SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The DD switcher is designed in conformity with the safety regulations EN60950 /
VDE 0805 (protection class 1) and are in an unobjectionable condition when leaving the factory.
Information on the following pages provides important safety guidelines for Operators and Service Personnel. Specific warnings and cautions will be found throughout the manual where they apply, but may not appear here. Please read and follow
the important safety information, noting especially those instructions related to risk
of fire, electrical shock or injury to person.
Warning:
Any instructions in this manual that require opening the equipment cover or
enclosure are for use by qualified service personnel only. To reduce the risk
of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than contained in the
manual unless you are qualified to do so.
With the standard modules installed, the E Box and panels are heavy. During installation and until secured in the rack or the desk, use an appropriate lifing device to lift
and support the mainframe. Failure to follow this precaution can result in injury to
personnel and damage to equipment.
The equipment shall be installed in Restricted Access Areas.
The switcher is designed for operation with one-phase mains earthed neutral conductor. When setting up and connecting the switcher, connect the external earth
line always before connecting the power line.
Thus is ensured that in case of a short-circuit between mains and case, the voltage
is led to earth.
For this reason, never disconnect the earth line from the device while it is operated.
The switcher must be only connected to an earthed socket. Check functioning of
the protective conductors. It must not be live. Any discontinuity in the protective
conductor may lead to a situation in which operational safety of the switcher can not
longer guaranteed. Earthing has to be performed according to the regional safety
regulations. When installing the lines, it is necessary to observe the national standards.
When mounting the switcher EBox and panel, care should be taken to allow for adequate air circulation. Detailed information you can find in the respective sections in
the installation manual of the switchers. Keep the EBox door always closed during
operation.
The admissible ambient temperature range of the switcher is within
+5°C and +35°C. Optimum operation is ensured at an ambient temperature of
25 °C ± 5 °C.
Make sure that the switcher is protected against humidity and keep dry!
Depending on the order of the customer, the switcher is adjusted to operate on
115V or 230V. The respective adjustment is indicated on the connector panel of the
unit. Before connecting power to the switcher, make sure that the voltage adjustment in the unit corresponds with the line voltage available in the studio.
Switching-over to another line voltage has to be carried out by qualified service personnel.

Caution – Double-pole or neutral fusing! After acting of the protective devices,
parts of the equipment may remain under voltage. Each main input is is protected
by two primary-side fuses located on the power terminal of the switchers units
(mainframe, panel). Additionally, the power supply units will be protected by internal fuses.
When replacing the fuses, make sure that a fuse link of same type and same current rating is used. Never use a mended fuse! Do not short-circuit the fuseholder!
Operate the switcher in the closed condition only, i.e. the mainframe with closed
door and locked panel. There are no parts inside the unit to be adjusted by the user
or parts to be exchanged.
Caution: Opening the mainframe door or the panel desk may give
access to live parts.
In such cases, the unit has to be disconnected completely from the mains.
If, however, working on the opened mainframe or opened panel is inevitable,
this has only to be done by qualified service personnel being informed about
the dangers involved.
Attention! Capacitors may still carry a residual charge!
If, for example, due to a failure, safe operation of the switcher is no longer ensured,
put the switcher out of operation and secure it against further use.
Do not insert or remove plug-in cards during operation.
Make sure that no parts protrude into the air conditioning holes. This might lead to
contact with dangerous voltages or to damages of sensitive circuit parts.
To prevent damages in the control panel gear no drinks in top of the desk. Penetrated liquids can lead to destroying the control panel boards. Make sure that no
small parts (e.g. office parenthesis) fall into the opening under the levers. This can
lead to short-circuits and damages.
The EMV regulations are only applicable when correctly shielded cables are used
for the installation of the equipment. This applies to video cables as well as control
cables. Corresponding cables can be obtained from BTS.
Run all connection cables in covered cable ducts (risk of stumbling).
For main connection, only use the supplied connection cable or a checked cable of
the same type.
The controller boards of the DD switchers contains a lithium battery, which has to be
exchanged every five years. Detailed information you can find in the section Ex-
change of the lithium battery in the service manual.
Used batteries must be disposed of carefully to avoid environmental damage.

SICHERHEITSHINWEISE
Die DD Mischer entsprechen den Sicherheitsbestimmungen von EN60950 / VDE
0805 (Schutzklasse 1) und haben das Werk in sicherheitstechnisch einwandfreiem
Zustand verlassen.
Um diesen Zustand zu erhalten und einen gefahrlosen Betrieb sicherzustellen,
sind die nachfolgenden und die in den einzelnen Abschnitten des Handbuches aufgeführten Sicherheitshinweise, insbesondere die Hinweise bezüglich Brandgefahr, elektrischer Schlag und Verletzungsgefahren, zu beachten:
Achtung:
Alle Wartungsarbeiten dürfen nur von qualifiziertem Fachpersonal ausgeführt werden. Um die Gefahren eines elektrischen Schlages (hohe Spannungen, gefährliche Energien), Brandgefahr und Verletzungen zu vermeiden,
sind bei Wartungsarbeiten, insbesondere wenn Gehäuseteile geöffnet werden, strikt die Angaben in der entsprechenden Anleitung zu befolgen. Andere als die angegebenen Wartungsarbeiten dürfen nur von Personen ausgeführt werden, die eine spezielle Befähigung dazu besitzen.
Mit den Standard-Modulen bestückt wiegt die E-Box des DD20 / DD30 ca. 45 kg.
Um Verletzungen von Personen oder Beschädigung des Gerätes zu vermeiden
sind bei der Installation und Montage in einem Geräteschrank entsprechende Hebeeinrichtungen einzusetzen.
Der Mischer ist für den Einsatz in besonderen Betriebsräumen mit beschränktem/
überwachten Zutritt vorgesehen.
Zur Spannungsversorgung ist ein Einphasen-Netz mit geerdetem Nulleiter notwendig. Beim Aufstellen und Anschließen des Mischers ist die Verkabelung einer
externen Erdleitung immer vor der Verkabelung der Netzleitung vornehmen. Hiermit wird gewährleistet, daß im Falle eines Kurzschlusses zwischen Netz und Gehäuse die Spannung gegen Erde abgeleitet wird. Daher die Erdleitung niemals
während des Betriebes vom Gerät lösen.
Der Mischer darf nur an eine geerdete Steckdose angeschlossen werden. Die
Funktion des Schutzleiters ist zu überprüfen. Er darf keine Spannung führen. Jede
Unterbrechung des Schutzleiters ist geeignet den Mischer gefährlich zu machen.
Die Erdung muß nach den regionalen Sicherheitsbestimmungen vorgenommen
werden. Bei der Leitungsinstallation sind die landesüblichen Normen zu beachten.
Bei der Montage der EBox und des Bedienpultes ist auf ausreichende Belüftung zu
achten. Detaillierte Angaben für die Belüftung finden Sie in den entsprechenden
Abschnitten des Installationshandbuches. Die Tür der E-Box ist während des Betriebes immer geschlossen zu halten.
Die zulässige Umgebungstemperatur beträgt +5 °C bis +35 °C.
Optimaler Betrieb ist bei einer Umgebungstemperatur von 25 °C ± 5 °C
gegeben.
Feuchtigkeitseinwirkungen (hohe Luftfeuchte, Flüssigkeiten) beeinträchtigen
den Betrieb!
Der Diamond digital Mischer ist entsprechend des Kundenauftrages entweder
auf den Spannungsbereich 115V oder 230V eingestellt. Die jeweilige Einstellung

auch nach dem Auslösen einer Sicherung unter Spannung bleiben!
Die Absicherung des Mischers erfolgt durch primärseitig angebrachte Schmelzeinsätze in den Netzanschlußeinheiten der Geräte (Bedienpult und E-Box).
Beim Auswechseln dieser Sicherungen nur eine Sicherung vom angegebenen Typ
und mit gleicher Nennstromstärke als Ersatz verwenden. Das Verwenden überbrückter Sicherungen oder das Kurzschließen des Sicherungshalters ist unzulässig.
Der Mischer ist im geschlossenen Zustand zu betreiben, d.h. E-Box-mit geschlossener Tür und Pult verriegelt. Im inneren der Geräte befinden sich keine Elemente,
die vom Benutzer während des Betriebs einzustellen oder auszutauschen sind.
Achtung: Beim Öffnen der EBox-Türen oder beim Öffnen des Pultes,
können Teile zugänglich werden, die Netzspannung führen.
In solchen Fällen ist das Gerät vorher von der Netzspannung abzutrennen.
Sind Arbeiten an der geöffneten EBox oder geöffneten Bedienpultes unvermeidlich, so darf dies nur durch eine Fachkraft durchgeführt werden, die mit
den damit verbundenen Gefahren vertraut ist.
ACHTUNG! Kondensatoren können noch geladen sein!
Ist - z. B. infolge eines Schadens - ein gefahrloser Betrieb nicht mehr möglich, muß
der Mischer außer Betrieb gesetzt, vom Netz abgetrennt und gegen Wiederinbetriebnahme gesichert werden.
Platinen dürfen nicht während des Betriebes aus dem Mischer herausgezogen
oder eingesteckt werden.
Keine Teile in die Lüftungsöffnungen stecken! Dies kann zu Kontakt mit gefährlichen Spannungen oder zur Zerstörung von empfindlichen elektronischen Bauteilen führen.
Zum Schutz vor Störungen und Beschädigung keine Getränke auf dem Bedienpult
abstellen. Das Eindringen von Flüssigkeiten kann zu Zerstörung von Platinen führen. Ebenso sollten keine kleinen Metallteile, z. B. Büroklammern, auf dem Bedienfeld ablegen. Durch die Öffnungsschlitze der Blendhebel können sie ins Gerät fallen und zu Kurzschlüssen und Zerstörungen führen.
Die EMV -Bestimmungen werden nur eingehalten, wenn bei der Installation der Geräte vorschriftsmäßig abgeschirmte Kabel verwendet werden. Dies gilt sowohl für
Video- als auch für Steuerkabel.
Entsprechende Kabel sind bei Philips BTS erhältlich.
Sämtliche Anschlußkabel in abgedeckten Kabelschächten verlegen (Stolpergefahr).

1.2 SWITCHER ARCHITECTURE
The switchers are set up as A/B mixers in the background (BGND) with 1 or 2 overlaid key layers for each mixing level. The next transition principle is consistently
realized and includes also the downstream key stage.
The mixing levels and the preset/program stage/downstream keyers are set up
with the same p.c. cards and do not differ in their hardwares.
For post-production, the mixing level of the switchers DD20 and DD30 can be
switched over to the layer mode. In this case, 2 keyers are available for chroma or
luminance key and 2 keyers for wipe signals.
The preview facilities (AUTO PREVIEW, TRANSITION PREVIEW) for preparing
the next contributions in the mixing levels are realized.
Integration of an external DVE unit into the signal path of the switcher is possible.
In this case, the signal path of the mixing level can be separated, the video signal
can be fed out to the DVE and the signal manipulated by the DVE can be looped
again into the signal path.
1.3 TV STANDARDS
The switcher processes without hardware modifications digital serial video signals
with the aspect ratios 4:3 and 16:9 (270 Mbits/s) in the standards 625 lines/50 Hz
2:1 interlaced and 525 lines/60 Hz 2:1 interlaced.

1.4 CONNECTION FACILITIES
1.4.1 INPUTS
The switcher exclusively disposes of serial digital video inputs which, depending
on the application, can be used without restrictions, either as background, key or
fill signal in all mixing levels (including the downstream keyer).
As a standard feature of the switcher, 12 (DD5), 16 (DD10), 24 (DD20) and 32
(DD30) inputs are provided.
The inputs are internally terminated and can process video signals in the format 4:3
or 16:9 (270 Mbits/s) in the standards 525/60 2:1 or 625/50 2:1 (no mixed forms).
All inputs are provided with an equalizer for compensating cable lengths of max.
150 m.
Furthermore, all inputs are provided with an automatic delay time correction which
can compensate delay inequalities referred to the blackburst input in the range of
± 1/4 line.
Asynchronous signals or inputs not connected, are detected and indicated.
For synchronization of the switcher in the studio, a loop-through reference input for
an analog blackburst signal is provided.
1.4.2 MATTE GENERATORS
For background designing, 2 central matte generators are provided in the switchers DD20 and DD30, which can be optionally used as background, key or fill signal.
For the types DD5 and DD10, only one central matte is available.
As a standard feature, in addition to plain mattes, extremely soft color floating effects between two optional colors or black or white are possible in H or V direction
or diagonally. Position and angle of the diagonal can be varied in steps of 2 degrees.
Alternatively, color or brightness floating can be determined by the signal from a
wipe generator of mixing level ME1.
Optionally, a memory can be assigned to the matte generators, which stores wipe
or key signals, thus enabling complex color and brightness floating effects.

1.4.3 VIDEO OUTPUTS
The switcher is provided with the following video outputs:
• 4 program outputs
• 1 clean-feed output (before or between DSK, switchable)
• 1 output for second DSK preview in PP stage
• 3 program outputs for each mixing level
For preview purposes, the following outputs are available:
• 1 preview output for each mixing level, mask signal and wipe pattern signal
can be additively connected with the video signal.
• 1 preset output for preset/program stage, mask signal and wipe pattern sig-
nal can be additively connected with the video signal.
All outputs are delay-compensated. The digital horizontal and vertical blanking intervals are transparent for the background signal. For the case of routing switcher
changeovers in the vertical blanking interval, the lines 6 and 319 are faded to black.
1.4.4 FURTHER OUTPUTS
For special applications (integration of a DVE, preview of sources, measuring purposes), the switcher is provided (standard feature) with 5 (DD10) or 5 to 11
(optional for DD20 and 30) serial AUX outputs which can be optionally connected
with the following signals:

1.5 MIXING STAGES
For background designing (BGND), a mixing stage (Mix, Add, Wipe with border)
is available for each mixing level (ME).
The mix and key stages are set up in a cascaded way and are provided with tappings for coupling in and out signals for a DVE unit. Re-entry of the mixing levels
is possible.
The preset/program stage (PP) at the output of the switcher is identically designed
with regard to the mixing stage. Thus, for post-production purposes, a full mixing
level is available.
A separate channel is available for preview in the mixing levels, which is supplied
with equal input signals. Different control signals enable to preview the next contribution (AUTO PREVIEW) or to make a transition without affecting the program
signal (TRANSITION PREVIEW).
1.5.1 INPUTS/OUTPUTS
As inputs, all video inputs, the signal of a preceding or succeeding mix/key stage,
the signal of a frame store and the central mattes are available for each mixing
stage.
Additionally, a wipe border matte generator for the border of the wipe generator is
provided for each mixing stage.
As outputs, program signal and preview signal are available to the user. In the preset/program stage, a clean-feed output signal is additionally available, which can
be optionally tapped off after the preset/program stage or after the downstream
keyer.
1.5.2 AMPLITUDE MIX
Transition between two input signals (MIX) is possible by hard cut (CUT), automatic
fading (AUTO), automatic transition (EXTRA) or manually with the fader (FADE).
For transition, different fading characteristics (linear , gamma, etc.) are possible.
Transition via a black signal (BLACK PRESET) can also be performed.
For additive mixing (ADD), the output level can be more than 100% and is internally
limited.
1.5.3 PATTERN MIX (WIPE)
Pattern mix of two optional input signals is made with a control signal supplied by
the wipe generator.
Optionally, a second wipe generator (from DD10) can be inserted per mixing level
(example: WIPE in PATTERN KEY).
Additionally, the result of this manipulation can be provided with a border which can
be filled with a wipe border matte. A special signal of the wipe generator (WiperWashTM), enables color wash effects of the border being coupled with the wipe pattern.
The border can be switched into the video signal (CUT), the transparency (OPACITY) is selectable.
Switcher DD20/30 enables in conjunction with the mask store option to provide the
wipe border with a shadow.

1.5.4 DIGITAL VIDEO EFFECTS (DVE)
Pattern mix of a video signal supplied by the DVE. The DVE additionally supplies
a key signal of the transformed DVE video signal. The procedure of the DVE is
coupled with the fader (manual or automatic transition).
1.5.5 WIPE BORDER MATTE GENERATOR
Beside the central matte generators, an additional matte generator is provided for
coloring the borders of the wipe generators. Beside unicolored mattes, extremely
soft color floating effects (softness 20 - 80 %) between two optional colors or black
or white are possible in H or V direction or diagonally. Position and angle of the diagonal can be varied in steps (2°). Futhermore, color floating can be varied by a signal
from the wipe generator).
1.5.6 LAYER MODE
For post-production, the layer mode (DD20 and DD30 only) enables to change the
background mixing stage into two independent key stages. The signals of the wipe
generators or the DVE can be used as control signals.
1. General Diamond digital
14
1.6 KEY STAGES
1 or 2 key stages with border facilities are available in the individual mixing levels
for effects background designing or for caption insertion (chroma key), (lum key or
linear key). The priority can be changed (OVER).
The key stages are placed after the background mixing stage, set up in a cascaded
way and provided with taps for coupling in and out a signal for a DVE unit.
The downstream keyer (DSK) at the output of the switcher is identically designed
with regard to the key stages (2 key stages).
After the key stages, a facility is provided for fade to black (FTB). In DD5 and DD10
which do not dispose of a preset/program stage, only 1 downstream keyer is available for luminance or linear key.
For preview, a separate channel is available in the key stages, which can be connected with equal input signals but different control signals. It is possible to preview
the next contribution (AUTO PREVIEW) or to make a transition without affecting
the program signal (TRANSITION PREVIEW).
For post-production, the layer mode permits to use the keyers as layers (DD20 and
DD30 only). The layers can be interchanged.
1.6.1 INPUTS/OUTPUTS
As key and fill signals, each keyer can dispose of more than 2 buses, and the DVE
bus of all inputs, the stores for video and key signals, and the central mattes. In
addition, own matte generators for fill and border are provided for each keyer.
For the downstream keyer in switcher DD5 or DD10, a bus with all inputs and the
signal of a matte generator are available as a fill signal.
Generation of the key signal is possible for each keyer from all inputs (SELF-KEY).
As internal key sources, wipe and mask signals are available. It is also possible to
feed a key signal modified by the DVE, into the key signal path (DVE LOOP).
In the setup mode, a key signal can be assigned to each fill signal, which has to be
switched together with selection of fill (couple). This assignment can optionally be
cancelled (split) in order to select another key signal.
As outputs, key or combined key signals, the signal of the key/mask store are available to the user via the AUX outputs. For preview purposes, the mask signal can
also be additively connected with the preview signal.
1.6.2 KEY VERSIONS
Chroma key
As a standard feature, a linear chroma key with foreground desaturation and background transition is realized.
Adjustment of the key parameters can be made automatically (for blue as key color
without measuring window, for other colors with measuring window) and can be
corrected manually .
The key signal can be also inverted (KEY INVERT).
The transparency (OP ACITY) of each keyer can be adjusted separately.
1. GeneralDiamond digital
15
Luminance key/linear key
The key generator enables a luminance key. The signal can be bordered by means
of the borderliner.
It is possible to key on all luminance values (CLIP). The rise time (SOFTNESS) of
the signal can be steepened. The key signal can be inverted (KEY INVERT).
The LINEAR KEY mode allows the use of key and fill signals (on black background)
from external sources, e.g. caption generators. The rise times of the signals cannot
be varied in this case.
The key can be faded into the video signal (MIX), switched (CUT) or faded over by
means of a wipe generator (WIPE). The transparency (OPACITY) of each keyer
can be adjusted separately .
1.6.3 MASK GENERATORS
For restricting the key signal to defined picture areas, a masking generator is provided for each key generator. Furthermore, the mask signal can be used as a key
signal.
As a standard feature, a square mask is available for each keyer. Alternatively, one
of the wipe generators of the associated mixing level can be used as a mask generator.
A key/mask store is available, which offers beside storage of key or pattern signals
in conjunction with the wipe generator, a paint mode for generating optional patterns (from DD10).
The effect of the mask on the video signals can be switched over (forced foreground/background) and is invertible.
1.6.4 MATTE GENERATORS, BORDER MATTE GENERATORS
For coloring (fill) characters generated by luminance or linear key, and the
associated borders, a matte generator and a border matte generator are provided
for each keyer.
Beside unicolored mattes, the matte generator allows extremely soft color floating
effects (softness 20-80 %) between two optional colors or black or white in H or V
direction or diagonally. Position and angle of the diagonals can be varied in steps.
1. General Diamond digital
16
1.6.5 BORDERLINERS
For bordering caption signals generated by chroma luminance or linear key, a borderliner is realized for each keyer. Two borderliners at maximum for DD10.
As a standard feature, the following border types are provided:
• H, 2H border
• OUTLINE H, 2H
• DROPSHADOW H, 2H, 3H, 4H
• SLANTED SHADOW H, 2H, 3H, 4H
positionable in steps over or under the caption.
As a fill signal for the border, a border matte generator is available.
The border can be switched into the video signal (CUT), transparency (OPACITY)
is adjustable.
The key/mask store option enables switcher DD20 and DD30 to generate a freely
positionable shadow whose transparency can be adjusted.

1.7 SPECIAL EFFECTS GENERATORS
1.7.1 WIPE GENERATORS
As a standard feature, a wipe generator is available in each mixing level (preset/
program stage as an option), which can be freely assigned to background transition
(BGND) and/or to one or both keyers.
The wipe generator supplies the signal for transition (PATTERN) and a border signal (BORDER). As additional application, the signal of the wipe generator can
serve as a key source (PATTERN KEY) or can be used for modulating the floating
of a matte of a central matte generator.
Optionally, each mixing level can be extended by a second wipe generator freely
assignable to the keyers.
The wipe pattern can be switched (WIPE) into the video signal, the pattern size is
adjusted with the fader or by automatic transition (AUTO). The transparency of t h e
signal can be adjusted.
The border can be switched into the video signal (CUT), the transparency is adjustable.
In addition, the wipe generator generates a signal which can control color floating
in the border.
As wipes, the following patterns are available:
• Rolling wipes (horizontal, vertical cut)
• Geometric patterns (square, circle)
• Rotary wipes
• Fan/wiper effects (fan blade, clock wipes)
• Combination transitions (square + clock)
• Matrix wipes (mosaic)
• Matrix combination transitions (corner cut + mosaic)
For the basic functions, a series of possible variations is available, such as alteration of the aspect ratio (RATIO), rotation of the wipe (ROTATION) and multiplication of the wipe (MULTI).
The wipe edges can be varied via an adjustable softness and additionally be modulated with defined functions (e.g. sine) in H and V direction.
A wipe pattern positioning at any place by means of a trackball or a mouse is possible if appropriate patterns are available.
1.7.2 FRAME STORE
As an option (from DD20), the switcher can be extended by a frame store which can
process video and key signals separately. For storage, all those signals are available which can also be selected at the AUX outputs. The outputs of the frame store
are available as primary inputs.
The following manipulations are possible in the frame store:
• Variation of the position H and/or V
• NAM
• ADD
