DVS-7200 • Product Guide
You can also generate a dedicated key source for up to two cameras, providing a
constant and convenient matte source as required.
Although the feature list is impressive, it's the visual results that make the
difference. Whether you're keying transparent glass or working with an unevenly
lit background, the DVS-7200's FineChroma technology delivers clear edges and a
remarkable degree of visual realism on screen.
Dual Matte Generators with Color Mix Capability
Switchers stopped being just switchers (in the precise definition of the word) many
years ago. They've evolved into a combination switching device and artist's
palette, with the ability to mix sources, colors, and patterns as required to bring a
storyboard or a production to life.
To this creative end, the DVS-7200 has provision for up to eight internal dual color
matte generators — for Key-1 edge and Key-2 edge (for each M/E plus DSK), in
addition to Wipe border and Color background (for each M/E). Each of these matte
generators has color mix and wash capability, its own dedicated pattern generator,
and extensive pattern modifiers. Rembrandt would be jealous.
Frame Memory
The highly versatile Frame Memory function provides storage and playback for two
individual frames, divided as needed between video only, or video and key signals.
A dedicated internal routing system is provided for each frame, independent of Aux
bus operation.
Frame memories can be used for the following creative applications:
•
Grabbing fields or frames.
•
Layering.
•
Creating custom masks.
•
Storing matte and fill signals.
•
Painting from a user-supplied graphics tablet.
•
Re-positioning live or frozen images as a snapshot or animated as a
keyframe effect. A mask can also be applied a live image using an
internal dedicated wipe generator.
•
Storing and manipulating frozen z-axis images (in conjunction with a
DME's Depth Key processing).
•
Keying and mixing between frames, filling with video from an
internal auxiliary bus or matte generator, then routing the results to
any desired internal or external switcher destination.
In much the same way that audio boards allow you to create sub-mixes upstream of
the main mix, Frame Memories provide video sub-mix functions upstream of the
buses, with the resulting capability — and creativity.
