Section 1 — System Overview

Secondary Wipe Generators

An optional Secondary Wipe Generator for each Mix/Effects provides a second
wipe pattern for each of the M/E systems. With this option installed, two
independent wipe patterns are allowed within each M/E. The output from the
Secondary Wipe Generator can be mixed or non-additively mixed with the output
from the primary wipe generator to create novel wipe patterns.
This option also allows the Preset wipe pattern to differ from the transition wipe
pattern. It can also be used as an additional mask source and a matte generator
modulator within each M/E.
The Secondary Wipe Generator Modules are sub-modules which mount onto the
Mix/Wipe Modules in each M/E.
An identical Secondary Wipe Generator Module option is also available for the
Program/Preset Mixer in the Model 4000-2A switcher only.

Dual Chromatte Advanced Chroma Keyer

Optional Chromatte™ Advanced Chroma Keyer Modules are available for
component chroma keying. Each module provides chroma keying for both
foreground keyers in each M/E. Dual Chromatte™ Chroma Keyer Modules are
installed in the lower front bay of the Signal Processor Frame. Any internal 4:2:2
component signal may be used to chroma key.
To use external analog component inputs for chroma keying, the optional Dual
Analog Component Chroma Key Input Modules must be installed. Each input
module provides two analog component inputs for use by any chroma keyer. Up
to three input modules may be installed for a total of six analog component inputs.
The input modules are installed in the lower rear bay of the Signal Processor
Frame.
The following analog component formats are supported:
RGB Betacam® YUV
MII
SMPTE

BORDERLINE Key Edge Generation

BORDERLINE® Key Edge Generators are optional for each keyer in the switcher.
The BORDERLINE option is added by plugging a small sub-module onto the
Keyer module of an M/E or the DSK. One sub-module can be installed for each of
the two keyers in each M/E and one in each of the two keyers of the Down Stream
Keyer (DSK) module. The Switcher could have up to six sub-modules installed,
two for the keyers in each M/E and two for the DownStream Keyer.
Each BORDERLINE Key Edge Generator supports 1, 2, or 3 line wide borders or
outlines. Video fill is provided within the borders. Shadow and extrude modes
create 1 to 6 line wide edges, positioned either below left or below right. Separate
mattes are provided by the generators for edge and fill. Key Edge opacity is
adjustable.

Tally Output

The Tally Relay Module Option provides 64 tally relay closures for on-air source
indicators. This option is a single module which slides into the rear bays.
Available Options
An Extended Tally Option is also available to allow expanded tally relay outputs.
Three additional Tally Modules provide 64 tally relay outputs per module. The
additional Tally Modules are housed in a separate two rack-unit frame which
connects to the main frame via a standard SMPTE interconnect cable not to exceed
1000 feet (305 meters).

Look-Ahead Preview

The Look-Ahead Preview option provides look-ahead preview processing for both
M/Es, the Program/Preset and the DSK. This option provides a Clean Feed output
in place of the M/E Program Key and allows you to preview the next event on the
preview bus output. Each Look-Ahead Preview Module is a plug-in mezzanine
module that installs below the Primary Wipe Generator Module mezzanine on
each Mix/Wipe Module in the system.

Section 1 — System Overview

Extender Modules

Two module extenders are supplied for use in troubleshooting Signal Processor
Frame modules to the module level only. The longer extender is for the modules
in front bays A (top) and B (bottom). The shorter one is for the input and output
modules in rear bays C (top) and D (bottom). These extenders allow you to extend
a circuit module beyond the depth of the signal frame, so that components are
readily accessible for testing and maintenance.

Frame Store Option

The Frame Store option allows storage and retrieval of images at a resolution of 10
bits. Frame Store is source oriented in that its inputs are fed with an AUX/effects
send bus (Aux 4) and the outputs are available as primary inputs to the crosspoint
matrix. Frame Store can be connected in the effects send loops. Frame Store
features are listed below:
Video hue functions include rotate or blur (mutually exclusive).
Frame Store functions can be controlled by E-MEM.
Real-time video bit map effects include Mosaic, Posterize, Solarize, Color
modulate, Contrast stretching or Hue modulate and subpixel repositioning. Effects can be applied to frozen or live video.
Write after read capability allowing layering of stills in a recursive manner.
(i.e., frame store could receive output from an M/E that is using the frame store as one of its inputs).
Ability to provide a real-time drop shadow on a key that can be positioned
anywhere in the raster. Shadow can be blurred and opacity adjusted independently of Video and Key framestores.
Frame Store Video and Key may be keyed on top of a background source.
Four pages of two-field images may be captured at 525 line rate (3 pages at 625
line).
If Field 1 or Field 2 are frozen, interpolation modes can be applied.
Independently adjustable crop on video and/or key.

Power Supplies

The Model 4000 is powered by two power supply assemblies. One assembly
supplies the Control Panel. It is located inside the Control Panel tub. The Signal
Processor Frame is powered by a single 19" standard rack mounted power supply
assembly.
Optional redundant power supply assemblies are available for both the Control
Panel and the Signal Processing Frame.
Control Panel Power Supplies
Power is provided to the Control Panel by an assembly containing two individual
power supplies which is mounted inside the main Control Panel tub. A redundant
power supply option provides a second, backup power supply assembly. The
optional assembly also mounts inside the panel.
Frame Power Supplies
Available Options
Power for the Signal Processor Frame is provided by a single 19” rack mounted
assembly containing two individual power supplies. The assembly is rack
mounted directly below and wired directly to the Signal Processor Frame. When
the optional redundant supply is installed, it is rack mounted below the standard
supply and interconnected by a wiring harness. The frame power supply assembly
is air cooled by integral fans.

Section 1 — System Overview

Physical Description

Model 4000 Series electronic circuitry is contained on circuit modules in the Signal
Processor Frame and Control Panel.
Control circuitry is located in the Control Panel and in the top bay of the Signal
Processor Frame. There are four card cages referred to as ”bays” in the Signal
Processor Frame. For reference, the bays are referred to as “A” and “B,”
corresponding to the top and bottom front bays and “C” and “D,” corresponding
to the top and bottom rear bays.
In this manual and in other related documents, the circuit modules will be referred
to by the specific names and assembly numbers printed on them.

Control Panel

The Control Panel is the operator interface for the Model 4000 systems and
provides all operator controls for the two Mix/Effects and DSK systems.
Through the Control Panel, the operator performs all actions via mechanical
buttons and controls, or through software controlled menus and soft button
adjustments. The Control panel provides the data link to the Signal Processor
Frame.

Signal Processor Frame

The Signal Processor Frame is a large rack-mounted unit, (see Figure 1-5), that
houses all of the signal processing modules along with some control processor
modules.
The Head-of-State (HOS) processor and all M/E processors reside on two Control
Processor modules in Bay A (top bay) of the frame. Control Processor 1 contains
the HOS processor which supervises the state of the switcher, handles
communication with the Control Panel and controls the video hardware. The M/
E 1 processor also resides on this module.
The Control Processor 2 contains the circuitry for communication with the editor,
tally expansion and other remote control. The M/E 2 and M/E 3 processors are on
this module.
Since each M/E has its own processor, failure of the HOS processor does not shut
down the entire switcher. Individual M/Es can continue to operate independently,
although in a degraded capacity (cuts, mixes and fade- to-black continue to
operate).
The Control Panel communicates with the Signal Processor Frame over
RS-422 data links, one per M/E plus a flip/flop mix data link. Each of the links is
contained within a single cable that may be up to 1000 feet long.
