How to Use This Manual
This manual, the Model 3000 Operation Reference, is intended to
be used in conjunction with the Model 3000 User Guide.
Begin by reading the System Overview so that you will be familiar
with the basic terminology used in this manual and the structure
of the hardware/software system.
Next, turn on the system as described in the Startup section of the
User Guide and verify the switcher parameters set up for your site
or studio. It is assumed that the system has been installed
according to your studio plan and that all inputs and outputs are
connected properly.
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 and Menu Descriptions sections of this manual only
when you need to know more about the operation of a specific
control.
If you are not an experienced operator, you should read or scan
the Control Panel and Menu Descriptions section to get an idea of
the functions of the subpanels, controls, and menus.

System Overview
Introduction
This section presents a general description of the Grass Valley
Group Model 3000 Switching System, pointing out specific areas
of interest to the operator . Both the 3000-2 (a two-ef fects switcher)
and the 3000-3 (a three-effects switcher) are covered.
The Control Panel and Signal Processor descriptions given in this
section will provide you with a basic knowledge of the Model
3000 structure. Any differences between the two models will be
noted.
General Description
The Model 3000 is a multi-format digital switcher that can
manipulate a variety of composite digital and analog video and
key signals through the use of 10-bit digital processing. Video
inputs and outputs can be a combination of analog, digital bit
serial, and digital bit parallel, depending upon the configuration
of your installation and the optional input and output modules
installed.
The Model 3000-2 provides two mix/effects (M/E) systems, a
program/preset mixer with dual downstream keyers, and up to
32 video inputs and 32 key inputs selectable at one time from the
control panel.
The Model 3000-3 has all the features of the 3000-2 plus a third
M/E and up to 48 video inputs and 48 key inputs selectable at one
time.

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 in the Model 3000 is primarily
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, effects logic, video and key
processors, and input/output interfaces.
In addition to the basic system, a typical system may have several
options such as Chroma Keyers, Secondary Wipe Generator, and
Frame Store. Most options are available as circuit board modules
to be installed in the Signal Processor Frame.
Refer to the Model 3000 Installation and Service manual for a
complete description of the Signal Processor.
1-4
A main processor (HOS, or Head-Of-State) and separate
M/E processors reside within the Signal Processor Frame. Since
each M/E has its own processor, failure of one processor may not
disable the entire switcher. Individual effects can continue to
operate independently in a limited capacity.
Power Supplies
Physical Description
Two power supplies are used in the basic Model 3000 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
Video and Key Inputs and Outputs
Inputs
Three types of input options may be installed in the Signal
Processor Frame to suit the needs of your installation. Each input
module supports four inputs and provides auto-timing of each
input.
The following types of input modules are available.
NOTE:
Each of these inputs can be treated by the switcher as either a
video input or a key input.
■
Analog 10-bit Composite Quad Input Module – Provides
noise filtering, anti-aliasing, and auto-timing of the input
signals, then performs an analog-to-digital conversion of each
signal and multiplexes the data onto a video or key bus.
Digital Bit-Parallel Quad Input Module – Converts the inputs
■
from ECL to TTL, auto-times the signals, and multiplexes
them onto the video or key bus.
Digital Bit-Serial Quad Input Module – Decodes the inputs
■
from serial to parallel, auto-times the signals, and multiplexes
the data onto the video or key bus.
In addition, RGB input modules are available with the Dual
Chroma Keyer option. Each module supports two sets of RGB
inputs (see Figure 1-4).
Refer to the Configuration section of the Getting Started manual
for information on assigning input formats and adjusting timing.

Section 1 — System Overview
Outputs
Regardless of the format of the input signals, the Signal Processor
can provide outputs in any composite format.
Signal outputs are provided by output modules installed in the
Signal Processor Frame (see Figure 1-5). Each output module
provides four video/key signal outputs of a given type, with up
to three buffered outputs per signal channel.
Since each output module
cell
is dedicated to specific functions,
the format of each output signal is determined by the type of
output module installed in that cell. The following choices of
output modules are available:
Composite Analog (4 signal channels; 3 outputs of each
■
signal)
■
Parallel Digital (4 signals; 1 output of each signal)
■
Serial Digital (4 signals; 3 outputs of each signal)
Standard (Analog) outputs include:
■
(DSK) Program Video
■

■
Mask Bus
■
Switched Preview Video
Optional outputs (Analog and/or Digital) include:

Section 1 — System Overview
Functional Description
Overview
Figure 1-6 shows the video flow in a typical Model 3000 switching
system.
Video and key signals enter the Input Section of the Model 3000,
which consists of analog, parallel digital, and/or serial digital
modules. 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, that can be applied to selected
inputs.
In the Output Section, digital video and key signals are converted
to any desired composite format (analog, parallel digital, or serial
digital), as predetermined by the type of output modules
installed, before leaving the Signal Processor.
Video Processing
1-12
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 Frame
Store are available as inputs to the crosspoint matrix.
Two sets of RGB signals may be applied per optional Dual RGB
input module. These inputs are forwarded to a Dual Chroma
Keyer module.
Keyers in each Mix/Effects bank provide outputs to the Effects
Loop crosspoints for sending outside the switcher for external
processing or for routing to the M/E mixers and wipe generators.
Functional Description
The Effects Send outputs can also be directed to the Frame Store
option for image capture. One optional Effects Loop Crosspoint
module services all three Mix/Effects banks.
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 DSK, the
other M/E, or output. In layered mode, Backgrounds A and B are
also used as keyers that operate in a manner similar to Keyers 1
and 2.
Optional preview capability allows monitoring of sources at
certain points in the signal flow. You can preview video from the
M/E mixers, Flip/Flop Mix and DSK mixer, switched preview
bus, or mask bus.
Eight pulse- or level-sensitive GPI inputs are provided. You can
assign each of these 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 .

The following options are currently available for the Model 3000
Switcher. For more details on these options, refer to the
appropriate subpanel descriptions later in this manual.
Dual Chroma Keyer
Up to six analog component (RGB, YUV, or Betacam®) or
composite inputs can be chroma keyed, two per Dual Chroma
Keyer module. Each module is added to a specific M/E.
Borderline Key Edge Generation
Borderline® Key Edge Generators are available for each keyer in
the switcher. The Borderline feature is implemented as a
mezzanine board that plugs onto the Keyer module of any M/E.
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 Wipe Generator module provides a second pattern
for each of the M/E systems. Only one module is required for
enhancing all mix/effect systems.
1-16
Safe Title/Action Area Generator
The Safe Title/Action Area Generator provides up to four
different patterns that can be superimposed on the switched
preview output of the switcher . It may be used to define a safe title
area, safe action area, or for screen centering and horizontal/
vertical alignment of picture elements.
Mix/Effects Clean Feed
A clean feed output of the wipe/mix signals (the two backgr ound
bus video signals without any keys added) is provided by a LookAhead Preview mezzanine board installed on the Mixer and
Primary Wipe Generator module.
Frame Store
The Frame Store option allows storage and retrieval of images at
a resolution of 10 bits. Either two two-field pictures and keys or
one four-field picture and key can be frozen in the Frame Stor e. A
two-field mask store is also provided.

Control Panel Descriptions
Introduction
User control of the Model 3000 Switcher is provided through a
control panel containing a source-select button matrix, various
“subpanels” and a flat panel text and graphics display called the
“menu display.”
This section provides an overview of the Model 3000-2 and
Model 3000-3 control panels, and detailed descriptions of the
subpanels. Operation of the 3000-2 and the 3000-3 is essentially
identical; however, the 3000-3 has one more M/E, additional
crosspoint buttons on the panel, discrete (rather than delegated)
key buses, an E-MEM panel for each M/E, and keyer mix and cut
buttons.
Main Control Panel
The control panel is physically divided into two areas referred to
as the “upper” and “lower” panels (see Figure 2-1 and 2-2).
The upper panel contains the main menu subpanel and the menu
display, as well as the Wipes, Masks, Frame Stores, and External
Interface subpanels and a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive used for
storing setups and other data.
Menu control for selecting and executing software functions is
provided by the main menu buttons at the left of the display, plus
eight “soft” buttons below the display and four “soft” knobs to the
right of the display. The term “soft” means that the functions of
these buttons and knobs are defined by software.
2-1
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions
Functions available through the Menus are described in the next
section of this manual
Frequently-used controls are located on the lower panel for ease
of reach by the operator. Rows of subpanels for the Mix/Effects
and Program/Preset/Downstream Keyer systems ar e provided in
line with the corresponding source selection buttons for making
transitions, keying, creating mattes, and manipulating effects.
Buttons for the Preview bus, Effects Send, Mask bus, and
Auxiliary bus selections are located along the top of the lower
panel for the Model 3000-2, or along the bottom of the upper panel
for the 3000-3.
The subpanel descriptions in this section are arranged in the

Auto Delegation
Subpanel Delegation
Some of the subpanels on the Model 3000 Switcher are delegated
to other subpanels under conditional control of the operator or
system. This feature is called “auto delegation.” The effect of auto
delegation is that pressing a button on one subpanel may activate
the related controls on another subpanel. For example, the single
Chroma Keyer subpanel is used for controlling all Chroma
Keyers, and is activated by pressing the CHR KEY button on any of
the M/E Keyer subpanels.
NOTE:
generators, the POS NORM and the
Since the joystick positioner can be ganged to several M/E wipe
POS AUTO
subpanel do not delegate the joystick.
T able 2-1 shows some of the delegations present in the Model 3000
Switcher .

second press must occur within a predetermined amount of time.)
Table 2-2 lists the buttons that support this function.
NOTE:
An opened menu is delegated, where appropriate, to the button
that opened the menu. For example, double-pressing the KEY 1

Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions
All buttons on the Source Select panel have three levels of
illumination, known as “tally”:
■ OFF indicates not selected
■ DIM or “low tally” indicates selected, but not on-air
■ BRIGHT or “high tally” indicates selected and on-air
Only one button in each row is illuminated at any time (not
including the SHIFT button).
Primary Source Selection (Primary Crosspoints)
Each row of primary source selection buttons consists of 16
buttons for the 3000-2 or 24 buttons for the 3000-2, each having a
BLACK
...
BKGD1BKGD
customer-specified designation under a clear lens cap.
Each input, including BLACK and BKGD, can be mapped to any
vertical column of source select (“crosspoint”) buttons. Thus, each
column of buttons may be visualized as an input bus of video and
key crosspoints.
2
2-10
External video and key inputs connected to the switcher are
numbered 1 through 64. Each input can be treated as either a video
signal or a key signal, as defined in the Configuration menu.
For the 3000-2, up to 32 video/key pairs may be assigned at one
time to the crosspoint buttons — 16 “unshifted” and 16 “shifted”
selections. For the 3000-3, up to 48 video/key pairs may be
assigned at one time to the crosspoint buttons — 24 “unshifted”
and 24 “shifted.”
On each column of crosspoint buttons, you can map a video
signal, a key signal, and a chroma key signal. The video and
luminance keys can be any combination of external video,
external key, and a variety of internal signals.
When you press the crosspoint button at the intersection of the
column and the row, the appropriate signal on each input column
is switched onto any output bus (horizontal row)—the mapped
key signal onto the selected key bus or the mapped video signal

Source Selection
onto the selected video bus (Background A, Background B,
Program, or Preset).
Any video or key input may be selected on any number of output
buses; however, only one output signal may selected at one time
on each output bus.
The SHIFT button located at the right end of each primary source
selection row is used to access the 16 or 24 shifted inputs. In
Normal mode, you select a shifted input by holding SHIFT down
(button lamp comes on) and pressing a crosspoint button on that
bus. The
selection is a shifted selection.
SHIFT button lamp then remains lit to show that the
NOTE:
In Normal mode (Shift Lock off) the Shift mode will turn off if
another selection is made on that bus without holding down the SHIFT
button. So, even if the SHIFT button is already lit, in order to select
another shifted crosspoint on that bus, you must press and hold the
SHIFT button while selecting the new crosspoint.
Shift Lock Mode
A Shift Lock mode is also available that allows a bus to be held in
the shifted state. This will allow ready access to those input
sources that have been mapped to shifted crosspoints. This mode
is enabled in the Configuration/User Preferences Menu by
selecting LATCH.
When in Shift Lock mode (with the SHIFT button lamp off), to
select a shifted input, press and hold the SHIFT button (lamp
comes on) and press a crosspoint button on that bus. The SHIFT
button lamp then remains lit to show that the selection is a shifted
selection and that the bus is in the shifted state. (So far it looks
pretty much the same as Normal mode). The difference comes
when you select another crosspoint on the same bus. In Shift Lock
mode, whenever the SHIFT button is lit, if you make another
selection on that bus without pressing the SHIFT button, the
2-11

selection will be a shifted crosspoint, whereas in Normal mode it
would be an unshifted crosspoint.

A primary crosspoint button may flash if the timing of a selected
input cannot be corrected by the automatic input timing circuit.
This flashing caution can be disabled through the Configuration
menu.

Unlimited re-entry is supported for outputs of the Mix/Effects
(M/Es). The program output of any M/E may be reentered as an
input on any other M/E or in the Flip-Flop Mix/DSK system, or it
may be used as a key source on any other M/E or the DSK.
Since multiple re-entry is allowed, lockout logic prevents one
M/E from entering another M/E at the same time the other M/E
is entering the first. If a circular re-entry is attempted, the request
for the second re-entry will be ignored.

transition direction indicators; CUT, AUTO TRAN, and PST BLK
buttons; and a three-digit LED display that shows the auto
transition duration in frames.

will change from the source selected on the A Background bus to
the source selected on the B Background bus.
At the end of the transition, the inputs selected on the background
buses will interchange, or “flip-flop.” The “new video” on the B
Background bus will transfer to the A Background bus, and the
“old video” on the A Background bus will transfer to the B

adjusted (see Keyer subpanel description).
One or both of the KEY buttons can be activated at the same time
and one or both keys can be on (ON indicator lit) at the same time.
Pressing KEY PRIOR causes the next transition to swap the
Key 1/Key 2 priority . This can be performed as a mix, wipe, or cut
transition. Key priority always involves both Key 1 and Key 2
The OVER indicator indicates whether Key 1 is over Key 2, or Key

The WIPE and MIX buttons are mutually exclusive; pressing one

A WIPE transition uses the output of the wipe generator to shape
the selected transition(s). Y our selected wipe pattern appears over
the old video/key and moves across the screen, revealing the new
video/key as it moves. Use either the lever arm or the AUTO TRAN
button to perform the WIPE transition.
Pressing MIX selects a transition that mixes video, keys or
backgrounds, during the change from one source to the other. A
mix transition gradually fades the new video and/or key over the
old video and/or key. You can use either the lever arm or AUTO
TRAN
button to perform a MIX transition.
2-17
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions
Pressing the PST BLK button selects a two-stage transition that
PST
BLK
inserts black between the two video sources being mixed, wiped,
or cut. For example, instead of mixing directly between the A
Background and B Background buses during a background
transition, a preset black transition mixes, wipes, or cuts from the
A Background bus to black. When a second transition is
performed, black mixes, wipes, or cuts, away to the B Background.
After completion of the two transitions, PST BLK turns itself off
automatically.
In addition to this automatic cancellation, you can toggle PST BLK
on and off manually. If you turn off PST BLK while the transition
is on the black limit, the M/E or PGM-PST output will
immediately switch from black to the original signal. If you turn
off
PST BLK when it is off limit, the transition to or from black will
stop.
The PST BLK function is provided in each M/E and in the PGM-
PST mixer . PST BLK affects only the ef fect wher e it is selected and
not the entire switcher. The button lights when pressed and turns
off automatically when the second transition is complete. The
BLACK
video input button on the A Bus remains lit while the M/E
is on the black limit. The preview output for the M/E does not go
to black. The preview monitor continues to show the final result of
the two-stage preset black transition.
2-18
MIX and WIPE are unaffected when PST BLK is turned on. MIX and
WIPE
can be changed at any time during a preset black operation.
Preset Black always fades to a full screen black regardless of
whether the switcher is operating in layered mode or standard
mode.
An abort of Preset Black occurs when the operator selects a
crosspoint on the A Background bus while the M/E transition is
on the black limit. This abort causes the following to occur: the
preset black transition is cancelled, the PST BLK button lamp turns
off, all keys are dropped, and the selected cr osspoint is taken fully
on-air. If the abort occurs in Layered Mode, the M/E is forced to
Standard Mode to ensure that the selected crosspoint is a full
raster image.
BLACK
Transition Subpanels
A new background source may be selected on the B Background
bus when you are at the midpoint of a preset black mix. In the
same manner , next-transition delegation buttons, keyer modes, or
keyer sources may also be changed. None of these changes will
abort the preset black transition.
Configuring the BLACK Crosspoint — When mapping inputs to
pushbuttons, one of the choices in the Configuration menu is
BLACK, and another choice is NONE. Your selection will have an
effect on how PST BLK operates, and what will happen in the
event the controller CPU fails.
When the first transition during a preset black operation is
completed, the BLACK crosspoint is automatically selected on the
A Background bus. If black has not been assigned to any
pushbutton, the PST BLK button is disabled and the preset black
function is not permitted. On the other hand, if black has been
assigned to more than one pushbutton, preset black will select the
leftmost BLACK pushbutton. If a pushbutton is assigned to
black appears when that button is selected; however the preset
black function will not use this as the BLACK crosspoint. This
action permits the user to have a known signal appear when an
undefined pushbutton is pressed, while also allowing the preset
black function to select a specific BLACK crosspoint.
NONE
,
To summarize operation: if the user has
NONE
assigned to one or
more pushbuttons, but does not have black assigned to any
pushbutton, the preset black function will think black is not
available and will be disabled as described above.
Processor Failure—The BLACK crosspoint is also important in the
situation where the Controller main CPU fails while one of the
M/Es is performing a re-entry. When it fails, the M/Es are
required to abandon their re-entry crosspoints and select BLACK
on the same bus. In the case where black was never assigned to a
pushbutton, the M/E selects the leftmost crosspoint on the bus.
2-19
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions
Transition Controls
AUTO
TRAN
CUT
Y ou can perform a transition using any of thr ee differ ent controls:
the lever arm, the AUTO TRAN button, or the CUT button.
The lever arm is used to perform “manual” transitions. The BKGD
B
, BKGD A, KEY 1, KEY 2, KEY PRIOR buttons, or any combination
thereof, can be delegated to the lever arm to perform the transition.
You can move the lever arm in either direction due to the flip-flop
architecture of the buses. Moving the lever arm from one limit to
the other always performs a complete transition.
Using the lever arm, it is possible to start a transition, stop it at
any point, reverse it, and even return to the original limit,
without completing the transition. The green arrow at the top
or bottom of the
lever arm travel lights to indicate the direction
that the lever arm has to move to complete the transition.
You can use the lever arm in combination with the AUTO TRAN
button to perform a transition. You can start the transition by
moving the lever arm off its limit, and finish the transition by
pressing AUTO TRAN. The transition is completed at a rate
proportional to the rate set for a full AUTO TRAN transition. For
example, if the lever arm is moved halfway and the transition is
completed by pressing AUTO TRAN at a rate of 200 frames, the
remaining half of the transition will take 100 frames.
2-20
NOTE:
The lever arm will be left off-limit any time you begin a
transition with the lever arm and finish it with AUTO TRAN. The lever
arm
will not function properly again until is moved to either limit (this
action will not change the M/E output). While the lever arm is nonfunctional, both lever arm direction indicators are on.
Pressing CUT cannot, however, complete a transition begun with
the lever arm. In this case, CUT reverses the inputs during the
background transitions. During key transitions, it changes the
logic state of the key.
Transition Subpanels
E-MEM recall operations result in another set of conditions for
lever arm transitions. When an E-MEM recall places a transition at
a point different from that of the lever arm, the lever arm becomes
inactive until it is moved to catch up with the transition. For
example, assume the lever arm is on a limit and an E-MEM recall
puts the transition at some midpoint. In such a case, the lever arm
would be inoperative until you moved it far enough to catch up
with the transition. At that point, you could use the lever arm to
complete the transition or return it to the beginning limit. (Or , you
could press AUTO TRAN to complete the transition). Another
example of use with E-MEM is a case where the lever arm is off
limit and an E-MEM recall puts the transition on a limit. In this
instance, both lever direction lights would be lit, indicating the
lever arm is inoperative. Moving the lever arm to either limit will
turn the direction lights off and reactivate the lever arm. (You
could also use AUTO TRAN to resume the transition since auto
transitions continue to function even when the lever arm is
inoperative.)
AUTO
TRAN

Pressing the AUTO TRAN button starts an automatic S-linear
transition at the rate displayed on the LEDs next to the button. The
AUTO TRAN

thereof.
You can specify a transition rate by entering a value from 0 to 999
frames on the numeric keypad on the Effects Memory subpanel. A
zero frame transition is equivalent to a cut. (Refer to the M/E and
Master Effects Memory subpanel descriptions later in this section
for further information on setting the rate.) The lamp in the AUTO
TRAN
Pressing AUTO TRAN a second time during a transition, stops the
transition at the current point. The transition can be completed by
pressing the button a third time or by moving the lever arm to its
opposite limit. The lever arm becomes active when it catches up
with the auto transition in progress. Pressing the CUT button
leaves the transition where it stopped but reverses the two videos
or the logic state of a key. Similarly, you can start a transition by
using the lever arm and complete it by pressing the AUTO TRAN
button supports the same transitions as the lever arm:

Key Mix Rates
The mix rates used by the KEY 1 MIX and KEY 2 MIX buttons on the
M/E Keyer panels are independently programmable, as detailed
under the E-MEM panel TRAN RATE button description. After the
M/E keyer mix rate has been programmed for each button, the
rate is shown in the T ransition panel r eadout only while the mix is
in progress or while the SHOW KEY button on the Keyer or DSK
panel is being pressed.
The mix rates used by the DSK 1 MIX and DSK 2 MIX buttons at the
right edge of the PGM-PST/DSK Transition panel are similarly
independently programmable, but those rates may also be used as
auto transition rates by the
PST/DSK Transition panel.
DSK Key Transition Rates
When an auto transition is done on the PGM-PST/DSK T ransition
panel, all transitions (BKGD, DSK 1, and/or DSK 2) take place at
the same rate. What that rate is depends on what transitions are
enabled at the time, with the programmed rate for the left-most
enabled button taking precedence.
DSK 1 and DSK 2 buttons on the PGM-
In other words, if a BKGD transition is enabled (BKGD button lit),
the auto transition rate will be the rate displayed in the readout on
the Transition panel. However, if BKGD is not enabled, the auto
transition rate will be the programmed rate for the leftmost DSK
button—DSK 1 if it is enabled, or DSK 2 if that is the only enabled
transition.

Mix/Effects Effects Memory Subpanel (3000-3 Only)
The Effects Memory (E-MEM®) subpanel for each M/E (see
Figure 2-6) allows you to learn and recall effects setups for the
mix/effects system in which the subpanel resides. It also provides
effects dissolves and sequences between effects stored in its own
registers.
Refer to the Master Effects Memory subpanel description, later in
this section, for a description of the use of the mix/effects E-MEM
panels when controlled by Master E-MEM to produce the overall
output of the switcher.
NOTE:
Much of the following information is repeated in the description
of the Master E-MEM panel; however , it is included here so that you can
see the differences between the operation of the mix/effects E-MEM panel
and that of the Master E-MEM keypad and readout.

Learn and Recall Operations
Effects setups are stored in E-MEM registers. The following
parameters are learned and recalled in learn/recall operations on
the mix/effects E-MEMs: standard or layered mode operation,
crosspoint settings, transition settings, keyer settings, masks and
mattes, chroma key settings, wipes, positioner settings and full
additive mix (FAM) settings.
E-MEM Registers
There is a total of 100 registers in each mix/effects E-MEM,
grouped in ten banks of ten registers. Each register belongs to a
specific bank (0 through 9) and has a unique number (0 through 9)
within that bank. For example, register 46 means bank 4,
register 6.
When the system is powered up, the keypad readout comes up
with a “NO REG” message.
Learning Effects
To learn an effect setup into a register, press the following
sequence of buttons on the E-MEM subpanel:

Pressing three number buttons on the keypad automatically
enters the rate. If only one or two number buttons are pressed, the
entry must be completed by pressing ENTER. Rates from zero

(only) is illuminated when this linear key is selected.
If a linear key is desired, but the key signal is not at the correct
level, adjustments can be made with the CLIP and GAIN knobs.
CLIP adjusts the offset of the key signal (over a small range) in
linear key mode. GAIN adjusts the amplitude of the key signal
(over a small range).
If either knob is adjusted away from unity, the LUM KEY button
lights in addition to the LIN KEY button lamp. When both buttons
are illuminated, that indicates to the operator that a linear key is
being performed with non-unity gain and/or clip. If key memory
is on, the non-unity clip and gain settings are recalled whenever
the input associated with these settings is selected.
LUM
KEY
When gain and clip are returned to unity, the LUM KEY button
lamp goes off. Because it is difficult to adjust the knobs back to
exact unity , provision is made to for ce the unity values by pressing
the LIN KEY button a second time while the button is lit. This
action restores unity and turns off the LUM KEY button lamp.
The LUM KEY button selects a luminance key that has variable clip
and gain adjustment and S-shaping of the key signal. Key CLIP

chroma keyer operation. CHR KEY does not function with
background keyers (layered mode), and is not available on the

Pressing the Primary Preset Pattern
PRI PST PTTN button selects
the output of the primary (transition) wipe generator as the key
source. Pattern adjustment is provided by the W ipe subpanel (see
the Wipe subpanel description later in this section for details). The
key CLIP and GAIN knobs are non-functional when this mode is
selected.
In the signal path through the Model 3000 switcher, keys,
including preset patterns, occur before the effect send cr osspoints.
This allows any key, including a preset pattern, to be sent to an
external digital video effects device via an effects send. Transition
wipes, however, occur after the effects send crosspoints.

The secondary wipe generator option provides wipe pattern
selection independent of the primary wipe generator (no
interaction occurs between them). Without the secondary wipe
option, only secondary preset pattern edge attributes are
independent (preset size, softness, soft symmetry, border width,
border matte, border opacity, and normal/reverse).
All pattern controls are present on the Wipe subpanel and Wipe
menus. Refer to the Wipe subpanel description, later in this
section, for a discussion of these controls.
Primary and Secondary Preset Patterns can be used with all
keyers in layered mode. Preset patterns are not available on the
DSKs.
The
VIDEO FILL and MATTE FILL buttons determine whether the
key is filled with key bus video or a locally generated matte. These
buttons are mutually exclusive; pressing one button de-selects the
other. One of the two buttons is always active and illuminated.
VIDEO FILL and MATTE FILL operate independently from the key
source buttons. All keyer modes except the A and B keyers operate
with either video or matte fill.
When the key bus is contributing to the switcher Program output,
pressing MATTE FILL does not low tally the key bus, even though
the key fill video is not visible.
Video fill mode operates with background keyers in layered

bus (for Keyers 1 and 2) or on the background bus (for
background keyers in layered mode only).
If VIDEO KEY and VIDEO FILL are both selected, the result is a selfkey.
Pressing VIDEO KEY while in Chroma Key mode causes an
encoded chroma key, using the fill video as the source for the
encoded chroma keyer.
Pressing the AUTO SEL KEY button forces the key to be derived
from a user-defined source.
User preferences selected in the Configuration/User Preferences
menu determine whether a luminance or linear key is a self-key or
an external key (and determine which external key is used). They
also specify whether chroma keys are encoded or analog
component (YUV, BETA or RGB).
Split Key Operation
2-38
A Split Key uses any key sour ce other than a key derived from the
key fill (self key) or a key source pre-selected in user preferences
or a preset pattern. Split Keys can be used in all keyers, in either
standard or layered mode.
A Split Key is set up by first selecting the key fill sour ce on the Key
bus, then holding down the VIDEO KEY button or the AUTO
SELECT
button while pressing a second button on the key bus.
The second source provides the key signal. For AUTO SELECT that
key is the external key signal mapped to that column of crosspoint

Chroma Keyer Operation
The following procedure describes manual adjustment of a
chroma key. Automatic adjustment is provided by the Chroma
Key Auto-Setup Option.
The chroma keyer performs the fundamental suppression
operation by subtracting mattes from the foreground. This r esults
in a shaped foreground without a multiply operation. The
primary hue selector chooses the hue to be subtracted out of the
foreground. Chroma is subtracted off first, followed by a
luminance subtraction.
2-50
NOTE:
Adjustment of chroma keys is aided by having a waveform
monitor mounted in or near the control room console.
1. Select CHR KEY on the appropriate Keyer panel.
2. For an RGB chr oma key, select AUTO SEL on the Keyer panel;
for an encoded chroma key (with a Decoder board installed),
select VIDEO KEY on the Keyer panel.
3. Select the chroma key source on the KEY bus.
4. Bring up the Chroma Key menu by pressing the main menu

button.
5. Set BACKGROUND VIDEO to OFF and set FOREGROUND
CORING
to FIXED in the Chroma Key menu.

6. Select the background hue to be suppressed. Select BKGD
SUPR
on the Chroma Keyer panel, then set the CHROMA and
LUM
knobs fully counterclockwise. Turn the HUE knob for
maximum effect on the desired suppression hue.
7. Adjust the SELECTIVITY knob for the desired amount of
selectivity (range of hues admitted by the hue selector).
Counterclockwise widens the selectivity; clockwise narrows
the selectivity.
8. Adjust the CHROMA knob until all chroma has been
subtracted out of the background. Clockwise allows greater
suppression.
9. SELECTIVITY and CHROMA may be readjusted to optimize
suppression of the background chroma.
10. Adjust the LUM knob until the background is subtracted down
to black.
11. In the Chroma Key menu, set BACKGROUND VIDEO to ON. To
aid in the adjustment of background video, you may also wish
to set FOREGROUND VIDEO to OFF.
12. Select a background on the M/E to present the desired
background. Adjust the CLIP and GAIN controls on the Keyer
subpanel to achieve the desired effect. Use the lowest gain
that still allows a fully opaque key. Small adjustments of the
HUE
and LUM knobs may be made as desired.
13. If you turned off FOREGROUND VIDEO in step 1 1, turn it back
on at this time.
14. You may verify the desired appearance of the chroma key by
selecting SHOW KEY on the Keyer subpanel and observing the
key on the Preview monitor. Readjustment of the CLIP and
GAIN
controls on the Keyer subpanel may be made, if desired.
2-51
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions
A secondary hue selector in the Model 3000 adds a color vector
opposite the background hue to selected foreground objects. This
can be used to tint foreground objects to counteract the color from
the background. The secondary hue selector affects only the
chroma suppression of the foreground. It does not contribute to
the background key signal nor to luminance suppression. This
function is enabled by the SECONDARY COLOR SUPPRESS
selection in the Chroma Key/Secondary Color menu.
Refer to the Menu Descriptions section of this manual for
additional features provided by the Chroma Key menu.

Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions
E-MEM Registers
Effect setups are stored in E-MEM r egisters. There is a total of 100
registers in the Master E-MEM, grouped in ten banks of ten
registers. Each register belongs to a specific bank (0 through 9) and
has a unique number (0 through 9) within that bank. For example,
register 46 means bank 4, register 6.
When the system is powered up, the keypad readout comes up
with a “NO CURRENT REG” message.
Effects and Keyframes
An E-MEM “effect” has generally been considered to be whatever
was stored in an E-MEM register. This consisted of the status of
enabled levels of the switcher as set up on the control panel and in
the menus, at the time the E-MEM effect was stored (“learned”).
However , the Model 3000 Switcher is now able to store mor e than
one switcher state (“a keyframe”) on each enabled level in a single
E-MEM register, and to transition, or “run,” between keyframes.
Therefore, a keyframe effect is considered to be a sequence of
keyframes stored in a single E-MEM register.
2-56
You may think of an E-MEM effect as being the same as a
keyframe effect, but consisting of a single keyframe on each
enabled level. This mode of operation (single-keyframe effects)
may still be used, and may be preferable to multiple-keyframe
effects in many instances.
Enable Buttons
Master Effects Memory (E-MEM) Subpanel
When you learn a switcher state (or insert a keyframe) into an
E-MEM register , the only switcher parameters that are learned ar e

Each E-MEM register is partitioned into sections (or “levels”)
corresponding to the Enable buttons and representing functional
areas of the control panel and associated menu selections.
All register manipulations, including Learn, Recall, Put, Get, and
Run operations, affect only the enabled register levels. This allows
you to build independent effects on each level and to recall or run
the levels independently.
For example, an effect using both M/E 1 and M/E 2 could be built
with both being enabled, and either the M/E 1 or M/E 2 part of
the effect could run separately by enabling only one and recalling
the register . Conversely, separate effects built at different times, in
different levels of the same register, could run together by
enabling both M/E 1 and M/E 2.
The M/E 1, M/E 2, M/E 3 (3000-3 only), PGM PST, and DSK buttons are
also used when setting transition rates in the effects systems, as
described later (see TRAN RATE).
Pressing ENABL ALL lights all Enable buttons (enables all levels) if
any or all of them are not presently on, or turns all Enable buttons
off if all of them are already on. This action allows all levels to be
enabled or disabled with a maximum of two button presses.

RUN
AUTO RCL allows the state of the Enable buttons to be learned or
recalled as part of an effect.
If AUTO RCL is on while an effect is learned, the state of the Enable
buttons is learned as part of the effect. If AUTO RCL is off while an
effect is learned, the enables are not learned, and any subsequent
recall (even if AUTO RCL is on during the recall) does not change
the state of the enables.
If AUTO RCL is on during a recall, the enables (as learned) ar e first
recalled, then the resulting enabled portions of the switcher are
recalled. If AUTO RCL is off during a recall, the enables remain as
set on the Enable panel, and those parts of the effect are recalled.
AUTO RUN enables effect Recall-and-Run operations. When AUTO
RUN
is active, a register recall causes a recall of the r egister , sets the
Time Cursor at Time 0, and causes an immediate run if the effect
contains more than one keyframe.

A sequence loop may be cr eated by again pressing the first register
button as the last register in the sequence.
Sequences are initiated by pressing the following buttons:
SEQ, register
The sequence starts at the register indicated, and proceeds
through the linked sequence to the last register. If a loop has been
programmed, the sequence loop continues until the SEQ button is
pressed to terminate the sequence.
A sequence loop can be broken by double-pressing a register
button, which clears the sequence link that existed in that register
and making that the last register in the sequence.

Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions
If AUTO RUN is off, a sequence that includes a multiple-keyframe
effect will recall the first keyframe in the register, but will not run
the effect, then will proceed on to the next register in the sequence.
If AUTO RUN is on, the sequence will recall the first keyframe, then
run the effect before proceeding to the next register.
During a sequence of registers with multiple levels, the SEQ
button will high tally if any of the enabled levels was learned with
a sequence. However, this does not necessarily mean that all
enabled levels are sequencing.
Different sequence delays may be learned separately into differ ent
enabled levels. The sequence delays on different levels are
completely independent, and thus the sequencing may be
occurring at different times on different levels. (The register
sequence information is displayed in the E-MEM Register menu.
If an E-MEM level is disabled (its Enable button turned off) while
it is actively sequencing, the sequence will continue. Turning off
SEQ button at that time will not halt the sequence, because the
the
sequencing level is not delegated. To ensure halting all actively
running sequences, all E-MEM levels must be enabled (ENABL
ALL
) and then SEQ turned off.

EFF
DIS
EFF DIS causes an S-linear transition from the Current Switcher
State to the next recalled register. The Current Switcher State may
be a setup you have just done on the control panel or the state
resulting from a register recall.
An effects dissolve may be learned into a register , so that r ecalling
that register will initiate a dissolve to another specified register.
Note that only the levels that are enabled on the E-MEM Enable
subpanel will be learned as effects dissolves.
If AUTO RUN is off, an effects dissolve to a multiple-keyframe
effect will stop at the first keyframe of the effect. If AUTO RUN is
on, the current state will dissolve to the first keyframe and the
effect will run.

The following button sequence is used to learn an effects dissolve
(parameters in parentheses are optional):

may be pressed in either order to start the

TRAN RATE

in the dissolve;
eff dissolve rate
is a 1- to 3-digit number entered on the keypad that
specifies the effects dissolve rate in number of TV frames. (If the number
entered is a 1- or 2-digit number, the entry must be terminated by
pressing
register

ENTER);
is any desired register number, as described previously (for
BANK, bank number, register number
).
The effects dissolve rate is the same as the auto transition rate
indicated in the readout on the corresponding Transition
subpanel.
When the register with the learned effects dissolve is recalled, the
EFF DIS button will high tally until the dissolve is completed, then
will turn off.
During a recall of a register with multiple levels, the EFF DIS
button will high tally if any of the enabled levels contains an
effects dissolve. This does not necessarily mean that all enabled
levels are dissolving.
Different effects dissolve rates may be learned separately into
different enabled levels. The effects dissolve rates on different
levels are completely independent, and thus the dissolves may be
running at different rates on different levels.
A LRN MOD operation can be used to change the effects dissolve
rates on delegated levels of the effect.

The • (dot) button is used to represent the next unlocked empty
UNDO
•
register when used with the LRN and PUT buttons. The next
unlocked empty register is defined as the next register that is
unlocked and empty on all levels, not just enabled levels. The
search for an unlocked empty register starts at the Current
Register and proceeds to register 99, then wraps around to r egister
0 and continues.
LRN • learns the enabled levels of the Current Switcher State
into the next unlocked empty register, and that register
becomes the Current Register. This initiates the register as a
single-keyframe effect.
PUT • ENTER copies the enabled levels of the Current Register
into the next unlocked empty register. If multiple keyframes
are contained in the enabled levels of the Current Register,
they are copied into the new register. The Current Switcher
State and the Current Register are not affected by this
operation.

BANK
UNDO
•
NOTE:
If there are no unlocked empty registers, the operation will not
be done, an error beep will sound, and the keypad readout will show “NO
EMPTY REGS”
GET • ENTER clears out all levels of the Current Register, which
makes it an empty register. The Current Switcher State is not
affected.
The • function is also used to separate seconds, frames, and field
parameters in time entry commands such as GO TO TIME and KF
DUR
.
UNDO is used to back out of a Recall, Learn, Put, Get, or another
Undo register operation. The UNDO button lights when pressed,
confirming that it has been pressed. An Undo must be done
immediately after an undesired operation, otherwise it may not be
able to undo the operation.
