Precautions

Operate unit only on the specified supply voltage.

Disconnect power cord by connector only. Do not pull on cable portion.

Do not place or drop heavy or sharp-edged objects on power cord. A damaged cord can cause fire or electrical shock hazards. Regularly check power cord for excessive wear or damage to avoid possible fire / electrical hazards.

Ensure unit is properly grounded at all times to prevent electrical shock hazard.

Do not ground the unit to gas lines, units, or fixtures of an explosive or dangerous nature.

Ensure power cord is firmly plugged into AC outlet.

Do not operate unit in hazardous or potentially explosive atmospheres. Doing so

could result in fire, explosion, or other dangerous results.

Do not allow liquids, metal pieces, or other foreign materials to enter the unit. Doing so could result in fire, other hazards, or unit malfunction.

If foreign material does enter the unit, turn power off and disconnect power cord immediately. Remove material and contact authorized service representative if damage has occurred.

Handle with care to avoid shocks in transit. Shocks may cause malfunction. When you need to transport the unit, use the original packing materials or alternate adequate packing.

[Circuitry Access]

Do not remove covers, panels, casing, or access circuitry with power applied to the

unit! Turn power off and disconnect power cord prior to removal. Internal servicing / adjustment of unit should only be performed by qualified personnel.

Do not touch any parts / circuitry with a high heat factor. Capacitors can retain enough electric charge to cause mild to serious shock, even after power is disconnected. Capacitors associated with the power supply are especially hazardous. Avoid contact with any capacitors.

Unit should not be operated or stored with cover, panels, and / or casing removed. Operating unit with circuitry exposed could result in electric shock / fire hazards or unit malfunction.

If abnormal smells or noises are noticed coming from the unit, turn power off immediately and disconnect power cord to avoid potentially hazardous conditions. If problems similar to above occur, contact authorized service representative before attempting to again operate unit.

To rack mount or ground the unit, or to install rubber feet, do not use screws or materials other than those supplied. Otherwise, it may cause damage to the internal circuits or components of the unit. If you remove the rubber feet attached on the unit, do not reinsert the screws securing the rubber feet.

The consumables used in unit must be replaced periodically. For further details on which parts are consumables and when they should be replaced, refer to the specifications at the end of the Operation Manual. Since the service life of the consumables varies greatly depending on the environment in which they are used, they should be replaced at an early date. For details on replacing the consumables, contact your dealer.

Video signals that are input to the switcher are assigned to the bus buttons on the control panel for usage. The assigned signals are shared by the M/E(PGM/PST) and KEY/AUX bus sections. As factory default settings, video inputs, Stills and Mattes are assigned to the bus buttons. The video source assignments are freely changeable. To prevent accidental button operation, the Button Inhibit function is also available.  See section 5-2. "How to Assign Sources to Bus Buttons."

7-1. Selecting Video Sources

7-1-1. Selecting Video Sources on the PGM/PST

Press the desired bus button on the PGM bus. The button light will turn red and the video signal assigned to the selected bus button is displayed on the program output screen.

Press the desired bus button on the PST bus. The button light will turn orange and the video signal assigned to the selected bus button is displayed on the preview output screen. Then move the fader lever from end to end to check how the button indication changes as the signals are switched. Once the transition is complete, the selected signals on PGM and PST are switched (flip-flop). The switcher's primary operation is to select the next video on the PST bus and send it to air via transition. And to repeat the process over and over.

8-8-1. Selecting a Pattern

(1) Press WIPE in the transition block to display the [TRANS] (1/6) menu. The pattern

number and thumbnail will be displayed as shown in the menus below.

(2) Turn F4 to select a pattern. The Direct Pattern function allows users to select patterns quickly.

 See section 8-8-3. "Direct Pattern Function."

Available Patterns are: There are two types of preset patterns: WIPE and DVE. MIX, FAM or NAM can also be elected as pattern types.

Only one pattern can be selected for all BKGD, KEY1 and KEY2 buses. Note that if WIPE is set for a bus, WIPE cannot be set for another bus. In such case, cancel WIPE by selecting MIX for the current bus, then press the WIPE button again for the desired bus.

Page 68

8-8-2. Use Limitations for Pattern Transitions

 When using a WIPE type pattern (0-99):

Pattern transitions cannot be simultaneously performed both on KEY1 and KEY2.

If both KEY1 and KEY2 pattern transitions are performed, one transition is automatically

changed to MIX.

 When using a DVE type pattern (100-137):

Either BKGD, KEY1 or KEY2 bus can perform pattern transitions.

If the WIPE type cannot be set, a DVE pattern must be assigned to another bus. Deselect

WIPE in another bus and set WIPE again for the bus.

Note that 2D DVE menu settings are all disabled while a pattern transition is being performed

on KEY1 or KEY2.

 See section 9-8. "DVE Effects on KEY/DSK."

If 2D DVE is enabled on all four key buses, KEY1, KEY2, DSK1 and DSK2, BKGD pattern

transitions cannot be performed. In such case, set 2D DVE to OFF on any bus. Then press

WIPE again for BKGD.

 See section 9-8-1. "How to Enable 2D DVEs."

 When using FAM (Pattern 201) or NAM (Pattern 202):

FAM or NAM transitions cannot be performed on KEY1 and KEY2. If selecting Pattern 201 or

202 for a key, transitions are performed with MIX instead FAM or NAM.

The Direct Pattern Selection feature allows users to select a pattern easily and quickly. The feature uses the number buttons on the keypad (0-9), to which WIPE patterns previously registered can be recalled at the touch of a button. Up to 20 patterns can be registered as direct patterns under two pages (PAGE 0 and PAGE 1). As an operational example, let's save Pattern 20 to the Direct Pattern memory and load it to a WIPE transition.

To Register Pattern 20 to Button 1 (PAGE 0):

(1) Press WIPE in the transition block to display the [TRANS] (1/6) menu. (2) Turn F4 to select 20.

To perform background transitions that do not fully switch pictures, proceed as follows.

(2) Turn F2 to set to 90.0. Turn F3 to set to ON under TRANS LIMIT.

(3) Let's perform background MIX or WIPE transitions by pressing AUTO or moving the fader

lever. The transition must be completed before the background pictures are fully switched. The default settings are 100.0 and OFF. With this setting, the transition is complete with fully

switching pictures. In the following menu pages, the transition limit for KEY1-2 and DSK1-2 can be set in the same way

The chromakey method of key signal creation, which uses a chroma component instead of a luminance component, is mostly used to composite moving subjects such as a person inside a virtual background environment. For example, to place a person over a virtual background, first film the person standing in front of a background such as a blue screen. The blue part of the filmed image is detected and will be used to create the key signal.

The switcher has a single chromakey generator, which generates chromakey Fill and Key

signals by specifying a video signal and chromakey color. The Fill and Key signals can be output respectively from AUX outputs, and assigned to any KEY or DSK on the switcher to display the output onto the background video.

This chapter explains how to create and combine a chromakey with background video and adjust the appearance using KEY1 as an example .

10-1. Creating a Chromakey

Setting Up KEY1

(1) Select a signal to be used as a background on the PGM bus. (2) Double-press KEY1 above the KEY/AUX block to display the [KEY1 SETUP] menu (3) Turn F1 to select INS/SRC, and press F1 or the page down button. (4) The [KEY1 - INS/SRC] menu is displayed. Turn F1 to set TYPE to BUS. (5)Turn F2 to set INSERT to CKFL and turn F3 to set SOURCE to CKKY.

(6) Press the KEY1 transition button in the bottom right of the control panel to display KEY1 on

the PGM image.
