How To Use This Manual

If you are an experienced switcher operator, you may choose to go directly from Startup to operating the switcher, and refer to the Control Panel Descriptions section in the manual only when you need to know more about the operation of a specific control. Experienced operators may also wish to refer to some parts of Section 4 — Switcher Operations, to learn about topics such as Chroma Keying, Effects Send, and how to set up keyframes (a set of switcher parameters stored in an E-MEM register).

If you are not an experienced operator, you should read or scan this entire guide. You should first read Section 1 — System

Overview and Section 3 — Switcher Concepts to learn switcher

“basics.” Next, review the Startup and Configuration section to get a feel for the switcher setups and configurations. Finally, practice with and use the task-oriented procedures presented in the Switcher Operations section that apply to your operations on the switcher.

To quickly locate specific areas of interest, refer to the “master” Table of Contents in the front of the manual, or the “local” Table of Contents located at the front of each manual section.

System Overview

This section presents a general description of the Grass Valley Products Model 2200-2 Production Component Digital Switching Systems.

The Control Panel and Signal Processor descriptions provide a basic knowledge of the Model 2200 basic architecture.

Basic Architecture

The Model 2200 is a component digital switcher . It can manipulate CCIR 601 serial component digital and analog component video and key signals through the use of 10-bit digital processing. An Analog Chroma Keyer Input Module is also available.

The Model 2200-2 provides two full function mix/effects subsystems. Up to 32 serial digital inputs which can be mapped to switcher crosspoint buttons and used as video and/or key sources. Internal sources are also available, such as Black, Masks, Color Bars, and Background.

Effects animation functionality may be used to build and run a sequence of effects. Effects are stored in E-MEM registers as a list of “keyframes” (see the Operation Reference manual, for a deﬁnition of Keyframes). The E-MEM register operations are used to learn, recall, copy, and link effect registers.

The layout of the Control Panel is logically structured for efﬁcient control of video signals.The Menu Display Subpanel allows quick changes to switcher system parameters.

Section 1 — System Overview

Physical Description

The switcher consists of three main areas: the Control Panel, the Signal Processor Frame, and the Frame Power Supply (see

Figure 1-1) The electronic circuitry for the Model 2200 is contained

on circuit boards and modules in the Signal Processor Frame and Control Panel.

Signal Processor Frame

The Signal Processor Frame is a large rack-mounted unit that houses the system Controller, Mix/Effect logic and processors, Input/Output interfaces, and Expansion circuit modules.

In addition to the basic system, a typical system may have several options such as Chroma Keyers, Secondary W ipe Generators, and Effects Send. Most options are available as circuit boar d modules (or submodules called “mezzanine” boards) that are installed in the Signal Processor Frame.

1-4

Refer to the Model 2200 complete description of the Signal Processor.

A main pr ocessor and separate M/E processors reside within the Signal Processor Frame. Since each M/E has its own processor, failure of one processor does not disable the entire switcher. Individual effects can continue to operate independently in a limited capacity.

Power Supplies

Two power supplies are used in the basic Model 2200 system: a control panel power supply, located in the control panel tub, and a 19" rack mount power supply used by the Signal Processor Frame. Optional Redundant power supplies are available.

Section 1 — System Overview

Functional Description

General Overview

Figure 1-3 shows a simple video ﬂow diagram for the Model 2200.

Video and key signals enter the input modules of the Model 2200, which consist of component analog and/or component serial digital formats. The analog signals are converted to digital format, and all inputs are timed and conditioned.

The digital signals are then passed to the V ideo and Effects Section where keying and mixing take place. This section also provides effect modiﬁcations, such as wipes and keyframing, that can be applied to selected inputs.

In the Output Section, digital video and key signals are routed to the Serial Digital Output Modules and the optional Analog Output Module before leaving the Signal Processor.

1-10

Video Processing

Input video and key signal selections are made by the Crosspoint Matrix under control of the system Controller, according to operator assignments entered via the Control Panel.

In addition to primary (external) video, secondary (internal) sources such as Masks, M/E re-entry video, and optional Effects Send are available as inputs to the crosspoint matrix.

Any suitable component digital signal from the Crosspoint matrix may feed the Chromatte™ Chroma Keyer Module option. Analog Component signals may also be used as Chroma Key sources.

Keyers in each Mix/Effects bank provide outputs to the Mixer Interface crosspoints. These outputs may be sent outside the switcher for external processing, or may be routed to the M/E mixers and wipe generators. The Effects Send outputs can be directed to the Framestore option for image capture.

Functional Description

Each M/E has two keyers and two background buses (A and B) as inputs. In standard mode, Keyers 1 and 2 can be mixed into a composite video and key which can be forwarded to the output, or M/E 1 can be reentered into M/E 2. In layered mode, Background Buses A and B are also used as keyers.

Preview capability allows monitoring of sources at many points in the signal ﬂow. You can preview video from the M/E mixers, switched preview bus, or mask bus.

Eight GPI inputs are provided. You can assign each of the GPI inputs via the GPI Input Menu to perform a speciﬁc function when triggered.

The editor interface consists of an asynchronous RS-422, 38.4K baud serial communications port, managed by a communications processor. Refer to the Model 2200/3000/4000 manual for information on software functions and protocols observed by the editor port.

Description of Options

The following options are currently available for the Model 2200 switcher. For more details on these options, refer to the appropriate subpanel descriptions later in this manual.

Chromatte Advanced Chroma Keyer

Each foreground keyer in M/E 1 and M/E 2 has access to an optional component chroma keyer. Either an internal component digital signal or an external component analog signal from one of the Chroma Key Input Modules can be used as the chroma key source. Color background suppression, foreground suppression and shadow processing are included as features.

BORDERLINE Key Edge Generation

BORDERLINE® Key Edge Generators are available for each keyer in the switcher. The Borderline feature is implemented as a submodule that plugs onto the Keyer module of any M/E.

1-14

Each Borderline generator supports 1, 2, or 3 line wide borders for border and outline modes and 1 to 6 line wide edges for shadow and extrude modes. Fill within the key edges may be either video or matte.

Secondary Wipe Generator

A Secondary W ipe Generator option provides a second pattern for each M/E. The Secondary Wipe Generator Submodules mount on the M/E 1 and M/E 2 Mix/Wipe Modules.
