• RGB Multi-level Meter LEDs: These LEDs provide visual feedback on audio levels (VU status) or tally information, indicating which sources are live or preview.

Opsætning

Pakkens indhold

Before proceeding with the setup, ensure all items are present in the package:

• 1 x SKAARHOJ Air Fly Pro V2 Desktop Controller
• 1 x 12V strømforsyning
• 1 x MicroUSB Programming Cable
• 1 x netværkskabel

Indledende forbindelse

1. Strømtilslutning:
   • For standard power, connect the provided 12V power supply to the DC input port on the rear of the controller and then to a power outlet.
   • Alternatively, if your network infrastructure supports it, connect a PoE (Power over Ethernet) enabled Ethernet cable from your network switch to the Ethernet port on the controller. This will provide both power and data through a single cable.
2. Netværks forbindelse:
   • Connect the provided network cable from the Ethernet port on the controller to your network switch or router. This connection is essential for communication with other devices and for utilizing the UniSketch OS.
3. USB Connection (Optional for Programming):
   • For initial setup, firmware updates, or advanced programming, connect the MicroUSB programming cable from the controller's MicroUSB port to your computer.
4. Tænd: Once connections are secure, the controller should power on automatically. The OLED displays will illuminate, and the device will begin its boot sequence.

Betjening af controlleren

The SKAARHOJ Air Fly Pro V2 is highly customizable. Its functions are primarily defined by the UniSketch OS and the specific device cores loaded onto it. Refer to the UniSketch OS documentation for detailed programming instructions.

Grundlæggende kontrol og funktioner

• 4-Way Buttons with OLED Displays: These buttons are context-sensitive and their functions are displayed on the integrated OLED screens. Pressing the button activates its primary function, while pressing in different directions (up, down, left, right) or holding it may trigger secondary functions. The RGB backlighting indicates status or active selection.
• Encoder Knobs: Rotate these knobs to adjust parameters such as gain, volume, or selection values. Pressing the knob often acts as a toggle or confirmation. The graphic OLED displays above the knobs provide visual feedback on the current parameter and its value.
• Zoom-vippe: Apply pressure to the rocker to control the zoom function of connected PTZ cameras or other devices. Gentle pressure typically results in slow zoom, while increased pressure accelerates the zoom speed.
• Joystick Pad: Use the joystick for precise control over pan and tilt movements of PTZ cameras. It can also be assigned to other directional controls depending on the loaded device core.
• HARE Effect T-bar: The T-bar is used for smooth manual transitions between video sources or for controlling the intensity of effects. Moving the T-bar from one end to the other performs a full transition. The RGB LED bar provides visual feedback on the transition progress or effect level.
• Keyer Section (10 Buttons): This section allows for the configuration and activation of various keying effects (e.g., chroma key, luma key). Each button can be programmed for specific keyer functions or presets.
• ME Section: This section, with its multi-level shift and user keys, is designed for managing Mix/Effect buses, allowing operators to switch between different layers of video and graphics.
• RGB Multi-level Meter LEDs: These LEDs provide visual feedback on audio levels (VU status) or tally information, indicating which sources are live or preview.

Opretholdelse

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your SKAARHOJ Air Fly Pro V2 controller.

• Rensning:
  • Regularly wipe the surface of the controller with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
  • Til genstridigt snavs, let dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish and electronic components.
  • Do not spray cleaning liquids directly onto the controller.
• Opbevaring:
  • When not in use, store the controller in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
  • Protect the controller from dust by covering it or storing it in its original packaging or a suitable case.
• Kabelstyring: Ensure all cables are neatly organized and not under strain to prevent damage to the ports or cables themselves.
• Firmwareopdateringer: Periodically check the SKAARHOJ website for firmware updates for the UniSketch OS. Keeping the firmware updated ensures access to new features, bug fixes, and improved compatibility.
