The 2 outputs are completely independent. Each output is scalable in a wide
set of formats and available both in DVI digital format and RGBHV analogue
format on connector HDD15p.
Each output channel permits concurrent display of 2 inputs, creating 2
independent windows, MAIN and PIP whose size and position can be set
freely.
The unit performs switching through the Fading, Mixer or Cut effect. Fade and
Mixer time is programmable. These modes are available both in automatic
and in mauial mode. A Preview function is also available to switch the image
of OUT1 on OUT2.
An Overlay function is also available which permits subtitling or overlay
effects between images.
The DVIPRO1000 features 8 different global preset memories that can be
saved and recalled by the user.
The basic commands for control of the machine are available from the
machine keyboard with lighting keys, where an LCD display shows its
complete status.
Using the remote control, it is possible to access all the functions, including
the programming menu.
All functions can also be accessed via a RS232 serial interface and LAN
connection.
The related balanced stereo audio channel is associated to each input.

3.0 CONNECTIONS
Connect the single inputs to the respective connector on the back of the
DVIPRO1000.
For inputs 1 and 2, available only on connector HDD15p, in the case of
connection of Component, YC or CVBS signals, the specific VGA-5BNC type
ADC201 adapter cable must be used on which correspondence is as follows:
GREEN = CVBS, or Y of YC or Y of the component
BLUE = C of the YC or Pb of the component
RED = Pr of the component
For inputs 3, 4, 5 and 6 available on connector HDD15p. and on 3 separate
BNC, connect only one source for each input
For inputs 7 and 8, available on connectors DVI-I, HDMI and 3 separate BNC,
connect only one source for each input
WARNING
Never connect more than 1 source at a time to the universal inputs
in order to prevent damage to the sources or to the DVIPRO1000
Connect the destinations to the related output connectors of the
DVIPRO1000. Resolution can be set for each output . : the DVI and VGA
channels of each output will have the same resolution and setting of the
image.
Connect the inputs and balanced audio outputs on the dedicated terminals.
As regards the HDMI input, as the digital audio signal is already contained in
the HDMI signal, it is not necessary to connect a separate audio signal on IN8
as the DVIPRO1000 is able to decode the audio present in the HDMI signal
and convert this into a traditional analogue signal on the selected output.
If a separate audio is to be associated with the 8 HDMI input, it is necessary
to program the format of input IN8 as DVI instead of HDMI.

An internal red/green/yellow light , with the following scheme;
-Keys from 1 to 8 for both the Out channels : in each row , the
green light is for the Main input , while the red light is for the Pip
input . During the switching phase , the new channel will blink. If both
Main and Pip inputs are the same , then the light will be yellow
(red+green). If Pip is disabled , the red light brightness is lower. In
Mixer and cut modes , the channel Key will blink yellow during the
preparing phase , then it will become green when it is ready to
switch,
-Format key : it will blink during the format selection , together with
the channel key (1 to 8) in programmino.
-Overlay key : red or green or yellow upon the state of the overlay on
the channels (yellow = both channels)

4.2 Definition of input format
To define the format of the inputs, proceed as follows:
Press the “FORMAT” key on the front panel of the machine and, at the same
time, press the key relating to the input to be defined, using either the buttons
relating to OUT1 or OUT2: each time the key of the input is pressed, the
current assignment of the input will be shown on the LCD and on the video. In
this way, it is possible to scroll all the possible formats that can be assigned.
On releasing the “FORMAT” key, the DVIPRO1000 will make the
programming operative and if, at that moment, the channel reprogrammed
was displayed, will refresh the display.
With regard to input 8, if this is used in HDMI format, the related digital audio
stream inserted in the HDMI signal will be automatically decoded by the
DVIPRO1000. If the audio is to be provided separately in analogue format on
input 8 audio, input 8 must be programmed as DVI format.
WARNING
Format changing is possibile only in Fading Mode.
In Mixer and Cut Mode the operation is not permitted
4.3 Source selection
To select the inputs, use buttons 1 to 8 relating to outputs OUT1 and OUT2
on the front keyboard. Switching is performed in a programmable time of 0 to
3 seconds according to Fading, Mixer or Cut mode.
If the input selected is VGA analogue format, at initial power-on of the
machine, an automatic “AUTOADJUST” procedure will be performed for
improved centering of the image on the screen: subsequent switching
operations will not require this phase except in the case in which the format of
the source in input is modified or if it is connected to a new VGA source.
During this phase , the key of the interested channel will blink fast.
4.4 Activation of the PIP and selection of its source
To activate the PIP on an output channel, proceed as follows:
Press the key relating to the channel currently present on the MAIN; holding
down the key, also press at the same time the key relating to the input that is

6.0 DETAILED FUNCTIONS
6.1.1 Selection of MAIN channel
Using the two sets of 8 keys, one set for each output, it is possible to select
the input to be sent to the output .
6.1.2 Selection PIP channel, PIP activation and PIP mode
To activate or de-activate the PIP on the video, continue to press the “PIP”
key of each output channel. When the PIP is visible, using the “PIP CH” key,
it is possible to enable/disable selection of the channel to be sent in PIP:
when the PIP is highlighted by the blue frame, the set of 8 “input” keys will
operate on selection of the PIP and not of the MAIN.
In the initial phase, the PIP window is positioned to the bottom right of the
video with a size of around 1/16th of the screen. Using the “LEFT ARROW”
key (for output channel 1) or the “RIGHT ARROW” key (for output channel
2), it is possible to scroll the different PIP modes, in particular:
-1 PIP over MAIN 1 small: PIP size 1/64 of the screen
-2 PIP over MAIN 2 average: PIP size 1/16 of the screen
-3 MAIN and PIP side by side full screen
-4 MAIN and PIP side by side proportionally
-5 SUPERIMPOSED: The PIP covers the MAIN
-6 USER MODE: MAIN and PIP dimensions and positions selected by the
user
-7 MAIN over PIP: The windows are exchanged in relation to PIP over
MAIN status
Continuing to press the key, the machine cycles through the different
PIP/MAIN combinations.
The “SUPERIMPOSED” setting is useful in particular when the Overlay/Titling
function is activated and when quick mixing of only two channels is required:
in this particular case, mixed switching is obtained pressing the “PIP” key.
The “MAIN over PIP” setting makes it possible to reverse PIP/MAIN display;
this is useful for also displaying input 7 in PIP when this is programmed as
DVI, a function that the DVIPRO1000 would not permit (see paragraph 4.4).
However, it should be noted that channel switching in this condition generates
an incorrect fade sequence: however, switching is performed normally.
The USER MODE setting permits definition of an arbitrary size and position
for the MAIN and PIP: i.e. accessing the programming menu (see paragraph
7.4).

6.1.2.1 Preview function 1

2
The “UP ARROW” key , pressed out of menu, activates the Preview
function: the whole state of the Output 1 (preview output) is transferred to the
Output 2 (Main output) through a fading transition.
The parameters which are transferred are:
-the Main channel and the Pip channel
-the Pip Mode
-the image parameters
-the volume
This function is always available with the following restrictions:
-at least an output channel in “Mixer” or “Cut” mode
-at least an output channel in’ “Main over Pip” mode
-the preview channel (Out 1) is in “User size” mode, and the two out
channels don’t have the same resolution
N.B. this function is also available from the Keyboard with the “1

2” key
6.1.3 Mute and Freeze conditions
The “MUTE AUDIO”, “MUTE VIDEO” and “FREEZE” keys are used
respectively to disable the audio output, disable the video output and to
freeze the image currently displayed. Each output channel has its own set of
keys which, alternatively, enable and disable the functions. To activate the
FREEZE function on the PIP instead of on the MAIN, it is sufficient that the
PIP window be outlined in blue (“PIP” and “PIP CH” keys as explained in
6.1.2) and to press the “FREEZE” key.
6.1.4 Switching effects (Fading, Mixer, Cut)
The DVIPRO1000 performs “seamless switching” between the channels in
three different ways: Fading, Mixer, Cut. To select the switching method,
continue to press the “EFFECT” button of the output to be worked on: the
mode selected will be shown on the LCD display and video.
-FADE mode: is the default mode. The machine switches through
fading through black with a programmable time of from 0 to 3 sec
-Automatic MIXER mode: in this mode, the effect of Mixing the two
inputs in switching is obtained, with a programmable Mixing time of
from 0 to 3 sec (0 setting corresponds to selection of CUT mode)
-Automatic CUT mode: in this mode, the system switches from the
previous input to the new input with a sharp, seamless cut .

-Manual MIXER and CUT modes : these modes are identical as the
automatic modes , except for ths: when the system is ready to
perform the transistion to the new channel , you have to press again
the channel key : at this point the transistion is performed
immediatly. If you press a channel key which is different from the
previous , the transistion is aborted , and the new channel is
prepared. Thr channel key light blinks yellow during the preparation
phase , then blinks green when it is ready for the transition.
Each time the user returns to default status (Fading), the conditions prior to
entry to Mixer or Cut mode will be restored. Therefore, if the PIP was present,
it will be re-enabled; however, if the input to be displayed had been changed,
the previous input must be reselected.
WARNING
The PIP function is not available in MIXER and CUT modes.
