use on the Program and Preset row.
2.2.2 Video Transitions
The HS-2850 features six user defined wipe
buttons, an A/B dissolve or MIX button, an INV
or Invert wipes button and a FREEZE button.
All wipes can have an optional colour border
applied. The wipe border width and colour are
chosen within the menu system.
Transitions can be performed manually using the T-Bar or automatically by using the SPEED
and AUTO TAKE buttons.

between Audio Fixed and Audio-F-
Video (A+V).
MIX
Pressing this button selects a
basic A/B Dissolve for the next
transition.
FREEZE
Freeze the program source image or
return to live video of the selected
program source.

17
Transition Effect Indication
The selected transition will be indicated
in the status area of the HDMI multi-
view output. When the INV button is
pressed, the six wipe icons change to
their opposite direction icon.
Triggering the Transition
SPEED
There are three speed buttons which can be defined by the
user. By pressing a speed button the user is choosing the
rate of transition or time taken when using the AUTO TAKE
button.
AUTO TAKE
This performs an automated switch from the current
program source to the selected preset source. The selected
transition wipe or dissolve will also be used. The timing of
the transition is set by the chosen Speed button.
CUT
This performs a simple immediate switch from the current
main source to the selected sub source. The selected
transition wipe or dissolve is not used.
FTB
Fade To Black, this button 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.
T-Bar
This performs a manually controlled transition from the
current program source to the selected preset source. The
selected transition wipe or dissolve will be used. When the
T-Bar has travelled as far as it can go, the transition
between sources is complete. The T-Bar has indicators next
to it, which light when the transition is complete.
The T-Bar can be operated in one of two modes which is
chosen by a menu option, see the section on OSD MENU
options for more details.

18
2.2.3 Logo and Clock
The HS-2850 has the ability to store six static logos and one
dynamic logo. The logo files are transferred to the HS-2850
from a Windows PC using the Ethernet connection and the
supplied SEConfig software. See Chapter 3 for more details on
using this software.
LOGO 1
The LOGO 1 and LOGO 2 buttons are used to display pre-
selected logos on the HS-2850 Preset and Program outputs.
When the button is active the selected logo is shown. These logos are selected from the
switcher’s memory and positioned using a menu option see the section on OSD MENU
options for details.
LOGO 2 or CLOCK
The user cannot display LOGO 2 and CLOCK at the same time. Instead use LOGO 1 and
CLOCK together or use LOGO 1 and LOGO 2 together.
The clock time can be synchronized with a computer or set manually using a menu option.
The colour and font used in the clock digits can be changed using the supplied SEConfig
software. See Chapter 3 for more details on using this software or see OSD MENU Options
onwards for the Clock menu options.
TIMER
In some mixing or switching applications it is useful to have a countdown timer. It could be
that the input is a pre-recorded video clip and you need to know when to be ready to switch
away from it.
This countdown timer function is only seen in the status area of the HDMI multi-view output
to the right of the normal Clock function. The timer can be selected for one input channel,
several channels or all channels.
When the TIMER button is active and the user switches to a selected input channel, the
countdown starts on the HDMI multi-view.
The value of the countdown, in minutes and seconds (MM:SS), is set by a menu option.
Whilst the countdown is in progress, T-Bar operation is ignored.
When the countdown reaches zero, the user can then switch or transition to another input
channel. If the countdown reaches zero the switcher will not automatically change to the
selected Preset source.

19
2.2.4 Picture-in-Picture and Downstream Key
PIP Preset and PIP Program
When looking at the top right corner of the HS-2850 Control
Panel / Keyboard there are four PIP keys. These are labelled
Program and Preset. The upper PIP1 and PIP2 keys relate to
activating Picture In Picture images on the Program outputs. The
lower PIP1 and PIP2 keys relate to activating Picture In Picture
images on the Multi-view or Preview outputs.
Assigning a video source input to a PIP

of input sources will light.
2. While still holding down the PIP button, press to select the required input from the
Preset row.
3. The input will flash to confirm it is selected.
This selection will also be confirmed on the HDMI Multi-view, with a PiP1 or PiP2 label
shown next to the selected input image.
The full PIP process is described in the section on Picture-In-Picture Function.
DSK Preset and DSK Program
When looking at the top right corner of the HS-2850 Control
Panel / Keyboard there are four DSK keys. These are labelled
Program and Preset. The upper DSK1 and DSK2 keys relate to
activating Down Stream Keying on the Program outputs. The
lower DSK1 and DSK2 keys relate to activating Down Stream
Keying on the Multi-view or Preview outputs.
Assigning an input to a DSK channel for keying
Using the lower DSK1 or DSK2 buttons you can assign a selected
video input to the chosen DSK video layer.
1. First press and hold down the required DSK button on the lower row. The Preset row
of input sources will light.
2. While still holding down the DSK button, press to select the required input from the
Preset row.
3. The input will flash to confirm it is selected.
This selection will also be confirmed on the HDMI Multi-view, with a T1 or T2 label shown

20
2.2.5 Frame Store and Audio Control
FS –Frame Store Button
The HS-2850 has eight or twelve video channels, depending on the number of
inputs it has. Each of these channels has its own Frame Store, making a total of
eight or twelve Frame Stores. Each of these Frame Stores can hold one still
image. This still image can be called into the production by using the FS button located at
the top left corner of the HS-2850 Control Panel / Keyboard. The FS button allows the user
to toggle between the still image of the Frame Store or the live video input also 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 light.
2. While still holding down the FS button, press the required input on the Preset row.
3. The input button will flash to confirm the Frame Store is selected.
This selection will also be confirmed on the HDMI Multi-view, with the selected channel
showing the live input or frame store image.
The content of each Frame Store is uploaded to the HS-2850 from a PC. The supplied
SEConfig software is used to do this. The file upload process is described in Chapter 3.
AUX Source Selection
The auxiliary output (AUX) allows you to fix the SDI output onto a particular
input source. The HS-2850 has four user defined SDI outputs, see Section 2.1.1
item 14. One or all of these outputs can be set up as an auxiliary (AUX) output
via a menu option. See OSD MENU Options onwards for details.
The AUX output source can be quickly selected in the following way.
1. First press and hold down the AUX button. The Input 1 and 2 buttons of the Program
row will light up red.
2. While still holding down the AUX button, press either the Input 1 button or the Input
2 button on the Program row.
3. The pressed input button (1 or 2) on the Program row will now flash red along with
one of the input buttons on the Preset row flashing green. The rest of the input
buttons on the Preset row will remain solid green.
4. The green flashing button on the Preset row indicates the selected source of the AUX
output. To change the source, simply press other input buttons.
When you see the selected input button flashing green, your AUX output source is now
assigned and you may release the AUX button to complete the AUX source selection.
