Integrated DME Control
Console space is definitely at a premium in modern control rooms. With each new
device taking up space, it seems that there's barely enough room for the director's
script, let alone a DME control panel. The DVS-7200 reverses this trend with the
addition of two optional switcher panels: the BKDS-7030 Key Frame Control Panel
and the BKDS-7031 DME Control Panel.
These switcher "insert" panels completely replace the DME's own control panel.
Together, they eliminate unnecessary console footprints, and provide an economical
and highly convenient method of effects creation and control. In addition, the
switcher's floppy drive can store DME setups, snapshots, and effects files — as well
as switcher data. (Tell the director there's finally enough room for the script!)
In addition to Sony DME products, a wide variety of digital effects devices from
other manufacturers such as Scitex DV (Abekas) and Tektronix-GVG can be
controlled directly from the DVS-7200 control panel. This interface utilizes a
widely adopted industry standard protocol (Grass Valley Peripheral II), and requires
the BKDS-7001 control port expansion for the switcher's control panel.
Key Modifiers
A keyer that simply keys isn't good enough! When the client says "show me what
you can do with this key," the technical director needs a creative toolbox from
which to offer as many visual options as possible — far beyond basic borders and
shadows.
To address this requirement, the DVS-7200 provides extensive key modifiers:
•
Each keyer can access the M/E's wipe pattern generator, and a
separate internal pattern generator for mask.
•
Each keyer has an optional dual matte generator for border fill. This
dual matte generator in turn has its own pattern generator.
•
With the optional Key Border Generator installed, Border, Drop
Border, Soft Edge, Shadow and Drop Shadow capabilities are added to
the effect keyer. The option also provides continuous color, position,
width, density and softness adjustments. The key border can be filled
with the dual matte generator, or a live video source from the
integrated M/E bank utility bus.
•
Powerful "copy" functions allow you to transfer settings between
keyers and matte generators with ease.
Now, with the DVS-7200, when the client says "nice, but let's see something else,"
the operator will never run out of creative ideas.
Advanced Chroma Keyer — FineChroma
Sony's FineChroma technology, available with the optional BKDS-2031 and
BKDS-2032 boards together, provides an advanced level of chroma key processing
typically found in external chroma key devices only.
Each M/E can be equipped with a chroma keyer that delivers full 4:4:4:4 video and
key processing, auto and manual modes, color cancellation, spot color correction,
shadow and density control, plus a dual clip and gain feature that allows two
separate clips in a single image.
