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.
In the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank, you can change one
of the images, the background, and keys 1 to 8
(downstream keys 1 to 8 in the PGM/PST bank), and also
vary combinations of these simultaneously.
Notes
When the signal format is 1080P, four keyers can be used
(keys 1 to 4).
The following are examples of transition.
Changing the background
A background transition switches from the video currently
selected on the background A bus (the current video) to the
video selected on the background B bus (the new video).
Background A
Background B
In the default selection of flip-flop mode (see page 82), the
background always switches in the direction from the A
bus to the B bus. When the transition completes, the cross-
point selections on the A and B buses are interchanged.
Transition
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.
