pw Overview

This unit is a 1 ME digital video switcher which supports a multiple number of HD and SD formats. Despite its compact size, it comes with eight SDI inputs, one DVI-D input, five SDI outputs and one DVI-D output. The unit comes with a luminance key and chroma keys provided as keyers in addition to the background transitions based on the cut, mix and wipe functions. It also has one DSK line and two PinP lines for enabling video recording, playback and a host of other video production functions.

1-1-2. Selecting the bus using the SHIFT

function

The SHIFT function enables two materials to be allocated — the front material and the rear material — to one button, and the materials to be selected using the [SHIFT] button. A total of 24 materials — front materials (1 to 12) and rear materials (13 to 24) — can be allocated to the three groups of 12 crosspoint buttons whether these buttons are the PGM/A bus crosspoint buttons, PST/B bus crosspoint buttons or AUX bus crosspoint buttons.

There are actually two SHIFT functions: “All SHIFT” for switching all the front materials to the rear materials or vice versa, and “Single SHIFT” for switching the front material of one crosspoint button with its rear material or vice versa. “All SHIFT” works once the SHIFT function has been allocated to one of the user buttons. “Single SHIFT” works once the SHIFT function has been allocated to the No.12 or No.1 crosspoint button of the crosspoint button group concerned by a menu operation.

All SHIFT

All SHIFT is used to switch all the materials of the PGM/A bus crosspoint buttons, PST/B bus crosspoint buttons or AUX bus crosspoint buttons from front materials to rear materials or vice versa. The user button to which the SHIFT function has been allocated is used to switch between the front materials and rear materials.

Since the luminance and chroma keys are operated as self keys, the key fill signals are used as the key source signals. For the full key, the images on the full screen are used as the key source signals. When the luminance key, chroma key or full key has been selected as the key type, the key signals will remain unchanged even when the key source signals are switched.

When using the linear key, use material with a black background and white characters or shape to be combined by the key as the key source signal. Material which is not black and white may not be combined clearly. Material with a white background and black characters, etc. can be reversed using the key invert function for use.

This is for creating the key signals from the luminance component or luminance and chroma component of the key ﬁll signal.

This is for creating the key signals from the luminance component of the key source signal. It is used when the key source signal and key ﬁll signal are different.

[Detail–] [Detail+]

In these modes, the noise in the background image can be removed step by step. This is a useful way of adjusting images lost by other sampling operations to adjust the texture or transparency of images.

[–] Detail [+]

[Matte Sponge]

In this mode, the semi-transparent parts of the subject in a foreground image are selected and made matte (non-transparent). Unlike [Clean FG Noise] on the Sample sub menu, the color information is not changed in the process. With [Clean FG Noise], the colors of the selected parts are restored to their original colors but, with [Matte Sponge], only the semi-transparent keys are made matte (non-transparent) while the colors remain unchanged and the original colors are not restored.

[Make FG Trans]

In this mode, the transparency of areas with a low transparency in the foreground image is increased. This is useful when, for instance, areas covered with dark smoke or clouds in a foreground image are to be made semi-transparent.

[Restore Detail]

In this mode, the transparency of areas with a high transparency in the background image is reduced. This is useful when, for instance, restoring the details of an image (such as an image with a subject who has loose hair or an image with smoke), which have been lost as a result of a [Clean BG Noise] or other such operation on the Sample sub menu, to what they were in the original image.
