INTRODUCTION
1-1. THE EIKOS LE (EKS400) OPERATING MODES
This mode allows for a single Eikos LE to seamlessly switch and blend any of its 12 analog/digital
inputs with any other of the inputs, add PIP, 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 Eikos LE native mode, and with no less than 6 layers (of which 3 live layers). The Video
output allows to have a full Main screen for recording or broadcasting.
MIXER MODE
MATRIX MODE
Before you start setting up your Eikos LE for the rst time, be sure you know what you actually want
to do with it. The Eikos LE offers a choice of two operating modes, 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 Eikos LE” chapter, p28).
This mode turns your Eikos LE into a true 12 x 2 scaled matrix, while preserving seamless switching
capabilities. Main and Preview outputs can be set to different resolutions and rates. Switching between
any of the inputs can be done with the various effects (Cut, Fade, Slides…) and synchronized on
both outputs.

1-2. USEFUL TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
BACKGROUND: a “Background” is a source, typically originating from a computer. Eikos LE enables
you to work with live or still (frame) background sources - visually in back of 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 (or in back) of another layer.
The Eikos LE can simultaneously view no less than 6 layers (3 video, or live layers, 1 frame layer,
or background, and 2 logo layers).
Eikos LE can insert up to 2 PIPs on a live background, plus 2 logos.
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.
Eikos LE 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 eight still frames which
you can capture with the Eikos LE. A Frame can be ash captured and imported from any video or
computer source plugged into the machine.
LOGO: a “Logo” is a part of screen image that can be ash captured and imported from any Video
or Computer source, by keying or image cut-out. Eikos LE can record up to 8 still logos. They can
be positioned anywhere on the screen. An animated logo is also available on the eighth input.
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.
Eikos LE allows to use a live source with green or blue background and to key it over any other live
input.

toutes les consignes marquées dans la documentation, sur le produit et sur ce document.
• ATTENTION: An de prévenir tout risque de choc électrique et d’incendie, ne pas exposer cet
appareil à la pluie, à l’humidité et aux sources de chaleur intense.
• INSTALLATION: Veillez à assurer une circulation d’air sufsante pour éviter toute surchauffe à
l’intérieur de l’appareil. Ne placez pas l’appareil sur ou à proximité d’une surface textile susceptible
d’obstruer les orices de ventilation. N’installez pas l’appareil à proximité de sources de chaleur
comme un radiateur ou une poche d’air chaud, ni dans un endroit exposé au rayonnement
solaire direct, à des poussières excessives, à des vibrations ou à des chocs mécaniques. Ceci
pourrait provoquer un mauvais fonctionnement et un accident.
• ALIMENTATION: Ne faire fonctionner l’appareil qu’avec la source d’alimentation indiquée sur
l’appareil. Les appareils doivent être obligatoirement connectés sur une source équipée d’une mise à
la terre efcace. En aucun cas cette liaison de terre ne devra être modiée, contournée ou supprimée.
• CORDON D’ALIMENTATION: Les appareils sont équipés d’un interrupteur général (Marche I /
Arrêt O), la mise en tension et la mise hors tension se fait en actionnant cet interrupteur général.
Attention: le cordon d’alimentation constitue le seul moyen de débrancher l’appareil totalement
de l’alimentation secteur. Pour être certain que l’appareil n’est plus alimenté, ce cordon doit être
débranché de la prise murale.
Appliquer les consignes suivantes :
- Le matériel relié à demeure au réseau, doit avoir un dispositif de sectionnement facilement
accessible qui doit être incorporé à l’extérieur de l’appareil.
- Débrancher le cordon d’alimentation de la prise murale si vous prévoyez de ne pas utiliser
l’appareil pendant quelques jours ou plus.
- Pour débrancher le cordon, tirez-le par la che. Ne tirez jamais sur le cordon proprement dit.
- La prise d’alimentation doit se trouver à proximité de l’appareil et être aisément accessible.
- Ne laissez pas tomber le cordon d’alimentation et ne posez pas d’objets lourds dessus.
Si le cordon d’alimentation est endommagé, débranchez-le immédiatement de la prise murale. Il
est dangereux de faire fonctionner un appareil avec un cordon endommagé; un câble abîmé peut
provoquer un risque d’incendie ou un choc électrique. Vériez le câble d’alimentation de temps en
temps. Contactez votre revendeur ou le service après-vente pour un remplacement.
• CONNEXIONS: Toutes les entrées et sorties (exceptée l’entrée secteur) sont de type TBTS
(Très Basse Tension de Sécurité) dénies selon EN 60950.
• RÉPARATION ET MAINTENANCE: L’utilisateur ne doit en aucun cas essayer de procéder aux
opérations de dépannage, car l’ouverture des appareils par retrait des capots ou de toutes autres
pièces constituant les boîtiers ainsi que le dévissage des vis apparentes à l’extérieur, risquent
d’exposer l’utilisateur à des chocs électriques ou autres dangers. Contactez le service après-
vente, votre revendeur ou s’adresser à un personnel qualié uniquement.
• OUVERTURES ET ORIFICES: Les appareils peuvent comporter des ouvertures (aération,
fentes, etc...), veuillez ne jamais y introduire d’objets et ne jamais obstruer ses ouvertures. Si
