Format Conversion and Frame Sync

The switcher has four input format converter / frame synchronizer (FCFS) channels that can be used for the following:

• Converting incoming video to the current switcher video format. The format converters can convert input video from many formats to the current switcher video format.

• Correcting mis-timed or drifting input signals in any of the supported video formats. The frame

formatted video streams, mis-timed switches, signal dropouts, or similar issues.

Understanding Aspect Ratio Conversion

Converting between video formats often requires converting between aspect ratios. Your switcher supports the following aspect ratio conversion methods:

• Full — The video signal is scaled

disproportionately to fill the display of the new aspect ratio. Aspect distortion occurs as the image is stretched/compressed to fit in the new aspect ratio.

Figure 2.1 Full Aspect Ratio Conversion

• Zoom — The central portion of the video signal

is zoomed to fill the display of the new video format. No aspect distortion is introduced but the edges of the video signal may be cropped.

Assigning FCFS Channels

FCFS channels are assigned to either specific inputs or bus-pairs. Each bus-pair requires two FCFS channels. The bus-pairs are as follows:

• PGM – Preset buses

• Key 1 Video – Key 1 Alpha buses

• Key 2 Video – Key 2 Alpha buses

• Key 3 Video – Key 3 Alpha buses

• Aux 1 – Not paired

• Aux 2 – Not paired

• Aux 3 – Not paired FCFS channels maintain separate settings for

different switcher video formats. This lets you change between switcher video formats without losing FCFS channel configurations.

Many video sources have an associated video source that contains alpha information. You must configure the switcher to use the correct alpha source. Once you associate a video and alpha source, they are linked and used for Auto-Select keying.

Alpha sources are designated as shaped or linear (unshaped). Shaped sources convert partial transparency to either fully transparent or fully opaque, giving the video signal well-defined edges.

Linear (unshaped) sources use the full range of transparency in the alpha channel to give smooth transitions between transparent and opaque areas. Use linear if you are unsure which setting to use.

Inputs can also be assigned to external devices that you are controlling from your switcher. Refer to the Ross Video External Device Setup Sheet for your device connection and configuration information.

This chapter describes the general operation of your switcher. Basic information is provided to help you become familiar with switcher operation.

Transition Overview

Transitions allow you to replace the on-air video source with another source. During a transition, the source you selected on the Preset bus becomes active on the Program bus and the source that was active on the Program bus is now active on the Preset bus.

You can perform the following types of transitions:

• Cuts — The video image instantly switches between selected sources.

• Dissolves — The video image gradually fades from the on-air source to the selected source.

• Wipes — The selected source wipes over the on-air source using a user-specified pattern and direction.

• DVE — The video image is taken off-air using a selected digital video effect.

• Media — The video image cuts to another video image behind a playing animation or still.

Note:

• If any of the inputs going on-air have an assigned GPI output, the GPI output is triggered and the switcher then waits the configured pre delay interval before performing the transition. If you perform a transition with the fader handle, the GPI output is triggered but the pre delay interval is ignored.

• If any of the inputs going on-air are assigned to a video server, the switcher waits for the configured pre delay interval before performing the transition. If you perform a transition with the fader handle, the pre delay interval is ignored.

For More Information on...

• assigning a GPI output to an input source, refer to the section “Triggering GPI Outputs” on page 4-15.

Performing a Transition

A transition can be performed on almost any combination of the background and keyers, depending on the type of transition you are performing, and what you are transitioning. These factors include the number of media resources you

have, and if you are trying to perform a background and keyer transition at the same time.

To perform a transition:

1. Select the elements to include in the next

transition by pressing any one of the following:

• BKGD

• KEY 1

• KEY 2

• KEY 3

2. Select the sources that you want to take on or

off-air.

• For a background transition (BKGD), select

the source on the Preset bus, that you want to take on-air. The selected source appears on your preview monitor.

• For a key transition, select the keys and sources on the Key/Aux bus that you want to take on-air.

3. Choose the type of transition you want to

perform:

• Press DISS to select a dissolve transition.

• Press WIPE to select a wipe transition.

• Press DVE to select a DVE transition.

Note:

• You must include the background when performing a DVE transition on a Chroma Key, Self Key, or Auto-Select Key. If you do not include the background, a dissolve transition is performed.

• Performing a DVE transition on a DVE Key without including the background scales the transition effect to the size of the DVE Key. This transition does not consume an additional DVE resource.

• Performing a DVE transition on a DVE Key with the background included does not scale the transition effect. This transition consumes the second DVE resource.

Media Transitions

A Media Transition allows you to use an animation to cover a transition. When the transition starts, the switcher plays the selected animation over top of the background and keys that are being transitioned. When the cut point () is reached, the switcher performs a cut transition. It is important to use a fullscreen image in the animation at the cut point so that the cut is not visible on-air.

To perform a media transition:

1. Prepare a transition using MEDIA as the

MEDIA

type of transition, but do not perform the transition.

2. Press NEXT.

3. Press the Browse knob.

4. Select the animation you want to use for the

transition. Ensure that you have already set the cut point for this still.

5. Press AUTO TRANS to perform the

transition.

Note:

• Although you can select a still image for a media transition, it is not recommended.

• Only Auto Transition should be used for Media transitions. Using the fader to perform the transition manually could result in jumps in the animation.

• The duration of the transition (Time) is set by the length of the animation.

For More Information on...

• on setting a cut point for a media transition, refer to the section “Media Transition Attributes” on page 7-5.

Basic UltraChrome Mode Settings

The following chroma key parameters can be adjusted in Basic Mode:

• Background Area — Allows you to modify the range of colors that are considered background and are masked out of the Chroma Key.

• Edge — Allows you to adjust the amount of edge softening applied to the foreground. This helps blend the foreground into the new background.

• Foreground Area — Allows you to modify the range of colors that are considered foreground and are not masked.

• Luminance — Allows you to adjust the overall brightness of the shadow, translucent, and foreground-background transition area to improve the Chroma Key appearance.

• Shadow — Allows you to adjust the amount of shadow extraction from the background. This is the actual shadow that the foreground subject is casting onto the screen.

• Spill — Allows you to remove background color casts that may spill into the foreground image (green color cast on the foreground from a green-screen for example).

• Foreground - Background Transition Gain — Allows you to adjust the transparency of the foreground - background transition area. This helps blend the foreground into the new background.

• Translucency — Allows you to adjust the size and transparency of translucent, or semi-transparent, areas.

Advanced UltraChrome Mode Settings

The following chroma key parameters can be adjusted in Advanced Mode:

An UltraChrome chroma key, in advanced mode, breaks the image into five elements which determine, or partially determine, which part of the image is keyed out, or removed.

• Background — Background elements are those

pixels in the source video that are the same color as the one you chose to key out. Note that the Shadow and translucent areas (see below) are completely contained within the Background area.

• Shadow — Shadow elements are those pixels in

the source video with colors that are within the Background range, but with lower luminance values, depending on the shadow range. You modify the Shadow range to cover darker areas of

CrossOver 16 User Manual (v4.0) Basic Operation • 3–7

Page 40

the background (e.g. where the foreground is

casting a shadow on the background screen).

• Translucency — Translucent elements are those

pixels in the source video that are in the Background range, but with higher luminance values than the Shadow range. Y ou can control the upper-end of the Translucency range by setting a wider hue-range to constrain the area. You can also control the transparency of the Translucent area.

• Transition — Transition elements are those pixels

in the source video with colors that are not within any of the previous three ranges and are also not considered part of the Foreground area. These are typically the pixels near the edge of the foreground, where it blends into the background.

• Foreground — Foreground elements are those

pixels that are not within the Background, Shadow, Translucency, or Transition ranges. This is the area with colors that will not be keyed out and will remain solid.

The remaining three adjustments that can be made to an Advanced UltraChrome chroma key allow you to adjust spill suppression, edge softness and luminance.

• Spill Suppress — Spill Suppression elements are

those pixels in the Foreground that have a noticeable tint of the Background color . This typically occurs around the edge of the foreground subject as glow from the background blue-screen or green-screen “spills” onto them.

• Edge Softness — Edge Softness lets you apply

varying degrees of softening to the Foreground edges to help it blend in with the underlying background image that it is being keyed over.

• Luminance — Luminance allows you to control

the overall brightness of Shadow, Translucency, and Transition areas as well as partial reflections to more closely match the Foreground brightness.

To adjust the chroma key in Advanced Mode:

1. Select the key you wish to modify (ensure it is

set as a Chroma key).

You can trigger GPI outputs manually or automatically.

Page 60

Automatically Triggering a GPI Output

WIPE

You can associate a GPI output with an input source, Media-Store channel, or matte. The GPI output is triggered whenever the associated source is taken to air.

A user-configurable delay may also be set for each input that inserts a delay after the GPI output is triggered but before the source it taken to air. This is useful for VTR pre-roll delay and other situations where an input source is not immediately ready to take to air.

Note:

• It is recommended to assign edge triggered GPI outputs to input sources.

performing a transition. You can choose from the following:

• Off — The GPI output is not triggered and

the pre-delay is ignored. The transition is performed immediately.

• On — The GPI output is triggered and the

switcher pauses for the pre-delay before performing the transition.

Note:

• The RlClip personality option must be set to User for you to override GPI output triggering.

For More Information on...

• setting the RlClip personality option, refer to the section “Transition Area Behavior” on page 2-14.

To associate a GPI output with an input source:

1. Press MENU.

2. Press the CONFIG Wipe Pattern button.

3. Press the Input knob to display the Input

menu.

4. Press NEXT until GPO is displayed.

5. Use the Input knob to select an input source

Note:

• You can not assign a GPI output to the Aux bus

special sources (AUX PGM, AUX PV, AUX

CLN, or AUX ALPHA)

Overriding an Automatically Triggered GPI Output

Y ou can quickly disable a GPI output trigger before a transition is performed.

T o disable the GPI output trigger:

1. Prepare a transition using DISS, WIPE, or DVE as the transition type, but do

Transition Pre-Delay

Inputs with assigned AMP devices or GPI outputs cause the switcher to wait for the defined pre-delay time before a transition takes the sources to air.

During the pre-delay time, you can override the countdown and cut the Program or Key bus on-air immediately. Alternately, you can abort the pending transition.

To override the pre-delay countdown and perform a transition:

1. Initiate a transition that causes an input with an

assigned GPI output or AMP device to be taken on-air.

2. While the switcher is waiting for the pre-delay

countdown to complete, perform one of the following:

• Press the source button on the Program bus that is going-on air. The pre-delay countdown and the transition are aborted and the source is cut to air on the Program bus.

• Initiate a transition with the fader handle. The pre-delay countdown is aborted and the transition proceeds as you move the fader handle.

To abort the transition and override the pre-delay countdown:

1. Initiate a transition that causes an input with an

assigned GPI output or AMP device to be taken on-air.

2. While the switcher is waiting for the pre-delay

countdown to complete, perform one of the following:

• Press any source button on any bus other than the source button on the Program bus that is going-on air.

• Press BKGD, Key 1, Key 2, or

This chapter describes the internal memory system and how to transfer information to and from your switcher via the USB interface.

Memory System Overview

The built-in memory system contains 100 memory registers (10 banks of 10 registers).

Memory Access Mode

There are two ways to access the memory system:

• Direct Access Mode — You can access any of the

100 memories by pressing two buttons (one for the bank and one for the memory location).

• Bank Mode — You pre-select a bank and then

access any of the 10 memories in that bank with a single button press.

To set the Memory Access Mode attribute:

1. Press STORE.

2. Use the Mode knob to select the memory

access mode. You can choose from the following:

• DirAcc — Use Direct Access Mode.

• Bank — Use Bank Mode.

Memory Attributes

There are several attributes you can set to control how the switcher stores and recalls memory registers. Each attribute can be set individually for each memory register. When recalling a memory register, you can select whether each attribute is replaced with the value stored in the memory register or retains the current value.

To set storage memory attributes

1. Press STORE.

2. Press NEXT.

3. Use the Attrib knob to select the memory

attribute you wish to set.

4. Use the middle knob to select the component

that you want to apply the attributes to.

5. Use the Value knob to select the ho w you

want to memory attributes to be stored in the memory. Refer to the following sections for information on each attribute.

To set recall memory attributes

1. Press RECALL.

2. Press NEXT.

3. Use the Attrib knob to select the memory

attribute you wish to set.

4. Use the middle knob to select the component

that you want to apply the attributes to.

5. Use the Value knob to select the ho w you

want to memory attributes to be recalled. Refer to the following sections for information on each attribute.

Recall Mode

Recall Mode sets the memory recall mode.

• Memory (Recall Only) — The memory

attributes stored in the memory are used.

• PGM — All attributes are recalled to the exact

state they were in when stored in the memory register. This is the default behavior.

• PV — Only those elements not currently on-air

are recalled. The Preset bus is recalled while the Program bus is not.

• MemAI — The switcher uses the contents of the

memory register to configure the Next Transition area and the Preset bus. The switcher is configured such that the next transition will make the on-air state the same as the state saved in the memory register.

• DVEDis — The switcher interpolates all DVE

parameters between the current state and the state in the memory register and smoothly transitions between them over a user-configurable duration.

CrossOver 16 User Manual (v4.0) Memories, USB Storage, and Upgrades • 6–1

Page 68

Only DVE key parameters are recalled and this Recall Mode applies only to DVE keys.

• EffDis — The Effects Dissolve feature allows

you to slew from one memory to another using a memory recall. The switcher will interpolate from the starting memory to the destination memory, creating a smooth, two keyframe effect.

The following elements can be interpolated in the effects dissolve:

› Matte colors (background, wash or borders) › Keyer settings like clip, gain, transparency › Mask position and size › Chroma key settings, except the background

color

› Pattern settings like size, position, aspect,

border, softness, rotation

› DVE settings like size, position, aspect, border,

softness, cropping › MediaStore x/y position › Transition Progress Other elements, such as key priority, crosspoint

selection, pattern, and next transition data are recalled first, and then the switcher will slew to the recalled memory.

An effects dissolve can be performed on as many elements as required, based on the memory that is being recalled.

Preset Bus Recall (PSTBus)

PSTBus sets whether sources selected on the Preset bus, when the memory was stored, are recalled with the memory.

Table 8.1 Switcher Error Messages

Error Message Description Solution

DDR 0 Not Found DDR 1 Not Found DDR 0 & 1 Not Found

There is a problem with the switcher DDR memory. The switcher may be used but many features will be limited or disabled

Re-start your switcher. If the problem persists, contact Ross Video Technical Support for assistance.

Panel/Frame Mismatch

Upgrade PMC?

Your switcher control panel is connected to the wrong frame type (e.g. Crossover 16 panel connected to a Crossover 6 frame).

Your switcher requires a Panel Module Controller (PMC) upgrade as part of a software upgrade. The switcher may be used without the PMC upgrade but may respond in an unpredictable manner

Connect your switcher control panel to the proper frame and re-start the switcher.

Allow the PMC upgrade to proceed. Contact Ross Video Technical Support for assistance if you are unsure about upgrading your switcher.
