME] dial.

Using the Downstream Keyer (DSK)

4. Perform composition and output.

Pressing the [AUTO] button for DSK performs composition of the selected FOREGROUND picture superimposed on the selected BACKGROUND picture. The composited video is output to a projector or other device connected to the PGM OUT connectors.

5. Adjust the key level.

You can adjust the key level by turning the [KEY LEVEL] dial. Turning it all the way to [MIN] makes no key composition at all, and outputs the FOREGROUND picture unchanged. At [MAX], keying is maximum, and only the BACKGROUND picture is output. Find the place where the key level is exactly right.

MEMO

By default, black is the key color used in key composition. Keyed material featuring white, yellow or brightly colored (non-dark) text or logos on a black background produces optimal "overlay" onto your background video. You can also use the menus to select a different color. Refer to "Changing Settings Using the Menus" (p. 36) and "Menu List" (p. 38).

MEMO

You can also add edge blur (soft edges) to text or logos displayed in the composited foreground. Edge blur can help reduce jagged, noisy edges on your key material. The degree of blur is set using the menus. Refer to "Changing Settings Using the Menus" (p. 36) and "Menu List" (p. 38).

TIP

You can also display the FOREGROUND picture as an inset screen using Picture-in-Picture, instead of using key composition. You use the menus to change the DSK mode. Refer to "Changing Settings Using the Menus" (p. 36) and "Menu List" (p. 38).

Combining DSK and Picture-in-Picture

With the LVS-800, you can perform DSK composition, then also apply Picture-in-Picture (PinP). This lets you display logos or other elements in smaller size and at the place you want on the screen. For information on how to select the background and foreground video, refer to the previous section.

*When key composition and Picture-in-Picture are used in combination, the Border and Shadow settings assigned to PinP1 through PinP4 have no effect. Only the settings for location and size are effective.

Keyer only Keyer + PinP

1. From the menu, select "DSK Setup" and "DSP PinP."

Press the [MENU] button to display the menu screen. From the list that appears, use UP or DOWN to highlight "DSK Setup," then press the [ENTER] button. From the list that appears, choose "DSK PinP." After making the selection, press the [ENTER] button.

*The on-screen menu will only appear on a monitor connected to the A/B MIX PVW jack.

2. Decide on the P in P number.

By default, this is set to "Off." Choose the number from "PinP1" to "PinP4". After making the selection, press the [MENU] button three times to quit the menu display.

3. Perform composition and output.

Pressing the [AUTO] button for DSK reduces the size of the FOREGROUND picture according to the setting of PinP1 through PinP4, and performs composition of the FOREGROUND picture superimposed on the BACKGROUND picture.

4. Adjust the key level.

You can adjust the key level by turning the [KEY LEVEL] dial.

Applying Fade to the Final Output

You can apply fade-in or fade-out to the output from the PGM OUT connectors (the program output).

Pressing the [AUTO] button for PGM OUTPUT FADE makes the button's LED flash and starts a fade-out. When the fade-out has been completed, the button stops flashing and stays lit. Press the PGM OUTPUT FADE button again to start a fade-in. When the fade-in ends, the LED goes dark.

If you want to change the fade-in or fade-out time (to any value from 0 to 4 seconds), adjust it using the TIME dial.

MEMO

By default, black is the color used for fades. You can also use the menus to select white. Refer to "Changing Settings Using the Menus" (p. 36) and "Menu List" (p. 38).

You can save the state of various controls to [PANEL PRESET] buttons. Saving lets you call up a variety of settings at the press of a button. The [PANEL PRESET] buttons are numbered from 1 to 12, and let you save up to 12 sets of settings.

You can save the state of the controls described below.

Power Supply

The power does not come on when the POWER switch is turned on.

- Is an AC adapter other than the included one being connected? Use the included AC adapter (Roland PSB-7U).

Video Output

No picture is output.

- If the PGM OUTPUT FADE button illuminated? No video is output while the output fade button is lighted. "Applying Fade to the Final Output (PGM OUT)" (p. 30)

- Are the selections for the input channels correct? When selecting the input for A Bus or B Bus, selecting a channel that has no input signal results in no picture being output. "Switching Between A Bus and B Bus" (p. 16)

- Is any signal being output from the connected camera or playback device? Check the source monitor connected to a MONITOR OUT connector.

The picture is corrupt.

- Is the selection of NTSC or PAL correct? "Switching Between NTSC and PAL" (p. 35)

- The signal from the camera or other source device may be below the threshold value. Go to the "Utility" menu and try adjusting the "Video Sync Threshold" setting.

- A weak incoming video signal can cause PGM output to be black-and-white or distorted. Make sure your video source devices and cabling are providing adequate video signal.

- Is a moving image being input from a computer? Flicker or skew may occur in moving images input from a computer. This is called tearing, and does not indicate an equipment malfunction.

- Was the input channel for one bus changed while the video fader was at a position short of fully moved to the opposite end? When you're switching the input channel for the bus other than the one displayed, first move the video fader all the way to the end of its stroke. "Switching Between A Bus and B Bus" (p. 16)

Operating the video fader does not change the picture.

- Is the same input channel selected for A Bus and B Bus? If the same input channel has been selected, operating the video fader does not change the output picture. "Switching Between A Bus and B Bus" (p. 16)

- Is the operation mode set to the PGM-PST mode? In this mode, only button operations can be used to change the picture. Operating the video fader has no effect. "Use in Other Operation Modes Besides the A/B Mode" (p. 19)

- The video fader might not be calibrated correctly. To perform calibration, go to the "Utility" menu and execute "Video Fader Calibrate" (A and B). Move the control all the way to the A Bus end and execute "Video Fader Calibrate A," then move it all the way to the B Bus end and execute "Video Fader Calibrate B."

DSK

Logos or text from a computer are not displayed.

- Is the video output from the computer in a format that the LVS-800 does not support? Change the settings on the computer to enable output in a supported format.

"Connecting Computers" (p. 11)

- Is the input from the computer selected as the FOREGROUND picture? No key composition is applied to the BACKGROUND picture.

- Is KEY LEVEL for DSK set at MAX? Turning the dial all the way to MAX makes the picture set as FOREGROUND disappear from view. "Trying Out DSK Composition" (p. 27)

Composition with the background picture does not look correct.

- Has the color to use for key composition been set correctly? By default, black is used for composition. Inputting a background image of a color other than black results in incorrect compositing with the background picture. Go to the "DSK Setup" menu and use "DSK Key Mode" to change the color to use for key composition.

"Trying Out DSK Composition" (p. 27)

Others

Menu settings are not saved.

- Was the power turned off before you quit the menu display? The values of menu settings are saved in internal memory when you exit the menu. To save the values of settings after making any changes, first quit the menu display before you switch off the power.

Settings cannot be saved to a PANEL PRESET.

• Do the controls allow their states to be saved? For some controls, saving the current state is not possible.
• Was the button used as the destination for saving held depressed until all PANEL PRESET buttons started to flash? Holding down the button for several seconds makes the buttons flash and saves the settings in internal memory, but the values are not saved until the buttons flash. "Saving Settings to PANEL RESET Buttons" (p. 31)
• Is Memory Protect set at the "On" setting? Go to the "Utility" menu, choose "Memory Protect," and select "Off." The unit cannot be returned to its factory-default state.
• Is Memory Protect set at the "On" setting? Go to the "Utility" menu, choose "Memory Protect," and select "Off."
