1. Input Cards (In-A, In-B, In-C, In-D): stand for 4 input cards
accordingly, when pressing a button to select a card, if the red light of
the indicator is on, it means the operation of the current input card is
valid.
2. Input Card Sources (Video, VGA, DVI, SDI): input signal select,
when selecting an input signal, if the green light of the indicator is on,
it means the signal is available, otherwise the light will flicker.
3. PIP: turn on or off the picture-in-picture function. If the indicator is on,
it means signals are selected, otherwise it will flicker. The signal for
sub picture (PIP) can be selected by pressing a button in “Input Card
Sources” and it can be same as or different from the signal for main
picture.
4. Text: turn on or off text overlay. It is used to overlay the current image
with text, logo or video. If the indicator is on, it means the signal is
selected, otherwise it will flicker. The signal for “Text” can be selected
by pressing a button in “Input Card Sources” and it can be same as or
different from the signal for main picture.
5. Output Cards (Out-K, Out-L): stand for 2 output cards accordingly,
when pressing a button to select a card, if the red light of the indicator
is on, it means the operation of the current input card is valid.
6. Display Channels (CH) (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4): image output
channel select, the indicator green light is on when an output
channel is selected.

LVP8601 User Manual
Image output channel (CH), in the system of this device, is also
interpreted as “image layer”. The device can maximally offer 4 image
layers (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4) which can be overlapped.
7. CH Sources (In1, In2, In3, In4):input channel select for image
layer, the indicator green light is on when a channel is selected.
The input channel for an image layer can be interpreted as the
“source”.
8. CH On/Off: open or close image layers. The indicator red light
indicates its status.
9. Fade: when multiple image layers are overlapped, there is an
overlapping sequence existing among the layers. The device can
adjust the sequence with fading effect, while the button “Fade” can be
used to set the time needed for the effect. It’s only available in
configuration mode 3, 6 and 7.
10. Overlap: turn on the overlap mode and the indicator red light is on.
When it is on, we can directly select one in (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4) to
locate the corresponding image layer on the top. It is only available
in configuration mode 3, 6 and 7.
11. Matrix: turn on the matrix switching mode of output cards and the
indicator red light is on. Press “CH1, CH2, CH3 or CH4” to select an
image layer and “In1, In2, In3 or In4” to select the input channel for
the current image layer.
12. Knob: turn it to adjust the parameters on the menu.
13. OK: press it to confirm the operation.
14. ↑Brt+, ↓Brt-: versatile buttons, “↑” and “↓” are used to select an item
in the menu, while Brt+ and Brt- are used to adjust the brightness.

and rotating the knob.
Each display mode has 4 types of status and its related parameters:
A: Size and location of image layer (input image will be cropped, so
the new size and location will be created and output).
B: Overlapping sequence of image layers
C: Time needed for fade effect of changing the overlapping sequence
D: Matrix configuration of channels for image layers
18. Lock: press the button and when the indicator light is on, all the other
buttons are locked. Press the button again for 3 times, all the other
buttons are unlocked and the light is off.

As shown in the figure, CH1, CH2, CH3 and CH4 stand for 4 internal image
output channels or image layers in the output card. In the control software
interface and on the panel buttons or OSD display, those channels or layers
will be all marked as CH1, CH2, CH3 and CH4;
In1, In2, In3 and In4 stand for 4 input ports for the output card and they can
only be connected to video input cards or DVI straight-through cards (In-A,
In-B, In-C and In-D) through the master matrix (matrix K/matrix L), which is
generated by the master control board.
Out1, Out2, Out3 and Out4 stand for 4 physical DVI output ports of the output
card;
The output card is designed with 6 image display modes and they are named
as configuration modes in this system. There are totally 6 configuration
modes including mode 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7. Customers can select the mode
according to their specific requirements.

In this mode,
Out1=CH1 Out2=CH2 Out3 =CH3 Out4 =CH4
This means:
Output port 1 (Out1) outputs image from image layer 1 (CH1)
Output port 2 (Out2) outputs image from image layer 2 (CH2)
Output port 3 (Out3) outputs image from image layer 3 (CH3)
Output port 4 (Out4) outputs image from image layer 4 (CH4)
In this mode, any image layer (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4) can select any
input channel (In1, In2, In3, In4). Therefore, we need to press “Matrix”
to start the matrix switching mode, press CH1, CH2, CH3 or CH4 to
select the image layer and press In1, In2, In3 or In4 to select the input
channel for the current image layer.
Especially when the same input channel is selected for CH1, CH2, CH3
and CH4 at the same time, each image layer can crop and scale the
image from the input channel, for the purpose of application of 4-output
image mosaic.
By using this mode, LVP8601will be mainly used for seamless matrix
(4X4) switching or scaled image mosaic (4 outputs).
Base on Configuration mode 1 (Config_Mode1), we can switch input
matrix so that each image layer (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4) can select any
input (In1, In2, In3, In4) and in this way we can have many derivation
modes to realize different processing and display effects. For example:

This means:
Out1 outputs image from CH1
Out2 outputs image from CH2
Out3 outputs image from CH3
There is no output from Out4.
In this mode, any output port (Out1, Out2, Out3) can select any input
channel (In1, In2, In3, In4). Therefore, we need to press “Matrix” to start
the matrix switching mode, press CH1, CH2 or CH3 to select output port
(Out1, Out2, Out3) and press In1, In2, In3 or In4 to select input channel
for the current output port.
In this mode, the size and location of output images from Out1, Out2 and
Out4 can be set randomly.
In this mode, input images can be cropped as output images for Out1,
Out2 and Out3.
By using this mode, the LVP8601 will be mainly used as a switcher of 4
inputs and 3 outputs with seamless or fade effect.

(CH1, CH2, CH3);
Out2 outputs the image from CH4;
There are no outputs from Out3 and Out4.
In this mode, any image layer (CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4) can select any
input channel (In1, In2, In3, In4). Therefore, we need to press “Matrix” to
start the matrix switching mode, press CH1, CH2, CH3 or CH4 to select
the image layer and press In1, In2, In3 or In4 to select the input channel

Moreover, in this mode, Out1 outputs the image which is generated by
three image layers overlapped (CH1, CH2, CH3). So we can press
“Overlap” to start the “image overlap” mode and press CH1, CH2 or CH3
to directly locate the corresponding image layer on the top.
In this mode, we can also press “Fade” to set the time for switching of
image layers so as to realize seamless switching or fade effect.
By using this mode, LVP8601 will be used for triple-image display from
single output plus single-image preview or as a switcher of single output
plus single-image preview. The preview is normally output from Out2.

There are not outputs from Out3 and Out4.
In this mode, CH1 and CH2 respectively crop a part or full of In1 and In2.
The cropped images, in special sizes and locations, are edge-blended
and overlapped into a complete one and output from Out1; CH3 and CH4
respectively crop a part or full of In3 and In4. The cropped images, in
special sizes and locations, are edge-blended and overlapped into a
complete one and output from Out2. The settings of size, location, edge
blending and overlap can be found in the setup menu of output card. After
processing, images output from Out1 and Out2 are blended into a
complete one and the display is completely synchronous.
By using this mode, LVP8601 will be used for pixel-to-pixel sync image
mosaic and the maximal resolution supported is 4K x 2K.

Also, an output card in this mode can be configured as one with
quad-image preview. What we need to do is just to start “preview” in
advanced settings of output card.
By using this mode, LVP8601 will be used as a quad-display processor or
