MASTER MENU

Introduction:

The MASTER menu allows you to configure the general parameters of the table:

• Configuration of the Human Machine Interface (control panel)
• Re-initialization of the Presets (predefined parameters)
• Configuration of the MIDI inputs/outputs
• Configuration of the video inputs/outputs.

To do this, press the Menu button and use the rotating wheel along with the Back and Enter to navigate the menu. The LCD screen will display the MASTER menu:

• The 1^st line shows the MASTER menu "Master settings".
• On the last 3 lines, you can navigate the drop-down menu with the rotating wheel (JOG).
• If you want to configure one of the parameters of the table, just navigate down the menu until the parameter y ou desire appears next to the cursor. Press the Enter button to configure t he parameter.
• If you want to configure one of the other parameters of the table, just press the Back button until you return to the MASTER menu list.

Helpful Hints:

• Press the Type button of the Transition section, the RGB or BCS button of the Color section, the Fx, Motion or Crop button of the Effects section, the Type button of the Keyer section or the Type button of the Audio section allows you to leave MASTER menu.
• All the effects of general configuration are memorized even after having switched off the power (except for the video colorbar).

Here is a diagram of the MASTER menu:

The VJX16-4 has 2 MASTER (MASTER 1 and MASTER 2) buses, in addition to 16 preview points (see the ARCHITECTURE OF THE VJX16-4 chapter).

Each of the 3 outputs can be configured:

• • either as the main output n°1 (Master1),
  • or as the main output n°2 (Master2),
  • or as the manual preview (Preview),
  • or through the automatic preview (Auto Preview).

A description of the MASTER 1 and MASTER 2 buses is given in the COMPOSITION OF VIDEO TRACKS chapter.

• Configuration of the video standard of the table:

The VJX16-4 can be configured in PAL/SECAM (50 Hz) or in NTSC (60 Hz) thanks to the PAL/NTSC selector on the rear panel. See the Connection chapter for more information.

To display and configure the video standard, go to the Standard menu:

• • When the selector is in the N position (NTSC), all the inputs and outputs are configured in NTSC. The LCD screen then displays the video standard you have selected :

• • When the selector is in the P position (PAL), all the outputs are configured in PAL but the inputs can be configured in PAL or SECAM. The LCD screen then displays the video standard you have selected:

• The red tactile LED buttons (Red LED),
• The green tactile LED buttons (Green LED).

Tip: If you use the machine in bright light or during the day, you will need to increase the luminance of the LED. Whereas using it in a theatre or nightclub (in a dark environment) will need to decrease the brightness to avoid giving off a glare.

Go to the HMI (Human Machine Interface) menu. The LCD screen will then display the general menu for tuning the brightness of the LEDs.

Turn the rotating wheel (JOG) until the cursor is opposite the LEDs. To edit them, press the Enter button. The LCD screen will then display the statistics of the brightness of the chosen LED.

Turn the rotating wheel (JOG) to increase or decrease the brightness o f the LEDs. The brightness is [1 ; 7] in the range of values, 1 being the minimum brightness and 7 the maximum.

Re-booting of the Preset bank:

You can re-boot the whole bank of factory Preset in the table. You then delete all of the user Presets that you may have previously saved. See the PRESET chapter for more information.

Go to the Presets menu. The LCD screen will then display a message confirming that the factory presets have been reset :

Then press the Enter button to re-boot the Presets. Or, press the Back button to cancel. A new confirmation will appear on the screen:
