Operation

This unit is a 2-channel video selector designed to allow switching between the video output signals from two DVJ-X1 DJ DVD players. This component is designed to allow use of a fader start signal output from a DJ mixer to perform automatic signal switching; it also generates sync signals to help suppress image distortion when switching between video signals.

Power is turned ON when this button is depressed to the lock posi- tion. Press again to the unlock position to turn power OFF.

When power is first turned ON, PLAYER A input is selected, and the VIDEO A button’s outer-ring indicator lights. The AUTO button also lights, indicating that the AUTO mode is selected, and the fader start signal from the DJ mixer is used to perform automatic input selec- tion.

2.FADER START switch A

ON: Transmits fader start signal from DJ mixer to player A.

OFF: Disables fader start signal from DJ mixer to player A.

3.FADER START switch B

ON: Transmits fader start signal from DJ mixer to player B.

OFF: Disables fader start signal from DJ mixer to player B.

4.Sync signal MODE SELECTOR switch

PAL: Generates sync signal conforming to PAL standard.

NTSC: Generates sync signal conforming to NTSC standard.

¶ Sync signal can be reacquired by resetting the position of the sync

signal MODE SELECTOR switch.

Note:

The discs used in the two players (A and B) should be compliant with the same signal format (PAL/NTSC). Synchronization cannot be per- formed if the discs have differing signal formats.

5.VIDEO A button

When pressed to the ON position, PLAYER A input is selected, and the ring indicator around the VIDEO A button lights.

Whenever power is first turned on, PLAYER A input is selected by default.

¶If the VIDEO B button is pressed while holding the VIDEO A but- ton depressed, PLAYER B input is selected; when the VIDEO B button is then released, input returns immediately to PLAYER A, thus allowing quick switching between A/B inputs.

6.VIDEO A indicator

The indicator around the border of the VIDEO A button lights when PLAYER A input has been selected.

7.AUTO select button/indicator

When pressed to the ON position, the AUTO button indicator lights and when a fader start signal is received from the DJ mixer, inputs are switched automatically. If the VIDEO A or VIDEO B button is pressed manually during the AUTO mode (namely, pressing which- ever input button is not currently selected), the input will switch to the one pressed, but the AUTO mode will continue in effect; as a result, when a fader start signal is subsequently received from the DJ mixer, the inputs will automatically switch once again.

When the AUTO button is pressed once again to the OFF condition (button indicator goes out), the inputs will not switch even if a fader start signal is received from the DJ mixer.

¶Whenever power is first turned ON, the AUTO mode is selected by default (AUTO button indicator lights).

¶Whenever the AUTO mode is being used be sure that the DJ mixer’s fader start switch is in the ON position.

8.VIDEO B button

When pressed to the ON position, PLAYER B input is selected, and the ring indicator around the VIDEO B button lights.

¶If the VIDEO A button is pressed while holding the VIDEO B but- ton depressed, PLAYER A input is selected; when the VIDEO A button is then released, input returns immediately to PLAYER B, thus allowing quick switching between A/B inputs.

9.VIDEO B indicator

The indicator around the border of the VIDEO B button lights when PLAYER B input has been selected.
