Description This is a 1 ME digital video switcher which supports a multiple number of HD and SD formats. It consists of a mainframe and control panel. Despite its compact dimensions of 2RU, the mainframe comes with 16 inputs and four outputs for SDI under the standard specifications. It also supports two DVI outputs, and its video effects of one key line, two DSK lines, two PinP lines, two DVE (BKGD) lines, one DVE (key) line and two multi view lines enable video productions in a wide variety of forms. Incorporated in the switchers inputs are a frame synchronizer, up-converter and color corrector. When the option boards are installed, a wider variety of input/output formats including analog composite, analog component and DVI can be accommodated so that systems can be constructed flexibly.

Features Compact design, wide variety of input/output signals

The mainframe, despite its compact dimensions of 2RU, comes with a wide variety of input/output facilities in the standard configuration. As input facilities, a total of 16 HD/SD-SDI signal lines are supported under the standard specifications, and a frame synchronizer is incorporated for all the inputs. Also incorporated are four up-converter signal lines and eight color corrector signal lines. The output facilities include four HD/SD-SDI signal lines and two DVI-D signal lines under the standard specifications. Two option slots each for input/output applications are provided. When two option boards for input applications are installed, the maximum number of input signal lines can be expanded to 20; similarly, when two option boards for output applications are installed, the maximum number of output signal lines can be increased to 10.

Multiple formats supported The signal formats supported include HD formats (1080/59.94i, 1080/50i, 1080/24PsF 1, 1080/23.98PsF 1, 720/59.94p and 720/50p), SD formats (480/59.94i and 576/50i) and DVI 2.

1: The following option boards are not supported: AV-HS04M1, AV-HS04M2, AV-HS04M3, AV-HS04M4, AV-HS04M5, AV-HS04M6, AV-HS04M7

2: The standard DVI output is the DVI-D signal output. The AV-HS04M3 option board supports DVI-I signal input, the AV-HS04M8 option board supports DVI-D signal input, and the AV-HS04M5 supports DVI-I signal output.

Multi view display function Two multi view display function lines are provided under the standard specifications. It is possible to divide up to 20 lines of video including program video (PGM), preview video (PVW) and input video signals between two screens and display them at the same time on two monitors.

Frame synchronizer system and external synchronization system supported A high-performance 10-bit frame synchronizer is incorporated for all the inputs so that asynchronous video signals can be input. By using the black burst (BB) output, it is possible to construct a system referenced to the synchronization of the switcher. A genlock function is provided so that external synchronization systems using external sync signals (BB or TRI signals) as a reference are also supported.

8

Features Many different effect functions incorporated

Along with the standard wipe, mix and cut functions, the switcher can provide size reduction, slide and other DVE transitions. DVE transitions using the 2-screen push-out effect and other 2-channel functions are possible. The unit comes with luminance keys and chroma keys provided as keyers as well as specialized hardware in the form of two DSK lines and two PinP lines as a standard option. AUX1 is equipped with a mix transition function. This enables MIX transitions with the material selected next, allowing for a flexible system construction.

High-quality chroma keys using Primatte algorithms The Primatte algorithm, which has proven to be very popular in many non-linear editors as a plug-in software, has been put to practical use in a linear editing system for the chroma keys. High chroma key image quality can be achieved through some simple operations.

Primatte is a registered trademark of IMAGICA DIGIX Inc. The copyrights of Primatte belong to IMAGICA DIGIX Inc. The patents for Primatte belong to IMAGICA DIGIX Inc.

SDHC memory cards supported Still image data (BMP, JPEG) can be imported from SDHC memory cards into the units frame memories for use as background images or key materials. In addition, the images and setting data in the units frame memories can be stored on the SDHC memory cards.

Furthermore, when one of the crosspoint buttons is held down, the name of the input material and number of the button corresponding to the pressed button are displayed on the LCD.

3-1-2. Selecting the bus using the SHIFT function The SHIFT function enables two materials to be allocated the front material and the rear material to one button, and the materials to be selected using the [SHIFT] button. A total of 32 materials front materials (1 to 16) and rear materials (17 to 32) can be allocated to the three groups of 16 crosspoint buttons whether these buttons are the PGM/A bus crosspoint buttons, PST/B bus crosspoint buttons or AUX bus crosspoint buttons.

There are actually two SHIFT functions: All SHIFT for switching all the front materials to the rear materials or vice versa, and Single SHIFT for switching the front material of one crosspoint button with its rear material or vice versa. All SHIFT works once the SHIFT function has been allocated to one of the USER buttons. Single SHIFT works once the SHIFT function has been allocated to the No.16 or No.1 crosspoint button of the crosspoint button group concerned by a menu operation.

34

3. Basic operations

All SHIFT

All SHIFT is used to switch all the materials of the PGM/A bus crosspoint buttons, PST/B bus crosspoint buttons or AUX bus crosspoint buttons from front materials to rear materials or vice versa. The USER button to which the SHIFT function has been allocated is used to switch between the front materials and rear materials.

Allocate the SHIFT function to one of the USER buttons. For the method used to allocate this function to the USER button, refer to 5-3-1. Setting the user buttons.

Each time the [SHIFT] (USER) button is pressed, the front materials are switched to the rear materials or vice versa.

When the rear materials (17 to 32) have been selected, the [SHIFT] (USER) button lights in amber. When the button is pressed again, it goes off, and the front materials (1 to 16) are now selected.

Single SHIFT

Single SHIFT is used to switch the material of a PGM/A bus crosspoint button, PST/B bus crosspoint button or AUX bus crosspoint button from a front material to a rear material or vice versa. Switching between the front material and rear material is done using the crosspoint button (No.16 or No.1) in which the SHIFT function is allocated.

Allocating the SHIFT function Press the [XPT] button to light its indicator, and

display the XPT menu. Refer to 2-1-5. LCD menu area.

Lum (luminance key/self key): This is for creating the key signals from the luminance component or luminance and chroma

component of the key fill signal. Linear (linear key/EXT key): This is for creating the key signals from the luminance component of the key source signal. It is used when the key source signal and key fill signal are different. Chroma (chroma key/self key): This is for creating the key signals using a specific hue of the key fill signal as the reference. Full (full key/self key): This is for creating the key signals using the images on the full screen as the key source signals. PinP combinations are possible in conjunction with the flying key. See 3-4-9. Flying key.

Since the luminance and chroma keys are operated as self keys, the key fill signals are used as the key source signals. For the full key, the images on the full screen are used as the key source signals. When the luminance key, chroma key or full key has been selected as the key type, the key signals will remain unchanged even when the key source signals are switched.

When using the linear key, use material with a black background and white characters or shape to be combined by the key as the key source signal. Material which is not black and white may not be combined clearly. Material with a white background and black characters, etc. can be reversed using the key invert function for use.

When the luminance key has been selected, the chroma component can be included in the generation of the key signals in view of the self key application. (This does not apply to the linear key.) Turn [F3], and select the setting using the LumKey item.

ChrmOn: In addition to the luminance component, the chroma component is also taken into account in the generation of the key signals.

This is the setting for using a color with a low luminance component for the key signals (such as when defining blue characters).

ChrmOff: The key signals are generated from only the luminance component.

Turn [F4] to select the fill type using the Fill item.

Bus: The bus signal is used for the key fill signal. Matte: The internal fill matte is used for the key fill signal.

[Detail] [Detail+] In these modes, the noise in the background image can be removed step by step. This is a useful way of adjusting images lost by other sampling operations to adjust the texture or transparency of images.

[] Detail [+]

[MatSpng] In this mode, the semi-transparent parts of the subject in a foreground image are selected and made matte (non-transparent). Unlike [Cln.FG] on the Sample1 sub menu, the color information is not changed in the process. With [Cln.FG], the colors of the selected parts are restored to their original colors but, with [MatSpng], only the semi-transparent keys are made matte (non-transparent) while the colors remain unchanged and the original colors are not restored.

[MkFGTrn] In this mode, the transparency of areas with a low transparency in the foreground image is increased. This is useful when, for instance, areas covered with dark smoke or clouds in a foreground image are to be made semi-transparent.

[RstrDtl] In this mode, the transparency of areas with a high transparency in the background image is reduced. This is useful when, for instance, restoring the details of an image (such as an image with a subject who has loose hair or an image with smoke), which have been lost as a result of a [ClnBG] or other such operation on the Sample1 sub menu, to what they were in the original image.

Lum ChrmOn Matte On

Turn [F2] to select the Type item.

Lum (luminance key/self key):

This is for creating the key signals from the luminance component of the key fill signal.

Linear (linear key/EXT key):

This is for creating the key signals from the luminance component of the key source signal. It is used when the key source signal and key fill signal are different.

Since the luminance key is operated as a self key, the key fill signals are used as the key source signals. When the luminance key has been selected as the downstream key type, the key signals will remain unchanged even when the key source signals are switched.

When using the linear key, use material with a black background and white characters or shape to be combined by the key as the key source signal. Material which is not black and white may not be combined clearly. Material with a white background and black characters, etc. can be reversed using the key invert function for use.

When the luminance key has been selected, the chroma components can be contained in the key signals generated in view of the fact that it is used as a self key. (This is not applied to the linear key.)Turn [F3] to select the setting using the LumKey item.

ChrmOn: In addition to the luminance components, the chroma components are also factored in when generating the key signals. Use this setting if colors with low luminance components are used for the key signals (when, for instance, blue characters are to be removed).

ChrmOff: The key signals are generated only from the luminance components.

Turn [F4] to select the fill type using the Fill item.

Bus: The bus signal is used for the key fill signal. Matte: The internal fill matte is used for the key fill signal.

3-11. Frame memories Still images can be stored in the units four internal frame memories for use. The still images are transferred to the frame memories through the AUX bus and an SD memory card. Conversely, the images in the frame memories can be transferred to an SD memory card. Images in the frame memories can be used as bus images by assigning FMEM1 to FMEM4 using the crosspoint assignment function. Data for images stored in the frame memory can be retained even when the power is turned off, by saving them in the flash memory area built into the mainframe.

3. Basic operations

3-12. SD memory cards The units frame memory data and system data can be stored on SD memory cards. Conversely, this data can be loaded from the SD memory cards to the unit.

Frame memory data (still image data): The unit supports 24-bit (uncompressed) BMP (bitmap) and JPEG (baseline) is the only file formats.

JPEG format files can be loaded, but they become BMP format files when they are stored from the unit to the SD memory card.

This unit cannot resize the images so resize them appropriately using another device such as a personal computer before saving them on the SD memory card. HD/1080i: 19201080, HD/1080psf: 19201080, HD/720p: 1280720, SD/NTSC: 720487, SD/PAL: 720576

BMP files: If the sizes are different, the center of the images will be lined up. If the image is large, it will be cropped. If the image is small, the area around it will be filled in with a black border. JPEG files: Images in the sizes listed in Applicable sizes above can be loaded.

The pixels of images in SD format are not square, so the aspect ratio will be different when the images are displayed on the computer and when they are imported into frame memory (with NTSC format, they will be vertically long). To keep the images true to their actual proportions, make sure the original size is 720540 pixels. If the images are in NTSC format, use images shrunk to 720487 pixels. If the images are in PAL format, use images enlarged to 720576 pixels.

System data: The system data refers to all the data stored in the unit with the exception of the date, time and network settings and of the still image data. The extension used for the system data files is h45.

SD memory card handling precautions Do NOT eject the SD memory card while the SD memory card access LED is lighted. When an SD memory card is ejected while the SD memory card access LED is lighted, the transition of the

operation from data access to card ejection may be temporarily suspended. In addition, the data stored on the SD memory card may be lost. The data stored on SD memory cards may be lost as a result of misplacing the cards or performing erroneous

operations, for instance. It is recommended that valuable data be stored on a personal computer or other device.
