UHD Setup and Operation
UHD Quad and UHD 2SI
Working in UHD with Masterpiece, including Masterpiece SD/HD, is as simple as working in any
other video format, the user can select between UHD-Quadrant mode or UHD-2SI mode. The
setup menu structure is easy and intuitive and will allow the user setup UHD with just a few
button presses. UHD demonstrates the power and flexibility of Masterpiece, where the 2x UHD
Key Layers and 1x DSK are available, transitions are easy, a UHD Keyed source such as Clip
transitions or UHD graphics can be keyed over the full UHD screen.
Connecting UHD to the Inputs and Outputs
The first step to understand when using UHD with Masterpiece is how to correctly connect a
UHD source to the inputs and outputs of the mainframe.
Inputs to the Switcher Mainframe
There are 42 inputs on the mainframe, this will give the user 10x - UHD inputs (10 groups of 4
BNC inputs). The 4 quadrants of the UHD source have to be connected to consecutive BNCs so
that the Input Setup menu can be setup correctly (this will be explained in the following
sections).
The 4x UHD quadrants have to be connected in the following order, for example; Input 1 (top
left), Input 2 (top right), Input 3 (bottom left) and Input 4 (bottom right), then the next source
Inputs 5, 6, 7 and 8 following the Grass Valleye quadrant order. So, the first quadrant of each
UHD source is connected to Inputs 1, input 5 and the next Input 9 etc.
Outputs from the Switcher Mainframe
There are 12 outputs from the mainframe, this will allow the user to have 3x - UHD outputs,
PGM (program), PVW (preview) and Clean. Once again, the 4 quadrants of the UHD source have
to connected to consecutive BNCs so that the Output Setup menu can be setup correctly. As
with the input setup, the UHD quadrants have to be connected in the following order, for
example; Output 1 (top left), Output 2 (top right), Output 3 (bottom left) and Output 4 (bottom
right), then the next source Output 5, Output 6, Output 7 and Output 8. So, the first quadrant of
each UHD source is connected to Output 1, Output 5, Output 9.The first quadrant cannot start
at Output 2 or Output 6.
