WHAT’S IN THE BOX
QUICK INSTALL AND SETUPGetting started:You may wish to reset the unit to factory settings to get started. Go to: Menu > Control > Reset/Erase > Default Values > Yes
1. Select the Output resolution that matches the native resolution of your display. You will next be able to choose the output rate.Menu > Output > Output format > 1920x1080 >Internal Ref > 60 Hz
2. Inputs can be configured automatically using the Auto Set All function. Menu > Intputs > AutoSet All > YesIt will scan each input and detect the sync type that is plugged in. You can still do an Autoset or manual setup per input.
The Pulse² has 6 layers available called: FRAME, LAYERS A & B, LOGOS 1 & 2 and a QUICK FRAME. Each layer will obscure your view other layers below.
3. To display a source, select the LAYER A (it will begin to blink) then, select a source (it will also blink). Press TAKE to transition your source from Preview to Program output.
There will always be a layer selected (blinking) and a source selected (blinking) to the selected layer (blinking). To view on Preview or change the contents of a different layer, simply select it. Only 1 layer can be seen on the Preview at once.
4. To display a PIP, select the LAYER B (it will begin to blink) then select your source (it will also blink). Press TAKE to display the layer on the Program output.To see the layer beneath, you will need to clear or move the layers that are on top.
5. To clear the layer or any other layer, select the layer (it will blink) then, select BLACK. Press TAKE to remove the layer from the Program output.
TIP: If you want the Program and Preview to toggle/flipflop during each Take, enable this feature by going to Menu > Control > Functions > Preset Toggle.Once enabled, the old Program output will become the new Preview after each Take.
6. To record and display a Quick Frame follow the steps on page 4.See the next page which describes the button lighting color code and other front panel features.
Pulse² can be used to display:- sources seamlessly switched in the LAYER A. (Only 1 layer)- 1 layer and 1 Logo over the LAYER A.- 2 layer and 1 Logo over a Frame by resizing the LAYER A.
IMPORTANT: Simply selecting a menu item will not set it to that value. Be sure to press the ENTER button when setting the menu items.
CAUTION!If required, front handles of the device can be dismantled, but with caution. The original screws removed must not be reintroduced to their location without handles in place. Substantial damages can occur, including risk of electric shock from the mains voltage. Only M4x12mm screws can be used. (They are supplied with the unit.)

For complete details and operations procedures, please refer to the Pulse² User’s Manual and our website for further information: www.analogway.com
This Analog Way product has a 3 year warranty on parts and labor, back to factory. This warranty does not include faults resulting from user negligence, special modifications, electrical surges, abuse (drop/crush), and/or other unusual damage. In the unlikely event of a malfunction, please contact your local Analog Way office for service.
The HDCP Encryption can be disabled on HDMI/DVI inputs or/and Program Output #1 / Program Output #2. This can be useful when you have a computer which is detecting the HDCP compliance of your switcher and protecting the content by encrypting the signal from this computer. This feature will disable the HDCP compliance on this specific HDMI/DVI input only.If you want to use HDCP content from your sources, be sure to use only HDCP compliant screens or projector. If it’s not the case, the output image could be disabled.Screen will go to black without displaying the HDCP input image, or partially layer out on HDCP content.The output status can provide you all information about the output in real time. This feature is particularly useful when HDCP is used with long cable to be sure the communication is well handled.
The Autotake function performs a TAKE automatically each time an input is selected.
AUTO-LOCK allows to select an input only if a signal is valid.
QUICK FRAME: full and individual frame that can be displayed on top of every layer.It is possible to store up to 8 frames in the device non volatile memory.- Select RECORD FRAMES in the frames menu.- A white rectangle will appear on your Program display, indicating the frame which will be caught and saved. (The Frame can be
captured in Preview too.)- To select the Quick frame, please go into the SCREEN menu, select QUICK FRAME menu and then choose a Frame slot. The
selected frame will be your QUICK FRAME.Now to display it, simply press the front panel button QUICK FRAME. It becomes solid RED.- To remove the QUICK FRAME, press the QUICK FRAME button on the front panel. It becomes solid green.
TIP: a long press on the BLACK button will clear all layers on Preview. Press TAKE to view your Program display turn to black.
The [Empty] term appears next to all unused slots
