WHAT’S IN THE BOX
QUICK INSTALL AND SETUP

You may wish to reset the unit to factory settings to get
started. Go to: Menu > Control > Reset/Erase > Default
Values > Yes
1. Select the Output resolution that matches the native
resolution of your display. You will next be able to choose
the output rate.

The Saphyr has 7 layers available called: FRAME, LAYER

obscure your view other layers below.

blink) then, select a source (it will also blink). Press TAKE
to transition your source from Preview to Program output.
There will always be a layer selected (blinking) and a source
selected (blinking) to the selected layer (blinking). To view
on Preview or change the contents of a different layer,
simply select it. Only 1 layer can be seen on the Preview
at once.
4. To display a PIP, select the LAYER B (it will begin to blink)
then select your source (it will also blink). Press TAKE to
display the layer on the Program output.
To see the layer beneath, you will need to clear or move
the layers that are on top.
5. To clear a layer, select the layer (it will blink) then, select
BLACK. Press TAKE to remove the layer from the Program
output.
TIP: If you want the Program and Preview to toggle/flipflop
during each Take, enable this feature by going to Menu >
Control > Preset Toggle.
Once enabled, the old Program output will become the
new Preview after each Take.
6. To record and display a Quick Frame follow the steps on
page 4.
See the next page which describes the button lighting color
code and other front panel features.
Saphyr can be used to display (in Mixer Mode):
- sources seamlessly switched in the LAYER A. (Only 1 layer)
- 2 layers and 2 Logos over the LAYER A.
- 3 layers and 2 Logos over a Background Frame by resizing
the LAYER A.

to that value. Be sure to press the ENTER button when
setting the menu items.
CAUTION!
If required, front handles of the

mages can occur, including risk of
electric shock from the mains vol-
tage. Only M4x12mm screws can
be used. (They are supplied with
the unit.)
