DME functionality. Powerful external device interfaces By connecting to a Sony routing switcher or similar, a large system can be built. From the control panel, it is also possible to operate other equipment, including VTRs and disk recorders.
Page 29 Powerful frame memory functions The frame memory can hold approximately 1000 frames in an HDTV system (approximately 2000 frames in 720P/59.94 format), or approximately 5000 frames in an SDTV system in 480i/59.94 format, or approximately 4000 frames in 576i/50 format, and allows eight frames (four frames in 1080P format) to be recalled simultaneously.
Page 30: Basic Video Processing
Basic Video Processing This section introduces basic functions used for video processing on the switcher. Transitions In the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank, the switch from the current video stream (appearing on the corresponding program monitor) to a new video stream is referred to as a transition.
Page 31 Inserting and deleting a key You can insert one or more of the eight keys (downstream keys on the PGM/ PST bank). If you select a key which is already inserted, the transition will delete the key. A simultaneous combination of deleting and inserting keys is also possible. Key 1 Insert Delete...
Page 32 Simultaneously changing the background and keys You can change any of the eight keys (downstream keys on the PGM/PST bank) and the background at the same time. Key 1 Transition Key 2 Changing the background and key 2 simultaneously Key 1 Transition Key 2 Key 4...
Page 33 There are two modes for carrying out a transition: auto transitions are carried out by a button operation, and manual transitions are carried out using the fader lever. It is also possible to combine these two modes. Independent Key Transitions In addition to common transitions, it is possible to carry out independent transitions on the keyers of the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank.
Page 34: Keys
Effect of use with an independent key transition The key is inserted with an independent key transition as the background changes with a common transition, providing the following result. Different wipe patterns are applied to Independent key Transition type: the background and key transitions. transition type: wipe wipe...
Page 35: Wipes
Masks A mask allows a part of the image to be replaced by the background or a key. To prevent unwanted holes in the background, or if a key is not the desired shape, you can correct this with a mask. Resizer This function allows you to apply effects, similar to a DME, such as zoom, movement, or aspect ratio change to a part of a created key.
Page 36: Dme Wipes
DME Wipes A DME wipe is a wipe transition that uses a DME effect to change from one video image to the next. There are two types of DME wipe: those which can be selected for a normal transition, and those which can be selected for an independent key transition. The patterns that can be used for a DME wipe are as follows.
Page 37: Copy And Swap
Copy and Swap This function can be used to copy and swap the settings among the M/E-1 to M/E-3, and PGM/PST banks or between keyers. The following settings can be copied or swapped. • Overall settings for the M/E and PGM/PST banks •...
Page 38: Side Flags
Side Flags The term “side flags” refers to the areas to left and right of an image with aspect ratio 4:3 embedded within a 16:9 frame, when these areas are filled with a separate image selected from the utility 1 bus. Image to fill the side flag Input source with aspect ratio areas (selected from utility 1...

Page 40: Creation Of Special Effects And Management Of Data And Operations
Creation of Special Effects and Management of Data and Operations This section introduces functions used for creation of special effects, control of external devices or switcher operations, and data management. Digital Multi Effects (DME) When used with the switcher, DME allows you to add three-dimensional effects such as image movement, rotation, magnification and shrinking, as well as a wide variety of special effects.
Page 41: External Devices
• Disk recorder (Sony disk 9-pin protocol and video disk communications protocol) • Extended VTR (Abekas A53 protocol) For details on the devices that can be connected, consult your Sony representative. You can control an external device by previously registering timeline keyframes.
Page 42: Snapshots
The following figure shows three keyframes created with a wipe pattern (the circle) in different positions. This is interpolated to create the effect shown. Background A Interpolated images Background B Keyframe 1 Keyframe 2 Keyframe 3 Effect execution Example of keyframes and effect execution You can save the sequence of keyframes representing a single effect in a register.
Page 43: Utility
These conditions are called “attributes” of the snapshot, and can be added when the snapshot is saved or recalled. For details, see Chapter 14 “Snapshots” (Volume 2). Utility The utility function refers to a function whereby you can assign an arbitrary action or a shortcut for frequently used menu to a particular button, then instantly recall the action or menu by pressing the button.
Page 44: Files
Macro attachment Macro attachment is a function whereby a macro register is assigned to a control panel button or a particular position of a fader lever, linking the execution of the button function or a fader lever operation with a macro execution.
Page 45: Setup
Setup Various settings are required, in order to operate the switcher, control panel, DME, external devices, and so on, connected together in a single system. This is referred to as “setup,” and you can carry out the setup operations from the Engineering Setup menu.

Page 134: Executing A Transition
Executing a Transition There are two modes of executing a transition: an auto transition by button operation or a manual transition using the fader lever. It is also possible to combine both methods, taking control with the fader lever of an auto transition which has partly completed, or complete a transition started with the fader lever as an auto transition.
Page 135: Setting The Transition Rate
Setting the Transition Rate There are two ways of setting the transition rate: using the numeric keypad control block to enter a numeric value, or using the Misc menu to access the Transition menu for the M/E or PGM/PST bank. You can also display the transition rate and independent key transition rate for each of the M/E and PGM/PST banks, and change the settings.

Page 140: Executing An Auto Transition
Carry out the transition. The [PTN LIMIT] button goes off, and the pattern limit state is released. Depending on the way in which the transition was executed, the action will be as follows. • When you press the [CUT] button, the pattern limit is immediately released, and the image switches instantaneously.
Page 141 A cut switches instantaneously from the current video to the new video. When the next transition is a key transition, the key cuts in or out instantaneously. Auto transition The transition from the current video to the new video is carried out automatically at a constant rate, using the transition effect selected as the transition type.
Page 142: Executing A Transition With The Fader Lever (Manual Transition)
Executing a Transition With the Fader Lever (Manual Transition) Using the fader lever, you can manually control the progress of the transition. Moving the fader lever from one end of its travel to the other completes the transition. To execute a manual transition with the transition control block fader lever, use the following procedure.
Page 143: Fader Lever Operation In Bus Fixed Mode
In a non-sync state, two lit LEDs indicate the position from which a normal transition can be carried out. This is either at one end position or both end positions of the fader lever travel. Moving the fader lever toward the position of the lit LEDs does not carry out a transition, but when the fader lever reaches the end position the non-sync state is released, and it is now possible to carry out the next transition.
Page 144 background output is always from the background A bus. This is called “flip- flop mode.” The alternative is known as “bus fixed mode,” in which there is no bus interchange. In this mode, when the fader lever is at the top of its travel the output from the A bus is always 100%, and when the fader lever is at the bottom of its travel the output from the B bus is 100%.
Page 145 LEDs light at both end positions of the fader lever travel. Moving the fader lever does not carry out a transition, but when the fader lever reaches the end position the non-sync state is released, and it is now possible to carry out the next transition.
Page 146: Transition Preview
Transition Preview With the preview output of the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank, you can check the effect of a transition in advance. To carry out a transition preview, press the [TRANS PVW] button in the transition control block. Notes In multi-program mode, DSK mode or bus fixed mode (page 143), it is not possible to carry out a transition preview.

Page 148: Independent Key Transitions
Independent Key Transitions What is an independent key transition? In addition to common transitions, it is possible to carry out independent transitions on the keyers of the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank. These are called “independent key transitions.” By carrying out an independent key transition in combination with a common transition, different transition types can be used for the background and keys.

Clean mode In a luminance key, linear key or color vector 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.

Overview A wipe is a transition from the current video stream to a new video stream, using a wipe pattern. Changing the background by means of a wipe is referred to as a “background wipe,” and inserting or deleting a key with a wipe is termed a “key wipe.” There are two types of wipe: those that can be selected in a common transition, and those that can be selected in an independent key transition.
Page 229: Basic Procedure For Wipe Settings
Basic Procedure for Wipe Settings You carry out wipe setting operations principally using the Wipe menu for each of the M/E-1 to M/E-3 and PGM/PST banks.

Overview A DME wipe is a wipe transition that uses a DME effect to change from one video image to the next. There are two types of DME wipe: those which can be selected for a normal transition, and those which can be selected for an independent key transition. For details of independent key transitions, see page 148.
Page 263 For each group (excluding user programmable DMEs), for schematic patterns and numbers, see “DME Wipe Pattern List” (page 418). The black part of the pattern represents the old video, and the white part the new video, with the wipe taking place in the direction of the arrow. Slide: The new video slides in over the old video.
Page 264 Frame in-out: Completed in two transitions. In the first transition, the new video appears, then on the second transition the new video goes out and the old video returns. (Pattern numbers: 1201 to 1208, 1221 to 1224 (one-channel mode), 2851 to 2854, 2861 to 2864 (two-channel mode)) Picture-in-picture: The one-channel mode and two-channel mode differ as follows.
Page 265 returning to the original image at 100%.

Page 468: Dme
DME (Digital Multi Effects) allows you to add three-dimensional effects such as image movement, rotation, magnification and shrinking, as well as a wide variety of special effects. DME is the general name for all of these effects. You can use up to eight channels as dedicated DME channels. Each channel can be used on its own or in combination with other channels, which allows you to create advanced effects with more complexity.

Source coordinate space Target coordinate space Source coordinate space and target coordinate space For example, as shown in the following figure, the image moves in a different direction when you move it along the x-axis of the source coordinate space and along the x-axis of the target coordinate space.
Page 470 Rotation around y-axis in local coordinate space Rotation around y-axis in global coordinate space Local coordinate space and global coordinate space Three-dimensional parameters Three-dimensional parameters are x, y, and z values which define the position of an image, its axis of rotation, the position of an imaginary point of view on the image, and so on.

Values for x-, y- and z-axes (16:9 mode) Limits of three-dimensional parameters The following table shows the limits of three-dimensional transformation parameters.
Page 473 Detents The system defines points called detents at regular intervals on the three- dimensional space. Pressing the [CTR] button (page 483) in the device control block sets the current three-dimensional parameter values to the closest detent points. The following table shows the interval between successive detents for each transformation operation mode (see page 474).

coordinate space, the setting values in the source coordinate space (three- dimensional parameter values) are converted to values in the target coordinate space (source/target conversion). Once a conversion has taken place, the original source coordinate space parameters do not return to their original values when you switch back to the source coordinate space.
Page 475: Axis Location
Rotation Rotates the image on the x-axis, y-axis, or z-axis. The type of rotation differs depending on whether you are manipulating the image in the source coordinate space or the target coordinate space. Image rotation in the source coordinate space Rotation around the y-axis Rotation around the x-axis Rotation around the z-axis...

Page 478: Graphics Display
Graphics Display Graphics display is a function that allows you to display wire frames, coordinate axes and a grid over the current DME image, to make it easier to create effects in three-dimensional coordinate space. Graphics displayed by this function can also be output to the monitor output connector.
Page 479 Grid This is a grid pattern representing the whole of the monitor screen. The grid makes it easy to set the position of an image in two-dimensional coordinates. Grid (16:9 mode) Shrinking the graphics display You can shrink the graphics display so that you can see beyond the range displayed on the normal monitor screen.

Page 680: Regions
Regions The term “region” refers to some sort of functional block of the system. When saving or recalling snapshot registers and effect registers, or creating or editing effects, you first select the region to which the operation applies. You can also select multiple regions simultaneously. Classification of the regions The regions are classified as follows.
Page 681 • To reproduce a frame memory still image or a clip of them by recalling a snapshot or keyframe, you must have the same images that were present in the frame memory when you saved the snapshot or keyframe. Therefore, when saving a snapshot or keyframe using frame memory, you must also save the images to a storage media such as the hard disk.
Page 682: Registers
Registers A register is an area of memory in a device which holds a snapshot, keyframe, macro, and so on. For details of macros, see “Macros” (page 784). Keyframe effect registers Dedicated effect registers There are 99 dedicated registers for keyframe effects in each region, numbered 1 to 99.
Page 683 Master timeline registers There are 99 master timeline registers, numbered 1 to 99, for each control panel. They store keyframe effect regions and the register numbers saved in the regions. Snapshot registers These are registers for snapshots, and there are 99, numbered 1 to 99 for each region.
Page 684: Keyframes
Keyframes A keyframe represents an instantaneous state of an image; it can be saved and recalled for reuse. Effects By arranging a number of keyframes on the time axis, and interpolating between successive keyframes, you can create an effect in which there is a continuous change from each keyframe to the next.
Page 685: Effect Editing
These conditions are called “attributes” of the effect, and can be added when the keyframe effect is saved or recalled. Type of attribute The attribute that can be attached to an effect is as follows. Effect dissolve: The transition from the state before the effect recall to the state at the effect start point is carried out smoothly, by a dissolve.
Page 686: Time Settings
Duration modes In keyframe editing, there are two duration modes; switch between them in the keyframe operation section. (See “Creating and Editing Keyframes” (page 709).) Variable duration mode: In this mode, inserting or deleting a keyframe increases or reduces the duration. Constant duration mode: In this mode, inserting or deleting a keyframe does not change the duration.
Page 687 Keyframe duration: This is the time from the keyframe to the next keyframe. You can set this time in the keyframe control block. (See “Setting the Keyframe Duration” (page 722).) In constant duration mode (see page 686), it is not possible to change the keyframe duration setting.
Page 688 Notes In constant duration mode (see page 686), the duration of the current keyframe is reduced to zero, and the new keyframe is inserted with the previous duration of the current keyframe. Thus the effect duration does not change. Insertion position Change in effect duration Insertion before the first keyframe...
Page 689 Notes In constant duration mode (see page 686), the duration of the keyframe before the deleted keyframe is increased by the duration of the deleted keyframe. Thus the effect duration does not change. Deletion position Change in effect duration Deletion of the first keyframe Deletion of an intermediate keyframe...
Page 690: Paths
Paths The term “path” refers to the specification of how interpolation is carried out from one keyframe to the next. Images are interpolated from an edit point to the next one according to the path setting. For details of the path setting procedure, see “Path Setting” (page 725). Switcher path settings Carry out path settings in the Key Frame menu.

Page 695: Effect Execution
Types of path Path types for Curve There are five types, as follows. OFF: Executing the effect causes no change. Step: There is no interpolation between keyframes, so that the effect parameters are updated each time a keyframe is passed. Linear: Linear interpolation between keyframes, resulting in constant speed movement.

Page 840: Overview Of File Operations
Overview of File Operations You can save register data, including setup information and snapshot information, as a file on a hard disk or memory card, and recall it as required. You can operate on individual files or registers, or together in a batch. Regarding frame memory, it is possible to capture image data stored in an external device into frame memory.
Page 841 Notes on transferring multiple frame memory files together to a memory card • Transferring all of the files within frame memory together fails if the capacity of the memory card is too small to hold all of the images. In this case, replace with a larger capacity memory card, or delete files until saving is possible.
