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.

xii

Whenever you need to know more about a particular switcher term, turn to the Glossary at the back of the User Guide.

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

■

(DSK) Program Key

■

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 .

Section 1 — System Overview

Description of Options

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.
