Quick Start
Recommended Equipment
Before you begin, the following equipment is needed: · Dual-output DC power supply, ±5V at 500mA · Computer running Windows 98/2000, with a bidirectional or ECP parallel port · Video signal sources (such as cameras) · Video monitor(s) · MAX4455 EV kit · MAX4358 EV kit · 25-pin I/O extension cable (included in EV kit) 12) Confirm that the on-screen display is working by selecting the text tool ( ) and then clicking in the middle of the large blue display control area. The Character Generator dialog box pops up. Click OK to copy the text to the on-screen display memory. Both the computer and the video monitor should show the k e y / f i l l text. Note: The parallel port interface bandwidth severely limits the graphics transfer rate between the MAX4455 and the host PC.

Procedure
1) Carefully connect the boards by aligning the two rightangle headers of the MAX4455 EV kit with the corresponding headers of the MAX4358 EV kit. Gently press them together. The two boards should be flush against one another. 2) With the power supply off, connect the power supply to the MAX4358 EV kit terminal block TB1 (see Table 1). 3) With the power supply off, connect the power supply to the MAX4455 EV kit terminal block TB1 (see Table 1). 4) Install the EV system software on your computer by running the INSTALL.EXE program on the CD-ROM. The program files are copied and icons are created for them in the Windows Start menu. Note: Windows 2000 requires an extra installation step; refer to file win2000.pdf. 5) Ensure that the MAX4358 jumpers JU1­JU4 are open. 6) Turn on the power supply. 7) Connect the 25-pin I/O extension cable between the computer's parallel port and the MAX4358 EV kit. The MAX4358 EV kit includes a suitable 25-pin I/O extension cable. Snap on the included ferrite bead to reduce PC-generated noise from affecting the video boards. 8) Start the program by opening its icon in the Start menu. 9) Connect video signal sources to IN00...IN03 on the MAX4358 EV kit. 10 Connect video displays to OUT00...OUT03 on the MAX4358 EV kit. 11) Confirm that the software successfully connected video source IN00 to video monitor OUT00. The video signal should be visible on the monitor.
Detailed Description of Software
The MAX4455 EV kit software is a simple but effective p a i n t program that draws on the on-screen display memory. There are nine drawing windows: one for each of the eight on-screen display channels, and a master window for simultaneously writing multiple channels. The large blue area represents the on-screen display memory. Each pixel in this area corresponds to one pixel in the on-screen display memory. Transparent areas are blue. The OSDKEY signal is automatically generated for any pixel that is not transparent. The software implements a few simple tools for drawing lines, b o x e s , and text. User-generated graphics can be loaded from standard Windows bitmap files, and the contents of the on-screen display can be saved to a standard Windows bitmap file. Tables 2­10 describe the buttons found on various toolbars.

Loading and Saving Files
T h e MAX4455 on-screen display uses 15-level grayscale patterns. When the MAX4455 EV kit software saves an image as a windows bitmap, each pixel of the on-screen display image is converted from 15-level grayscale into an equivalent RGB value: osd_value &= 0x0F; if (osd_value == 0) { unsigned __int8 red = 0; unsigned __int8 green = 0; unsigned __int8 blue = 255; } else { unsigned __int8 greyscale_nybble = osd_value + 1; double luma = (greyscale_nybble * 256.0 / 16.0); if (luma > 255.0) { luma = 255.0; } if (luma 15+1) { greyscale_nybble = 15+1; } if (greyscale_nybble < 1+1) { greyscale_nybble = 1+1; } osd_control_value = greyscale_nyb ble - 1;
Creating Test Patterns
Simple brightness-gradient test patterns can be drawn interactively using the horizontal or vertical luma bar drawing tool. Click the desired tool button ( or ), and then drag the mouse across the opposite corners of the desired region. The white bar is always drawn near where the mouse is first clicked. All 15 grayscale levels are drawn, and one additional transparent bar is drawn just after the black bar. Custom test patterns can be created using any paint program that can read and write Windows bitmap files. Always start with a pure saturated blue background (RGB value of red = 0, green = 0, blue = 255) for a transparent background. C a p t u r e any program's output by pressing ALT+ PrintScreen, then paste into the Windows Paint program and save as a bitmap. For example: 1) Run the MAX4455 EV kit software. 2) Click the View Channel 0 button ( 3) Draw some luma bars ( palette (optional). or ). ) to use as a drawing

4) Locate your monitor's overscan boundary by pointing the camera at a black field, choose a contrasti n g drawing color ( ) , select the free-hand drawing tool ( ), and drag the mouse around the edges of the on-screen display (optional). 5) Click the Save All button ( screen display memory. ), saving the empty on-
6) Edit the saved bitmap using any suitable paint program. 7) L o a d your newly created test pattern using the Load All button ( ). The test pattern is copied into the on-screen display memory.
Using Shared Memory
The MAX4455 can insert a horizontal band of on-screen display information from a different channel. This example draws vertical bars on channel 0 and horizontal bars on channel 2, then shares part of the channel 0 memory into the channel 2 display. 1) Click the View Channel 0 button ( ). 2) Maximize the window. 3) Click the Vertical luma bars ( ) drawing tool, and drag the mouse from the upper-left corner of the drawing area to the lower-right corner of the drawing area. (Once drawing begins, minimize the window to improve drawing speed.) 4) Click the View Channel 2 button ( 5) Maximize the window. ).
