1. GeneralDD35 Production Switcher

In modern Live-Production operators demand instant access to a wide variety of
desired image compositing functions in their digital production switchers. Success­ful work and best possible performance can only be attained when operators feel
comfortable in their driver’s seat. Therefore, DD35’s control panels are dedicated
to ease-of-use with a clearly structured, traditional Button-per-Function layout. Any
DD35 is an ideal production tool for live-sports, game-show and live news produc­tion, either in stationary studios or mobile applications. Furthermore, the advanced
control system with multiple-user access allows optimal use for complex post pro­duction in high-end online edit suites.

The control panels of the DD35 Production Switchers are designed with a conven­tional layout based on mixing levels (M/Es). This classic layout with matrix selection
on the left, followed by transition control and key adjustments for each ME is a famil­iar to many users.

To distinguish between individual functional groups, the various control groups are
subdivided into panels that are visually and structurally separated. Functions as­signed to only one M/E have colored title bars and frames. Functions af fecting more
than one ME are identified with grey title bars and grey frames. Buttons with related
functions are identified with grey bars. Lines indicate controls with related func­tions.

The many identical functions of the switcher use single assignable control panels
for lower priority functions and separate control panels for higher priority functions
such as keyer controls. Controls have multiple functions only if those functions are
related, such as matte color controls.

Assignable control panels include delegation buttons that assign the relevant con­trols to a particular switching component. The delegation buttons are located in the
same position on each panel.

During normal switcher operation, the assignable control panels are automatically
delegated to the appropriate function by simply activating that function. For exam­ple, selecting a key mask in M/E3, keyer 2, will automatically delegate the assign­able mask control panel to M/E3, keyer 2.

All switcher buttons have adjustable intensity to adapt to room lighting conditions.
The switcher is equipped with a PC-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) display

for the more complex switcher setup and timeline editing functions.

Operating Instructions – Rev. 16 / 10.2001

1. GeneralDD35 Production Switcher

All basic mainframes include:

 Power Supply
 Switcher Lookahead Preview
 Software package: The standard software includes many device drivers ac-

cording to the current state of development.

 1–4 Mix / Effect Stages
 Keyers and wipe generators see below (Key Functions, Wipe Generators).
 32 DSC/SDI inputs each with modifier (Input Correction) for lum., contrast, hue,

color balance.

 1 x sync input (analog blackburst)
 AUX–Buses see below (Output Processor).
 Fade-to-Black stage
 Up to 3 more, external DSKs
 3 x color backgrounds with 2 mattes each for washes (gradients).
 Up to 27 color generators, each with 2 mattes and color wash ramp. Ramp can

be Softened, Rotated and Positioned. For Key Fills, Key Borders,Wipe Bor­ders.

 Additional two more color generators in Montage Processor Option (incl. dual

color and wash)

 Preview modes: Look Ahead, Chromakey Cursor, Key, Mask, Transition.
 10 x RS485 or RS422 serial interfaces
 Protocols for edit systems, DVEs, Routers etc., partly optional. (min. 1 RS485

port for extern Tally/GPI needed !)

 5 x RS232C serial interface
 Modem port RS232C (not yet implemented)
 8 internal GPI inputs, 8 internal GPI outputs

Limitation using small mainframe

 In conjunction with the small mainframe, the switcher–internal sources COL

BGD 2 and COL BGD 3 are not available.

 There is only one wipe generator board which, as in the DD35–4, is used by

both M/Es (WiperFlex). It can be determined by the configuration how to assign
the two generators on the board to the M/Es.

 A further restriction concerns the connections to the future FX processor (mon-

tage processor slot). Two of the input and output connections each lead to the
second input processor. It follows from this that with a minimum configuration
(only one input processor with 16 inputs) only two inputs and two outputs of the
FX processor can be used.

 2 x borderliners / shadow effects for every keyer
 Key masking: box per keyer, wipes or drawing (Paint-Mode-Masking)

1.1.6.1 Key Processor RY 1943 with 2x Chroma Keyers

ChromaKey in Key1 and 2:

 Based on a matting technique, DynaChrome achieves an excellent detail and

shadow reproduction, virtually no color spill.

 Clip, Gain and FGD-Fade can reduce back ground noise and eliminate most

unwanted shadows. The automatic key alignment (AKA) is pre-adjustable for
any key color. The cursor allows an AKA for every key color.

 Manual adjustment is possible, as well as separate adjustment for both adja-

cent hues (selectivities) and a radial displacement away from the center of the
color circle. Selectivity

 Masking is the ability that allows different Chromakey settings to be simulta-

neously executed in different image areas within single

1.1.7 OUTPUT PROCESSOR (GENERAL)

 One Output Processor (see below) is mandatory
 AUX buses (e.g. for DVE Video+Key, Aux-PVW) with auto-follow for various

preview functions.

 On Aux buses 1–5, the automatic internal line synchronization can be switched

off in order to allow external device loops (e.g. color correction ...). A feedback
of processed signals into the inputs works without additional 2V synchroniza­tion, provided their delay is some micro seconds only.

the color background.
The Wash-Key signal can be determined with a wipe generator or from a keyer.
The option does not store the actual colors, but the transition information be­tween them; i.e. with a stored color transition (via wipe), both mattes still can
be changed. Store content lost as soon as mixer is switched off.
Store gets inputs signals from M/E 1.

 Image Store (frame grabber) RC 2182

4:2:2 store for freezing one full frame. Frame, Field 1/2 select possible for sepa­rate save as well as readout. This allows for 2 separate videos to be stored with
half vertical resolution. Horizontally the store contents can be shifted +/– 128
pixel in + / – 64 steps. ”Grab” function implemented for photo snapshot function-
ality on video.
The input of the store can access all primary sources, as well as the internal
signals PVW, PGM and Clean Feed.
The image store content gets lost as soon as the mixer is switched off.
