Analog Way Di-VentiX II - Manual (Page 6)

This mode allows for a single Di-VentiX II to seamlessly switch and blend any of its 8 analog/digital inputs with
any other of the inputs, add PIPS, titling or logo insertion to the live frame, while previewing your every move
before going live, to avoid embarrassing errors on your main screen. The Mixer mode is the Di-VentiX II native
mode, and with no less than 7 layers (of which 4 live layers). The Di-VentiX II with the Video Option allows to
have a full Main screen for recording or broadcasting.
The Embedded Soft Edge Blending Mode allows for a single Di-VentiX II to blend any of its sources onto
two projectors for elegant wide screen horizontal or vertical projections. In this configuration the Di-VentiX II
offers the same functions as in Multi Layer Mixer Mode. Since both Main and Preview outputs are used for
the audience display, we recommend the optional video output card, which can be used as a Preview Monitor,
making the control of your shows as easy as in standard Mixer Mode. The Di-VentiX II with the Video Option
allows for full main screen or a split screen between Main and Preview in embedded Soft Edge Blending
Mode for Monitoring.
This mode is set with the RCS developed by Analog Way or Remote Controllers (see ‘Soft Edge Blending’
page, p70).
Multi Machine Soft Edge Blending Mode can be achieved by linking multiple Di-VentiX II together. Each
Di-VentiX II used in Mixer Mode drives a single video projector to create extra large images, with up to 16
projectors horizontally or vertically.
For multi machine setups, we recommend the use of a remote console such as the Axion2 or the ORCHESTRA.
This mode turns your Di-VentiX II into a true 8x2 scaled matrix, while preserving seamless switching
capabilities. Both Main and Preview outputs can only be set with the same resolution. Switching between
any of the inputs can be done with various effects (Cut, Fade, Slides…) and synchronized on both outputs.
* NOTE * This mode has the following restrictions: no PIPs, no logos and no frames.
INTRODUCTION
1-1. THE Di-VentiX II OPERATING MODES
MIXER MODE
Before you set up your Di-VentiX II for the first time, be sure you know exactly what you want to do with it.
The Di-VentiX II offers a choice of three operating modes, which results in a versatile video production tool
for live event staging and fixed installation applications.
* NOTE * : We recommend resetting the device to its default values every time you set up your shows or
events (see the “Operating The Di-VentiX II” chapter, p26).
