on-air) output signal.
• Chroma Key — A type of key where the hole-cutting information is derived from a
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).
