TRANS (transition) LINK.
6-9-1. BUS LINK

The BUS LINK function allows images to be switched synchronously. For example, when you
change the AUX1 image, the AUX2 image will automatically change accordingly, or when
you change the M/E1PGM image, the M/E2PGM image will automatically change
accordingly. In the above examples, AUX1 and M/E1PGM are called Master Bus and AUX2
and M/E2PGM Slave Bus.
Let’s set up bus link examples that meet the following conditions.
 Required Link Conditions

When M/E1PGM selects IN01, M/E1PST automatically selects IN05.
When M/E1PGM selects IN02, M/E1PST automatically selects IN06.
When AUX1 selects IN01, AUX2 automatically selects IN05.
When AUX1 selects IN02, AUX2 automatically selects IN06.
(1) Open the [SETUP > BUS LINK > BUS LINK SELECT] menu.
(2) Set MASTER BUS to M/E1PGM and SLAVE BUS to M/E1PST as shown below.
(3) Set LINK MODE to NORMAL.

9-9. Modifying Patterns
Preset patterns for pattern transitions can be changed or modified from their original patterns.
There are two types of preset patterns, WIPE and DVE, which undergo different image
processing methods and algorithms and provide different MODIFY menus: WIPE MODIFY and
DVE MODIFY.
9-9-1. Modified Pattern Data

When a next transition button (such as BKGD) is pressed twice, a transition menu (such as
[M/E FLEXaKEY > M/E1 BKGD PGM > TRANS SUB EFF > TRANS]) is displayed and the
selected pattern is shown in the menu page. If the pattern is modified, the letter "M' is added
in front of the pattern number.
M/E FLEXaKEY > M/E1 BKGD PGM > TRANS SUB EFF > TRANS 1/4
30 OFF 0.0 M020
A pattern can be differently modified for the background and KEY1-4 buses, because each
bus has two temporary buffers to store WIPE and DVE pattern data. Note that, however,
modified data will be lost if another pattern is selected for a bus.
The DIRECT patterns allow you to store “pattern and modified information” and to load the
data as needed. (See Sec. 9-8. “Direct Pattern Function.")

11. Assigning DVE Channels
The HVS-2000 has 8 DVE modules as standard: 4 modules each for M/E1 (LINE1) and M/E2
(LINE2). These modules are applied to the BKGD or Key buses as a DVE channel or DVE pattern
to allow various advanced effects. FLEXaKEYs can use DVE effects by assigning DVE channels
available in each M/E.
Up to 4 DVE channels are available for an M/E (M/E1 or M/E2), so that trying to
assign the fifth DVE channel to a bus will fail. In such case, deselect the DVE function
on a bus to release the DVE channel and assign it to the target bus.
11-1. Pattern Transitions with DVE Types

A DVE channel is required for transitions with a DVE pattern (PATTERN 100 and later)
regardless of whether the pattern is modified or not. Two DVE channels are used if BKGD and
KEY1 transitions are performed using DVE type patterns, for example.
See Sec. 9-7. ”Pattern (WIPE/DVE) Transitions” for details on pattern transitions.
 To Release a DVE Channel from a Bus

Change the pattern for the bus from DVE to WIPE type (or transition type from WIPE to MIX or
CUT). Or, turn LINE DVE to OFF for the bus.
11-2. Assigning DVE Channels to Buses (LINE DVE)

LINE DVE is a function that applies DVE effects to individual buses, not patterns, and applies
reduction, enlargement, movement, rotation, lighting, and other effects using the DVE MODIFY
menu. It can be used for the PGM, PST, KEY and FLEXaKEY buses.
For example, the LINE DVE allows you to create PinP images as shown below, by turning on
LINE DVE on the PGM bus, reducing the PGM video size and moving it to the lower-left corner.
PST video PGM video
M/E output image
See Sec. 12. ”DVE Effects” for details on DVE effects.

To verify how many DVE channels are being used on which buses, check the indicators and
button indications as shown below.
 Background (M/E) Bus indications

If a DVE type pattern is selected for the background and WIPE in the transition block is lit, one
DVE channel is used.
Or, if LINE DVE is set to ON (LINE DVE ON/OFF button on the bus row is lit), this indicates a
DVE channel is being used.
 KEY DVE Indicators

If a DVE channel is used on KEY1-4 or FLEXaKEY1-4, the relevant DVE indicator will light.
11-4. Assigning 3D DVE (HVS-2000DVE)

An HVS-2000DVE card is required for 3D DVE effects.
An HVS-2000DVE card adds 4 channels of 3D DVE and allows you to use 3D preset patterns
such as Page Turn and Page Roll and apply Warp or Highlight effects to images.
Before using 3D DVE patterns or effects in a bus, a 3D DVE channel must be assigned to the
bus by changing DVE SETUP to 3D. For example, to assign 3D DVE channel to M/E2KEY1,
proceed as follows.
(1) Open the [M/E FLEXaKEY > M/E2 > KEY1 > MODIFY > DVE INIT/SETUP] menu and go to
PAGE 20.
(2) Turn F1 to change DVE SETUP from 2.5D to 3D.

The original base POSITION of the DVE image is the center of the output screen.
You can set the position of the image by specifying X and Y coordinates, with the
 origin of the axes located at screen-center.
Setting the size allows users to change the size of key images while retaining
aspect ratios. If the value is 1000, the key images will be full-screen size.
105
12-1-1. How to Use the Joystick
The joystick controls Position and Size in the WIPE MODIFY and DVE MODIFY menus. The
following example shows how to set bus and parameter settings by the joystick.
 Changing POSITION X, Y and SIZE for M/E2KEY1 in the DVE MODIFY menu
(1) Tap on the button in the upper right corner of the menu screen to pop-up the JOYSTICK
MENU window.
(2) To select a bus to be set, tap on M/E2 KEY in this example.
If controlling multiple buses, the one last selected becomes the master bus. In such cases,
if ABS (absolute) is set in the DELEGATE block and a parameter is changed in the master
bus, the master parameter value is applied to other bus parameters. If DIF (difference) is
set, the difference between before and after a change in the master bus parameter is
applied to other bus parameters.
Another way to specify a joystick control bus is by pressing a NEXT TRANSITION button.
In this example, press KEY1 to light the LED in the M/E2 transition block.
Note that when the joystick controls multiple buses and cannot change
master bus parameters, other bus parameters will not be changed.
(3) Change the DVE image position by turning the joystick to move up, down, left, or right.
Change the DVE image size by twisting the joystick clockwise or counter-clockwise.
Tapping on the POS_X, POS_Y or SIZE parameter button on the right edge of the screen will
display a prohibited sign on the button and the parameter setting is disabled. Holding down
the button reset the parameter to factory default.
In addition, tapping FINE in the JOYSTICK MENU pop-up window allows you to fine tune
parameters.
