Page 17: Signal Selection
Signal Selection You carry out signal selection with the cross-point buttons in the cross-point control block of the M/E or PGM/PST bank, and the buttons in the auxiliary bus control block. Source name displays Key row XPT HOLD button SHIFT button Key delegation buttons DSK1 DSK2...
Page 18: Basics Of Signal Selection
Basics of Signal Selection The M/E bank, PGM/PST bank, and the auxiliary bus control block has cross- point buttons. These buttons are identified by numbers common to all of the banks, and a signal is assigned to each number. The basis of signal selection is to select, in a cross-point button row, the cross- point button to which is assigned the desired signal.

Page 20: Signal Assignment And Selection
Signal Assignment and Selection Assigning signals to buttons Each cross-point button has a corresponding button number, to which you assign a signal. In addition to the signals input to the PRIMARY INPUTS connectors on the rear panel of the switcher, you can also select signals generated within the switcher.

When the SHIFT button is off: When the SHIFT button is on: Button numbers when the rightmost buttons (12th buttons) are used as SHIFT buttons. When the SHIFT button is off: When the SHIFT button is on: Signal Name Display You can attach a name (source name) to each signal assigned to a cross-point...
Page 22 Colors of lit cross-point buttons In a particular row of cross-point buttons, only the last pressed button is effective, and lights amber or red. The amber indicates the “low tally” state, and the red indicates the “high tally” state, to indicate whether or not the selected signal appears in the final output video.
Page 23: Transitions
Transitions In the M/E and PGM/PST banks, the switch from the current video stream (appearing on the corresponding program monitor) to a new video stream is referred to as a transition. Selecting the Next Transition To execute a transition, it is first necessary to decide how the image will be changed as a result of the transition.
Page 24 Inserting and deleting a key You can insert one or more of the four 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 25 Simultaneously changing the background and keys You can change any of the four keys (downstream keys on the PGM/PST bank) and the background at the same time. Key 1 Changing the background and key 2 simultaneously Key 1 Key 2 Changing the background and keys 1 to 4 simultaneously Selecting the key priority If a number of keys are already inserted in the current video, you can check or...
Page 26: Independent Key Transitions
The key priority values go from 1 to 4, with a higher priority key being “in front” as seen on the screen. 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 bank and PGM/PST bank.
Page 27 Effect of a common transition In the case shown in the above illustration, carrying out a common transition produces the following change in the image. Transition type: wipe 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.
Page 28 Simultaneous execution If the [AUTO TRANS] buttons for the two transitions are pressed simultaneously, the following is the result. Note that in both cases the common transition is a wipe and the independent key transition is a mix (dissolve). Deleting a key with simultaneous transitions: With the key inserted, it is deleted simultaneously with the two transitions.
Page 29 Time offset execution with the key inserted: With the key inserted, it is deleted with the two transitions acting with a time offset. Whichever button is pressed first, when the common transition completes, even if the independent key transition is still not completed, the two end simultaneously.
Page 30: Transition Types
Example 1: When the independent key transition [AUTO TRANS] button is pressed later Example 2: When the common transition [AUTO TRANS] button is pressed later Transition Types Selecting the transition type determines the way in which the transition occurs. Carry out the type selection with the transition type selection buttons in the transition control block of the M/E or PGM/PST bank.
Page 31 NAM (non-additive mix) In this dissolve, the current video and new video signals are compared, and the signal with the higher luminance level is given priority in the output. The current video is maintained at 100% output for the first half of the transition as the new video increases progressively to 100%, then the current video is progressively reduced from 100% to zero in the second half with the new video maintained at 100% output.
Page 32 When only the background is changed When a key is inserted Wipe A wipe replaces the current video by the new video according to a predetermined pattern. This transition type can also be selected for an independent key transition. For details, see “Wipes” (page 46). DME wipe Using a DME effect, it is possible to obtain a transition to a new image from the current image, as in a wipe.
Page 33: Executing A Transition
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. 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.
Page 34: Transition Preview
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 35 When the pattern limit function is enabled, carrying out a transition results in the following effect for example settings. • When the limit value is set to 50%, the effect at the end of the transition is the same as when the fader lever is at the center position in the normal case (with the pattern limit function disabled);...
Page 36: Keys
Keys A key is an effect in which a part of the background image is replaced by an image or superimposed text. The signal determining how the background is cut out is termed “key source,” and the signal that replaces the cut-out part is termed “key fill.”...
Page 37: Chroma Key
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.
Page 38 Normal mix: The foreground is cut out with the key signal, and then combined with the background, which has also been cut out with the key signal. Additive mix: The background, which has been cut out with the key signal, is combined with the unshaped foreground.
Page 39 Crop Range of colors remaining as foreground a) The Crop and Angle values do not change even if you use the auto chroma key function. Window adjustment 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.
Page 40: Key Modifiers
For details of video adjustment operations and the adjustment items, see “Chroma Key Adjustments” (page 204). Wipe pattern key This uses the wipe pattern selected for a transition as the key source. Key wipe pattern key This uses the wipe pattern selected for an independent key transition as the key source.
Page 41 Border This applies a uniform width border to the edge of the key. You can adjust the border width and density. You can also enable the separate edge function, and adjust the top, bottom, left, and right border widths separately. Drop border This applies a border below and to the right for example, of the key.
Page 42 Outline This uses the outline of the original key as the key. You can adjust the width and density of the outline. You can also enable the separate edge function, and adjust the top, bottom, left, and right outline widths separately. Emboss This applies an embossing effect to the outline of the key.
Page 43 • When the edge type is normal with soft edge being on • When [Fine Key] is on Edge fill When a border, drop border, or shadow modifier is selected, you can select a signal to fill these edge effects. The edge fill may be either the signal from the dedicated color matte generator, or the signal currently selected on the utility 1 bus.

mask source. When the box generator is selected, a rectangular mask is formed. You can adjust the positions of the four sides of the box separately. When the pattern generator is selected, you can select the pattern and apply modifiers. Sub mask: This uses the wipe generator signal or the signal selected on the utility 1 bus on the M/E or PGM/PST bank, as the mask source.
Page 45: Key Default
Key Default With a simple operation you can return the key adjustment values to their defaults. The adjustment values which can be returned to their default values are as follows. • Adjustment values for the particular key type (Clip, Gain, Density, Filter, etc.) In the case of chroma keying, all adjustment values return to their default values.
Page 46: Wipes
Wipes 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 47: Pattern Mix
Pattern Mix You can create a new pattern by combining two selected patterns (main and “sub”). Note It is not possible to apply a pattern mix to an independent key transition. For details, see “Pattern Mix” (page 240). Types of pattern mix There are four ways in which patterns can be combined in a pattern mix, as follows.
Page 48 Start value –10.00 0.00 10.00 • A value of 0.00 corresponds to the beginning of the transition, and a value of 100.00 to the end of the transition. • A negative Start value signifies that the main and sub patterns are already combined when the transition starts.
Page 49: Wipe Pattern Variation And Modifiers
Main and sub modifier link function When carrying out a pattern mix, it is possible to link the modifier settings for the main pattern and sub pattern. There are two modes for this function. FULL LINK (fully linked) mode In this mode, all modifier settings are the same for the main pattern and sub pattern.
Page 50 Split This splits the pattern, making the parts of the wipe move in opposite directions. The parameter Split No. specifies the number of splits. The parameter Spacing specifies the spacing between adjacent patterns. Edge You can apply a border to the pattern, soften the edges, or soften the applied border.
Page 51 Positioner You can move the wipe pattern to any position. Positioner off • The parameter H Position controls the horizontal position of the pattern. A negative value moves the pattern to the left, and a positive value moves the pattern to the right. •...
Page 52 Speed Through the course of the transition the wipe pattern rotates at a fixed specified speed. The parameter Speed determines the speed of pattern rotation. A value of 100.00 of the parameter Speed corresponds to one turn per second counterclockwise; a value of +100.00 corresponds to one turn per second clockwise.
Page 53: Aspect Ratio
Aspect ratio You can freely change the aspect ratio of the pattern. Aspect off A negative value of the parameter Aspect stretches the pattern vertically; a positive value stretches the pattern horizontally. Pattern replication “Multi” The same pattern can be repeated horizontally and vertically or both, up to 63 times.
Page 54 1: All replications in the same orientation 2: Even-numbered columns and rows inverted 3: Even-numbered columns and rows inverted, and even-numbered rows staggered 4: Even-numbered rows staggered Pairing This slits the pattern into multiple strips, making it like a venetian blind. H: Create slits in the horizontal direction.
Page 55 Modulation The pattern signal can be modulated, giving waves on the horizontal or vertical edges, or radially. The parameter Shape determines the form of the modulation. 1: sine wave, 2: triangular wave, 3: rectangular wave Horizontal modulation This modulates the pattern, applying waviness in the horizontal direction to edges.
Page 56 The parameter Speed determines the speed of waves. A value of 100.00 generates the maximum counterclockwise speed of waves, and a value of +100.00 the maximum clockwise speed. Spring As the transition progresses, the edge of the pattern is subjected to barrel or pincushion distortion.
Page 57: 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. For independent key transitions, see page 26.
Page 58: Dme Wipe Pattern Variation And Modifiers
Slide: The new video slides in over the old video. (Pattern numbers: 1001 to 1008 (one-channel mode), 2601 to 2608 (two- channel mode)) Split: The old video splits, and the new video appears in the gap. (Pattern numbers: 1011 to 1013 (one-channel mode)) Squeeze: The new video appears squeezed over the old video, and progressively expands to cover it.
Page 59: Creating User Programmable Dme Patterns
For the setting operations, see “Setting DME Wipe Modifiers” (page 261). Direction: You can set the DME wipe direction to normal, reverse, or alternating normal/reverse (page 49), except for a key transition, which is always in normal/reverse mode. Border: You can apply a border or soft border (see page 50), except for DME wipes in the independent key transition control block with which this modifier cannot be used.
Page 60: Relation Between Dme Wipes And Other Effects
Keyframe effects in the global channel When the effect with the same number as the reference channel is present on the DME global (GLBL) channel, executing the user programmable DME will also execute the effect on the global channel simultaneously. When executing a user programmable DME, take note of whether the effect is present on the global channel.
Page 61: Frame Memory
Frame Memory Overview 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. The memory capacity for freeze images is a maximum of 222 frames. For details of operations, see “Frame Memory Operations”...
Page 62: Frame Memory Functions
Operation modes The frame memory has the following operating mode. V/K mode: When a pair setting is active, the key signal is automatically selected on frame memory source bus 2. This is convenient for handling the video and key signals together in frame memory. For example, when you select a video signal on frame memory source bus 1, the key signal assigned to it is automatically selected on frame memory source bus 2.
Page 63 You can apply a name of up to eight characters to the file. Recalling an image You can recall an image file saved in memory, and allocate to any of the FM1 to FM8 outputs. Processing an image You can process the memory image allocated to any of FM1 to FM8, or an image placed in temporary memory by a freeze.
Page 64: Image Output
Image output Moving the output image (reposition function) For up to two channels of FM1 to FM8, you can move the output image with respect to the screen. The area of the screen around the image that has been move is filled with black. There are two ways of carrying out this repositioning. Normal mode: Movement in the horizontal direction is in two-pixel increments.
Page 65: Color Backgrounds
Color Backgrounds The dedicated generators generate color signals, and these can be used as color backgrounds in video effects. Color background selection There are two color backgrounds, color background 1 and color background 2, which you use by assigning to cross-point buttons. Color combinations (“color mix”) The color generators can output the result of combining two colors, which are color 1 and color 2.
Page 66: Copy And Swap
Copy and Swap You can copy and swap the settings between the M/E-1 and PGM/PST banks or between keyers. The following settings can be copied or swapped. • Overall settings for the M/E-1 and PGM/PST banks • Keyer settings • Wipe settings in a transition control block •...
Page 67 Keyer copy and keyer swap You can carry out copy and swap operations among the keyers listed in the following table. Target bank Target keyer M/E-1 Keys 1 to 4 PGM/PST Downstream keys 1 to 4 Note If a DME is being used on the source keyer for a copy or either keyer for a swap, then if for example there are insufficient DME channels, or the limit on using DME channels within the M/E bank is exceeded, it may not be possible to select the DME.

Page 69: Video Process
Video Process The term “video process” is applied to adjustments to the luminance and hue of the input video signal. There are two types of adjustment, depending on the application: • Adjustment of an individual primary input signal • Image effects on a particular bus Note These types of adjustment may be carried out independently.

Page 71: Digital Multi Effects (Dme)
Digital Multi Effects (DME) 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. DME is the general name for all of these effects. Each channel can be used on its own or in combination with other channels, which allows you to create advanced effects with more complexity.
Page 72 the plane of the monitor screen. The coordinates do not move even if the image moves. Source coordinate space For example, as shown below, 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 73 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.

Page 75 Limits of three-dimensional parameters The following table shows the limits of three-dimensional transformation parameters. The three-dimensional parameters of an image change when you use the trackball or Z-ring to execute a transformation. You can also execute a transformation by entering parameter values from the numeric keypad control block.
Page 76: Transformation Operation Modes
a) When a value is smaller than 1, 1/Aspect or 1/Perspective (z) is adjusted to an integral value. Three-dimensional parameter default values Each of the transformation operation modes has default values for three- dimensional parameters. If required, you can return the current value to the defaults by pressing the [CTR] button in the device control block twice in rapid succession.
Page 77 Location XYZ Moves the image on the x-axis, y-axis, or z-axis. The direction of movement differs depending on whether you are manipulating the image in the source coordinate space or the target coordinate space. Image movement in the source coordinate space Movement on the x-axis Image movement in the target coordinate space Movement on the x-axis...
Page 78 Image rotation in the source coordinate space Rotation around the y-axis Image rotation in the target coordinate space Rotation around the y-axis Spin When rotating the image in Rotation mode, it may not always be possible to achieve the kind of rotation around an axis that you want. Combining Rotation mode with Spin mode creates an effect that rotates the image around a specified axis.
Page 79 Axis movement Movement on the x-axis Location Size Changes the size of the whole image. • Because shrinking and magnification of the image in the source coordinate space is done in three-dimensional space, magnifying the image emphasizes the sense of perspective. •...
Page 80 Aspect In the source coordinate space, changes the aspect ratio in the x-direction and y-direction, either independently or simultaneously. Change of aspect ratio in x-direction Perspective In the target coordinate space, changes the perspective on the image by changing an imaginary view point, without changing the position of the image. The x-axis and y-axis values define the position of the view point.
Page 81: Graphics Display
Skew In the source coordinate space, change the skew of the image on the x-axis or y-axis. Change of skew on x-axis 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.
Page 82 • In global coordinate space, the channel number is displayed along with “G” to indicate global. For example, “G2” means channel 2 in global coordinate space. Wire frame 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.
Page 83: Dme Special Effects
Range displayed on normal monitor screen To automatically erase the graphic display Turn Auto Erase on. The graphic display is erased automatically whenever a keyframe is executed. It is displayed again after the keyframe ends, after the time set in Recovery Time. DME Special Effects You can use DME to add a variety of special effects.
Page 84 Crop This effect crops away the edges of the image. You can crop the top, bottom, left, and right sides individually or all together. You can also soften the cropped edges. Defocus Defocuses the whole image. The degree of defocusing can be set separately for video signals and key signals.
Page 85 Multi Move Shrinks the image and lines up a number of copies vertically and horizontally. You can specify the center point of the shrinking, the shrinking ratio, and the aspect ratio of the image screen. Sepia Overlays a specified color onto the image. You can adjust the sepia color that is overlaid, and specify the degree of mixing between the original image and the sepia image.
Page 86 Nega Reverses the luminance and/or chroma of the image. Contrast Changes the contrast of the luminance and/or chroma of the image. Mosaic Divides the image into small tiles so that it looks like a mosaic. You can specify the size and aspect ratio of the tiles. Freeze Freezes the input video.
Page 87 Nonlinear Effects You can add a variety of effects, including effects that change the shape of the image as a whole. The following nonlinear effects are available. For more information about settings and operations with nonlinear effects, see “Nonlinear Effect Settings” in Chapter 11 (Volume 2). Note It is not possible to apply two or more nonlinear effects at the same time.
Page 88 There are two modes: H&V and Size. You can set the size and frequency of waves in the image, the wave form, the amount of wave movement, and the range. In H&V mode, you can also set the wave angle. Twist Twists the image.
Page 89 You can set the degree of transition, the degree of randomness in the distance moved by each block, the amount of movement, the width of the partitions, the degree of randomness in partition width, the center point, the starting angle, and other parameters.
Page 90 Blind Divides the image into bars or wedges, with blocks rotating like the slats of venetian blinds. There are two modes: Bar and Wedge. You can set the number of rotations by blocks, the perspective, the width and position of blocks, the direction, the center position, and other parameters.
Page 91 You can choose to reflect in the directions left to right, right to left, bottom to top, top to bottom, or any combination of directions. You can also set the position of the border between original and reflections. Multi Mirror Divides the image into originals and reflections, lining them up vertically and horizontally.

Page 103: External Devices
External Devices In the DVS-9000 system, you can operate while controlling the following types of external device: • Devices supporting P-BUS (Peripheral II protocol) (referred to as “P-BUS devices” in the manual) • VTRs The following is an outline of external device control.
Page 104: Control Of P-Bus Devices
As effect data, you can save and recall, using the File menu. Control of P-BUS Devices You can control P-BUS devices from the DVS-9000 system through the 9-pin serial port of a DCU-8000 Device Control Unit. P-BUS device control modes There are two modes of P-BUS device control, as follows.
Page 105 P-BUS trigger mode actions The actions that can be used in P-BUS trigger mode are as follows. • Store • Recall • Trigger For details of the buttons assigned to each action, see Chapter 12, “External Devices” (Volume 2). P-BUS timeline mode actions The actions that can be used in P-BUS timeline mode are as follows.
Page 106: Regions And Registers
Regions and Registers Regions The term “region” refers to some sort of functional unit 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.
Page 107 Keyframe effect registers Dedicated effect registers There are 99 dedicated registers for keyframe effects in each region, numbered 1 to 99. Shared user-programmable DME registers In addition to the 99 DME registers for each region (i.e. each channel), there are also shared registers for each processor as shown in the following table. These are used for user-programmable DME.
Page 108: 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 109: Saving And Recalling Effects
Saving and Recalling Effects To create a new effect, first recall an empty register, then create the keyframes one at a time in this register. To run an effect, it is also necessary to set the time and the path. To edit an existing effect, recall the register holding the effect, then make the changes.
Page 110: Time Settings
Duration modes In keyframe editing, there are two duration modes; switch between them in the keyframe operation section. (See “Time Settings” in Chapter 13 (Volume 2).) 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 111 When you change the effect duration, the keyframe duration for each keyframe in the effect is automatically recalculated proportionally. Keyframe number Schematic view of keyframe duration and effect duration The effect duration may also be changed by inserting or deleting keyframes. Changes in the effect duration caused by inserting a keyframe •...
Page 112 Insertion position Insertion at an existing keyframe Insertion at the last keyframe Changes in the effect duration caused by deleting a keyframe • When the effect is stopped on a keyframe, a delete operation deletes the keyframe, and reduces the effect duration by the duration of the deleted keyframe.
Page 113: Paths
Deletion position Deletion between two keyframes Deletion of the last keyframe Keyframe deletion position and the change in effect duration Delay setting You can set the delay from the time of executing an operation to run the effect, and the effect actually starting (that is, the delay until the first keyframe). You can make this setting in the keyframe control block.

Xpt Hold off: When replaying a keyframe, change the inputs to the settings saved in memory. Xpt Hold on: When replaying a keyframe, do not change the inputs.
Page 119: Snapshots
Snapshots The term “snapshot” refers to a function whereby the various settings required to apply a particular effect to an image are saved in memory as a set of data, for recall as required, to recover the original state. You can carry out snapshot operations using the numeric keypad control block and the Snapshot menu.
Page 120 Key disable: When the snapshot is recalled, the key settings remain unchanged. This can be set independently for each keyer. Effect dissolve: The transition from the state before the snapshot recall to the snapshot settings is carried out smoothly, by a dissolve. The dissolve duration can be set in the Snapshot menu.
Page 121 Temporary attributes When recalling a snapshot, you can temporarily apply attributes distinct from the attributes set for each register. These are called “temporary attributes.” You can set temporary attributes when recalling a snapshot. For details of snapshot operations, see Chapter 14 “Snapshots” (Volume 2). Bus override If you recall a snapshot while holding down an A or B bus button, the selection of the signal on the A or B bus does not change when the snapshot is recalled.
Page 122: Shot Box
Shot Box The term “shot box” refers to a function whereby for each specified region any snapshot or keyframe effect can be recalled simultaneously. The simultaneous recall setting data such as region names, snapshot numbers and keyframe effect numbers are stored in “registers.” There are 99 registers for each control panel.

Page 200: Key Setting Operations Using Menus
Key Setting Operations Using Menus There are two ways of making key settings: either using menus, or using the key control block. This section describes basic procedures for making key settings using the menus, taking the M/E-1>Key1 menu as an example. Operations in the Key menus are the same for all banks (M/E-1 and PGM/ PST).

Page 204: Chroma Key Adjustments
Using the plane function In an additive mix, since no key is applied to the foreground, any variations in the (typically blue) background may appear in the composite image. To avoid this, a particular luminance level can be set for the (blue) background, and regions of lower luminance forcibly cut.
Page 205 Knob Parameter Position V Size a) The setting ranges depend on the signal format, screen aspect ratio, and size settings. Select [Auto Start] in the <Auto> group. This executes an auto chroma key based on the color specified by the sample selector, and displays the composite image on the monitor.
