Chapter 5:
Menus: Video Setup
Self Setup to Bars
Activates Automatic Proc Amp Setup (“Gimme Bars”) mode, in which the luminance
gain, black level, chrominance gain and hue can all be automatically set by the unit
based on incoming SMPTE bars.
To use the “Gimme Bars” automatic setup mode, SMPTE bars (or other 75% bars)
must be supplied to the currently selected video input when this option is selected.
The four proc amp parameters will be automatically adjusted.
This is equivalent to pressing and holding the Luma front-panel button.
More Video Settings
Hot Switch
Specifies what the unit will do when the selected input video signal is lost.
Valid Settings: Off, Freeze, To Black, To Tr. Slide, Goto Comp,
Goto S-Video, Goto CAV, Goto SDI
Default Setting: Off
Related Settings: Hot Switch Delay, Trouble File
When this setting is Off, no action will be taken when the input video signal is lost.
In Freeze mode, the outputs will hold the last good field of the input video signal.
In To Black mode, when the input video signal is lost, the outputs will hold the last
good field of the input video signal for the time specified in Hot Switch Delay, after
which the outputs will fade to black.
In To Slide mode, when the input video signal is lost, the outputs will hold the last
good field of the input video signal for the time specified in Hot Switch Delay, after
which the outputs will fade to a user-specified trouble slide. The trouble slide to be
displayed is selected in the Trouble File option documented later in this section.
When this option is set to Goto Comp, Goto S-Video, Goto CAV, or Goto SDI, the unit
will switch to the specified video input (composite, S-video, component, or SDI,
respectively) when the input video signal is lost. Once this has happened, the video
input selection will NOT switch back to the original video input once video is
restored; it must be manually reset.
Hot Switch Delay
Specifies the length of time, after the input video signal is lost, that the outputs will
hold the last good field of the input video signal before fading to black or a trouble
slide (as specified in the Hot Switch option).
Valid Range: 10 fields to 3600 fields
Default Setting: 120 fields
