The Difference Between A/B MIX OUT and PGM OUT

The LVS-800 is equipped with two sets of output connectors. These are the A/B MIX OUT connectors and the PGM OUT
connectors. The A/B MIX OUT connectors output only the results of the mixed video of A Bus and B Bus (A/B MIX). The
PGM OUT connectors output the results of the A/B mix plus your composited logos, text, etc (DSK composition). Final
output fade is enabled only for PGM OUT.

TALLY Output
The LVS-800 is equipped with a D-Sub 15-pin TALLY output connector. Connecting a video monitor capable of tally
input to this makes it possible to illuminate the tally lamps on the monitor. The lamp is switched on and off according to
the channel selection, enabling you to see which channel is currently in use on the monitor.
The pin assignment is as shown below. The LVS-800 uses an open-collector tally output (closed contact).

Turning the Power On/Off
Connecting the AC adaptor

Connect the AC adaptor to LVS-800. Place the AC adaptor so the side with the indicator (see illustration) faces upwards
and the side with textual information faces downwards. The indicator will light when you plug the AC adaptor into an
AC outlet.
fig.connect-PSB7U.eps

About Cord Hook

To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your unit (should the plug be pulled out accidentally), and to avoid
applying undue stress to the AC adaptor connector, anchor the power cord using the cord hook, as shown in the
illustration.
fig.cord-hook.eps
Caution regarding the power supply

Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a discomforting sensation, or perceive that the
surface feels gritty to the touch when you touch this device, cameras connected to it, or the metal portions of other
objects, such as VCRs. This is due to an infinitesimal electrical charge, which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are
concerned about this, connect the ground terminal (see figure) with an external ground. When the unit is grounded, a
slight noise may occur, depending on the particulars of your installation. If you are unsure of the connection method,
contact the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.
fig.earth-terminal.eps
Unsuitable places for connection

•Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
•Gas pipes (may result in fire or explosion)
•Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of lightning)

Turning the Power On/Off
Turning the power on

*Once the connections have been completed (p. 14), turn on power to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong
order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to monitors and other devices.
*This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after power up is required before the unit will operate normally.
Turning the power on

Make sure that the AC adaptor is correctly connected. Press the [POWER] button located on rear panel. It takes few
seconds to boot the system.
fig.power-on.eps
Turning the power off

Press the [POWER] button located on rear panel. Check all indicators/LEDs to turn off.

Switching Between A Bus and B Bus

Input sources are selected and switched between the A Bus and the B Bus. The unit has eight input selectors for each Bus,
and you choose the input video for each bus before you perform the transition.
With the LVS-800, you can switch between A Bus and B Bus in three different modes. Operation of each of these modes is
described below.
•A/B mode This performs switching using the video fader or the [AUTO] button for A/B MIX.
•PGM-PST mode This lets you check the preview picture before switching and perform the transition using the [AUTO] button.
•LVS mode This lets you perform switching directly, using only the input selector buttons.
The results of these operations are output from the A/B MIX OUT connectors. If you want to output the results from the
PGM OUT connectors as well, make the settings described below.
•At [PGM OUTPUT FADE], switch off the [AUTO] button.

•At DSK, for [BACKGROUND], select [A/B MIX].
•Switch off the [AUTO] button for DSK.
Switching the Picture in the A/B Mode
Switching the Picture Using the Video Fader

1. Choose the A Bus and B Bus video.
Select the channels of the video input to A Bus and B Bus. Selecting an input channel makes the LED for the button light
up. For information about what the color of the LED means, see the following page.
fig.AB-source-select.eps
2. Choose the type of transition (transition effect).

If you want to apply a transition effect, use a [TRANSITION] button to choose [MIX], [WIPE1], or [WIPE2]. To apply no
effect, choose [CUT].

Move the video fader. Moving it toward the back of the unit makes more of the picture on A Bus appear, and moving
toward the front displays more B Bus picture.
*If you selected [CUT] in step 2, the picture is switched between A Bus and B Bus at the middle position of the video fader.
*When the same input channel has been selected for A Bus and B Bus, moving the video fader does not affect the output.
fig.move-Tbar.eps
When the video fader has not been moved all the way to the A Bus or B Bus side, changing the input channel for the opposite bus may
cause noise on the output picture. When changing the input channel for the bus on the side opposite the bus displayed, first make sure
that the video fader has been moved all the way to the end of the stroke.
The LEDs of the Input Selector Buttons

Pressing an input selector button for A Bus or B Bus makes the button’s LED light up. The color of the LED may change
to red or green, depending on the position of the video fader. The LED at the end of the stroke to which the video fader
has been moved completely (100% output) lights up in red, and the LED at the opposite end of the stroke (corresponding
to the channel now in standby and providing no output at all) lights up in green. When the control is not completely at
one of these ends, and both buses are producing output, both LEDs light up in red.

2. Set the transition time.

Turn the [TIME] dial to set the transition time. You can set this anywhere within the range of 0 (zero) to 4 seconds. You
can set the transition time at any point along a stepless range.
*If you selected [CUT] in step 1, the time setting has no effect.
fig.time-dial.eps
3. Perform the transition.

Press the [AUTO] button. The TRANSITION indicator shows the shift between A and B.
*When the same input channel has been selected for both A Bus and B Bus, no transition in the video occurs when the button is pressed.
fig.auto-transition.eps
When a transition has been made using the [AUTO] button, the position of the video fader does not match the lighted location of the
TRANSITION indicator. Pulling the video fader back all the way toward the front may result in the indicator lighting up at the A Bus
side.
A Bus is output in this status. To restore the original relation, move the video fader forward and backward all the way.

Switching the Picture Directly (LVS Mode)

When no previewing is needed, you can perform switching by using only the input selector buttons. This lets you execute
a transition more easily and rapidly. You can do this in the LVS mode.
In the LVS mode, B Bus is handled as main video and A Bus is handled as insert video. Moving the video fader to the A Bus side
superimposes the insert video selected on A Bus over the main video of B Bus. P in P (Picture-in-Picture) settings are also enabled.
The video selected for A Bus is output from the A/B MIX PVW connector.
1. Move the video fader to the B Bus side.
2. Select the input channel.

Press the B Bus input selector buttons in succession to switch the video.
*The transition-effect and transition-time settings remain in effect for switching performed in this way. Also note that no channel can be selected for
A Bus while a transition effect is being applied.
fig.select-PGM.eps
When the LVS mode is enabled and the video fader is set to A Bus, using the B Bus input selector buttons to switch the channel makes
the output video change in the sequence shown below.
1.Selected channel on A Bus

2.Previously selected channel on B Bus

Using the Downstream Keyer (DSK)
What’s a Downstream Keyer (DSK)?

A Downstream Keyer (DSK) allows you to superimpose text or graphics over background video. Since the text of
graphics appear “downstream“ from your A/B mix, you can freely switch or mix various video sources behind your
“keyed“ text or graphics.
Generally, elements such as logos and text are composited using DSK. This feature makes it possible to switch the
background video or actuate picture-in-picture while displaying same logos or text in the foreground.
The results of DSK composition are output only via the PGM OUT connectors. No DSK output comes from the A/B MIX OUT
connectors.
fig.DSK.eps

Downstream
26
Trying Out DSK Composition

1. Choose the background picture.
Use the three BACKGROUND buttons to choose the background video. If you want to use the results of the A/B mix as
the background, press the [A/B MIX] button to make it light up. If you want to use source video directly from channel 6
or channel 7 as the background, choose [6] or [7/PC1].
fig.background-select.eps
2. Choose the foreground picture.

Use the three FOREGROUND buttons to choose the video you want to composite and display on the foreground. If you
want to composite a logo, text, or other such element from a computer, press either the [7/PC1] button or the [8/PC2]
button to make it light up. The picture you selected using FOREGROUND is output to the preview monitor via the PGM
PVW connector.
Before you perform composition, check whether the picture from the computer is being output correctly to the LVS-800. Send the output
from channels 7 or 8 to a monitor or projector, and check the picture. The output might not look correct if the proper settings have not
been made on the computer.
fig.foreground-select.eps
3. Decide how the keyed material appears and disappears.

Decide how the picture you selected in step 2 to appears and disappears. Select either [CUT] or [MIX]. Selecting [CUT]
makes the foreground picture appear and disappear instantly. Selecting [MIX] makes it fade in and fade out. You can set
the time for the fade-in and fade-out (from 0 to 4 seconds) by turning the [TIME] dial.
fig.cut-or-mix.eps

MIX Presented by
27
4. Perform composition and output.

Pressing the [AUTO] button for DSK performs composition of the selected FOREGROUND picture superimposed on the
selected BACKGROUND picture. The composited video is output to a projector or other device connected to the PGM
OUT connectors.
fig.DSK-AUTO.eps
5. Adjust the key level.

You can adjust the key level by turning the [KEY LEVEL] dial. Turning it all the way to [MIN] makes no key
composition at all, and outputs the FOREGROUND picture unchanged. At [MAX], keying is maximum, and only the
BACKGROUND picture is output. Find the place where the key level is exactly right.
fig.key-level.eps
By default, black is the key color used in key composition. Keyed material featuring white, yellow or brightly colored (non-dark) text or
logos on a black background produces optimal “overlay” onto your background video. You can also use the menus to select a different
color. Refer to “Changing Settings Using the Menus” (p. 36) and “Menu List” (p. 38).
fig.DSK-image.eps
You can also add edge blur (soft edges) to text or logos displayed in the composited foreground. Edge blur can help reduce jagged, noisy
edges on your key material. The degree of blur is set using the menus. Refer to “Changing Settings Using the Menus” (p. 36) and “Menu
List” (p. 38).
You can also display the FOREGROUND picture as an inset screen using Picture-in-Picture, instead of using key composition. You use
the menus to change the DSK mode. Refer to “Changing Settings Using the Menus” (p. 36) and “Menu List” (p. 38).
28
Combining DSK and Picture-in-Picture

With the LVS-800, you can perform DSK composition, then also apply Picture-in-Picture (PinP). This lets you display
logos or other elements in smaller size and at the place you want on the screen. For information on how to select the
background and foreground video, refer to the previous section.
*When key composition and Picture-in-Picture are used in combination, the Border and Shadow settings assigned to PinP1 through PinP4 have no
effect. Only the settings for location and size are effective.

[MENU] button three times to quit the menu display.
fig.select-PinP4.eps
3. Perform composition and output.

Pressing the [AUTO] button for DSK reduces the size of the FOREGROUND picture according to the setting of PinP1
through PinP4, and performs composition of the FOREGROUND picture superimposed on the BACKGROUND picture.
4. Adjust the key level.

You can adjust the key level by turning the [KEY LEVEL] dial.
29
Applying Fade to the Final Output

You can apply fade-in or fade-out to the output from the PGM OUT connectors (the program output).
Pressing the [AUTO] button for PGM OUTPUT FADE makes the button’s LED flash and starts a fade-out. When the fade-
out has been completed, the button stops flashing and stays lit. Press the PGM OUTPUT FADE button again to start a
fade-in. When the fade-in ends, the LED goes dark.

Troubleshooting
Power Supply
The power does not come on when the POWER switch is turned on.
• Is an AC adapter other than the included one being connected? Use the included AC adapter (Roland PSB-7U).
Video Output
No picture is output.
• If the PGM OUTPUT FADE button illuminated? No video is output while the output fade button is lighted.
“Applying Fade to the Final Output (PGM OUT)” (p. 30)
• Are the selections for the input channels correct? When selecting the input for A Bus or B Bus, selecting a channel that has no input signal
results in no picture being output.
“Switching Between A Bus and B Bus” (p. 16)
• Is any signal being output from the connected camera or playback device? Check the source monitor connected to a MONITOR OUT
connector.
The picture is corrupt.

• Is the selection of NTSC or PAL correct?
“Switching Between NTSC and PAL” (p. 35)
• The signal from the camera or other source device may be below the threshold value. Go to the “Utility” menu and try adjusting the “Video
Sync Threshold” setting.
• A weak incoming video signal can cause PGM output to be black-and-white or distorted. Make sure your video source devices and cabling
are providing adequate video signal.
• Is a moving image being input from a computer? Flicker or skew may occur in moving images input from a computer. This is called tearing,
and does not indicate an equipment malfunction.
• Was the input channel for one bus changed while the video fader was at a position short of fully moved to the opposite end? When you’re
switching the input channel for the bus other than the one displayed, first move the video fader all the way to the end of its stroke.
Operating the video fader does not change the picture.

• Is the same input channel selected for A Bus and B Bus? If the same input channel has been selected, operating the video fader does not
change the output picture.
• Is the operation mode set to the PGM-PST mode? In this mode, only button operations can be used to change the picture. Operating the video
fader has no effect.
“Use in Other Operation Modes Besides the A/B Mode” (p. 19)
• The video fader might not be calibrated correctly. To perform calibration, go to the “Utility” menu and execute “Video Fader Calibrate” (A
and B). Move the control all the way to the A Bus end and execute “Video Fader Calibrate A,” then move it all the way to the B Bus end and
execute “Video Fader Calibrate B.”
DSK
Logos or text from a computer are not displayed.
• Is the video output from the computer in a format that the LVS-800 does not support? Change the settings on the computer to enable output
in a supported format.
“Connecting Computers” (p. 11)
• Is the input from the computer selected as the FOREGROUND picture? No key composition is applied to the BACKGROUND picture.
• Is KEY LEVEL for DSK set at MAX? Turning the dial all the way to MAX makes the picture set as FOREGROUND disappear from view.
“Trying Out DSK Composition” (p. 27)
Composition with the background picture does not look correct.

• Has the color to use for key composition been set correctly? By default, black is used for composition. Inputting a background image of a
color other than black results in incorrect compositing with the background picture. Go to the “DSK Setup” menu and use “DSK Key Mode”
to change the color to use for key composition.
“Trying Out DSK Composition” (p. 27)
44
Troubleshooting
Others
Menu settings are not saved.
• Was the power turned off before you quit the menu display? The values of menu settings are saved in internal memory when you exit the
menu. To save the values of settings after making any changes, first quit the menu display before you switch off the power.
Settings cannot be saved to a PANEL PRESET.

• Do the controls allow their states to be saved? For some controls, saving the current state is not possible.
• Was the button used as the destination for saving held depressed until all PANEL PRESET buttons started to flash? Holding down the button
for several seconds makes the buttons flash and saves the settings in internal memory, but the values are not saved until the buttons flash.
“Saving Settings to PANEL RESET Buttons” (p. 31)
• Is Memory Protect set at the “On” setting? Go to the “Utility” menu, choose “Memory Protect,” and select “Off.” The unit cannot be returned
to its factory-default state.
• Is Memory Protect set at the “On” setting? Go to the “Utility” menu, choose “Memory Protect,” and select “Off.”
