Chapter

1 Overview

Basic Video Processing

This section introduces basic functions used for video

processing on the switcher.

Transitions

In the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank, the switch from the current video stream (appearing on the corresponding program monitor) to a new video stream is referred to as a transition. In the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank, you can change one of the images, the background, and keys 1 to 4 (downstream keys 1 to 4 in the PGM/PST bank), and also vary combinations of these simultaneously.

The following are examples of transition.

Changing the background

A background transition switches from the video currently selected on the background A bus (the current video) to the

video selected on the background B bus (the new video).

Transition

In the default selection of flip-flop mode background always switches in the direction from the A bus to the B bus. When the transition completes, the crosspoint selections on the A and B buses are interchanged.

Background A Background B

Inserting and deleting a key

You can insert one or more of the four keys (downstream keys on the PGM/PST bank). If you select a key which is already inserted, the transition will delete the key. A simultaneous combination of deleting and inserting keys is also possible.

Effect with use of an independent key transition

The key is inserted with an independent key transition as the background changes with a common transition, providing the following result.

Transition type: Wipe

There are two modes of executing a transition: an auto transition by button operation or a manual transition using the fader lever. It is also possible to combine these two modes.

Independent key transitions

In addition to common transitions, it is possible to carry out independent transitions on the keyers of the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank. These are called “independent key transitions.” By carrying out an independent key transition in combination with a common transition, different transition types can be used for the background and keys. The following compares the independent key transition with a common transition, taking a simultaneous change of the background and key as an example.

Independent key transition type: Wipe

For details, see Chapter 3 “Signal Selection and

Transitions”

(1 p. 59).

Keys

Video used in the transition

A key is an effect in which a part of the background image is replaced by an image or superimposed text. The signal determining how the background is cut out is termed “key source,” and the signal that replaces the cut-out part is termed “key fill.” The system component responsible for processing a key is referred to as a “keyer.” For the four keyers on each switcher bank, you can use the following key types (i.e., methods of processing the key source).

Background A Background B Key to insert

Key modifiers

You can apply borders and other modifiers to the edge of the key image.

Masks

A mask allows a part of the image to be masked by the background or a key. If unwanted holes occur in the background, or if a key is not the desired shape, you can correct the problem with a mask.

Resizer

This function allows you to apply effects, such as zoom, movement, or aspect ratio change to a part of a created key. You can use the following operations.

•

Two-dimensional transform of a key

•

Rotation of keys

•

Resizer interpolation settings

•

Resizer crop/border settings

•

Resizer effect settings (mosaic, defocus)

For details, see Chapter 4 “Keys”

Notes

Resizer and key edge cannot be used on some keyers.

For details, 1 “Keyers that support resizer/key edge”

(p. 79).

Wipes

A wipe is a transition from the current video stream to a new video stream, using a wipe pattern. Changing the background by means of a wipe is referred to as a “background wipe,” and inserting or deleting a key with a wipe is termed a “key wipe.” There are two types of wipe: those that can be selected in a common transition, and those that can be selected in an independent key transition.

You can also specify the wipe direction, or set the pattern position, applying various changes and modifiers to the selected wipe pattern.

DME wipe patterns supported on the MVS-6520/6530/ 3000A:

Slide, Squeeze, Split, Door, Flip tumble, Mirror, Sphere, Character trail, Wave, Ripple, Page turn, Roll, Frame in-out, Picture-in-picture, 2D trans, 3D trans, Sparkle, Split slide, Mosaic, Defocus, Brick, and User programmable DME

DME wipe patterns supported on the MVS-3000:

Slide, Squeeze, Door, Flip tumble, Frame in-out, Picture-in-picture, Mosaic, and Defocus

You can also specify the wipe direction, or set the pattern position, applying various changes and modifiers to the selected DME wipe pattern.

Resizer DME wipes

Using the resizer, you can carry out key DME wipes.

For details, see Chapter 6 “DME Wipes”

(1 p. 111).

(1 p. 79).

Frame Memory

Frame memory is a function for using a still image or video (frame memory clip) as material for editing. You can create a still image by capturing a frame of input video, or a clip by specifying a range of input video. The created images and clips can be written to memory for playback, editing, and output.

For details, see Chapter 7 “Frame Memory”

(1 p. 126).

Color Backgrounds

This function can be used to obtain color background video. Two color signals generated from the dedicated generators can be switched or mixed, and then output.

For details, see “Color Background”

Controlling External Devices

Snapshots

You can operate the system while controlling the

following types of external device:

• Devices supporting P-Bus (Peripheral II protocol)

•

Devices supporting GPI

•

VTRs

•

Disk recorders (Sony disk 9-pin protocol and video disk communications protocol)

•

Extended VTRs (Abekas A53 protocol)

For details about the devices that can be connected, consult your Sony representative.

You can also control an external device by registering timeline keyframes beforehand.

For details, see Chapter 11 “External Devices”

(1 p. 226).

Keyframes

A keyframe represents an instantaneous state of an image; it can be saved in a register and recalled for reuse. By arranging a number of keyframes on the time axis, and interpolating between successive keyframes, you can create a “keyframe effect” in which there is a continuous change from each keyframe to the next. The following figure shows three keyframes created with a wipe pattern (the circle) in different positions. This is interpolated to create the effect shown.

Background A Background B

Keyframe 1

Example of keyframes and effect execution

Keyframe 2

Interpolated images

Keyframe 3

You can save the sequence of keyframes representing a single effect in a register. Then by recalling this register, you can replay the same effect.

For details, see Chapter 12 “Keyframes”

(1 p. 239).

The term “snapshot” refers to a function whereby the various settings required to apply a particular effect to an image are saved in a register as a set of data, for recall as required, to recover the original state.

Snapshots are divided as follows.

•

Snapshots applying to a particular region (functional block of the switcher or DME)

•

Master snapshot

•

Key snapshot

•

Wipe snapshot

•

DME wipe snapshot

For details, see Chapter 13 “Snapshots”

(1 p. 267).

Utilities

The utility function refers to a function whereby you can assign an arbitrary action or a shortcut for a frequently used menu to a particular button, then instantly recall the action or menu by pressing the button.

For details, see “Utility Execution”

14.

(1 p. 276) in chapter

Shotboxes

The term “shotbox” refers to a function whereby for each specified region

(1 p. 239) any snapshot or keyframe

effect can be recalled simultaneously.

For details, see “Shotbox”

(1 p. 277) in chapter 14.

Macros

The term “macro” refers to the function whereby a sequence of signal selections and other operations on the control panel is saved as data in memory (macro register), so that it can be recalled as required to automatically execute the same sequence of operations. The individual control panel operations constituting a macro are termed “events.” Macros also provide the following functions.

Menu macros

The term “menu macro” refers to the function whereby a sequence of menu operations is saved as an event, so that it can be recalled as required to automatically execute the same sequence of operations.

1 Overview

Macro timelines

By recording macro recalls and execute actions on a timeline, in the same way as for keyframes in an effect, you can automatically execute them in a sequence.

Macro attachments

Macro attachment is a function whereby a macro register is assigned to a control panel button or a particular position of a fader lever, linking the execution of the button function or a fader lever operation with a macro execution.

File Operations

You can save register data, including setup information and snapshot information, as a file on a local disk or removable disk, and recall it as required. Regarding frame memory, it is possible to capture image data stored in an external device into frame memory. You can also convert the format of image data in frame memory into a different format and save it in an external device.

For details, see Chapter 16 “Files”

(1 p. 302).

Setup

Various settings are required, in order to operate the switcher, control panel, DME, external devices, and so on, connected together in a single system. This is referred to as “setup,” and you can carry out the setup operations from the Engineering Setup menu (hereinafter, the Setup menu). The settings are grouped under the following headings.
