color rather than from a video level. An common example on television, is when the weatherman appears to be standing in front of a map. The map itself is a video signal, and the weatherman is in fact standing in front of a green (or blue) screen. On the switcher, the Chroma Key process electronically subtracts the color from the foreground image, and replaces it with video from the background image to form a composite image.
Clip, Gain, Opacity — In switcher terminology, the process of fine-tuning a key of
any type (luminance, linear, or chroma). Clipping sets the threshold for the hole­cutting circuitry, while "gain" defines the range and sensitivity of adjustment. The "opacity" is the transparency or density of the key, as revealed over a background.
Chassis Cards — In addition to the required M/E and System cards, the
following cards that can be installed in the chassis, enabling you to configure the switcher in many flexible ways. These cards are abbreviated as follows:
~ NIC (Native Input Card) — provides eight native video inputs. ~ UIC (Universal Input Card) — provides two universal scaler inputs. ~ UOC (Universal Output Card) — provides two universal auxiliary outputs. ~ NAC (Native Aux Output Card) — provides eight native auxiliary outputs. ~ DVE (Digital Video Effects) — provides two “2D” DVE channels.
CLN (Clean Feed) — An output of an M/E that originates upstream of the M/E’s
keyers. For example, if the output of M/E 1 is Camera 1 plus a key, the “clean” output is Camera 1 only, minus the key.
Computer Video — A generic term indicating video that originates from a
computer platform. A progressive scan signal that follows VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) standards, with typical resolutions of 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 1024, etc.
Crosspoint — The video switch (or button) that selects the input required on a
particular switcher bus.
Cut — an instantaneous switch from one video source to another.
DA (Distribution Amplifier) — A video device that inputs one video signal, and
outputs multiple “identical” signals.
DSK (Downstream Keyer) — A DSK is a key that is electronically located after all
other switcher functions — visually on top of all other layers and buses. Any operations performed “upstream” on the switcher M/Es will not affect the downstream key video.

Glossary of Switcher Terms
DVE (Digital Video Effects) — A special effects generator with the ability to create
PIP effects, reduce and enlarge images, create borders and shadows around those images, and create keyframes for motion paths. See PIP and Keyframe for additional information.
EXT (External) — A digital key input that is dedicated to the DSK.
Fader — see T-Bar.
FTB (Fade to Black) — The button which enables the TD (Technical Director) to
fade everything on Program, including the DSK, to or from black.
GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) — One or more communications ports that
control input and output "triggering." For example, with a GPI (input) trigger, an external peripheral device can trigger a specified switcher function. With a GPO (output) trigger, the switcher can trigger an external device.
GUI (Graphical User Interface) — A term that describes a status display based on
graphics and icons, rather than strictly on numbers and letters.
HD-SDI (High Definition Serial Digital Interface) — a high definition SDI signal
(SMPTE 292M). Example formats are 720p, 1080i, and 1080p.
Keyframe — In a PIP “move,” a keyframe is a point where an action or change
occurs. For example, when a PIP moves from the upper right corner to full screen, keyframe 1 is the upper right position, and keyframe 2 is the full screen position of the PIP.
Keying — The process of superimposing video from one source (the foreground)
on top of another source (the background).
Key Fill — The video which fills the hole cut by the keying circuitry. Typically,
switchers provide a variety of choices for the fill source — internal mattes, external video, or "self" fill are several examples.
Key Mask — A key modification system that protects a portion of the foreground
video from being keyed, using the switcher’s internal pattern system.
Key Signal — also known as Key Source. The signal that electronically cuts the
hole in the background video signal. Key signals typically originate from external inputs such as character generators or cameras.
Linear Key — a keying mode in which the edges of anti-aliased key sources
(such as character generators) are reproduced clearly. Typically, two separate signals are required from a linear key source: a cut and a fill.
M/E (Mix/Effects) — The section (or "bank") of a video switcher where video
signals are processed to select inputs and create mixes, wipes, keys and other effects. An M/E is essentially a video layer that can be combined with other M/Es (layers) to form the entire output of the switcher.
Menu — A term used to describe buttons and functions on the high-resolution
color LCD touch screen.
Mix — also known as a Dissolve. A transition between two video sources in
which one source fades out as the other fades in.
Multiviewer (MVR) — a monitoring system that enables multiple sources (input
and outputs) to be displayed on one or two monitors, eliminating the need for individual source monitors. By utilizing different arrays of PIPs, users can select the preferred multiviewer “look,” and streamline control room operations.
Native Resolution — The resolution to which all processing is set within the
switcher frame, e.g., SD-SDI (SMPTE 259M, Level C) or HD-SDI (SMPTE 292M).

The DVE (Digital Video Effects) card is an optional 2-D two-channel scaler card. When one or two DVE cards are installed, the DVE Assign Menu enables you to assign DVE channels to any keyer on the control panel. Then, using the DVE Menu, you can create single keyframe and two keyframe DVE effects.
The following rules apply:
One DVE card provides two internal DVE channels.
Two DVE cards provide four available internal DVE channels.
DVE channels can be assigned to a keyer’s “cut” and/or “fill” inputs. This feature
provides a great deal of flexibility. For example:
~ To “fly” a PIP or a luma key, one DVE channel is required. Assign a DVE
channel to the desired keyer’s “cut” signal.
~ To “fly” a linear key, two DVE channels are required. Assign DVE
channels to the desired keyer’s “cut” and “fill” signals.
~ To “fly” a split key, either one or two DVE channels are required
(depending on the effect you want to create). Assign channels to the desired keyer’s “cut” and/or “fill” signals.
Please note:
A rear panel is not required with the DVE card — a blank panel is installed
instead.
Because DVE channels are assigned to specific keyers, input selection for the
channels is performed on the keyer’s associated key bus — in the same way that key sources are selected.
LEDs on the DVE card’s front edge provide power and FPGA status. Refer to the
Card LEDs” section on page 64 for details.
Refer to the “Card Slot Allocation and Syst em Fl ex ibility on DVE card configurations in the FSN-1400. Refer to Chapter 8, “DVE Operations,” for complete information on DVE assignment, DVE menus and operations.

The PGM Bank is the switcher’s top video layer. The bank includes two physical buses (PGM and PST), and one “phantom” KEY bus. Together, these buses are the switcher’s primary location where you cut your program and transition to M/E setups. Please note:
The PGM Bank has an associated PGM Transition Section to its right, where
effects and transitions (such as mixes, wipes and keys) are set up using the sources selected in the buses.
Using the Memory/Transition Section, you can store all or part of the PGM bank.
The PGM Bank provides tally indications similar to the M/E. In Chapter 7, refer to
the “Understanding Tally” section on page 315 for details.
The buses in the PGM Bank operate in “flip-flop” mode. In Chapter 7, refer to the
Understanding Flip- flop Mode” section on page 314 for details.
Button color has important significance. In Chapter 7, refer to the
Understanding Button Color ” section on page 311 for details.

2) Program Bus
The Program Bus (PGM) is the bank’s bottom layer, which is used to select the switcher’s primary output video. Please note:
~ Except for SHIFT, all buttons on the PGM Bus are mutually exclusive,
including the re-entry button.
3) Preset and Phantom Key Bus
This bus has three functions:
~ The PST Bus is used to select the next background source. ~ Because there is no physical Key Bus in the PGM Bank, the PST Bus
doubles as the bank’s “phantom” key bus for the downstream keyer. To assign a key source, press and hold the DSK button, select the desired key source from the buttons on PST, then release the DSK button.
~ When a DVE channel is assigned to the DSK, the phantom key bus
enables you to select the input to the DVE channel — in the same manner that DSK sources are selected.
Please note:
~ Except for SHIFT, all buttons on the PST Bus are mutually exclusive,
including the re-entry button.
~ When a PST source is taken to Program with a transition, the source
“flips” to PGM. In Chapter 7, refer to the “Understanding Flip-flop
Mode” section on page 314 for details.
4) Re-entry Buttons
At the end of each bus, the Re-entry Button allows you to combine the program output of the M/E into the video flow of the selected bus. For example:
S You can re-enter M/E 1 on PGM, PST or the Phantom Key Bus.
This re-entry capability enables you to cut, mix or wipe to an M/E, or use an M/E as a key source.
Note
5) SHIFT Buttons
All SHIFT buttons are latching. Press to access additional sources as follows:
The Re-entry Button can be mapped, using the Map Buttons Menu. For example, if M/E control is enabled on the FSN-150, you can map M/E 2 onto the “shifted” M/E re-entry button. In Chapter 5, re fer to the “Map Buttons Menu section on page 224 for details.

The following rules apply to both buttons in the Next Transition Group:
The Key Menu can be used at any time to adjust DSK parameters, whether or not the key is on. In Chapter 5, refer to the “Keyer Menu” section on page 157 for details.
~ As you enable or disable buttons in the group, the selected layer appears
(or is removed) on the bank’s Preview output.
~ At the end of a transition (either manual or automatic), all buttons that
you enabled in the group remain on. This allows you to transition back to the previous look.
~ Both buttons work in combination with the bank’s MIX, WIPE, CUT,
AUTO TRAN button and the T-Bar. For example:
S If you arm BG and MIX, and then press AUTO TRAN, the transition
automatically mixes to the selected source.
S If you arm DSK, BG and WIPE, and then move the T-Bar, the
transition manually wipes to the selected source plus DSK.
S If you arm DSK and then press CUT, the DSK cuts on or off.

keyframe 2 to 1. Single keyframe DVE effects can only be mixed or wiped up or down — they cannot be triggered.
CUT
AUTO TRAN
Important
The following criteria must be met in order to enable the FX TRIG button:
One or two DVE cards must be installed.
A DVE channel must be assigned to the keyer that
you wish to use.
The DVE mode in the Key Menu must be “on.”
KEY 1 and/or KEY 2 must be enabled.
A two-keyframe effect must be loaded in the selected
DVE channel.
If any of these criteria are not met, the button will not light.
Because DVE channels are assigned to keyers, there are three ways that you can work with two-keyframe DVE effects:
Mix or wipe only
Mix or wipe the DVE effect up or down (just like a normal key) — without an effects trigger.
S Press KEY 1, press MIX (or WIPE), press AUTO TRAN.
Mix or wipe plus trigger
Mix or wipe the DVE effect up or down — and simultaneously trigger the effect.
S Press KEY 1, press MIX (or WIPE) + FX TRIG, press
AUTO TRAN.
Trigger effect only
Trigger the DVE effect only, without a mix or wipe transition.
S Press KEY 1, press FX TRIG, press AUTO TRAN.
In Chapter 8, refer to the “Automatic DVE Triggering” section on page 396 for complete details.
5) Cut
Press CUT to instantly cut to the layers that are enabled in the Next Transition Section. For example:
S BG enabled — press CUT to cut from BG to PST. S KEY 1 enabled — press CUT to cut Key 1 on or off. S BG + KEY 2 enabled — press CUT to cut from BG to PST, and
simultaneously cut Key 2 on or off.
6) Auto Transition
Press AUTO TRAN to trigger an automatic transition, an effects trigger, or a combination trigger plus transition — to or from the layers enabled in the Next
Transition Group. The transition uses the “type” of transition enabled in the Effects Group, and the M/E’s current transition rate and curve.
For example:
S BG + MIX enabled — press AUTO TRAN to mix from BG to PST. S BG + WIPE enabled — press AUTO TRAN to wipe from BG to PST.

S KEY 1 + MIX enabled — press AUTO TRAN to mix Key 1 on or off. S BG + KEY 2 + MIX enabled — press AUTO TRAN to mix from BG
to PST, and simultaneously mix Key 2 on or off.
S KEY 1 + KEY 2 + WIPE enabled — press AUTO TRAN to wipe Key
1 and Key 2 on or off.
S KEY 1 + FX TRIG enabled — press AUTO TRAN to trigger the DVE
effect on Keyer 1 only.
S KEY 1 + MIX + FX TRIG enabled — press AUTO TRAN to mix the
DVE effect up or down — and simultaneously trigger the effect.
Press AUTO TRAN during the transition interval to pause the transition. The
Transition LEDS indicate the point at which the transition is paused. Press AUTO TRAN again to continue in the same direction. You can pause and
continue repeatedly.
Note
Use the Transition Menu to change transition rates and curves. Remember that the M/E’s transition rate appears in the T ransition Display . In Chapter 5, refer to the “Transition
Menu” section on page 148 for details.
Note
You can use AUTO TRAN and the T-Bar together. For example, you can start a transition manually, and continue it automatically. In Chapter 7, refer to the “Working with
Mixes” section on page 331 for full details.
7) Direct Key Control Group
The four buttons in the Direct Key Control Group enable you to directly control the two keyers in the M/E, without the need to arm them in the Next Transition Group. When you use these buttons, the red LEDs above the KEY 1 and KEY 2 buttons function in the normal way.

~ Press CUT KEY 2 to immediately cut Key 2 fully on or off
Please note the following important points regarding the Direct Control buttons:
~ Unlike the AUTO TRANS button, the two MIX KEY buttons cannot be
paused. Once pressed, the transition completes fully.
~ The buttons cannot be used to trigger DVE effects — but they can be
used to mix or cut DVE effects on or off.
~ When the T-Bar is positioned between the BG and PST buses (off of a
limit), almost all transitions are possible. For example:
S BG + MIX enabled — if the T-Bar is positioned half-way between the
BG and PST buses (creating a 50% mix), pressing CUT KEY 1 cuts the key in (or out) over the mix.
S BG + WIPE enabled — if the T-Bar is positioned half-way between
the BG and PST buses (creating a split-screen wipe), pressing MIX KEY 2 mixes in the key over the split screen.
S KEY 1 + MIX enabled — if the T-Bar is positioned half-way between
the BG and PST buses (creating a 50% mix of the key), pressing MIX KEY 1 mixes in the key to 100%.
S KEY 1 + WIPE enabled — if the T-Bar is posi ti oned half-way
between the BG and PST buses (wiping the key halfway on), pressing MIX KEY 1 is inhibited. However, pressing CUT KEY 1 can be performed.
~ The two MIX KEY buttons transition at the M/E’s auto transition rate.
Use the Transition Menu to change rates. In Chapter 5, refer to the “Transition Menu” section on page148 for complete details.
~ The Transition LEDs do not change state when MIX KEY 1 and MIX
KEY 2 are used.

The Aux Output Row enables you to select the specific Aux output to which you want to route a source. When a source is assigned to an Aux output, that source is immediately switched to the corresponding Aux output connector.
Please note:
~ Six native Aux outputs are provided as standard (Aux 1 - 6). ~ On the Aux Output Row, outputs 1 - 8 are unshifted, while outputs 9 - 16
are accessed via SHIFT.
~ When additional Aux output cards are installed (UOCs and/or NACs),
use the Aux Setup Menu to map Aux outputs to the control panel, and name Aux outputs (if desired). In Chapter 5, refer to the “Aux Setup
Menu” section on page 240 for details.
~ Only 16 Aux outputs can be switched from the FSN-150, but up to 30
Aux output channels can be installed. To view all Aux outputs and their source assignments simultaneously, use the Aux Menu. In Chapter 5, refer to the “Aux Menu
” section on page 186 for details.
~ On the Aux Output Row, only one button can be selected at a time.
When a button is pressed, the current associated source on the Aux Source Row lights.

2) Aux Source Row
The Aux Source Row provides all the sources available on the switcher’s main buses, plus dedicated buttons for the switcher’s PGM and M/E outputs. When you select a source, it is routed to the output selected on the Aux Output Row.
The following rules apply:
~ The sources on the Aux Source Row are identical to those on the
switcher’s main buses. If a button map is changed on the main rows, it also changes on the Aux Source Row.
~ On the FSN-150, sources 1 through 10 are unshifted. Sources 11
through 20 are accessed via SHIFT.
~ Source assignments on the row can be changed at any time. ~ One clean feed source can be mapped to the ASSIGN button. See
below for details.
~ Only one button on the Aux Source Row can be lit at a time. This
button shows the source that is assigned to the selected Aux output. In the figure below, source 2 is assigned to Aux output 2:
