ScreenProTM Quick Start Guide
Illustration of Typical ScreenProTM Setup
Step 1: Connect ScreenProTM to Output Devices

Connect one of the two available “Main” outputs to your projector. Note that the second main output may be
connected to a local display monitor if the projection screen is not easily viewed by the operator.
Connect the “Preview” output to a computer monitor. (Note: The preview output timing is identical to the main output.
If the main output is set to 1280 x 1024, the preview monitor must be capable of that resolution.)
TM
Step 2: Connect Input Sources to ScreenPro
TM
ScreenPro has eight universal inputs that accept composite (NTSC & PAL), S-video, component, and computer
video sources. Connect each type of input source to ScreenProTM as indicated in the following table.
Input Connections
Format – RGB Format – YUV or Y Pr Pb (Betacam)

(Typical Devices: Computers) (Typical Devices: DVD Player or Betacam Deck)

R R/CR Y G/Y
G G/Y Pr R/CR

(Typical Devices: S-Video VCR) V B/CB
Source to ScreenProTM Format – Composite/PAL (Typical Devices: NTSC/PAL VCR)
Y G/Y Source to ScreenProTM
C B/CB NTSC/PAL G/Y
Step 3: Power Up
TM
Connect ScreenPro to 115 VAC power using the power cord supplied with the unit. Locate the power
switch on the power entry module at the rear of the unit and turn the power on. The unit will flash all of the
front panel illuminated keys in unison, first with red, then green, and then amber. While the main board is
initializing, “please wait” will be displayed. The front panel display will show the main menu and this indicates
the unit has powered up successfully.
Step 4: Power Up Display
The default power-up condition is to set BLK (black screen input) as the “Main” source and Source 1 as the
“Preview” source.
The key for the source currently selected for the main output will be red. The key for the source currently
selected for the preview output will be green. The remaining source selection keys will be white.
Step 5: Key Selection and Transition
The user can easily select any of the input sources as the current preview source simply by pushing the
corresponding source select key. Each time a new preview source is selected, the key for the selected
source will turn green and the video on the preview monitor will display output video derived from the newly
selected preview source. The currently selected preview source can be transitioned seamlessly to the main
output using the Transition Effects keys. After selecting a preview source, simply press one of the three
transition effect buttons. The preview source automatically and seamlessly switches to the main output and
the input source previously designated for the main output and will then become the new preview source.
Step 6: Select Desired Output Format
TM
Set the video output from ScreenPro to match the projector or other display device. Enter the Output
Setup menu by depressing the OUTPUT SETUP key. The OUTPUT SETUP key will turn from white to red.
An arrow “>” will be displayed next to “FORMAT.” Press the “Select” key. A solid block will start to flash in
the arrow location. Rotating the encoder dial will scroll through the available output resolutions. Stop on the
desired output resolution and press “Select.” The output is now set to the desired output format. When
finished, press the OUTPUT SETUP key and the display will prompt the user to save the output settings.
Pressing Select (SEL) will save the output parameters to Flash memory and pressing PREV MENU will exit
the output setup menu.
Step 7: Projector Adjustments
Proper projector setup is critical to optimize the quality of the output image. Once ScreenPro’s output is set
to match the native resolution of the projector, the scaling engine in the projector should be disabled. The
methods used to disable the internal scaler within the projector vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
ScreenPro’s Output Setup menu allows the user to select test patterns that are used during projector
adjustment. Please consult the operator’s manual for your equipment.
Step 8: Configure Input Sources
ScreenProTM will automatically lock to video applied to the eight universal inputs and will make a “best
guess” at the video format (RGB, YUV, S-Video, NTSC/PAL) and all associated video parameters. While the
“best guess” approach generally leads to an acceptable output image, it is strongly recommended that the
user set up a configuration file to precisely define the video parameters associated with each input before
running a show. The use of configuration files provides consistent, repeatable operation and allows the user
to adjust video parameters for each source to optimize image quality. Up to 64 configuration files can be
stored for use. Each time a source is selected with the Source Selection keys, the configuration file
associated with that source is automatically reloaded.
Setting up input configuration files is simple. Proceed as follows for each input.
1. Select the source you wish to work with as the Preview source.
2. Press the INPUT SETUP menu key. Examine the image on the Preview monitor and adjust the input
parameters as desired. The Input Setup menu is described in detail in Chapter 3 of the Installation and
Operating Manual. Many of the parameters may require no adjustment, however, be sure that the
INPUT TYPE menu item is selected to match the incoming source. Also verify that the type of sync
indicated in the PROCESSING submenu matches the incoming source.
When the input setup parameters have been set as desired, enter the SAVE submenu to save the setup
parameters as a file. The next available file number is automatically shown on the first line of the SAVE
INPUT FILE menu. You can use this file number to create a new file or assign another number. The third
line in the menu allows you to assign an eight-character file name to the file. Entry of a file name is optional.
When the file number and name have been entered, select SAVE to save the configuration. The file is saved
and automatically assigned to the source used for the input setup process. The input configuration file will
automatically be recalled for use each time the source is selected.

Technical Description
TM
The ScreenPro High-Resolution Seamless Switcher is a reliable system that simplifies the task of supporting
professional-quality video presentations. The unit combines a video router, two video scalers, and a full-featured
TM
control panel in a single integrated package. ScreenPro has eight universal inputs that accept composite video, s-
video, component, and computer video sources (640x480 VGA to 1600x1200 UXGA). The input video is converted
directly to the native resolution or “sweet spot” of the projection device to optimize image quality. The operator can
transition seamlessly between eight different input video sources.
A Luminance keying feature gives the ScreenProTM a capability to mix and overlay video graphics from one video
scaler over the other. Applications include overlaying titles, captions and logos over live video. This feature takes the
red, green and blue data from a selected scaler as the “key” or “foreground” and converts it to 8-bits of luminance or
brightness information. This luminance data is compared to a user programmable threshold on a pixel-by-pixel basis.
If the luminance value of a pixel is below the threshold then the pixel data from the background scaler is displayed. If
the luminance value of a pixel exceeds the threshold by 16 counts then the pixel data from the foreground scaler is
displayed. If the luminance value is between the threshold value and threshold value plus sixteen, then a linear mix
is performed between the two scalers. This linear mix prevents small level changes and/or noise from causing
unwanted speckling on the keyed image. The linear mix also allows semi-transparent overlay effects to be
performed. If the overlay luminance value is in the linear mix region it will appear semi transparent (nice effect for
logos).
TM
The ScreenPro supports two independently buffered main video outputs and one preview video output. The
presentation viewed by the audience is provided via the Main output. The Preview output is provided to allow the
operator to examine the next video source to be displayed. The ScreenProTM user interface has been designed with
intuitive, user-friendly menus to simplify system setup and adjustment. User-defined configuration files can be
created, stored, recalled, and edited. ScreenProTM also has the ability to store a series of up to 64 preprogrammed
transition steps. This allows a complete show to be programmed in advance and executed by actuating a single key.

1:1 Sampling Overview

In order to scale an image it must first be digitized. This is the process of changing the analog graphics signals (Red,
TM
Green, and Blue for example) into pixels stored in the ScreenPro’s image memory. The default mode of the
TM
ScreenPro is to over sample the input image producing more samples than there are in the original source material.
The over sampled image is then scaled to the final output resolution.
An approach called 1:1 Sampling produces a superior image by sampling the analog graphics signals at exactly the
same rate as that of the original source. This allows the image to be re-construction with the reduced digitizing
artifacts. This 1:1 Sampling approach requires very accurate settings and even a small sampling error causes noise
on the output image. Both the sample clock frequency and phase must be correct to obtain a properly sampled
TM
image. ScreenPro incorporates automatic adjustments in the 1:1 Sampling mode.
1:1 Sampling Operation

To automatically set-up for 1:1 Pixel Sampling the input image should have non-black data at the edges and have
some amount of text or other graphics. The standard Windows GUI is a good example. With an appropriate image
displayed on the Preview Monitor, scroll to the Auto Config menu item and press Select. In a couple of seconds, the
image should return properly adjusted.
The sample clock phase can be fine tuned by adjusting either the Phase Preview or Phase Main adjustments
depending on which output you are calibrating. The functions of the menu items that are unique to Advanced Mode
operation are described below.

Auto Config
When the Auto Config menu item is activated, the unit examines the incoming video and automatically configures the
system for 1:1 pixel sampling. Parameters in the H TOTAL, PHAS MAIN, PHASE PREVIEW, POSITION (R), and
WIDTH (L) menu fields are calculated and loaded as part of the Auto Config process. To activate Auto Config mode,
scroll to the Auto Config menu and press select.
H Total
This menu field displays the total number of pixel clock periods during a horizontal line. The parameter is
automatically loaded when the Auto Config process is complete. Manual adjustments can be made by scrolling to the
H total menu item, pressing select and making adjustments with the Adjust Control.
Phase Main
This menu field displays a number between –16 and +15 which represents phase adjustment for the sample clock on
the Main output. Phase is adjustable to the nearest 1/32 of a clock period. This parameter is automatically loaded
when the Auto Config process is complete. Manual adjustments can be made by scrolling to the Phase Main menu
item, pressing Select and making adjustments with the Adjust Control.
This menu field displays a number between –16 and +15 which represents phase adjustment for the sample clock on

To control the type of wipe transition select the Wipe Type menu item with the Select key and then turn the Adjust
control to select the desired transition. The wipe types include left, right, top and bottom where the wipe sweeps in
the direction indicated (a right wipe proceeds from left to right). Additional transitions include Curtain Open (CRTN
OPN), Curtain Close (CRTN CLS), and Mosaic. Additional item to access PIP and Keying modes are as follows: PIP
MODE, KEY DSLV, KEY CUT, KY RIGHT, KEY LEFT, KEY UP, KEY DOWN, KY C OPN (Curtain Open), KY C CLS
(Curtain Close).
Key Threshold
To control the pixel luminance value threshold, select the KEY THRESHOLD menu item with the Select key and then
turn the Adjust control to select the desired threshold between 0% and 100%. To get an idea of how the threshold
affects the final mix, transition the key source over the background image before adjusting the threshold.

PIP H Size / PIP V Size
To control the Horizontal or Vertical Size of the PIP, select the PIP H SIZE or PIP V SIZE menu item and then turn
the Adjust control to the size desired, between 1% and 100%. Please make note of the following when adjusting the
Horizontal or Vertical size.
The scaler is limited to a maximum 2:1 compression. Therefore, the size of a full PIP (“full” meaning the entire
input image is displayed in the PIP) is limited by the following equations:
Min Horizontal Size (% of output image) = InputHSamples/(2 * OutputHRes) * 100
Min Vertical Size (% of output image) = InputVActive/(2 * OutputVRes) * 100
Note: InputHSamples may not be the same as input horizontal resolution due to oversampling.
Example:
PIP source is standard video 710x485.
Output is XGA 1024x768.
Min Horizontal Size (%) = 710/(2 * 1024) * 100 = 34.67%

Min Vertical Size (%) = 485/(2 * 768) * 100 = 31.58%
PIP sizes smaller than the calculated limits can still be used. However the right and bottom edges of the screen
will be cropped.
PIP X POS / PIP Y POS

To control the Horizontal or Vertical Position of the PIP, select PIP X POS or PIP Y POS menu item and then turn the
Adjust control to position desired, between 0% and 100%.

Serial Command Syntax Specification
Serial Parameters
The following are the parameter settings for serial communication.
Baud Rate is 38.4.
Parity is NONE.
Stop Bit is 1.
Data Bit is 8.
Echo is ON or OFF. (Applies to RS232 mode only)
For RS-232/485 signal connections, refer to Chapter 2 – Installation.
Protocol Mode Selection:

TM
The ScreenPro will be able to support RS232 or RS485 serial protocols. This mode will be selectable by the serial
command “SMODE” or via the SERIAL MODE menu item in the MISC Menu. When RS485 mode is selected an
additional parameter will be available to set the device address. This number will be in the range of 1 to 32. This
address ID will remain unchanged between system power cycles. The ID will default to 1 under the following
conditions:
• A reset RS Ports is executed during a Factory System Reset.

• A software upgrade is installed
.
RS232 Mode
The Graphics Board will respond with a '#' prompt when the command processor is ready for a command.
The command syntax is shown below

cmd arg1 arg2 … argn<CR>
cmd cmd is any valid Graphics Board command, typically 2 to 6 alphabetic (non numeric) characters.
arg arg1, arg2, … argn are required or optional parameters depending on the command used.
<CR> carriage return (ASCII 13) terminates the command
A space (ASCII 32) must be inserted between the command and any arguments that follow. A space must also be
inserted between all argument parameters except for the last argument in the chain.
All commands in RS232 mode must be terminated with a carriage return (ASCII 13). The carriage return will tell the
command processor to begin execution of the command.
If the command is not recognized as a valid command, a '? 4' is returned for unknown command where ‘4’ is a
numeric error code for Command Not Available. If the command is recognized but the syntax is incomplete or
required parameters are missing then '? 1' will be returned, where ‘1’ is a numeric error code for Command Format
Error. See below for a complete description of Error Codes.
Query commands will return the following:

=result
#
The '=' indicates a result from a command is following. The 'result' will follow directly after the '='. The value of the
result will vary depending on the query command used. A new line will be generated and the prompt will indicate the
system is ready for a new command.
Error Codes
Command Format Error 1
Command Range Error 2
Command Execution Error 3
Command Not Available 4

RS485 Mode
Single commands will be combined with a command delimiter start, device number, command separator and
command delimiter end to form a command string as shown below:
Single Command Format:

cdsidcmd arg1 arg2 ..argncde
Multiple Command Format:

cdsidcmd arg1 arg2 ..argn,idcmd arg1 arg2 ..argn,…,idcmd arg1 arg2 ..argncde
cds cds is the command delimiter start character '*' (ASCII 42).
id id is the device number in the range of 1 to 32. This can be a single character for values less than
10, no preceding zero is required.
cmd cmd is any valid Graphics Board command, typically 2 to 6 characters in length
arg arg1,2,n is any required or optional parameters need for the command
, separates multiple commands
cde cde is the command delimiter end character '!' (ASCII 33).
Example:
12XYZ A 9,9PDQY 1234,31WX 200 98!
The command string is started by the command delimiter start character '*'. The first command follows directly after
the cds. The example shows that device 12 should process the XYZ command with A and 9 as parameters. A coma
(ASCII 44) separates the commands. Device 9 will process the PDQY command with a parameter of 1234 and
device 31 will process the WX command with parameters of 200 and 98. The cde '!' follows directly after the last
command to end the command string.
Commands received in the command string will not be processed until the cde character '!' is received. This format
allows commands to be stack to the same or multiple devices and executed when the cde '!' character is received by
all units. Any incomplete or unknown commands will be ignored. The maximum number of commands that can be
stacked per unit is 16. Each unit will only stack those commands assigned to it, even though all units receive the
same command string.
During queue processing, no input buffer processing is performed. Characters sent through the serial port during
queue processing are still stored in the input buffer. If hardware flow control is not observed, it is important to
guarantee that the input buffer limit is not exceeded before completion of the last command string. Note: The
command queue does not support backspace characters.
To minimize bus traffic the command words will be kept as short as possible. The units will not respond with prompts
or any command error conditions. Echo will be disabled when RS-485 mode is selected.
Configuration Load and Save

These commands can be used to store or duplicate various ScreenProTM configuration files (CFG's). The files can be
loaded off the ScreenProTM to a disk file on a PC.
Download CFG
DL op nn sclr<CR>
Parameters:
Op - [I|P] Download Input library or Program Sequence Steps.
nn Selects the index number of the configuration. When Op = I, this
number can be zero for the current configuration or a number
between 1 - 64 for a User Library Configuration. When Op = P, this
number should always be 1.
sclr – [A|B|M|P] Used only when nn = 0, otherwise parameter not
required.
Example: DL I 12<CR>
Downloads the input cfg number 12

This command will download a configuration file from the ScreenProTM to the serial port. The download begins
immediately after the command is initiated. The user should verify that the CFG is valid before downloading. The
format of the CFG data is
<SOH><LIB><Index><Size><BINARY DATA><Sx>
Where
<SOH> is StartOfHeader (ASCII Code: 0x01)
<LIB> is the current library type, [I]nput or [P]rogram Sequence, 1 Character
<Index> is the library index of this file, as a 1byte value.
<Size> is the number of bytes in the binary data field, as an unsigned byte value (0 – 255).
<BINARY DATA> is the configuration data. For input files, this is currently 204 bytes
<Sx> this is an unsigned 8-bit number of the cumulative sum of each byte contained in binary data only.
Current file size

The current file size for the input Library is 204 bytes (1632 bits)
All files will have additional 4 bytes (32 bits) of header information added to them and 1 byte (8 bits) of checksum
information at the end of the file.
Upload CFG
UL op nn s[8]<CR>
Parameters:
Op - [I|P] Upload Input library or Program Sequence Steps.
nn Selects the index number of the configuration. When Op = I,
the number can be between 1 – 64 for a User Library
Configuration. Use 0 to load the file into the index it originated
from. When Op = P, the number needs to be 1.
S[8] Optional parameter to override the 8 character description of
the file.
Example: UL I 3<CR>
Uploads file to the input cfg location 3.
TM
This command will upload a configuration file from the serial port to the ScreenPro . The upload begins once a valid
SOH character is detected indicating the start of header. This allows multiple units to receive the UL command and
then wait to receive the same CFG file from a PC or source ScreenProTM.
Program Sequence File Description
A program sequence file is an ASCII file that may contain from 7 to 448 bytes depending on the number of steps in
the program sequence. Each step consists of seven bytes, one byte for the program step number (1 to 64), one byte
for the source input number (1 to 9), one byte for edge adjust (0 to 6 as defined below), one byte for the program
transition type (1 to 8 as defined below) and three bytes for the program transition time (0.0 to 5.0).
Edge adjust values

The edge adjust can have any of the following values.
0 256 pixels
1 128 pixels
2 64 pixels
3 32 pixels
4 16 pixels
5 8 pixels
6 4 pixels

Transition type values
The program transition type can have any of the following values.
1 Dissolve Note: A Cut is a dissolve of 0.0 seconds

2 Wipe Right
3 Wipe Left
4 Wipe Down
5 Wipe Up
6 Curtain Open
7 Curtain Close
8 Mosaic
Example: 12410.029551.2 defines a two-sequence program file with a cut to source 2 at step 1 and a wipe-up
transition of 1.2 seconds to source 9 (BLK key) with an edge with of 8 pixels at step 2.

Terminal Remote Control
This section contains information necessary to emulate the Front Panel via the Remote Control port on the back of
the ScreenPro.
ScreenPro units support two remote control protocols. The first is the Folsom protocol. This protocol is intended to by
used by remote controllers that wish to emulate key presses and knob turns. This is the default protocol and is
compatible with both RS232 and RS485.
Second is the FSR protocol. This protocol is an extension of the Folsom protocol. It allows controllers to receive the
“background” commands that are sent to the Front Panel in order to keep its LED’s and Display updated whenever
switches are pressed or the knob is turned. This protocol is NOT compatible with RS485.

Remote Control Mode <TCM type>

Description: Issued by the Controller to set the Graphics board control protocol. “Type”
is an integer that defines the protocol where 0 = Folsom (default) and 1 equals the FSR
protocol described herein.
Note: The Graphics board is still capable of receiving and responding to keystrokes on the
front panel regardless of the protocol selected.
Example: TCM 1 – Sets the ScreenPro unit to the FSR protocol.

FRONT PANEL LED STATUS
LED Status Request <TLSR >
Description: Issued by the Remote Controller to request that the Graphics board return the current LED
status of the Front Panel. The Graphics board returns a 78-byte string that indicates the
status of all LEDs. The first 26 bytes represent LED status defined as o,y,r,g,b (off, yellow,
red, green, blink). The next 26 bytes represent one state for each LED to account for the
case that the LEDs are blinking. Valid status is defined as o,y,r,g (off, yellow, red, green)
and non-blinking LEDs are defaulted to o.
Example: TLSR may return “rgbooooooooooooooooooooooo” which informs the external device that
the RUN ADV LED is red, the MISC LED is green, the FILE LED is blinking and all other
LEDs are off. The strings “ooyooooooooooooooooooooooo” and
“oorooooooooooooooooooooooo” are transmitted to indicate that the FILE LED is blinking
alternatively yellow and red. See Table 1 for the switch number assignments.
If the FSR protocol mode is selected, then the following will be true.
The response for the TLSR command should be TLSI and the current state of the LEDs.
So it would be “TLSIrgbooooooooooooooooooooooo…”. The Panja or Crestron
programmer will probably want to use their own colors for the blink so only the first 26
bytes are necessary, not the entire 78.

Note: UP and DOWN Adjust can be used in place of the TER command described below.

Terminal Encoder Rate <TER n [-100 to 100]>
Description: Allows a remote control unit to emulate the function of the encoder knob on the front
panel. Absolute value determines the speed at which the knob is rotating and must be
greater than 3. Positive values indicate Counter-Clockwise motion. Negative values
indicate Clockwise motion.
Example: TER -56 – Rotate the know in a clockwise direction at a medium rotation speed.
COMMANDS ISSUED BY THE GRAPHICS BOARD TO THE CONTROLLER
The following commands will be issued out the remote control port when the FSR protocol is selected. While
these commands are being issued out of the remote control port, they are also being sent to the Front Panel
so that it maintains the proper status at all times. These commands cannot be sent into the ScreenPro in
order to change the Front Panel status.
LED Blink <TLB led state1 state2 On/Off>
Description: Blinks the LED selected by the parameter “led” between the two states indicated “state1”
and “state2” if the on/off parameter is set to on (one). Blinking is disabled when the
“on/off” parameter is set to zero. Note if “led” is set to zero, all of the LEDs will be
activated.
Note: “state#” is defined as o,y,r,g (off, yellow, red, green).
Example: TLB 0 o r 1 – Blinks all of the LEDs between the off and red states.
LED Set <TLS number state AllOrOne>
Description: LED “number” (see Table 1 above) is set to “state” (see note below). “AllOrOne”
indicates whether to retain the state of the other LEDs (“a”) or to set all other leds off (“o”).
Note: “state” is defined as o,y,r,g (off, yellow, red, green).
Example: TLS 14 r o – sets the wipe button’s led to red and turns all other led’s off.
LED Set All <TLSA state>
Description: Sets all LEDs to “state”. Note: “state” is defined as o, y, r and g (off, yellow, red and
green).
Example: TLSA y – Sets all led’s to yellow.
Display Clear <TDC>
Description: Erase all characters from the display.
Example: TDC

Display Put Character <TDPC row column character>
Description: Output “character” (ASCII) at display “row” and “column”.
Example: TDPC 0 0 ? – places a question mark at the upper left corner of the display.
Note: Special display characters are specified with hexadecimal codes. Contact Folsom Research Inc.
for a description of these special characters.
Display Put String <TDPS row column string>
Description: Output “string” at display “row” and “column”.
Example: TDPS 1 1 terminal initialize – places “terminal initialize” one character from the left edge
on the second line of the display.
Display Stored String <TDSS offset row column>
Description: Gets a string stored in memory at “offset” (see text file for string definitions and offset
locations) and displays it starting at “row” and “column”.
Example: TDSS 243 2 0 – Places the string stored at offset 243 on line 3 of the display starting at t
he far left.
Note: For further information regarding this command and obtaining a copy of the text file with string
definitions and offset locations, contact Folsom Research Inc.
Display Clear Region <TDCR row1 col1 row2 col2 >
Description: Clears the display from position (row1, col1) to position (row2, col2).
Example: TDCR 0 0 1 0 – Clears the display from the first character in the first row to the first
character in the second row.
Display Intensity <TDI intensity >
Description: Sets the display to the specified intensity. Intensity values are 100, 75, 50, or 25
representing a percentage of full intensity.
Example: TDI 100 – Sets the display to full brightness.
Note: This command can be sent to the ScreenPro to change the Display Intensity.
Display on or off <TDS OnOff>
Description: Set the display state to 0 or 1 (Off or On).
Example: TDS 0 - Turns the display off.
