About Multi-Screen Modes
Default Mode : DSK Mode
By default, the operational mode of the V-1600HD is set to DSK mode and the internal signal flow is shown below.
fig.dsk-mode-flow.eps
If you switch the operational mode, the internal signal flow changes as the following pages describe.
You can switch the operational mode via [Bus Structure] in the SYSTEM menu.

About Multi-Screen Modes
Multi-Screen Modes
In addition to the DSK mode, the V-1600HD also includes the following four modes. Changing the mode makes the operational
methods and menu items change as well.
• AUX mode (p. 5)
• Split Mode (p. 7)
• Span Mode (p. 9)
• Dual Mode (p. 14)
Refer to the following pages for the operational methods of these modes.
In the Split, Span and Dual modes, the features below cannot be used. You can use these features only when DSK mode or AUX
mode is selected.
• Two-screen composition (PinP or Key) is not available.
• The downstream keyer (DSK) is disabled.
• Some features are restricted when operating the unit remotely from an external device via MIDI or RS-422 as described in the Remote Control
Reference Guide.
• Transition effects cannot be applied. When [CUT] is selected, a black screen is inserted momentarily at the time of transition. When [MIX] is
selected, a black screen is inserted and a fade-in or fade-out occurs.

About Multi-Screen Modes
Select [AUX] in [Bus Structure] to switch to AUX mode. In this mode, the V-1600HD functions as an up or down converter,
enabling simultaneous output of video having two different resolutions.
* The operation methods in AUX mode are the same as in the default mode (DSK mode).
The Downstream Keyer cannot be used in the AUX mode. PinP and Key are still available.

About Multi-Screen Modes
If you project one image to two projectors for a 32:9 aspect image and try to simply butt the two images together, a visible gap or
line at the center is unavoidable. To hide this gap, two images can be projected sharing a center overlapping area. However, this
central area will be brighter because both projectors are displaying the same data in the same location as shown below.
fig.before-edge-blend.eps
You can create a seamless join using the Edge Blending function. A gradation is used on each image in the overlapping area to
minimize the gap.
To select the position and adjust the width of the overlapping area, select [Width] of [Edge Blending] in the OUTPUT menu.
fig.efter-edge-blend.eps
You can also execute gamma correction to the overlapping area after brightness adjustment. Set gamma correction parameters according to the
characteristics or specifications of the projectors you are using.

* The Offset parameter is used to balance the base brightness of the projectors when simply displaying “black“ (no image).
For Offset and Gamma adjustments, refer to “Offset and Gamma Adjustment“ on next page.
This selects type of signal decrement (gamma curve) according to the characteristics/specifications of the projector.
This includes parameters to adjusts the blur width of four edges.

Offset and Gamma Adjustment
Adjust Offset and Gamma parameters as below if necessary.
1. Adjust offset
As shown on page 11, the overlapping area can have a tendency to show a brighter picture. Adjust the brightness of the non-
overlapping area to obtain uniformed brightness across the screen.
• Adjust [Black] value in [Offset].
• If adjustment of [Black] is not enough, adjust [Gray] value and [White] value.
• Changing [Gray Position] value (0 - 1023) determines the point to increase or decrease in [Gray] adjustment.
2. Select a gamma curve
According to the characteristics of the connected projector, select a gamma curve in [Gamma]. You can select one from [1.00] to [5.00].
3. Fine-tune gamma curve
It is possible to fine-tune the gamma curve you select in [Gamma]. Select a point (1 - 8) using [Gamma Control Point] and adjust
the parameters as shown below.
• Position Move the point and select what part of the line you want to adjust.
• Width Specify width of the area that will be effected around the [Position] point.
• Gain Specify the distance (up or down) of the selected point and width.

Select [Dual] in [Bus Structure] to switch to the Dual mode. In this mode, the different source images are output from two
different connectors (1:PGM and 2). The channel selected with PGM is output from [1:PGM] and the channel selected with PST/
EFFECT is output from [2].
PinP, Key and DSK are not available in Dual mode.

1. Select channel to output from [1:PGM]
Use the INPUT selector on the PGM side to select a channel to output from [1:PGM] connectors. The selected button lights up in
green. Output of the selected channel does not start at this point.
2. Select channel to output from [2]
Use the INPUT selector on the PST/EFFECT side to select a channel to output from [2] connectors. The selected button lights up in
green. Output of the selected channel does not start at this point.
* When you preview sources on the built-in monitor, control monitor display mode as below.
• PGM 1:PGM
• PVW 2
• AUX Standby picture (button lit in green)
3. Start dual output
Press the [TAKE] button or move the video fader to start dual output. The buttons selected on PGM side and PST/EFFECT side
change to red.
4. Selecting the next channel
If you select a channel other than the channels currently output with PGM or PST/EFFECT, the newly selected channel will go into
standby status. At this stage, the button of the newly selected channel lights up or blinks green. You can preview the source of
the green lit channel on the built-in monitor if you select [AUX].
When you want to preview picture on an external monitor, connect a display to the RGB/COMPONENT OUT connector or the SD OUT connector
(Composite/S-Video).
If you want to switch the picture on one screen only, press the same INPUT selector button for the one you do not want to change (as opposed to
selecting a different channel as described in step 4). When you press the same button, the INPUT selector blinks in green. Operating the [TAKE]
button or the video fader will then only switch the display that has a different channel selected.
Adjusting Output Parameters Individually
1. Adjusting Output Parameters of [1:PGM]
Select [Enter] of [Output 1] in the OUTPUT menu to adjust the parameters below.
• Scaling (H/V) Expansion/reduction of horizontal or vertical size.
• Zoom This adjusts enlargement factor of the picture.
• Position (H/V) This adjusts position of projection.
• Brightness This adjusts brightness
• Saturation This adjusts the saturation.
