VIDEO OUTPUTS

Organization of video outputs:

The VJX16-4 has 6 video outputs (3 independent outputs: OUT1, OUT2 and OUT3 doubled in Composite and S-Video) to simultaneously connect up to 6 machines (screens, video projectors...).

Layout of video outputs of the VJX16-4

Internally, the VJX14-6 has 2 MASTER buses (MASTER 1 and MASTER 2) which correspond to the main mixing outputs and 16 preview buses as shown in the diagram below.

A description of the MASTER 1 and MASTER 2 buses is given in the paragraph MixMode .

16 preview points are available on the different nodes in the video processing chain:

• Preview of the 4 video tracks before adding color effects (PreFx).
• Preview of the 4 video tracks after adding color effects (PostFx).
• Preview of the video Keyers for each of the 4 tracks.
• Preview of the 4 video tracks after Blends (Out Blend).

Configuration of the video outputs:

Each of the 3 outputs (OUT1, OUT2 and OUT3) can be configured:

• Either as the main output n°1 (Master1) or n°2 (Master2),
• Or in manual preview (Preview) or automatic preview (Auto Preview) on 1 of the 16 preview points.

Helpful Hints: Refer to the MASTER MENU chapter to configure each of the outputs as Master1, Master2, Preview or Auto-Preview.

In automatic preview mode, the table automatically switches to the best adapted preview point for user manageability:

• By default, the automatic preview is always in preview PostFx of the selected tack
• The preview automatically switches to PreFx of the track upon which you change the input
• The preview automatically switches to the track that you have selected with the SELECT button
• The preview automatically switches to Keyer preview of the track on which you are modifying the Keyer

To see how each of the 3 video outputs are configured, hold down the Out1 button (or Out2, or Out3):

When the output is configured in Master 1 or in Master 2, the LCD screen shows only which Master bus is used. The LEDs of the 4*4 matrix are now lit.

When the outputs are configured in manual or automatic preview, the LCD screen shows on the 3^rd line which preview point is used.

One of the red LEDs of the 4*4 matrix lights up to indicate which preview point is used on the selected output. Hold down the Out1 button (or Out2, or Out3) and press one of the 16 buttons of the 4*4 matrix to change the preview point.

The following diagram illustrates how to access the 16 preview points:

Helpful Hint: In the automatic Preview mode, you always have the option to modify the preview point manually.
