Keyboard Controls
Audio Input Source Selectors and Level Controls
This section of the HS-2000 controls which audio input channel (CH1~CH4)
will be sent to the Audio Bus and its associated Fader.
This row of audio channel selection buttons has LEDs built in to show which
input channel is active. Level control for each audio input source is via the
rotary pots above each of the audio channel selection buttons.
A+V: When this button is engaged or lit, the audio associated with a selected
video input source automatically follows the video through any transition
between the Main and Sub Sources. When the A+V button is inactive, the
audio sources must be switched manually. For more information, see A+V
(Page 19).
Audio LED Meters
These meters play a vital part in correctly setting the audio levels to avoid
clipping or other distortion.
The LED style Audio meters, show the signal strength at the Audio Output.
The signal they measure is determined by the sources selected by the Audio
Bus selectors and the levels set by the rotary pots and faders.
Audio Monitor Button
Use the Headphone section to monitor any of the sources (CH1, CH 2, CH3,
CH4) or “Master” output. Repeated presses of the Audio Monitor button will
cycle through the monitoring choices. In many cases, headphones may be a
more useful and accurate choice than speakers for audio monitoring.
System Configuration Menu
Press the Menu button in the HS-2000 function section to enter the System
Configuration Menu. Press the up, down, left, and right arrow buttons to
navigate the menu options and to change values. Use the ENT button to

If you want to enable the PIP function, you must first press the SET key, then
press the PIP PVW key and then select the Sub Source button for the PIP
window. The size and position of the window can be set within the System
Configuration Menu. See PIP SETTING (Page 16)
PIP PVW
Allows the user to see what the PIP window will look like and make any
adjustments before the PIP window is taken to the PGM output. Pressing the
PIP PVW button toggles the PIP window on and off using a simple dissolve.
PIP PGM
Once the PIP window is ready to be taken to air the PIP PGM button will
allow a simple dissolve in and out over the top of the current program output.
Transition Speed
Five buttons used to choose different speeds for a transition effect when
using the TAKE button to switch between PVW and PGM sources.
Transition Effects
There are 10 Transition Effects keys. Six of these keys relate to the available
types of WIPE effect. INV (Invert) changes the direction of the chosen WIPE.
SFT changes the softness of the WIPE edge. FRZ freezes the current PGM
image until toggled off or CUT away. MIX is a dissolve effect between the
PVW and PGM sources.
For more information, see Transition Effects (Page 14).
CUT
Forces an immediate switch between the selected main and sub sources.
The selected sub source becomes the main program output with no
transition effect applied.
TAKE
Starts an automated switch between the main and sub sources. The
selected sub source becomes the main program output with the selected
Transition Effect applied at the selected Effect Speed.

10
T-Bar
The T-Bar is used to carry out a manual transition such as a wipe, fade,
mix or key. When it has travelled as far as it can go the transition is
complete.
How to calibrate the T-bar:
1. Turn off the HS-2000 power, and push the T-Bar up as far as it can go to
its Top or AIR position then move the T-Bar back down by 2mm.
2. Press and hold in the SET and SUB SOURCE 1 buttons at the same time.
3. Have a colleague turn on the HS-2000 power. When the SET button and
SUB SOURCE 1 buttons are illuminated yellow release both buttons.
4. Push down the T-Bar as far as it can go to its bottom or PVW position and
then move the T-Bar back up by 2mm. Now press the CUT button.
5. Again push the T-Bar up as far as it can go to its Top or AIR position. Now
press the TAKE button.
6. Press SET button again to end the calibration process.
WARNING: If you do not follow the T-Bar calibrating steps correctly the
T-Bar may work incorrectly
Main Source
Used to select which of the source input channels or backgrounds that are
sent to the Main video PROGRAM output.
Sub Source
Used to select which of the source input channels or backgrounds will be
transitioned to or used as a sub source in an effect such as PIP.
Audio mixer
These CH1~CH4 Audio Level Faders are for controlling the CH1~CH4 audio
mix.
These faders correspond to the Audio Source selector buttons and control
the relative volume of each input in the master output as well as the master
output level. They are called faders because they are used to decrease
(rather than increase) the signal levels to create a balanced and pleasing
mix. When the CH1~CH4 Audio Level Faders are set at -6dB, or Unity, they
pass the audio signal through at the same level as when it entered the bus.
This is why the level setting at the Input Bus is so important.
MASTER
This Slider is for controlling the audio level for the Mixed audio output.
Headphone
Accepts a stereo mini jack plug for stereo headphones. Used with the Audio
Monitor Button. The headphone volume is adjusted by the rotating Head
phone volume control.
Headphone Volume Control
Controls Headphone volume level.
Use the Headphone section to monitor any of the sources ( CH1, CH2,
CH3, CH4 or “Master” ) output.

The HS-2000 supports four XLR Balanced Audio Input channels.
NOTE: Audio cannot be de-embedded by the HS-2000 from a HD-SDI input and Audio will not be
embedded into the HS-2000’s HD-SDI PGM outputs.
There are two kinds of switches next to each XLR input under AUDIO IN: The LINE/MIC switch is used to
set the audio as LINE in or MIC in. When LINE in is selected please also set the 48V ON/OFF switch to OFF
in order to prevent burn-out damage to the audio circuit/Mic*.
The 48V ON/OFF switch is for Phantom power. If you want to use MIC in, please set the LINE/MIC switch
first, and then if using a Condenser microphone* turn ON the 48V ON/OFF switch. Or if you wish to use a
Dynamic microphone please turn OFF the 48V ON/OFF switch.
*NOTE: Always double check the manual for the microphone being used to see what advice it gives
regarding power as some MICs have internal batteries too.
Audio Outputs
There are two XLR audio output channels A and B. These can act as a stereo pair or as a dual mono output
depending on the stereo mono switch setting. See page 13 also.
A+V Button
The Audio Input Channel Selectors and Level pots are the first
stage in the audio signal path. Each channel carries the audio
associated with a video input channel. When the A+V button is
active, the audio follows the video through a transition. This
means that when this LED is lit, only one channel of the Audio
input section (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4) can be active at a time.
When the transition is a CUT, the audio will switch over abruptly
at the same time.
Try this: With the A+V button engaged or lit, select Channel 2 on the Main Source bus (of course, you must
have a valid video and audio source connected). Notice that CH2 is lit in the Audio Source section. Now,
select channel 1 on the Sub Source bus. Work the T-Bar to manually perform a transition from CH2 to CH1
and listen for the Audio Input Source channel changing from CH2 to CH1 also.
When the A+V button is not engaged or off, you can manually select which of the 4 Audio input channels will
be applied to the audio out connections. In fact, you have to select one or more of these channels, or there
will be no audio present at the audio out connections.
The A+V button should be inactive while doing level settings at the beginning of a session so that you can
select an input and adjust the initial audio level correctly.

HS-2000 Configuration Utility
This Configuration Utility software allows a PC (running Windows XP Professional) to make changes to the
mixer*. A cable needs to be connected between the RS-232 port on the rear of the HS-2000 and the PC
COM1 Serial port.
This software Utility is free and can be downloaded from the following web page
http://www.datavideo.info/en/Mixer%20-%20Switchers/SE-2000
Once downloaded, run the install wizard and follow the on-screen prompts. The software installation will
leave an Icon on the PC desktop as above. With the HS-2000 connected to the PC via an RS-232 cable, the
initial utility screen will be displayed as above, when the program is launched.
Storing New Logos
The Configuration Utility software allows a Windows XP Professional PC to make changes to the Logos
stored within the 14 memory slots of the HS-2000 mixer. This is done from the Logos tab shown below.
New Logos to LOAD and WRITE into these memory slots MUST be 256 x 192 pixels. Your new Logo needs
to be created in a graphics software package first as a TGA 32bit or BMP 24bit file with a clear Alpha
Channel background. The graphics software to create your Logo image is not supplied by Datavideo.
* We recommend that you only use the HS-2000 Configuration Utility to add/write new Logos as changing any
other settings without guidance may cause the mixer or its set up menus to become un-usable.
