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:

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.

1-14

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 DSK, another 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 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.

1-18

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.

Description of Options

Effects Send

Section 2 — Startup & Configuration

Powering Up

The Model 3000 is designed for continuous operation. It may already be on and operating; however, the following power-up procedure is provided in the event that it isn’t:

1. Turn on the power switch on the front of the Signal Pr ocessor

Power Supply. 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. If the Processor is equipped with a redundant power supply, turn on that supply also.

2. Raise the Control Panel and turn on the power supply switch.

If a redundant power supply is included in the Control Panel, turn on both power supply switches. Verify that the green RUN LED on the control panel CPU Board is lit. This board is located in the middle of the control panel tub on the Model 3000-2, and in the upper control panel in the Model 3000-3.

3. Verify that the Menu Display on the upper Contr ol Panel is on

and displaying the “Grass Valley” sign-on logo.

Boot-Up

2-2

4. Verify that the pushbutton lamps on the panel ar e on and that

the E-MEM and Transition subpanel readout LEDs are on.

If one of these indications is incorrect, turn off all power supplies and refer to the Diagnostics and Troubleshooting section of the Installation and Service manual.

When the system is turned on, data stored in the User-Deﬁned Default memory is loaded into the Current Working Buffer memory, which sets the initial state of the switcher.

System Status

Powering Up

The data contained in the Current Working Buffer is used for all normal operations. At any time, this data (the current switcher state) can be returned to the user-deﬁned default values by pressing the CLEAR WORK BUFR button on the Effects Memory subpanel. In addition, the user-deﬁned default state can be changed at any time through the use of the Conﬁguration/User Prefs/Deﬁne Defaults Menu, as described later in this section.

Before attempting to conﬁgure the Model 3000 Switcher, it is helpful to know what inputs and outputs are available, and what options are installed in the Signal Processor.

The three pages of the Install Info Menu, available under the main Status Menu, provides information about the presence, version, and types of boards installed.

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 that 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.

Section 2 — Startup & Configuration

Configuring Inputs

Primary video and key inputs to the switcher are numbered 1 through 64. Each input can be treated as either a video signal or a key signal.

Each input, including Black and Background, can be mapped to any vertical column of source select (“crosspoint”) buttons.

Internally-generated sources (black, backgrounds, mask, etc.) are also available for selection on the crosspoint matrix.

In the Model 3000-2, thirty-two inputs may be assigned to the crosspoint buttons — 16 unshifted and 16 shifted inputs (described below).

In the Model 3000-3, forty-eight inputs may be assigned to the crosspoint buttons — 24 unshifted and 24 shifted inputs (described below).

The external video and key assignments must correspond to the video and key inputs connected to the frame, as described in the Installation section of the Installation and Service manual.

2-14

The assignments made on the source selection panel may be any combination of external inputs and internal inputs.

During the assignment procedure, each of the 32 (or 48) input buses may be assigned a video signal, a key signal, and a chroma key signal.

SHIFT button located at the right end of each primary source

The selection row provides access to the 16 (or 24) shifted inputs.

Setting Switcher Output Timing

With the Effects Send option installed in a Model 3000, the PGM output on Aux Buses 1 through 4 was delayed compar ed to other switcher outputs. Software provides an adjustment of the switcher length that allows you to match the timing of all outputs.

CA UTION

Adjustment of the switcher output timing is not recommended unless you have the Effects Send option and you expect to use PGM out on Aux Buses 1 through 4. Increasing the switcher length may affect other timing in your facility.

The switcher length timing adjustment is done in the Conﬁguration/Outputs/Output Timing menu.

1. To gain access to the switcher length adjustment, ﬁrst press the CONFG button on the main menu subpanel, then press the

Section 2 — Startup & Configuration

Configuring a DPM

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.

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.

2-34

The video path through a DPM introduces a video delay into the system. For example, Kaleidoscope introduces a 2-ﬁeld video delay. It is most important that this delay be set correctly in the DPM Setup Menu if Effects Send is to be used.

NOTE:

If the video delay is not set correctly, ther e will be a glitch in the

video upon entering Effects Send mode.

Configuring External Interfaces

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.

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

KSCOPE, KRYSTAL, OTHER FIXED or NONE.

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).

2-35

Section 2 — Startup & Configuration

Both KSCOPE and KRYSTAL 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 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 feeding channel 2, etc.) and 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 3000 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.

2-36

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. 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.

Section 2 — Startup & Configuration

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.

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

Control Connections

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 with Kaleidoscope or Krystal. 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 KSCOPE in the DPM Setup Menu, CPL

When is automatically invoked. PORT ASSIGN must be set to the port to which the serial cable is connected (PORT A1).

Also, when KSCOPE is selected as the DPM TYPE, aux bus control is automatically assigned to Kaleidoscope. With Kaleidoscope controlling the aux buses, when a source button is selected on the Kaleidoscope panel, that source button is also selected on the switcher for that aux bus, and vice versa. So an effect running on Kaleidoscope can cause the switcher to select different crosspoints. This is the mechanism used to achieve front/back switching.

2-40

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 KSCOPE. When any other type of DPM is selected as the DPM TYPE, aux bus

control is performed by the Model 3000 Switcher. Peripheral Bus II (Port A3 Only) — PBusII is used for run 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:

Configuring External Interfaces

PORT ASSIGN = NONE CHANNEL ROUTING

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.

NOTE:

The optional M/E Preview mezzanine board must be installed in each M/E in order to select AUTO and LOOKAHEAD Preview Modes. These selections will not be displayed in the menu if the board is not installed.

The choice of the Preview Mode to be used depends primarily on how many monitors you have per M/E and how you wish to use them, as illustrated in Figure 2-5.

AUTO — Use this mode to automatically toggle between the

M/E PGM and PVW (next transition) outputs when a single M/E monitor is used. The monitor displays the M/E PVW output when the M/E is on air (high tally); it displays the M/ E PGM output when it is not on air (low tally).

LOOKAHEAD — Use to preview what is going on-air next.

Always shows the next transition of the selected M/E.

PGM — Use to display the PGM output of the M/E or the

PGM PST on the Preview monitor.

KEY PVW (Displayed only when PGM PST is selected) — Use

to preview DSK 1 and DSK 2 keys over the PGM PST transition on the Preview Monitor.

modes to the selected keyer, as follows:

ALL KEYERS — Causes the preview of all keyers using a

mask on that M/E or DSK to dim on the Preview monitor .

DELEG KEYER — Causes only the preview of the keyer

that is currently delegated and inserting a mask on that

M/E or DSK to dim on the Preview monitor.

OFF — Turns off the preview dim function so that the

preview never dims on that M/E or DSK regardless of

masking.

5. Press the PUSH TO PVW button to enable/disable the push-to-

preview mode for the entire switcher. Hold down the key delegate button (for example panel) of the appropriate keyer for 1/2 second or more to display the M/E look-ahead preview along with the selected keyer output on the switched preview monitor.

When the key delegate button is released, the preview display remains on for a programmed time-out period, as set by the

Setting User-Defined System Defaults

The Deﬁne Defaults Menu allows you to change the default values that are stored in memory and used when the switcher is turned on or the CLEAR WORK BUFR button is pressed. The values stored in the User-Deﬁned Default Buffer (battery-backed RAM) are loaded into the Working Buffer when power is applied to the switcher. This sets the initial state of the switcher parameters.

Operating Notes

Field Dominance Selection

In the Model 3000 Switcher, all “set” changes such as crosspoint selections and E-MEM recalls take effect during the vertical interval of the video signal, just prior to either Field 1 or Field 2.

The Field Dominance feature in the Conﬁguration/System Parameters Menu allows you to specify when these changes will take effect.

1. Press the CONFG button on the main menu subpanel, then

press the SYSTEM PARAMS> soft button in the Conﬁguration Menu. This will bring up the System Parameters Menu.

With Field Dominance off (FIELD DOM set to NONE), selection changes become effective at the beginning of the next ﬁeld (immediately after the functions have been changed).

2-64

Use of Field Dominance

If the output of the Model 3000 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 FIELD 2 were selected as the dominant ﬁeld, those changes that take place prior to Field 1 would be delayed until Field 2.
