Page 70: Before Beginning Image Creation
Before Beginning Image Creation Before considering the operations of image creation proper, this section describes how the various video sources are combined to produce the final program output. For an explanation of the terms “3.5-M/E” and “3-M/E”, see page 1-2. Video Signal Flow The DVS-7300/7350 system has three mix/effects banks and, depending on the system, a program/preset bank and downstream keyer.
Page 71 Before Beginning Image Creation Examples of signal flow The following examples show how the outputs of the M/E banks can be fed to each other, in the two principal system types. For convenience it is assumed here that the signals are fed in the fixed order from M/E-1 to M/E-2 to M/E-3, but in fact any of these banks can feed any of the others.
Page 72 Example signal flow in a 3-M/E system The following diagram shows an example of the signal flow in a 3-M/E system, with the output from the M/E-3 bank set up to be the switcher program output. M/E-1 bank M/E-1 output video M/E-2 bank M/E-2 output...
Page 73: Signal Selection
Before Beginning Image Creation Signal Selection Pressing a cross-point button selects a signal on the corresponding bus, but in some cases a single row of cross-point buttons is used for more than one bus. In this case it is first necessary to delegate the row of cross-point buttons to the required bus.
Page 74 Cross-point buttons and buses for the BKDS-7011/7023 Button row Banks Delegation operation Background A M/E-1, M/E-2, M/E-3 None required. Background B Key 1 and key 2 fill M/E-1, M/E-2, M/E-3 Press the KEY 1 or KEY 2 button in the corresponding key control section, turning it on.
Page 75 Before Beginning Image Creation Using the shift function The 29 cross-point buttons in each row are numbered 0 to 28. Normally the rightmost button is the shift button; the buttons to which signals are assigned are then numbered 0 to 27 in the unshifted state, and 30 to 57 in the shifted state.
Page 76 Reentry buttons To use the output of one M/E bank as a background input to another M/E bank, press the corresponding button (M/E-1, M/E-2, or M/E-3) at the right of the bank. For example, to use the output of the M/E-1 bank as background B on the M/E-2 bank, press the M/E-1 button in the B row of cross-point buttons in the M/E-2 bank.
Page 77: Using The Mix/Effects Banks
Using the Mix/Effects Banks This section describes some of the effects which you can create using mix/ effects banks. Backgrounds and Keys You can use each of the mix/effects banks to insert one or two keys into a background video image. To define a key requires two video signals, the key source, which specifies which part of the background is cut out, and the key fill, which supplies the different video to insert in the cutout.
Page 78: Basic Operating Procedure
Key types For each of the M/E banks, you can use the following key types. See the page numbers indicated in parenthesis for more details. • Luminance key (page 4-39) • Linear key (page 4-40) • Clean key (page 4-40) •...
Page 79 Using the Mix/Effects Banks Prepare the new video. • Select a new background on the background B bus, using the cross- point buttons. • When inserting a key, select the key signals and make any other required settings in the key control section. For more details of key signal selection and other settings, see the section “Basic Operation for Key Settings Using a Menu”...
Page 80 Background and key transitions Key cut Suppose that in step 2 of the procedure above you pressed just the KEY 1 button, and then in step 6 pressed the CUT button. This cuts key 1 in or out, i.e. instantaneously, and amounts to a cut transition on the M/E bank. On the other hand, using the KEY ON button in the key control section, you can cut the key in (or out) independently of the transition on the M/E bank.
Page 81: Selecting The Next Transition
Using the Mix/Effects Banks Selecting the Next Transition In a transition you can change between the two backgrounds, or insert or remove either of the keys, or carry out any of these operations simultaneously. The following figures illustrate some possible effects. Background transition A background transition switches from the currently selected background A (old video) to background B (new video).
Page 82 Key transitions Inserting or removing a single key This inserts or removes key 1 or key 2 in the current video. Key 1 or key 2 Inserting key Removing key Inserting and removing key 1 or key 2 Inserting or removing both keys simultaneously This inserts or removes both key 1 and key 2 in the current video.
Page 83 Using the Mix/Effects Banks Carrying out background and key transitions simultaneously You can switch any combination of the background and keys 1 and 2 simultaneously. The following example illustrates leaving key 1 unchanged, while changing both the background and key 2. Key 1 Key 1 Key 2...
Page 84: Selecting The Transition Type
Selecting the Transition Type The most basic distinction is between an instantaneous transition, or cut, and the various types of gradual transition. The system provides the following types of gradual transition; to select one of these, press the corresponding button in the transition control section, turning it on.
Page 85 Using the Mix/Effects Banks Super Mix dissolve This is another variant dissolve, in which again the new video level is increased from 0% to 100% over the first half of the transition, and the old video is reduced from 100% to 0% over the second half. It is also possible to set the video levels at the mid-point of the transition to a value other than 100%.
Page 86: Setting A Transition Limit
Setting a Transition Limit Normally the range of a transition corresponds to a complete switch from the old video to the new video. Alternatively, using the transition limit function, you can restrict the extent to which the transition is executed, so that in the state corresponding to a 100% movement of the fader lever, the transition is still incomplete.
Page 87: Super Mix Settings
Using the Mix/Effects Banks Turn control knob 4 to set the transition limit. Knob Parameter Setting Trans Limit 0.00 to 100.00% • At the minimum limit setting (0%), moving the fader lever has no effect at all. • At the maximum limit setting (100%), the entire transition occurs as normal, but the background A and B buses do not flip-flop.
Page 88: Using The Program/Preset Bank
Using the Program/Preset Bank A 3.5-M/E system includes a program/preset (PGM/PST) bank, which provides control of the final program output, with background transitions and up to four downstream key insertions. You can control downstream key transitions either from the transition control section or from the downstream keyer control section, but this section concentrates on operations using the transition control section.
Page 89 Using the Program/Preset Bank Select whether the transition is a background or key transition with the next transition selection buttons in the transition control section. • For a background transition: press the BKGD button, turning it on. • To insert or remove a downstream key: press the corresponding one of the DSK 1, DSK 2, DSK 3, and DSK 4 buttons, turning it on.
Page 90 If you selected a wipe or DME wipe, make the necessary settings. For details of the settings, see the sections on the pages indicated in the following table. Wipe “PGM/PST Wipes and Downstream Keyer Wipes” (4-112) DME wipe “DME Wipe Settings” (4-127) Use the transition control section to execute the transition.
Page 91: Basic Downstream Key Operations
Basic Downstream Key Operations Using a 3.5-M/E system or a 3-M/E system equipped with a downstream keyer, you can insert up to four keys into the final background output. The following table identifies the final background output on each of these systems.
Page 92 Types of key transition which can be carried out You can carry out any of the following types of key transition. • Cut • Dissolve (normal mix dissolve only) • Wipe • DME wipe (single mode only) • Fade-to-black All of these transitions except DME wipe and fade-to-black can be applied to any combination of the four keyers independently and simultaneously.
Page 93 Basic Downstream Key Operations Parallel configuration Each of the four downstream keys is inserted into a single background image to provide four different final outputs. Final output 1 DSK 1 Final output 2 DSK 2 Background video Final output 3 DSK 3 Final output 4 DSK 4...

Page 95: Basic Operating Procedure
Basic Downstream Key Operations Basic Operating Procedure First delegate the buttons in the downstream keyer control section to the required keyer, then control the downstream key transition using the downstream keyer control section and associated menus. The following is the basic procedure for carrying out a downstream key transition.
Page 96 If you selected a wipe or DME wipe as the transition type, make the necessary settings. For details of the settings, see the sections on the pages indicated in the following table. Wipe “PGM/PST Wipes and Downstream Keyer Wipes” (4-112) DME wipe “DME Wipe Settings”...
Page 97 Basic Downstream Key Operations Fade-to-black You can carry out a fade-to-black on the output of a keyer for which you have selected “ENBL” (enabled) in the SETUP menu. To carry out a fade-to-black, press the FADE TO BLACK button in the downstream keyer control section.
Page 98: Executing A Transition
Executing a Transition This section describes the transition execution modes, transition rate setting, and the procedure for executing a transition. Overview Transition execution modes There are two modes: the auto transition mode, carried out by pressing buttons, and the manual transition mode, using the fader levers. It is also possible to combine these two techniques.
Page 99: Setting The Transition Rate
Executing a Transition Setting the Transition Rate You can set the rate of an auto transition, by specifying the duration as the number of frames required. Use the following procedure to set the transition rate before pressing the AUTO TRANS button to carry out an auto transition. To set the transition rate, first specify the bank or keyer for which you wish to carry out the setting, then enter the numeric value from the numeric keypad section.
Page 100 Specifying the keyer when using a KEY MIX button When using a KEY MIX button to carry out a key transition on an M/E bank keyer, to specify what the transition rate setting applies to, hold down the TRANS RATE button in the numeric keypad section, then press the keyer delegation button in the key control section of the corresponding M/E bank.
Page 101: Executing A Transition
Executing a Transition Executing a Transition This section describes how to execute a transition on an M/E bank or the PGM/PST bank of a 3.5-M/E system. Note that for the PGM/PST bank, it is only possible to execute the transition using the transition control section.
Page 102 Fading a key in or out on an M/E bank using the KEY MIX button Press the corresponding KEY MIX button in the key control section. This begins the transition at the preset rate. During the fade in or fade out, when the key is inserted in the output from the M/E bank, the KEY ON button lights amber, and if it is present in the final program output, the KEY ON button lights red.
Page 103 Executing a Transition Switching from manual to auto transition control • If you press the CUT button, the transition completes instantaneously. • If you press the AUTO TRANS button while using the fader lever to control a transition, auto transition control starts from the transition state represented by the current fader lever position, and completes the transition at the set rate (taking a time proportional to the remaining transition).
Page 104 Bus fixed mode and bus flip-flop mode The default operating mode for the switcher is bus flip-flop mode, in which an M/E background transition always proceeds from background A to background B, and at the end of the transition the signal selections on the two background buses flip-flop.
Page 105 Executing a Transition Fader lever operation in bus fixed mode • In the bus fixed mode there is a fixed relationship between the position of the fader lever and the signal output on each bus. Depending on the direction of the transition, the fader lever must therefore always be moved in a particular direction, as shown in the following table.
Page 106: Keys
Keys This section describes the settings for keying operations (excluding chroma keying) which you can make on the M/E banks. It also describes the settings for downstream keying on a 3.5-M/E system, or 3-M/E system equipped with a downstream keyer. For details of chroma key operations and settings, see Chapter 5.
Page 107 Keys Linear key This is a variant type of luminance key, but with reduced variability in gain. • In a D2 system, the key source signal including the chrominance component is used to determine the key. • In a D1 system, the key source Y signal is used to determine the key. Clean key In a luminance or linear key the key source is used as a mask on both the background (i.e.
Page 108 Edge modifications It is possible to modify the edge of the key in several ways, for example adding a border or softening the edge. Edge modifications require the optional BKDS-7270 Key Border Board to be Option fitted. The following figures illustrate some of the edge modifications. Normal (unmodified) edge Border: You can apply a constant-width border to the edge of the key.
Page 109 Keys Drop border or shadow: There are eight positions (numbered 1 to 8) to apply a drop border or shadow. Drop border (position code 1) Shadow (position code 1) Outline: You can apply an outline to the edge of the key. There are nine possibilities (numbered 0 to 8) for the outline position.
Page 110 Edge fill: When using a border, drop border or shadow effect, you can select the edge fill signal to be inserted in this area. On each of the M/E banks, you can select either the dedicated color matte generator, or the signal selected on the utility bus. On the downstream keyer a color matte signal is automatically selected for the edge fill.
Page 111 Keys Processed key function The term “processed key” refers to the function whereby a keyer in a switcher operates in combination with an external DME unit to apply a DME effect to a key. This function is not available on the downstream keyer. When the processed key function is enabled, before combination with the background, the key fill and key source signals produced by the switcher keyer (with borders, shadows and other processing already effected) are...
Page 112 Saving and recalling default values of parameters You can make default values of key parameter settings saved in memory for a particular combination of signal selected as the key source on the M/E bank, keyer, and key type. Use a setup menu to save the values (see page 13-42). To recall the default values for M/E-1 key 1, for example, select the signal as key source with the M/E-1 KEY 1 menu displayed on screen, and hold down the function key for the required key type.

Page 216: Basic Chroma Key Operations
Basic Chroma Key Operations This section describes chroma key operations with the BKDS-2031 board only installed. Note that the operation is slightly different in D1 and D2 systems. Preparations Dedicated chroma key inputs and settings • In a D2 system, since one of four analog component signals (the signals input to the CRK INPUTS connectors on the rear panel of the processor) is used as the foreground video, inputs and settings for these signals are required.
Page 217: Chroma Key Menu
Basic Chroma Key Operations CHROMA KEY Menu For most chroma key operations, you use a dedicated chroma key menu for the keyer concerned. Accessing the chroma key menu For example, to access the M/E-1 CHROMA KEY menu, use any of the following operations: •...
Page 218: Basic Operations
Basic Operations You select the foreground from the dedicated chroma key signals, and select the background on the cross-point buttons, then combine them by means of a key transition. In a D1 system only, you can also select the foreground with a cross-point button.
Page 219 Basic Chroma Key Operations Press any of F4 to F8 to select the foreground video. In a D2 system, however, F8 (KEY BUS) does not appear. F4 (CH1) to F7 (CH4): input signal to one of the CRK INPUT connectors (CH 1 to CH 4) on the rear panel of the processor. F8 (KEY BUS): signal selected on the key bus.
Page 220: Adjusting The Chroma Key Image
Adjusting the Chroma Key Image There are two ways of adjusting the output from chroma keying: automatically, using the auto chroma key function, or manually, making individual adjustments from the menu. In general the most effective and time-efficient method is to use the auto chroma key function for the initial adjustment, and then only if further adjustment is still required, use the manual facilities.
Page 221 Basic Chroma Key Operations Adjust the parameter settings so that the sample frame is entirely within the area being used for chroma keying (usually the blue background). Knob Parameter Setting H Pos Set the horizontal position of the frame (–50.00 to +50.00) V Pos Set the vertical position of the frame (–50.00 to...
Page 222 Making manual color cancel adjustment If the background color is affecting the foreground image, by turning the color cancel function on you can eliminate this effect. Use the following procedure. In the ADJUST menu, set F4 (KEY ACTIVE) to “OFF”. The foreground only appears on the monitor.
Page 223 Basic Chroma Key Operations Making the window adjustment You can adjust the detection range of the information used to produce the key signal. When this function is off, the default range is used for image adjustment. Chroma keying uses a particular hue (typically a blue background color) in the foreground signal to produce the key signal, and the window function specifies the range of signal values to be regarded as this background hue.
Page 224 In the ADJUST menu, press F4 (KEY ACTIVE), F5 (COLOR CANCEL) and F6 (WINDOW) to turn them on. Turn control knobs 1 and 2 clockwise. Knob Parameter Setting Crop Set the CROP value (0.00 to 100.00) Angle Set the ANGLE value (0.00 to 180.00) This sets the CROP and ANGLE values to zero.
Page 225: Video Signal Adjustment
Basic Chroma Key Operations Video Signal Adjustment You can adjust the gain and hue delay (offset) of the foreground video signal. You can either adjust the overall gain of the signal or adjust the Y and C components separately. The following procedure is the same in both D1 and D2 systems. In the CHROMA KEY menu, select item 3 (VIDEO CORRECT).
Page 226: Chroma Key Masking
Chroma Key Masking If there are unwanted background “holes” in the chroma key image, you can mask these areas off. For chroma key masking you can use the main and subsidiary masks independently or simultaneously on the selected keyer (KEY 1 or KEY 2). The following procedures are thus the same in both D1 and D2 systems.

Page 232: Clean Chroma Key
Clean Chroma Key When you are using the enhanced chroma key function, in the SETUP (CHROMA KEY) menu a clean chroma key is possible. Using 4:4:4 format signals for the background and foreground enables you to obtain a higher quality keyed image than with conventional chroma keying. Clean chroma keying produces an already combined image, so it is not possible to carry out a key transition.

Knob Parameter Setting Clip Set clip level on the color cancel key signal (0.00 to 100.00) Gain Set color cancel key gain (0.00 to 100.00) Press any of F4 to F6 as necessary and adjust the parameters. F4 (WINDOW): Adjust the detection range for the key signal.
Page 242 Adjusting the Y balance In conventional chroma keying, the key signal is formed using the chroma component alone, and therefore if there are portions of the foreground of the same hue they will all be replaced by the background video. Using the Y balance function, however, it is possible to restrict the replacement to a specified intensity range even for the matching hue.
Page 243 Enhanced Chroma Keying (Single Mode) Adjusting the chroma key shadow This function provides a more realistic treatment when the shadow of an object in the field of view falls on the blue background. Since parts of the blue background darker than a specified intensity are treated as shadows, there is no effect on cutting out of the foreground.
Page 244: Video Signal Adjustment And Spot Color Adjustment
Video Signal Adjustment and Spot Color Adjustment When you are using the enhanced chroma key function, it is possible to carry out both overall and localized adjustments to the video signal. The following procedures are the same in both D1 and D2 systems. Making overall color adjustment for the foreground and the background You can change the gain and hue for the whole foreground, and for the whole...
Page 245 Enhanced Chroma Keying (Single Mode) Making spot color adjustment for the foreground You can make video adjustments for a portion of a specified color (for example red) within the foreground, changing it to a different color (for example yellow), without affecting portions of other colors. Use the following procedure.
Page 246 Press F7 (WINDOW), turning it on, and adjust the detection range for the spot color key. Knob Parameter Setting Luminance Set luminance (0.00 to 100.00) Saturation Set saturation (0.00 to 100.00) Set the range of hue (0.00 to 100.00) Press any of F8 to F10 as necessary, to restrict the area for spot color adjustment.
Page 247: Dual Masking
