INTRODUCTION
1-1. THE SQD200 OPERATING MODE
Before you start setting up your SQD200 for the rst time, be sure you know exactly what you want to do with
it. The SQD200 offers a one operating mode, which results in a versatile video production tool for live event
staging and xed 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 SQD200” chapter).

This mode allows to display up to four live windows, while preserving seamless switching capabilities. Several
templates are available. The quadravision mode can simultaneously view no less than 6 layers (4 video or
live layers, 1 frame layer or background and 1 logo layer).
QUADRAVISION MODE
PIP: a PIP (Picture In Picture), is a picture, typically of reduced size, which is positioned over another
background image or PIP. PIPs can be reduced, enlarged and bordered. PIPs can overlap, depending on
their visual priority. The PIPs or Layers are labelled [W1] to [W4] on the front panel.
SQD200 allows for Dynamic PIP on the opening and closing of the sequence, vertically or horizontally. A
“ying” PIP is also possible over the screen with vertical, horizontal or diagonal animation. A PIP is considered
as a live layer.
FRAME: a Frame is a full screen image which is selected from one of the 7 still frames which you can
capture with the SQD200. A Frame can be ash captured from any video or computer source plugged into
the machine (7 max).
LOGO: a Logo is a partiel screen image that can be ash captured from any Video or Computer source, by
keying or image cut-out. SQD200 can record up to 7 still logos. They can be positioned anywhere on the
screen.
KEYING: a Key is an electronic process whereby an image is electronically superimposed over another
source or background, by cutting out either a color (Chroma Key), or its brightness or luminance levels (Luma
Key). Keys are typically used for titles, logos and special effects. SQD200 allows to use a live source with
green or blue background and to key it over any other live input.
1-2. USEFUL TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
BACKGROUND: a Background is a source, typically originating from a computer. SQD200 enables you to
work with live or still (frame) background sources - visually behind all other sources.
LAYER: a Layer is an image display element (such as a PIP window, Key, Logo(s) or Background) that has
an associated visual priority — either in front of or behind another layer.
The SQD200 can simultaneously view no less than 6 layers (4 video or live layers, 1 frame layer or background
and 1 logo layer).
SQD200 can insert up to 3 PIPs on a live background, or 4 PIPs on a background Frame.
