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
1
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.

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.
Effects Send
Effects Send provides a method of integrating digital effects
devices into the switcher mix/effects system. Up to two send
channels can be used to route the video and key from an M/E to
and from an external digital effects system.
Look Ahead Preview
Look ahead preview processing is provided for both M/Es with
this option. Submodules mount on the M/E 1 and M/E 2
Mix/Wipe Modules.
Tally Relay Frame
The Tally Relay Frame provides external tally outputs that reflect
the switcher status. A rear-panel interconnect board provides the
relay contacts on two connectors for on-air T ally A and on-air Tally
B. The frame can hold up to three Tally Modules. Pinouts for the
Tally connectors are given in the Installation section of the Model
2200 Installation and Service manual.
Description of Options

Section 1 — System Overview
Remote Aux Bus
The Remote Aux Control Panel Option allows you to control the
Model 2200’s aux buses from a remote location. As many as 32
Remote Aux Panels can be daisy-chained to the switcher. There
are three Remote Aux Panel configurations available, identified by
the number of rack units (RUs) each occupies in the equipment
rack.
The panels are designed to control 32 external inputs (16 unshifted
and 16 shifted).
Timed Aux Output
The Timed Aux Output Module provides four independent
output pairs (video/key) from aux buses 5A through 8B for use
with Kaleidoscope and DPM systems.

Startup and Configuration
This section describes turning on the system, setting up user
preferences, and setting up system parameters.
The Model 2200 is designed for continuous operation. Use the
following procedures to power-up the switcher when it has been
turned off.
1.Turn the power switch on the front of the Signal Processor
Power Supply to the ON position. Verify that the power
supply voltage LEDs on the front of the Power Supply are lit
and that the fans in the Processor are on.
2.Raise the Control Panel and turn the power supply switch to
the ON position. Verify that the green RUN LED on the CPU
Board (located in the middle of the tub) is lit.
3.Verify that the Model 2200 sign-on logo is displayed on the
Menu Display.
4.Verify that the panel pushbutton lamps are on and that the
E-MEM and Transition subpanel readout LEDs are on.
If any of the above conditions are not present, turn the system
power off and refer to the Diagnostics and Troubleshooting
section in the Installation and Service manual.

Section 2— Startup and Configuration
Booting-Up
When the system is turned on, the switcher will initialize into a
defined default state. This default state may be either a userdefined default or a GVG factory default of switcher enabled
levels, as selected in the Define Defaults Menu (see Section 3,
Model 2200Operation Reference manual).
Software Setup
The system parameters to be used at your site are usually
configured following installation of the equipment. Use the
following procedures to configure the 2200 system to your
installation. In addition to assigning sources, the process includes
setting configuring inputs, output levels, external interfaces, and
system parameters. These functions are accessed via the Control
Panel Configuration Menu sub-menus (see Figure 2-1., Parts 1

Section 2— Startup and Configuration
Using Field Dominance
If the Model 2200 output is going to be recorded onto tape that will
later be edited along with other tape, it is important that changes
take place consistently on the same field. They can occur on either
Field 1 or Field 2 of the frame, but need to be on the same field
every time. If this is not done, there will be a “flash” at the edit in
the resulting taped video.
With FIELD 1 selected as the dominant field, if a change takes place
just prior to Field 1, the change will become effective at the
beginning of Field 1. But if the change takes place prior to Field 2,
the change will be delayed by one field so that it also becomes
effective at the beginning of the next Field 1. This way, all changes
will be synchronized to take place at the beginning of Field 1.
Similarly, if
changes that take place prior to Field 1 would be delayed until
Field 2.
If you are recording the switcher output on video tape and will be
doing post-production editing of the tape, it is recommended that
you set Field Dominance for a specific field (either FIELD 1 or FIELD
2
), and leave it at that setting. This will ensure that all changes will
take effect consistently on the same field.

If an Editor or a GPI trigger initiates one of these functions, it will

initiation of any of these functions will be delayed until the
beginning of the selected dominant field.
Software Setup
The MATTE GEN LIM button is used to choose the matte generator
chroma limiting algorithm. The selections are:
XMITABL – Prevents the total signal (luminance and
chrominance) from exceeding the NTSC transmission
standard.
VALID RGB – Limits colors to those which generate red,
green, and blue values within the 0 to 100% range.
BOTH – Selects a valid RGB color limiter which also
prevents the encoded signal envelope from exceeding
NTSC transmission level. This is the system default
mode.
NONE – Turns off all algorithm methods for matte
generator limiting.

frame. These assignments should never be changed by the operator.
Internally-generated sources (black, backgrounds, mask, etc.) are
also available for selection on the crosspoint matrix.
Thirty-two sources may be assigned at one time to the crosspoints
— 16 unshifted and 16 shifted selections. During the installation
procedure, each of the 32 input buses is assigned a video signal, a
key signal, and a chroma key signal.
All inputs are defined by function, name, crosspoint, input
number, and signal format.
Y ou may determine the input assignments and the characteristics
of the input signals through the use of the Configuration
submenus, as described in the following procedures.

Section 2— Startup and Configuration
DPM Configurations
Digital Picture Manipulators (DPMs) are external video devices
connected to the switcher. In this discussion, reference is also
made to DPM levels, which are E-MEM levels into which DPMassociated information is learned. The combined system
capabilities of the switcher and DPMs depend on:
■The video connection
■The capabilities of the DPM
■The control connection
It is not necessary to have a control connection from the switcher
to a DPM; however, the highest level of system integration is
achieved where there is a control connection.
The Video Connection (Aux Buses and Return Inputs)
A normal video signal path consists of an aux bus output fr om the
switcher feeding a DPM input and the DPM output returned to a
switcher input which is mapped to a switcher source select
button.
2-42
The video path through a DPM introduces a video delay into the
system. For example, Kaleidoscope introduces a 2-field video
delay.
NOTE:
If the video delay is not set correctly, ther e will be a glitch in the
video upon entering Effects Send mode.
There are four steps in configuring the video path:
■Aux buses are assigned to DPMs using the DPM Map Aux
Buses Menu
■Return input connections are configured using the DPM Map
Inputs Menu
■The mapping of a return connection to a crosspoint is done
using the Configuration/Map Inputs Menu
■The video delay is set using the DPM Setup Menu
Software Setup
The system defaults to all aux buses being part of the MISC E-MEM
level. When an aux bus is configured for use with an external
DPM, its settings are no longer saved in the MISC level but are
saved in the relevant DPM level when an E-MEM register is
learned. Information (such as aux bus crosspoint selection) is
learned for each DPM on separate E-MEM levels.
In cases where it is not desirable to have an aux bus selection
learned/recalled on the MISC level, it is possible to configure the
aux bus to a DPM level (such as DPM 4) and never enable that level.
An example would be if the aux bus were controlled by a Remote
Aux panel.
DPM Capabilities (Fixed and Pooled)
The characteristics of the DPM are configured in the DPM Setup
Menu. The first choice to be made is selection of DPM TYPE from
NONE, KSCOPE, OTHER POOL
The DPM TYPE of NONE indicates that there is no external DPM
device used for the particular DPM level. However , it can also be
used for cases where aux buses are assigned to a DPM level, but
there is no physical device, no return signal, and no control
connection (for example, an aux bus dedicated to feeding a video
monitor).
1
, or OTHER FIXED.
Both KSCOPE and OTHER POOL are selections for pooled devices.
A pooled device is one which provides acquisition of logical
channels from a pool of physical channels.
Kaleidoscope is a pooled device. As an example, consider a
Kaleidoscope having 5 physical channels named A, B, C, D, and E.
The pooled channels are shared by different users. A user may
build a Kaleidoscope effect using 3 channels. On one day he may
acquire physical channels C, D, and E as logical channels 1, 2, and
3; on another day he may acquire physical channels B, C, and D as
logical channels 1, 2, and 3. The same effect will perform
identically on both configurations since the operator’s view of the
1. OTHER POOL is reserved for future use. It is for DPMs other than Kaleidoscope which are pooled
and use CPL to communicate.
2-43
Section 2— Startup and Configuration
system is the logical arrangement of channels (1, 2, 3), not the
physical channels used.
In systems with multiple DPM channels, it is desirable to have a
predictable relationship between aux buses and DPM channels
(e.g., aux bus 1 feeding DPM channel 1, aux bus 2 feeding channel
2, etc.). It is also desirable to have a particular switcher crosspoint
button always select the same DPM channel return input. For a
fixed device (such as the DPM-700) this relationship is achieved
by cabling alone. For a pooled device, such as Kaleidoscope, the
Model 2200 achieves predictable DPM channel routing by
maintaining an extra level of mapping between physical and
logical DPM channels. This mapping, termed Switcher Input
Routing and Switcher Output Routing, is discussed on the
following page.
DPM TYPE of OTHER FIXED or NONE (DPMs which are not pooled
For
and do not have Input and Output Routing), the CHANNELROUTING
selection should be OFF.
Kaleidoscope changes its logical-to-physical channel mapping,
depending on the order in which channels are acquired from its
pool. Switcher output routing maps a physical aux bus to a logical
aux bus so that the logical aux bus number corresponds with the
DPM’s logical channel.
2-44
The Aux bus button selection made on the switcher control panel
is always a logical aux bus; however, unless Kaleidoscope is
connected, Logical Aux Bus 1 always corresponds to Physical Aux
Bus 1, etc. (The current mapping of physical-to-logical DPM
channels is displayed in the DPM Map Inputs Menu.)
It should be noted that the switcher supports only one pooled
device. Also, the pooled device must be cabled so that the first
physical aux bus is connected to the first physical channel. In the
example in Figure 2-3, Physical Aux Bus 1 is connected to
Kaleidoscope Physical Channel A, Bus 2 to Channel B, and so on.

Figure 2-3. Example of Connections for a Pooled DPM
For a particular studio session, three Kaleidoscope channels could
be acquired from the pool in the order D, E, A, which would be
logical channels 1, 2, 3. This mapping information is passed from
the DPM to the switcher via the control connection. Switcher output routing ensures that the logical channels 1, 2, 3 appear to
the user on logical aux buses 1, 2, 3 and switcher input routing
ensures that DPM logical channels 1, 2, 3 appear on the
crosspoints configured for these logical channels. For the above
configuration, the selection of CHANNEL ROUTING in the DPM Setup
Menu should be set to BOTH.

2-45
Section 2— Startup and Configuration
There are circumstances wher e output routing is not desirable. For
example, the DPM may have more than 5 channels. In that case, a
router or patch panel may be inserted between the switcher and
Kaleidoscope (Figure 2-4). In this example, switcher output
routing is turned off, so the menu selection for CHANNEL ROUTING in
the DPM Setup Menu should be set to SWR IN. This still provides
the return video from the switcher being on a consistent
crosspoint.

Control Connection
Three forms of control connection to the DPMs are supported.
These are
■CPL (Control Point Language)
■PBusII (Peripheral Bus II)
■GPIs
Control Point Language — CPL is the communication protocol used
to couple the switcher and Kaleidoscope. One of its uses is to
convey the physical-to-logical channel mapping information
described previously. It is also used for run control of effects, aux
bus selection (including front/back switching) and tally.
DPM TYPE is set to either KRYSTAL or KSCOPE in the DPM Setup
When
Menu, CPL is automatically invoked. PORT ASSIGN should be set to
PORT A1.
Also, when either KRYSTAL or KSCOPE is selected as the DPM TYPE,
aux bus control is automatically assigned to
Krystal/Kaleidoscope. With Krystal/Kaleidoscope controlling
the aux buses, when a source button is selected on the
Krystal/Kaleidoscope panel, that source button is also selected on
the switcher for that aux bus, and vice versa. So an effect running
on Krystal/Kaleidoscope can cause the switcher to select different
crosspoints. This is the mechanism used to achieve front/back
switching.
All control connections have an associated control delay. The
CONTROL DELAY in the DPM Setup Menu should be set to 6 fields
when the DPM TYPE is set to either KRYSTAL or KSCOPE.
When any other type of DPM is selected as the DPM TYPE, the Model
2200 Switcher controls the aux bus.
2-47
Section 2— Startup and Configuration
Peripheral Bus II (Port A3 Only)— PBusII is used for r un control of
effects using triggers. With current software, PBusII triggers are
learned into the MISC E-MEM level. For example, when using
PBusII as the control connection for a DPM-700, the following
should be set in the DPM Setup Menu:
PORT ASSIGN = NONE
CHANNEL ROUTING = OFF
GPIs—Both input and output GPIs may be used as triggers as part
of the control interface between the DPM and switcher.
Depending on the nature of the DPM, GPIs can be used for effect
recall and run control, source selection, and tally information.

Formatting Aux Buses
There are nine pairs of Aux buses on the Model 2200, designated
A1 through A5, and B1 through B5. Aux pairs one through four
are not configurable (video/key only). Aux buses pair five can be
configured as video/video or video/key signals. In addition, Aux
buses 1-4 (A and B) may be configured for either shaped or
unshaped video output.

The Aux Bus Shaping Menu allows you to select the output
configuration to be always shaped or always unshaped on aux buses
1-4. Thus the configuration should be set according to the input
needs of the external device connected to the aux bus. The
switcher then internally decides whether to turn on shaping or
unshaping circuitry according to the nature of the video/key pair
feeding the aux bus.
NOTE:

NOTE:
Since the process of unshaping the video signal results in
dividing the video signal by its key, level errors, especially ar ound black,
may produce extreme signal levels where the key is at or near zero.
Kaleidoscope ignores these extraneous signals, but they may cause
problems with external sync separators or clamps. Therefore, it is
recommended that connections to Kaleidoscope inputs be made directly
from the 2200 Aux Bus outputs.
When the Effects Send option is not present, the VIDEO/KEY FMT

Switcher Concepts
This section describes a few basic concepts that you should know
before you operate your switcher. You might be tempted to skip
over this section, especially if you are an experienced switcher
operator . Nevertheless, we suggest that you to br owse it anyway,
because it explains operating concepts that help you more fully
understand how the switcher works.
Items discussed in this section include the following:

Section 3 — Switcher Concepts
Clear Working Buffer
The Current Working Buffer (CWB) is an area of system memory
that stores the current switcher state. That is, it tracks the settings
of switch and variable control functions on the control panel, as
well as those of many switch and control functions set in the
menus.
When an E-MEM recall is done, the data in the recalled E-MEM
Register is loaded into the Current Working Buffer, which sets the
switcher parameters of all enabled levels to match those stored in
the first keyframe of an E-MEM effect.
The GVP Factory Default of the CWB is a set of switcher
parameters stored in memory that may be used to return the
switcher to a known set of conditions. Some of these parameters
may be periodically updated with software updates.
The User-Defined Default buffer is battery-backed RAM that may
be used to store a set of parameters tailored to your requir ements
and preferences. At power-up the information in the UserDefined Default memory is loaded into the Current Working
Buffer, which sets the initial state of the switcher.
3-2
At any time, the User-Defined Default values may be restored to
all enabled areas of the switcher by pressing the CLEAR WORK
BUFR
button on the E-MEM Subpanel.
The data in the User-Defined Default Buffer may also be modified
at any time through the Configuration/User Prefs/Define
Defaults Menu.
