Description

This is a 1 ME digital video switcher which supports a multiple number of HD and SD formats. Despite its compact dimensions, the video switcher comes standard with 4 input connectors and can support 8 input connectors when an option board is used. It also has a multi-view display function that allows split-screen display with up to 10 screens. It is capable of providing transitions (wipe, mix and DVE) as video effects, and keyer (luminance keys and chroma keys), DSK and PinP specialized hardware is provided as a standard feature to enable video productions in many different forms. The unit also supports SD memory cards so still image data (BMP) can be imported from SD memory cards into the unit’s frame memories for use as background images or key materials.

Features

Compact design, wide variety of input/output signals

 As a standard feature

board is added, HD/SD analog component and DVI-I signals can also be accommodated. The input optional board contains an up-converter. Under the standard specifications, there are four SDI lines for the input signals, and this number can be



optionally increased by the user up to eight lines (supported by the optional board). Similarly, there are three SDI lines for the output signals under the standard specifications, and this number can be optionally increased by the user to five lines (PGM, PVW, AUX, KEYOUT and multi view displpay).

Multiple formats supported

Both HD formats (1080/59.94i, 1080/50i, 7 well as the DVI-I format are supported for the signals.

, the HD and SD-SDI formats are supported for the input and output signals. If an optional

Multi view display function

This unit enables up to 10 lines of program video (PGM), preview video (PVW) and input video signals to be displayed altogether on a single screen at the same time.

Frame synchronizer system and external synchronization system supported

 A high-performance 10-bit frame synchronizer is incorporated for all the inputs, and asynchronous video

signals can be input. By using the black burst (BB) output, it is possible to construct a system referenced to the synchronization of the switcher. A genlock function is provided, and an external synchronization system using external sync signals (BB or TRI

signals) as a reference are also supported.

Many different effect functions incorporated

 Along with the standard wipe, mix and cut functions

transitions. The unit comes with luminance ke



in the form of the DSK (downstream key) and PinP (picture in picture) functions as a standard option, enabling video productions in many different forms.

SD memory cards supported

Still image data (BMP) can be imported from SD memory cards into the unit’s frame memories for use as background images or key materials. Conversely, the images or setting data in the unit’s frame memories can be stored on the SD memory cards.

Simple operations

Live transmissions can be delivered speedily thanks to the simple panel layout which enables the various functions to be operated directly. Presetting and other similar operations are performed using menus in the form of on-screen displays (OSD) which appear on the unit’s LCD screen or an external monitor.

ys and chroma keys are provided as keyers as well as specialized hardware

Precautions for use

 Handle carefully.

Do not drop the product, or subject it to strong shock or vibration.

Do not carry or move the product by the fader lever. This is important to prevent trouble.

 Use the product in an ambient temperature of 32 °F to 104 °F (0 °C to 40 °C).

Avoid using the product at a cold place below 32 °F (0 °C) or at a hot place above 104 °F (40 °C) because

extremely low or high temperature will adversely affect the parts inside.

 Power off before connecting or disconnecting cables.

Before plugging or unplugging the cables, be sure to switch power off.

 Avoid humidity and dust.

Avoid using the product at a humid, dusty place because much humidity and dust will cause damage to the

parts inside.

 Maintenance

Wipe the product using a dry cloth. To remove stubborn dirt, dip a cloth into a diluted solution of kitchen

detergent, wring it out well, and wipe the product gently. Then, after wiping the product with a moist cloth, wipe it again with a dry cloth.

Caution

• Avoid using benzine, paint thinners and other volatile fluids.

• If a chemical cleaning cloth is to be used, carefully read through the precautions for its use.

 Precaution to be observed during production

This product’s image switching and image effect functions can be used to produce images which flicker rapidly

or images which change rapidly.

How

ever, bear in mind when using these functions in production that the kinds of images produced may have

an adverse effect on the viewer’s physical well-being.

 Handling the optional boards

Be absolutely sure to turn off the power of the product before installing or removing any of the optional boards. Furthermore, when installing or removing the optional boards, take care not to hurt yourself on the edges and

metal parts of the boards.

 When the product is to be discarded

When the product is to be discarded at the end of its service life, ask a specialized contractor to dispose of it

properly in order to protect the environment.

3-3-6. Adjusting the chroma key

These steps are taken to adjust the chroma key definition. Before proceeding with the adjustments, select “Chroma” as the Type item setting in “3-3-1. Selecting the key type.”

The signal for the chroma key is created using a specific color tone as a reference. For instance, the background color is detected from the image of a person who is standing in front of a specific background color, the key signal is created, and a different background is combined.

This unit employs an area system which is designated using a rectangular frame. The color of the pixels inside the area which have been averaged is used as the reference color of the chroma key (key reference), and the maximum deviation from the average value is used as the radius of the chroma key oval. Chroma keys faithful to the chroma space sample (area C in the figure) can be generated.

Frame memory data (still image data):

4-bit (uncompressed) BMP (bitmap) is the only file for created using another device such as a personal computer, save the data as 24-bit (uncompressed) BMP files. This unit cannot resize the images so resize them appropriately using another device such as a personal computer before saving them on the SD memory card.

If the sizes are different, the center of the images will be lined up. If the image is large, it will be cropped. If the image is small, the area around it will be filled in with a black border.

The pixels of images in SD format are not square, so the aspect ratio will be different when the images are displayed on the computer and when they are imported into frame memory (with NTSC format, they will be vertically long).
