[Power] (power ON) setting
Whether the system is to be started from the [Reset] status,
from the [Preset] status or in the [Demo] mode can be
selected using the rotary 2 control.
With [Reset], the settings except for the event memories,
setup settings, file memory and key learn settings are
initialized.
With [Preset], the mode in which the system is started from
the status prior to power OFF is established when the power
is next turned on.

Setting method in the setting mode
[ME] is selected for Preview so it can be used to check.
1. Press the direct pattern button.
2. The lamp of the selected button flashes.  The [Mix], [Chrm] (chroma) key and [Lum] (luminance) key cannot be set.
3. Use the number keys to input the pattern to be assigned.  (The pattern is displayed in the pattern area.)  The program
output can be checked using the wipe lever. If no status prior to power OFF existed (when, for instance, the system is used for the very first time after assembly or its
memories have been destroyed), the system is started from the factory setting status.
With [Demo], the system starts up in the demonstration mode when the power is next turned on.  This menu is displayed in
the demonstration mode so that when the system is restarted by selecting [Preset] or [Reset], the regular operation screen
will appear.  Alternatively, when [Enter] is pressed, the demonstration mode is suspended and operation is enabled.  To
execute the demonstration mode again, turn the power off and then back on again.  The audio faders can be used even in
the demonstration mode.
The default setting is [Preset].

[Memory] setting
This is used to set the memories used for INTVideo and
DSK.  When the setting is changed, all the memories are
cleared.  How much memory is to be used for [INT V] and
how much for [Title] for DSK and TitleKey is set using the

[System1] setting
This is used to perform a variety of settings.
The rotary 2 control is used to set the amount of delay for
the source input when the [AdvRef] advanced reference
signal is connected with the 3D optional board (AG-VE70)
installed.  If 0Frame is selected, the video delay amount is
different between when the 3D effects are applied and when
they are not.  The default setting is 1Frame.  The setting is
fixed at 0Frame when the 3D optional board is not installed.
The audio source delay amount is also set according to this
setting.
[System2] setting
The time taken until the LCD is set to the power saving
mode can be selected using the rotary 2 control.
With the 0 setting, the display is always on.  The time can
be set in 10-minute increments from 0 to 60.  The default
setting is 0.
[On] or [Off] is selected using the rotary 3 control to set
whether or not cleaning is to be performed inside the vertical
blanking period (VBlk).  The default setting is [Off].

AB (AB bus) or PrgPre (program/preset system) can be

default setting is AB.
[On] (initiate Still) or [Off] (do not initiate Still) when cross
points are to be changed is selected using the rotary 3
control.  The default setting is [On].
The Audio MIX system can be selected using the rotary 4
control. [Sec] (seconds + frames) or [Frame] (frames) only is selected for the time display using the rotary 3 control.  The default
setting is [Sec].
Whether [ME], [DSK] or [Fade] is to be executed by GPI can be set using the rotary 4 control.  The default setting is [ME].
[GVG] or [SONY] can be selected as the RS-422A protocol using the rotary 5 control.  The default setting is [GVG].
[On] or [Off] is selected using the rotary 4 control to set whether or not the [DR] (dynamic rounding) is to be performed.  The
default setting is [On].
[On] or [Off] is selected using the rotary 5 control to set whether restrictions are to be applied to the SDI and component
output chroma.  If [On] has been selected, the chroma is restricted by the 100% color bar level.  The default setting is [Off].

Selecting [Off] for [VBClean] may result in a deviation in the amount of delay between the video signals and vertical blanking
signals depending on the setting for the [Dly] item among the [System1] settings and on whether the 3D optional board (AG-
VE70) has been installed.

At the [CP] setting, two audio sources allocated to the selected cross point are output. At the [1,2] setting, the audio sources
1, 2 allocated to the cross point are mixed at all times.  The default setting is [CP].
[8] or [EXT] can be selected using the rotary 5 control as the setting for the eight tally outputs. At the [8] setting, the tally
signal is output when cross point 8 has been selected; at the [EXT] setting, it is output when EXT has been selected.

When [Still] has been set to [Off], the picture may be disturbed if direct switching is performed between SDI/composite and
YC/component.  This setting must always be used with either an SDI-only/composite system or YC-only/component-only
system.

When the setting is in progress, Event is displayed in reverse video, and the event is then entered using [Enter].  Event
numbers can be incremented and decremented using the “+” and “–” keys.  Empty events are indicated by [E] appearing next
to the event number.
Recall method
Press the [Recall] button, select the event number to be loaded using the number keys, and recall it using the [Enter] or
[AutoTake] button.
Recall button: Its lamp flashes while recall is underway.  It lights when the button is set to ON, and goes off when it is set
to OFF or when the recall is completed.
Since the input settings are not reflected during loading, events are executed in respect of the input set beforehand.
Events 50 to 59, 60 to 69, 70 to 79, 80 to 89 and 90 to 99 can be set consecutively in units of 10 events and also recalled
consecutively so they can also serve as key frame settings.  Events are executed using the [AutoTake] button.  With the
recall of events 50 to 99, the Setup status of the head event is valid.
Clearing events
Set the number of the event to be cleared using [Recall], and execute clearing using [Shift] + [Enter].  Clearing all the events
is possible by inputting a period twice at the recall stage and then pressing [Shift] + [.].  Alternatively, this can be achieved by
starting the system by pressing [Shift] + [Enter] when the power is turned on, and restoring the factory settings.

The time is indicated on the LCD display.  It can also be
input or output using the number keys.
With x:xx displays, it is possible to input [2][.][5] to display
2:05 where [.] is used as a delimiter.

Items selected by ME, DSK or Fade can be set by the rotary controls.  The number keys can also be used when Pattern is
OFF.  The items selected appear on the LCD display.
There are three options—ME, DSK and Fade—and they can be set to OFF by pressing the ON button.  In this case, neither
the rotary controls nor the number keys can be used.
Number key priorities
The number key priorities are: event memories >pattern settings >transition time settings >LCD screen settings.
In the event memories, the number keys cannot be used for pattern settings, transition time settings or LCD screen settings.
