Terms and Definitions  
qÉêãë=~åÇ=aÉÑáåáíáçåë  
The following terms and definitions are used throughout this guide:  
A “Background” is an unscaled source, typically originating from a computer.  
PresentationPRO-II enables you to work with one background source which  
appears at the system’s lowest priority — visually in back of all other sources.  
The abbreviation “BG” is also used throughout this guide for Background.  
A “Key” is an electronic (and visual) process whereby one image is electronically  
superimposed over another source or a background. Keys are typically used for  
titles and banners.  
A “Layer” is an image display element (such as a PIP, Key or Background) that  
has an associated visual priority — either in front (or in back) of another layer.  
A “LOGO” is a full screen image that is selected from one of three still frames that  
you can capture with PresentationPRO-II.  
A “Mixer” is the electronic circuitry that enables you to transition (and scale) PIPs  
and Keys over a background. PresentationPRO-II has one internal mixer, capable  
of layering either one PIP or one key.  
Operator” refers to the person who uses the system.  
PIP” refers to Picture-in-Picture, an on-screen effect in which one “scaled” picture  
(typically of reduced size) is positioned over a background image. PIPs can be  
reduced, enlarged, bordered, shadowed, and mixed on and off Program.  
Screen” and “Menu” both refer to the Touch Screen menus.  
System” refers to the PresentationPRO-II.  
A “Scaler” is the electronic circuitry that enables you to reduce or enlarge source  
images, thus creating PIPs and Keys that can be positioned (and transitioned).

The following topics are discussed in this section:  
mêÉëÉåí~íáçåmolJff eáÖÜ=mÉêÑçêã~åÅÉ=pïáíÅÜÉê  
The PresentationPRO-II is a compact switching system that simplifies the task of  
supporting professional quality visual presentations, such as live events and presentations  
in corporate boardrooms and church services. PresentationPRO-II is offered in two  
configurations — SDI and HD.  
The SDI Model offers eight analog inputs on HD-15 connectors, one unscaled  
high-resolution DVI input for a background or Downstream Key (DSK) source,  
plus one SD-SDI input.  
The HD Model also offers eight analog inputs, one DVI input (for a background or  
DSK source), plus one SD-SDI/HD-SDI input.  
Each model combines an eight-input video router, Barco’s high performance proprietary  
Athena scaler, and a full-featured control panel in a single integrated package. The eight  
universal analog inputs accept standard component and composite analog video formats  
(NTSC, PAL, SECAM), computer resolutions up to UXGA, analog HD formats including  
720p, 1080i, 1080p and Plasma display resolutions.  
The Barco Athena scaler features 1:1 pixel sampling, motion adaptive de-interlacing for  
both standard and high definition sources, 3:2 and 2:2 pull down detection, low video delay  
and aspect ratio correction. The operator can also capture and store still frames for use as  
a background, DSK or LOGO source.  
Each unit incorporates one analog and one DVI output, and supports output computer  
resolutions up to 1600x1200, analog HDTV resolutions (including 720p and 1080p) and  
Plasma display resolutions.  
PresentationPRO-II uses three image layers to produce effects:  
One unscaled live background or DSK layer (shared resource)  
One scaled layer  
One LOGO layer

System Overview  
^=tçêÇ=^Äçìí=i~óÉêë  
PresentationPRO-II is a three layer system, but because the DVI input is shared between  
Background and DSK (and only one can be used at a time), the allocation of the layers is  
still very flexible:  
Background (DVI)  
Mixer  
LOGO  
Figure 1-1. PresentationPRO-II Layers, Example 1  
In the layer example above, the DVI input is used as a background, thus the DSK cannot  
be used. Here, users can layer a PIP or Key over the live DVI background, and place the  
full-screen LOGO on top.  
In the layer example below, the DVI input is used as a DSK, thus it cannot be used as a live  
background. However, if the background layer is configured as a matte color, users can  
layer a PIP or Key over the matte background, use the DSK on top, and place the full-  
screen LOGO at the highest priority.

System Overview  
A layer is defined as an image display element (such as a background, PIP or Key) with an  
associated visual priority. The mixer itself has one layer, which can be assigned to either  
PIP or Key functionality.  
A typical PresentationPRO-II application is illustrated below.  
Background (Matte)  
PIP  
DSK  
Wilderness  
Figure 1-3. Layer Illustration — Background, Mixer and DSK  
Please note the following important points:  
The full screen LOGO is the highest priority layer. This image visually appears  
“over” all other layers.  
The Downstream Key (DSK) is the second highest priority layer. It visually  
appears over the mixer and the background — but it is “under” the LOGO.  
The high resolution Background is the lowest priority layer, which appears  
“behind” all other layers.  
Within the mixer, a PIP appears “over” the background and “under” the DSK and  
LOGO. Effects include mixes, wipes, resizing, adjustable aspect ratio, borders,  
drop shadows and soft edges.  
Within the mixer, a Key also appears “over” the background and “under” the DSK  
and LOGO. Effects include luminance key, reverse (invert) key, and color key  
(graphics).  
Up to eight analog inputs and one SD-SDI or HD-SDI input can be scaled to  
produce PIP or Key effects.

System Overview  
bÑÑÉÅí=`çãÄáå~íáçåë  
This section illustrates the many (but not all) combinations of image effects that you can  
create on the PresentationPRO-II. Please note:  
In the following illustrations, the specific layers used in creating each effect are  
labeled (e.g., PIP, Key).  
The symbol ↓↑ denotes a PIP, key or DSK that can transition.  
S Example: PIP ↓↑ indicates that you can dissolve a PIP up or down over a  
background.  
The PresentationPRO-II system provides one background, one scalable layer, a DSK and  
a full screen LOGO. The LOGO, DSK and background are always unscaled.  
If the DSK is in use, a live DVI background cannot be used.  
This occurs because the BG/DSK Input is shared between  
the DSK and the Background.

1
Yellow buttons are used for functions and modes. A yellow button always applies to the  
active (blinking) layer. These functions include assigning a PIP or key to the active layer,  
resetting or clearing the layer, and freezing the active layer. Yellow buttons are also used to  
select both scaled sources (Key, PIP) and unscaled sources (LOGO).  
PIP  
The Red button is used for transitions.  
TRANS  
BG/DSK  
The Green button indicates the unscaled input source, which is shared between the  
background and the DSK.

Each button represents an input that you can assign to a PIP or a key.  
Buttons 1 through 8 correspond to the eight analog inputs on the rear panel.  
The SDI button corresponds to the SD-SDI input (SDI Model) or the SD-SDI / HD-  
SDI input (HD Model) on the rear panel.  
Press a button on the Source Selection Bus to assign the source to the blinking PIP or  
Key effect in the Layer Functions Section.  
A source button that is blinking indicates that the source is “pending.” It has been  
assigned as the next PIP or Key source, and can be taken to Program with the  
next transition.  
When a source button is lit solid, the source is on Program. It cannot be modified  
until its associated PIP or Key button is pressed and blinking.  
One solid source (Program) and one blinking source (pending) can appear on the  
Source Selection Bus simultaneously.  
In Chapter 5, refer to the “Comprehensive Input Setup” section on page 90 for details on  
all source setup procedures.

Layer Functions  
Figure 2-5. Layer Functions Section  
The buttons in the Layer Functions Section enable you to control the layers and effects  
that transition to and from Program.  
Please note the following important points:  
The buttons are arranged from left-to-right in order of visual priority — from the  
background (at the lowest priority) to the LOGO (at the highest visual priority).  
The PresentationPRO-II system enables you to “pend” one transition at a time,  
such as a PIP or Key transition, a background, DSK or LOGO transition, or a  
“clear” function.  
Because the mixer has a single scaler, you cannot transition a PIP and a Key  
simultaneously. With a PIP on Program, however, you can “pend” a Key. When  
TRANS is pressed, the PIP transitions off and the Key transitions on. Similarly, if  
a Key is on Program, you can pend a PIP.  
Remember that a live Background and the DSK are mutually  
exclusive. This occurs because the BG/DSK Input is shared.  
Note  
Following are descriptions of each button’s function.  
Background/DSK Button — press to pend either a Background or a DSK transition,  
depending on how the button’s mode is configured (on the BG/DSK Input Setup Menu).  
The button blinks when selected, and the BG/DSK Input Setup Menu appears on the  
Touch Screen. In Chapter 4, refer to the “Background/DSK Input Setup Menu” section  
on page 74 for details.  
BG/DSK  
PIP — press to pend a PIP transition or modify the active PIP. The button blinks when  
selected, and the PIP Adjustment Menu appears on the Touch Screen. In Chapter 4,  
refer to the “PIP Adjustment Menu” section on page 57 for details.  
PIP  
KEY — press to pend a Key transition or modify the active Key. The button blinks when  
selected, and the Key Adjustment Menu appears on the Touch Screen. In Chapter 4,  
refer to the “Key Menu” section on page 65 for details. In Chapter 6, refer to the “Working  
with Layers” section on page 102 for complete instructions on all PIP and key modes.

LOGO — press to pend a LOGO transition or select the LOGO source. The button blinks  
when selected and the Logo Input Setup Menu appears on the Touch Screen. In  
Chapter 4, refer to the “LOGO Input Setup Menu” section on page 82 for details.  
LOGO  
Please note:  
The logo is the system’s highest priority layer, to which you can assign one of  
PresentationPRO-II’s three internal frame stores.  
The LOGO layer is often used as a “black preview” function. If Black is selected  
as the “type” on the Logo Input Setup menu, you can fade to black at any time by  
pending a LOGO transition.  
The logo is not a live input, and does not have an associated key signal.  
All layers are maintained underneath the LOGO. For  
example, if you have a PIP and a DSK on Program when you  
transition to the LOGO, when you mix the LOGO off — the  
previous "look" is still there.  
Important  
FULL SCREEN — press to take the selected (blinking) PIP or Key to full screen. In each  
case, the source’s height will be used as the parameter that defines the full screen size.  
FULL  
SCREEN  
S Example: If a source’s original dimension is 1280 x 1024, pressing FULL  
SCREEN expands (or reduces) that PIP to fill the output screen vertically. If  
borders are ON, they will be taken into account so that they are visible.  
In Chapter 6, refer to the “Using Full Screen” section on page 114 for instructions.  
CLEAR — press to “pend” the removal of the currently selected (blinking) layer from  
Program — in the next transition. For example, you can “clear” a PIP, Key, still frame  
background, DSK or LOGO. In Chapter 6, refer to the “Working with Layers” section on  
page 102 for instructions.  
CLEAR  
FREEZE — press to freeze the selected (blinking) PIP or Key on Program. In Chapter 6,  
refer to the “Using Freeze” section on page 114 for instructions.  
FREEZE  
RESET — press to reset the current effect (e.g., PIP, Key, crop, etc.) to a nominal default  
value. You can think of this function as being “context sensitive” — as it resets only the  
current effect, without affecting other modifications.  
RESET  
S Example: If you adjust a PIP’s size, border and shadow, and wish to reset  
only the border, navigate to the Border Menu and press Reset.  
In Chapter 6, refer to the “Using Reset” section on page 114 for details.  
TRANS — press to transition the pending layer(s) to or from Program — using either a mix  
or wipe. The wipe patterns, edge types and transition rates are selected using the Effects  
Menu.  
TRANS  
In Chapter 4, refer to the “Effects Menu” section on page 53 for menu details.  
In Chapter 6, refer to the “Working with Transitions” section on page 115 for  
operational procedures.

Safety Precautions  
p~ÑÉíó=mêÉÅ~ìíáçåë=  
For all PresentationPRO-II installation procedures, please observe the following important  
safety and handling rules to avoid damage to yourself and the equipment:  
To protect users from electric shock, ensure that the chassis connects to earth via  
the ground wire provided in the AC power Cord.  
The AC Socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and be easily  
accessible.  
råé~ÅâáåÖ=~åÇ=fåëéÉÅíáçå=  
Before opening the PresentationPRO-II shipping box, inspect it for damage. If you find any  
damage, notify the shipping carrier immediately for all claims adjustments. As you open  
the box, compare its contents against the packing slip. If you find any shortages, contact  
your sales representative.  
Once you have removed all the components from their packaging and checked that all the  
listed components are present, visually inspect the system to ensure there was no damage  
during shipping. If there is damage, notify the shipping carrier immediately for all claims  
adjustments.  
páíÉ=mêÉé~ê~íáçå=  
The environment in which you install your PresentationPRO-II should be clean, properly lit,  
free from static, and have adequate power, ventilation, and space for all components.  
o~ÅâJjçìåí=fåëí~ää~íáçå  
The PresentationPRO-II chassis is designed to be rack mounted and is supplied with front  
rack-mount hardware. Rear rack-mount brackets are available as a kit and are  
recommended for use when units are mounted in transit cases.  
The PresentationPRO-II chassis can also be used in a  
“tabletop” configuration, without rack mounting.  
Note  
When rack mounting the PresentationPRO-II chassis, remember the following important  
points:  
Maximum ambient operating temperature for the unit is 40 degrees C.  
Leave at least one inch of space (front and rear) to ensure that the airflow through  
the fan and vent holes is not restricted.  
When installing multiple units into a rack, distribute them evenly to prevent  
hazardous conditions that may be created by uneven weight distribution.

The Input Menu is used to adjust all parameters relating to inputs. Using the menu, you  
can set all of the configuration options for the selected source.  
There are several ways to access the menu:  
Press {INPUT} on the Home Menu.  
Press PIP or KEY in the Layer Functions Section, then press an input on the  
Source Selection Bus and ensure the button is blinking. If the Input  
Acquisition Menu appears (because the source has not yet been saved, or  
because video has not been detected), press {INPUT}.  
On the Input Menu, the currently selected input is shown in the menu’s upper right corner  
(e.g., SRC_3). The menu tracks the selected input, thus, if you switch inputs on the  
Source Selection Bus, the menu is immediately re-assigned to the new input.  
fåéìí=jÉåì=cìåÅíáçåë  
The following Input Menu functions are provided:  
Format — this line performs two functions:  
~
Displays the resolution that is automatically determined by the FORCE  
ACQUIRE function.  
~
Enables you to set the resolution of the incoming source if desired. Once  
the format is selected manually with the rotary knob, press {SELECT  
FORMAT} to “accept” the selection.

Input Menu  
for additional details regarding resolutions.  
Selecting a format manually will automatically default the  
Input Type. In some cases, the Input Type cannot be  
changed due to the selected resolution.  
Note  
Input Type — sets the type of input connected to the PresentationPRO-II, such as  
RGB, SD, HD or Composite. Available choices change depending on the  
selected format. Selections include RGB, YP P , Composite/S-Video, SDI  
b
r
and HD SDI.  
Color Space — sets the input’s color space. Choices include SMPTE and RGB.  
Note that the system will automatically set the Color Space based on the selected  
Format and Input Type.  
Sampling Mode — sets the sampling mode for the selected input, either 1:1 or  
oversample.  
~
When 1:1 Sampling is selected, the system provides pixel-for-pixel  
sampling, and generally better image quality.  
~
When Oversample is selected, the system performs multiple samples  
for every pixel, with a resulting “softer” image.  
Contrast — sets the input’s contrast. The adjustment range is from 75% to  
125%.  
Brightness — sets the input’s brightness. The adjustment range is from 75% to  
125%.  
Gamma — sets the input gamma, enabling you to match the gamma of the  
source. The adjustment range is from 1.0 to 3.0, in 0.1 increments.  
Input Sync Type — sets the type of sync used by the selected source. Choices  
include H/V, CSync (composite sync), SOG (sync on green) and Auto.  
Pulldown Compensation — (On/Off) This function is applicable only for  
standard video (component, s-video, composite) inputs. The default mode is off.  
The feature should be turned on to process video derived from film material.  
Sync Slice <mv> — This function selects the sync comparator threshold for  
RGsB (RGB with Sync on Green) or YPbPr analog component video sources.  
The value ranges from 20mV to 280mV and is adjustable in steps of 10mV. The  
default value is 160mV.  
When PresentationPRO-II detects Macrovision® copy protection on incoming  
YPbPr NTSC/PAL video, the Sync Slice value is repositioned to 60mV to account  
for the reduced amplitude sync pulse.  
The default Sync Slice level has been optimized for virtually  
all sources that will be encountered and should rarely, if ever,  
require adjustment. However, the ability to adjust the Sync  
Slice level is provided to improve sync detection and  
synchronization in cases of extremely noisy RGsB or YPbPr  
video signals.  
Note  
Sharpness — sets the input’s sharpness. The adjustment range is from -10 (soft)  
to 10 (sharp).

There are two situations in which the Input Acquisition Menu can appear:  
1. After a factory reset has been performed, the Input Acquisition Menu  
automatically appears when you first select a source — but prior to pressing  
TRANS for the first time. As each source button is pressed, the system acquires  
the video and displays the menu. The following options are available:  
~
~
Press {SAVE} to save the source and display the Input Menu, or ...  
Press {INPUT} to display the Input Menu without saving the source.  
In this way, you can quickly acquire and save all nine inputs.  
2. After TRANS has been pressed for the first time, the Input Acquisition Menu will  
appear when you (a) select a source that has not been previously saved, and (b)  
press TRANS to transition that source to Program. Here also, the menu is  
displayed and you can save the source.  
Once the source has been saved, the Input Acquisition Menu will not be shown again,  
unless the system discovers that video is not present.  
If you select a source and there is a video mismatch, if video is not present or if the  
acquisition fails, one of the following messages will appear:

Figure 4-40. Input Source Adjustment Menu (sample)  
The Input Source Adjustment Menu is virtually identical to the PIP and Key Adjustment  
menus — except that the menu pertains to the source “inside” the PIP or Key, rather than  
the boundaries of the PIP or Key itself. In this way, for example, a PIP can remain in its  
exact location on screen, but you can scale or re-position the image inside the PIP.  
To access the menu:  
Press {SRC} from the PIP Adjustment Menu or the Crop Adjustment Menu.  
The Input Source Adjustment Menu is also used to adjust  
Key sources, and the menu functions are identical. The only  
difference is the menu’s title: Key Source Adjustment.  
Important  
fåéìí=pçìêÅÉ=^ÇàìëíãÉåí=jÉåì=cìåÅíáçåë  
The following Input Source Adjustment Menu functions are provided:  
H Size — adjusts the input source’s horizontal size. The “%” value indicates the  
source’s size as a percentage of the original PIP or Key’s horizontal resolution.  
The numeric value is the source’s width in pixels.  
V Size — adjusts the input source’s vertical size. The “%” value indicates the size  
as a percentage of the original PIP or Key’s vertical resolution. The numeric value  
is the source’s height in pixels.  
H Position — indicates the input source’s horizontal position, relative to its default  
horizontal position (00) with no offset. Thus, the value 50 is 50 pixels to the right  
of its default position.  
V Position — indicates the input source’s vertical position, relative to its default  
vertical position (00) with no offset. Thus, the value -10 is 10 pixels below its  
default position.

Figure 4-47. Frame Grab Menu (sample)  
The Frame Grab Menu enables you to capture still frames into the system’s three internal  
frame stores. The “source” of the still frames is the system’s BG/DSK input or the scaled  
inputs.  
Once captured, a still frame can be assigned as the input “type” for BG, the DSK or the  
LOGO source.  
The three frame stores utilize PresentationPRO-II’s “temp” (temporary) memory for on-air  
production. During operation, you can overwrite the memory with new captured stills as  
desired — as it takes only a few seconds to capture a still. Note that stills in “temp”  
memory are lost when the system is powered down.  
You can also store three stills in “permanent” flash memory, which will not be lost when the  
system is powered down. At bootup, the contents of flash memory is read into “temp”  
memory for use on-air. It takes several minutes to save a still into permanent memory, and  
this procedure should not be performed on-air. Permanent frames can also be overwritten.  
The contents of a layer can also be captured. In Chapter 6,  
refer to the “Capturing Still Frames” section on page 117 for  
details.

Setting up the Background  
pÉííáåÖ=ìé=íÜÉ=_~ÅâÖêçìåÇ  
With PresentationPRO-II, you can use the DVI input, a matte color, or a still frame as the  
background source. Please note:  
The system has one DVI connector (BG/DSK) that can be used for either the  
Background or the DSK — but not both simultaneously.  
The BG/DSK input (along with a scaled PIP image) is the source of still frames  
that can be captured and used as the background.  
The function of the BG/DSK input is determined by the “Mode” line on the BG/  
DSK Input Setup Menu. When set to BG, the background setup procedures  
outlined below apply.  
Select the procedure below for the type of background that you wish to set up:  
mêçÖê~ããáåÖ=bafa  
The EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) programming procedure is a prerequisite  
for using a live DVI background or for using the DSK. The procedure guarantees proper  
communications at the preferred resolution between PresentationPRO-II’s DVI input and  
your external computer.  
Use the following steps to program the PresentationPRO-II EDID:  
1. Ensure that the PresentationPRO-II output format matches your projector’s native  
resolution. Refer to the “Output Setup” section on page 88 for instructions.  
2. Ensure that the computer (or external equipment) that you wish to use as a  
background source is capable of supporting the selected output resolution.  
3. From the HOME MENU, press {SYSTEM} > {EDID} to display the EDID DVI Input  
Format Menu.  
4. Note the Current line, which displays the current EDID video format that resides  
in PresentationPRO-II memory. If this format is already set to the desired  
resolution, no EDID programming is required. You can exit this procedure, and  
continue with other background setup steps as needed.  
5. If a new resolution is required, use the ADJ knob to adjust the Format to the  
preferred setting at which you want to program the EDID.  
6. Press {PROGRAM EDID} to program EDID with the new selected video format. A  
warning message will be shown. Press {YES} to continue.  
7. Once EDID programming is complete on PresentationPRO-II, power down the  
external computer and power it back on.  
8. On your PC’s desktop, right-click to display the Display Properties Window.  
9. Select the Settings Tab, and set the resolution to match that which you just  
programmed into EDID.

source originates from an external computer or other external device.  
It is recommended that you perform these steps as a setup procedure. However, once the  
DVI input is set, during live production you can switch the background between a Matte  
color, a still frame and a DVI source.  
Please remember that the BG/DSK input is shared between BG and DSK. If you elect to  
use a live DVI input as the background, it cannot be used as the DSK simultaneously.  
Use the following steps to set up a DVI input as a background:  
1. (Optional) To ensure that the full background is visible, clear any PIP, Key, or

On rare occasion, you can experience LOS (loss of signal) — typically due to a poor video  
or computer connection. In these cases, PresentationPRO-II obeys a precise set of rules:  
Scaler LOS — If there is a LOS for a video signal inside a scaler (PIP or KEY),  
the video switches to black, but the scaler remains in its current size and position.  
Background LOS — If there is a LOS for the background DVI input, the video  
switches to the background’s selected matte color.  
DSK LOS — If there is a LOS for the DSK, the system switches the DSK Off  
(specifically, selecting "none" as the type).  
In each case, when the video signal recovers, the system re-enables it as before.

Software Upgrade Overview  
pçÑíï~êÉ=réÖê~ÇÉ=lîÉêîáÉï  
Firmware files for the PresentationPRO-II system are loaded into the hardware at power-  
up. These files are stored in the unit’s onboard flash memory, which can be accessed by  
using one of the following two methods:  
Serial — this method is the easiest to set up and use. The PC connection is  
made through the Serial 1 port on the PresentationPRO-II rear panel, in  
conjunction with the “Flash Loader” utility supplied with each upgrade.  
Ethernet — this method uses the rear panel’s Ethernet port in conjunction with a  
small network consisting of a PC (or Laptop), a network hub and the  
PresentationPRO-II unit. However, this method still requires a serial port to be  
connected.  
The Ethernet method is twice as fast as the Serial method.  
Using Serial takes approximately 6 minutes, while using  
Ethernet takes approximately 3 minutes.  
Note  
The Flash Loader utility enables you to update the Flash memory with the latest software  
revision. The utility should be run from a PC’s hard drive (recommended).  
Each upgrade method is discussed in the following sections:  
pÉêá~ä=réÖê~ÇÉ=jÉíÜçÇ

connection to your PC:  
1. Ensure that your PC (or laptop) uses the Windows® 2000 or XP operating  
systems.  
2. Ensure that your PC (or laptop) has RS-232 Serial Terminal software installed,  
such as HyperTerminal. This software enables the PC to send serial commands  
to the PresentationPRO-II unit.
