TUNING THE VIDEO GAIN

The VJX16-4 allows you to tune the gain of each of the 4 video tracks in order to amplify or decrease the video signal. To do this, use the 4 GAIN knobs which are located along the top left hand corner of the table:

The gain varies from 0 to 255:

• A gain of 255 amplifies the level of the video signal by 2.
• A gain of 128 corresponds to a unitary gain.
• A gain of 64 diminishes the video signal by half.
• A gain of 32 diminishes the video signal by a quarter, etc.
• A gain of 0 cancels the video input entirely.

To modify these gains, turn the knob that corresponds to the track you wish to edit. The LCD screen will display simultaneously the gain of each of the 4 tracks:

SELECT FUNCTION

The SELECT function allows you to select one of the 4 tracks and control its parameters. Once one track is selected the green LED select button of the corresponding track will be illuminated.

Helpful Hint: If you keep the SELECT button pressed down, the LCD screen will display the global configuration of the selected track.

It indicates:

• The number of the selected track.
• The video input used: In: 1
• The gain of the track selected: G: 122
• The state of the video keyers: Bl: Stamp
• The type of BLEND used: RGB
• If the BCS balance is used on the track: BCS
• If the Keyer is used on the track: Key
• If the Crop function has been used on the track: Crp
• If the FX effects have been used on the track: Fx
• If the Motion effects have been used on the track: Mot
• The state of the transition section: Wipe
• If the Transition section has been used on the track:
  • Wipe: the transition is active but not yet in progress
  • Wipe!: the transition is in progress
  • Wiped: the transition is completed: the video is totally transparent.

Helpful Hint: If audio or BPM extraction are linked with any one of these effects (RGB, BCS, Keyer, Crop, Fx or Motion) a star (*) will appear after the chosen application (RGB*).

The example below shows what the LCD screen would look like if the BPM is linked with the BCS effect on track 2.

The table integrates 2 extensive effect pools:

• Color effects,
• Geometric effects
