How to use this manual

This manual, the Model 3000 User Guide, is intended initially to get you up and running with the Model 3000 switcher , and later to answer more detailed questions you may have regarding operation.

W e suggest that you read the System Overview ﬁrst, to familiarize yourself with the system architecture and the terminology used in this manual.

Then turn on the system as described in the Startup section and conﬁgure the switcher parameters for your site or studio. It is assumed that the system has been physically installed according to your studio plan and that all inputs and outputs are connected properly . It is important that your switcher be pr operly conﬁgured before you attempt to put it into regular operation.

After conﬁguring the switcher, you may go directly to the operating procedures. If you need more detailed information about the operation of a speciﬁc control or menu, refer to the Operation Reference manual.

How to use this manual

If you are not an experienced operator, you should read or scan the Control Panel and Menu Descriptions sections of the Operation Reference manual to get an idea of the functions of the subpanels, controls, and menus. Terminology that you may need to know more about is presented in a Glossary at the end of this manual.

For quickly locating speciﬁc areas of interest, refer to the Table of Contents at the front of this manual, to the “local” table of contents behind each tabbed divider, or to the Index.

System Overview

Introduction

This section presents a general description of the Grass Valley Model 3000 Switching System, pointing out speciﬁc areas of interest to the operator. Both the 3000-2 (a two-effects 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.

1-1

Section 1 — System Overview

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.

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 W ipe Generators, and Frame Store. Most options are available as circuit board modules to be installed in the Signal Processor Frame.

Refer to the Model 3000 System Information manual for a complete description of the Signal Processor.

Physical Description

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.

1-5

Section 1 — System Overview

Power Supplies

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.

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.

Video and Key Inputs and Outputs

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 Startup and Conﬁguration section of this manual for information on assigning input formats and adjusting timing.

Video and Key Inputs and 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)

Figure 1-5. Video and Key Outputs

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.

Functional Description

1-13

Section 1 — System Overview

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 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. 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.
