14 Turning the power on Once the connections have been completed (p. 12), turn on power to your various devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to TV monitor and other devices.
15 Checking the inputs and outputs Here’s how to check that connections are correct. * Before you proceed, check that your video equipment is connected as described in Connections ( p. 12). 1 Set the video fader to “A.” fig.07-01-01.eps 2 Output an image from your video device.
16 Basic operation Here’s how to transition (move) between video input sources. If you’re using a transition effect (Mix or Wipe), you can move between images A and B by moving the video fader up or down. If you’re using a compositing effect (Superimpose or P in P), the video fader adjusts the transparency of the composited images.
17 Basic operation You can use the [1] through [4] buttons to switch the video source for each channel. 1 Set the video fader to the “A” position. The green video fader indicator for “A” will light. fig.07-02-1.eps 2 Press one of the “A” Input Select buttons.
18 Basic operation You can make use of a variety of transition effects when using the video fader or input selector to switch images. You can smoothly mix between two images. 1 Press the MIX button. The MIX button will light. 2 Use the video fader or input selector to switch between images.
19 Basic operation These effects combine images “A” and “B” into a single screen.

As an example, here’s how to layer “foreground image B” on top of “background image A.
20 Basic operation Superimpose is an effect that cuts out the dark portion of an image and places it on top of a background image. Use this effect when you want to add text you created with your computer or with the P-1 (sold separately). As an example, here’s how to superimpose text from image “B” into the background image “A.
21 Basic operation Here’s how you can temporarily black out the output image. 1 Press the Output button. The Output button will blink; a black screen will be output, and the image will disappear. fig.07-08.eps * If you press the Output button once again, the Output button will revert to steadily lit and the output image will reappear.
22 Changing the System settings Lock mode lets you obtain a more stable image, which will prevent the image from distorting. This mode restricts operations that might cause the image to distort (such as input switching). 1 While holding down the Superimpose button, turn on the power.
23 Using MIDI to control the V-1 from an external device You can use the MIDI connectors to connect the V-1 to an external MIDI device, and control the V-1 from your external MIDI device. What is MIDI? MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, and is a worldwide standard for transferring musical performance data and related information.
24 Using MIDI to control the V-1 from an external device By using a connected P-1 (sold separately) to control the V-1, you can easily add still images or text to a video image.
25 MIDI implementation 1. Note Mode setting * The Note Mode setting lets you use MIDI note numbers to switch inputs. * Use a system exclusive message to set the Note Mode. * If the Note Mode is set to 49Keys Mode or Assign Mode, the velocity value of the note message will vary the transition time.
