Basics of Video

Switching

Chapter

This chapter begins by explaining how to switch background signals on the M/

E bank (how to perform transitions). Then it explains basic background video

switching on the PGM/PST bank when a 1.5 M/E panel or 1.5 M/E wide panel

is used.

The examples in this chapter assume that the following signals are currently

selectable with the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th cross-point buttons from the left.

Signal selectable with the 2nd button from the left: Landscape

video signal

Signal selectable with the 3rd button from the left: Lion video signal

Signal selectable with the 4th button from the left: Castle video

signal

Basic Operations (1): Video Switching on the M/E

Bank

Let’s begin by using the M/E bank to select video signals showing a landscape

and a lion as background video, and to switch between them with an effect.

As the effect, we will use effect number 0024 (circular wipe). A wipe is an effect

which the current video is wiped away by new video using a selected pattern.

The video changes as follows.

Transition start

Transition end

Preparations for operation

• If you are using the 1.5 M/E panel or 1.5 M/E wide panel, press and light the

[M/E] buttons at the right edge of the PGM and PST button rows of the PGM/

PST cross-point control block.

• Before starting, move the fader lever from one end of its range to the other,

and stop it at the top position.

After finishing the above preparations, proceed as follows.

Basic Operations (1): Video Switching on the M/E Bank

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

In the background A row of the M/E cross-point control block, select the A

bus video.

For this example, press the 2nd button from the left to select the landscape

video signal.

The landscape video appears on the video monitor connected to the

processor’s program output (final output) connector. The pressed button

lights in red to indicate that the signal assigned to the button is being output

to the program video.

In the background B row, select the B bus video.

For this example, press the 3rd button from the left to select the lion video

signal.

The pressed button lights in amber to indicate that the signal assigned to the

button has only been selected. It is not yet being output to the program

video.

In the M/E transition control block, press the [BKGD] next transition

selection button, lighting it. (Skip this step if the button is already lit.)

The background video is selected as the target of the transition.

In the M/E transition control block, press the [EFF] transition type selection

button, lighting it. (Skip this step if the button is already lit.)

An effect is selected as the transition type.

Select the effect pattern (number 0024).

There are three ways to select effect patterns. In this example, we will use

the Flexi Pad control block.

1) Press the [M/E] button in the Flexi Pad control block, lighting it.

2) Press the [EFF/WIPE] button in the Flexi Pad control block, lighting it.

3) Press the [PTN NO.] button, lighting it in green.

4) With the numeric buttons, enter the digits 2,4, in that order.

The number that you entered appears in the numeric display.

5) Press the [ENTR] button.

Pattern number 0024 is selected.

Slowly move the fader lever down from the top position.

A wipe transition using pattern number 0024 begins. A circle showing part

of the video of the B bus (the lion) appears at the center of the A bus video

(the landscape). The circle gradually grows larger, increasing the area

occupied by the B bus video. While this is happening, the transition

indicator LEDs to the left of the fader lever begin to light, starting from the

top. The number of lit LEDs increases as the transition progresses.

At this point, notice how the buttons in the background A row and the

background B row are lit. The button in the A row remains lit in red, but the

color of the lit button in the B row has changed from amber to red. This

indicates that both of the video signals selected by the buttons are being

output to the program video.

Stop the fader lever at the bottom position.

The landscape video vanishes from the screen, leaving only the lion video.

This completes the wipe transition.

Basic Operations (1): Video Switching on the M/E Bank

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Now, notice again how the buttons in the background A and B rows are lit.

With the transition complete, the 3rd button from the left in the A row is lit

in red, and the 2nd button from the left in the B row is lit in amber. This

means that the signal selections in the A and B rows have been exchanged.

In other words, the lion video is now selected in the A row, and the

landscape video is selected in the B row.

In this state, try moving the fader lever from the bottom to the top. The

transition takes place in the same direction as last time (from A bus video to

B bus video), but this time the lion is replaced by the landscape.

About auto transitions

An auto transition is executed if, in step 6, you press the [AUTO TRANS]

button in the transition execution control block instead of moving the fader

lever.

The time from the start to the end of the transition is called the “transition rate”

(unit: frames). The transition rate can be freely set in the range from 0 to 999

frames.

See “Setting Transition Rates” (page 69) for more information about how to

specify transition rates.

About cut transitions

A cut transition is executed if, in step 6, you press the [CUT] button in the

transition execution control block instead of moving the fader lever. In this case,

the transition type selected in step 4 (effect) and the effect pattern selected in

step 5 (0024) are ignored.

Basic Operations (2): Video Switching on the PGM/

PST Bank — For 1.5 M/E Systems

If you are using a 1.5 M/E panel or a 1.5 M/E wide panel, you can create the

program video (final output video) on the PGM/PST bank. You can select

background video and execute transitions with the same operations as the ones

used on the M/E bank. You can also take video created on the M/E bank and use

it as background video.

This section shows how to take the output of the M/E bank (for example, the lion

video selected with the 3rd cross-point button from the left) and use it as

background video. To replace it, we will use the castle video selected with the

4th cross-point button from the left. As the wipe pattern, we will use pattern

number 0001, in which the new video gradually moves in from the left side of

the screen.

Transition start

Transition end

Preparations for operation

Before starting, move the fader lever in the PGM/PST transition control block

from one end of its range to the other, and stop it at the top position.

After finishing the above preparations, proceed as follows.

lion) is selected as the PGM bus video. At this stage, the 3rd button from the

left in the background A row on the M/E cross-point control block also

lights in red.

In the PST row, press the 4th button from the left.

The button lights in amber, and the castle video is selected as PST bus video.

In the PGM/PST transition control block, press the [WIPE] transition type

selection button, lighting it.

Select pattern number 0001.

When you use the Flexi Pad control block, procced as follows.

1) Press the [PP/ALL] button, lighting it.

2) Press the [EFF/WIPE] button, lighting it.

3) Press the [PTN NO.] button, lighting it in green.

4) With the numeric buttons, enter the digit 1.

The number that you entered appears in the numeric display.

5) Press the [ENTR] button.

Pattern number 0001 is selected.

In the PGM/PST transition control block, slowly move the fader lever

down. Or, press the [AUTO TRANS] button.

The wipe transition starts. On the program monitor screen, the video of the

castle gradually moves in from the left of the video of the lion. When the

transition completes, the lion video is gone and the castle video occupies the

entire screen.

At this stage, the colors of the lit cross-point buttons are as follows.

• 4th button from the left in the PGM row (selecting the castle video

signal): Red

• [M/E] button at the right edge of the PST row (selecting the M/E output

signal): Amber

• 3rd button from the left in the background A row on the M/E cross-point

control block: Amber

About effect pattern numbers

The effects available on this system can be selected with 4-digit effect pattern

numbers. These numbers can generally be classified as shown below. In general

this manual calls all effects simply as “effects,” but when it refers to effects used

on the PGM/PST bank, it calls them as “wipes.”

Transition effects and non-transition effects

Effects numbered 1001 and higher fall into the following two types, depending

on what occurs when the effect is executed.

Transition effects (slides, page turn, etc.): A bus and B bus cross-points are

switched by executing a transition. Also, when border, cropping, or other

modifications have been added, they disappear as soon as the transition

ends.

1) Modifications listed in “Effect Pattern Transformations and Modifications” in the Appendix

(separate document).

Note

When you add a shadow or trail to an effect applied to a key and then execute

the transition, the shadow or trail disappears instantly as soon as the

transition ends.

Non-transition effects (picture-in-picture, etc.): A bus and B bus cross-points

are not switched, even after the effect ends. Also, when border, cropping, or

other modifications have been added, they do not disappear, even after the

transition ends.

1) Modifications listed in “Effect Pattern Transformations and Modifications” in the Appendix

(separate document).

Selecting Channels

Note

When modifications (Position, Aspect, and so on) have been applied to effects,

the video may not switch smoothly, and afterimages may remain visible even

after transitions have finished executing.

To switch the video instantly ([CUT] button)

Press the [CUT] button in the transition execution section.

The video switches between the A bus and the B bus with each press of the

button.

To execute a transition at a specified transition rate ([AUTO TRANS] button)

Press the [AUTO TRANS] button in the transition execution section.

The progress of the transition is shown by the transition indicator LEDs, which

light one after the other as the transition proceeds.

To execute a transition with the fader lever

Move the transition lever from one side to the other at any speed. Once you do

this, you can control the transition manually.

The transition indicator LEDs light one after the other as you move the lever to

execute the transition.

About fader lever non-sync

If an auto transition finishes with the fader lever in an intermediate position, the

lever position does not match the current transition position. This state is called

“non-sync.”

Two of the transition indicator LEDs light to indicate a non-sync state, either at

the top of the lever range, at the bottom of the range, or at both sides.

Executing Transitions

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

• Moving the lever toward the side where LEDs are lit does not execute a

transition. However, the non-sync state is released when the lever reaches the

edge of its range, enabling you to execute a transition with the next operation.

• Moving the lever toward the side where LEDs are not lit executes a transition

across the remaining lever range.

An auto transition is possible even if the fader lever is in a non-sync state. When

you press the [AUTO TRANS] button, the transition indicator LEDs light as

always to show the progress of the transition. But when the transition finishes,

two of the LEDs light to indicate the non-sync state.

Composing Video With Keys

A key is an effect in which color and shape information is used to cut out part

of the background video and replace it with another color or other video. The

signal determining how the background is cut out is termed the “key source,”

and the signal that replaces the cut-out part is termed the “key fill.”

This system supports the following types of keys.

Luminance key/linear key: Used to insert titles and logos into the video. The

key source often shows black and white text, which is detected by using the

luminance (Y) signal.

Chroma key: Used to compose scenes with two different components, for

example people and a background. A key signal based on a particular color

is used to cut out the background.

Pattern key: Video is composed using various patterns. A special pattern is

used as the key source.

M/E Keys and Downstream Keys

Two keys each are available on the M/E bank and the PGM/PST bank. The M/

E bank keys are called key 1 and key 2, and the PGM/PST bank keys are called

downstream key 1 and downstream key 2.

The downstream keys are also abbreviated as DSK1 and DSK2.

Processing Key Signals

To turn key clean mode on

Clean mode

In a luminance key or linear key, you can enable the clean

mode. When the clean mode is on, the key source does not

affect the key fill, which is added unchanged to the

background. This improves the keyed image quality, but

means that the part of the key fill signal which is not to be

inserted must be completely black, or it will color the

background.

This mode is effective when using character generators,

which generate paired key source and key fill signals.

Reference level 0.00 to 100.00

Chroma keying generates a key signal based on a

particular color (reference color) in the foreground

(typically a plain blue background). The “window” refers

to the range of colors which are regarded as matching this

specified reference color to create the key signal.

As seen on a vectorscope, the range for this matching

corresponds to a truncated sector (see the following

figure). This range is specified by two parameters: the

“Angle” parameter, which determines the range of the hue

parameter, and the “Crop” parameter, which determines

the degree of truncation.

This function provides a more realistic treatment when the

To adjust video signals

a) See above figure.

You can vary the gain and hue of chroma key foreground

video. Gain can be adjusted for the overall video signal, or

individually for Y and C.

To adjust the Y balance

In normal chroma keying, the key signal is based on the

chrominance component only, and all elements of the

foreground with the same hue are replaced by the

background. Using the Y balance function, you can specify

a luminance level range within which the key is active, and

replace the specified part by the background.

In the Key >M/E Key1 >Chroma Key menu, press

[Frgd V Proc], turning it on.

Adjust the following parameters with the knobs.

You can use the Y balance function independently on the

key signal for the composition and the key signal for the

color cancel function. When applied to the key signal for

the composition, this produces the foreground with the

color cancel effect applied. This can therefore be used to

provide an impression of smoke, for example.

Frame memory is a function whereby a frame of input

video can be frozen and written to memory, for further use

as material for editing.

To return YUV clip parameters to their default

settings

Press [Unity].

Overview

Frame memory capacity

The number of frames which can be saved in frame

memory varies as shown below, depending on the signal

format used by the switcher system.

System

Signal format Frame memory capacity

HD system 720p

1080i

88 frames

58 frames

1080PsF

SD system 480i

576i

444 frames

Hardware and software requirements for

using frame memory

To use frame memory, the switcher system requires the

following options.

• MKS-2440 Frame Memory Board Set

• BZS-2440M Frame Memory Upgrade Software

However, the BZS-2440M software is not required when

the signal format is 480i or 576i.

Flow of Frame Memory Operations

The flow of frame memory operations is as follows.

Assign frame memory output to a cross-point.

Select the input signal (video before freeze, etc.). (See

page 120.)

Freeze the video at the desired point and save an image file

in frame memory. (See page 120.)

• Recall a desired freeze image from an image file saved

in memory. (See page 122.)

• Rename (see page 122) or delete (see page 123) an

image file saved in memory.

Select the desired signal in the cross-point button rows

of the auxiliary bus control block.

Preparations

The selected signal is input to frame memory.

Assigning frame memory output to cross-

point buttons

Frame memory images (freeze images, etc.) can be

assigned to either the video or key channels of frame

memory 1 to 3.

Freezing Images and Saving Them

to Memory

The following three types of output destinations are

available (six channels).

• FM 1 Video and FM 1 Key

From the top menu, select Frame Memory> Freeze.

The Freeze menu appears.

• FM 2 Video and FM 2 Key

• FM 3 Video and FM 3 Key

Output of selected frame memory

Before using frame memory images, you need to assign

one or more of the six channels listed above to cross-point

buttons.

Key thumbnail

Video thumbnail

You can assign channels in pairs. For example, if you

assign FM 1 Video and FM 1 Key as a pair, you can select

both the video and the key with the same cross-point

button.

For details about assignment operations, refer to

“Assigning Signals to Cross-Point Buttons (Operation

Menu)” (page 156).

Selecting Input Signals for Frame

Memory

Select the signal (video, etc.) to be processed with frame

memory.

There are two buses for selecting input video signals.

Frame memory video bus: Allows the frame memory

video input signal to be selected.

To change the frame memory output destination (FM1

in the above figure), press [FM Output].

For details, see “To select frame memory output”

(page 121).

Frame memory key bus: Allows the frame memory key

input signal to be selected.

To operate on video and key as a pair, press [Pair],

turning it on.

In the auxiliary bus control block of the control panel,

press the AUX delegation button [FRAME MEM],

turning it on.

When [Pair] is turned off in step 3, press one of the

output buttons (in the above figure, [FM1V] or

[FM1K]) to select the target.

Switch the [SRC BUS] button in the auxiliary bus

control block as follows.

The selected button turns light blue.

• To select the video input signal, turn the [SRC BUS]

button off.

The auxiliary bus switches to the frame memory

video bus. In this case, the key assigned as a pair to

the selected video is automatically selected on the

frame memory key bus.

• To select the key input signal, turn the [SRC BUS]

button on.

The auxiliary bus switches to the frame memory key

bus. In this case, you can select the key

independently of the video.

Press [Freeze] to display “Enable.”

A freeze frame can now be captured.

If required, apply a mask to the selected signal. (See

“To apply a box-shaped mask to a freeze image”

(page 121).)

At the point you want to freeze, press one of the

following.

Frame Frz: Freeze an image frame.

Field Frz: Freeze an image field.

Saving files with [Pair] on/off

When saving with [Pair] turned off, a file is created for

either the video or key. (Referred to below as an “Single

file.”)

When [Pair] is turned on, both video and key files are

created with the same name. (Referred to below as “Pair

files.”)

This freezes the input image.

In this state, no freeze image has yet been saved. You

can repeat this operation any number of times, until the

desired freeze image is obtained.

To apply a box-shaped mask to a freeze image

When you have obtained the freeze image you want,

press [Store] in the Freeze menu, and confirm the

name in the keyboard window.

To link the video and key with a mask, press [Mask

Link] in the Freeze menu, turning it on.

For details of the saved file names, see the next item,

“File names.”

When [Mask Link] is turned off in step 1, press one of

the output buttons ([FM1V] or [FM1K] in the example

display of the Freeze menu on page 120), to select it.

If, before saving the freeze image, you press [FM

Output] to switch the frame memory, the freeze image

is saved automatically in freeze memory. (Automatic

save)

The selected button turns light blue.

Note

Even when [Pair] is on, if [Mask Link] is off, you can

apply different masks to the video and key. In this

case, press the output button to select it for the

operation.

The freeze image is saved in memory, and a thumbnail

for the video and/or key appears.

The “Remain” count under [Store], showing the

number of images that can be saved, decreases by one

(or by two if [Pair] is turned on in step 3).

What Are Macros?

The term “macro” refers to the function whereby a

sequence of signal selections and other operations on the

control panel is saved as data in memory, so that it can be

recalled as required to automatically execute the same

sequence of operations.

d) Not found on 1.5 M/E panel.

Macro operations use the Flexi Pad control block.

Pause event

To adjust the execution timing of a particular event (to

delay the start of execution of the event by a particular time

interval), you can store a special event which pauses macro

execution. This event is called a “pause event.” When you

store a pause event, you can set the interval for which the

macro is paused (the pause duration) to any value in the

range 1 to 999 frames. When the set time has elapsed, the

macro is automatically executed.

The individual control panel operations constituting a

macro are termed “events.” One macro can contain a

maximum of 99 events.

To include all information associated with an

operation when registering a macro event

When registering an auto transition operation as an event,

you can register the auto transition event to include the

transition rate and background A/B bus selection status.

To use this capability, assign the following functions to

buttons in the utility control block, and turn the relevant

button on before you start an event to register.

Note

When you start macro creation or editing with the macro

execution mode set to “Normal” (see page 175), the auto

insert mode is automatically on. When “Step” is selected

as the macro execution mode, the auto insert mode is

automatically off.

Macro AT with Rate (Macro Auto Trans Event with/

without Rate): When registering an auto transition

macro event, include the transition rate.

Macro AT with A/B Bus (Macro Auto Trans Event

with/without A/B Bus): When registering an auto

transition macro event in the transition control block,

include the background A/B bus cross-point.

sequence, a pause event must be inserted to adjust the

timing.

• VTR/disk recorder/Extended VTR cue up

For a macro to cue up a VTR and then play back, for

example, a pause event must be inserted between the cue
