Page 17: Concept
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher Concept Introduction In general, any video switcher receives multiple video inputs, performs signal processing on selected input signals, and then outputs the processed video. Efficient real time switcher operation is essential for live production, and can save valuable time in post production environments as well. -

Page 20: Kayak Dd System Configuration
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher KayakDD System Configuration Overview The KayakDD Digital Production Switcher is designed for operational flexibility, and can be configured to fit various applications. Different KayakDD systems can have different capabilities, or the same KayakDD system can be re-configured to have different capabilities at different times. -
Page 21: Installation (Engineering Setups)
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher Installation (Engineering Setups) Engineering Setups control how the KayakDD Digital Production Switcher’s major components behave and interact, and how the KayakDD system interacts with the rest of the facility. Engineering Setups are not likely to change on a daily basis and so are grouped separately from Configurations and Personality Settings. -
Page 22: Personality Settings
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher Personality Settings Personality Settings allow users to customize a KayakDD control surface to suit their personal operational style. User Preferences do not change KayakDD system capabilities. Loading and Storing Personal Settings is possible via the Sidepanel Program Personality Settings include: •... -
Page 23: Signal Routing
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher Signal Routing 2.6.1 Inputs and Sources Incoming video signals are connected to the KayakDD system via BNC connectors on the rear of the KayakDD Digital Processor frame. All inputs are serial digital (SMPTE 259M, CCIR 601). Signals from external devices not operating in this standard will need to be converted. -
Page 24: Key Memory
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.6.4 Key Memory Key parameters can be saved to a separate key memory for every KayakDD system source. These parameters can be applied automatically whenever that source is selected. 2.6.5 Buses and Crosspoints A bus is technically defined as a signal path where one of several available inputs can be selected to feed a single output. -
Page 25: Shifted Sources
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher In the upper part of Figure below, the video component of source 2 in the figure has been selected on the key fill bus and becomes the key fill signal for subsequent keying. The key component of source 2 selected on the key cut bus becomes the key cut signal for keying. -
Page 26: The Mix/Effects (M/E) Stage
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher A useful configuration is to have sources normally used for backgrounds (e.g. VTRs) mapped to unshifted buttons, and sources normally used as keys (e.g. character generators) mapped to shifted buttons. Then you can then set all the background buses to an unshifted preference, and all the key buses to a shifted preference. -
Page 27: Alternate Buses And Delegation
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.7.1 Alternate Buses and Delegation Many earlier generation switchers had M/Es equipped with two keyers, and each M/E could accept two background sources. This permitted mixing or wiping between two backgrounds, and keying up to two additional sources over the background. Dedicated rows of control panel buttons were used to select these key and background signals. -
Page 28: Outputs
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher If the KayakDD system is equipped with the optional Transform Engine option, the effects become part of the internal M/E’s mixer. 2.7.4 Outputs Video production switchers generate several different video outputs (Program, Preview, etc.). A final program output from PGM is typically sent to the transmitter for broadcast and/or to output devices for recording. -
Page 29: Resource Sharing And Point Of Use
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher Resource Sharing and Point Of Use The KayakDD system can share some resources for use at different locations. The location where a resource is being used is called a point of use. The wipe pattern generator resources can be used for an M/E wipe transition, as a preset pattern, as a mask, or at other points of use. -
Page 30: Mix
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.9.2 A mix is a transition from one picture to another where the new picture fades in as the existing picture fades out. During a standard mix transition a superimposition of both pictures, each at a lower intensity, is visible. The KayakDD system allows mixing from one background to another and to mix up to four separate keys on or off over a background. -
Page 31: Other Wipe Pattern Generator Uses
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.9.5 Other Wipe Pattern Generator Uses Wipe pattern generator circuitry can be used for purposes that do not involve transitions. Each KayakDD M/E has the two complex wipe pattern generators described above, and each of its four Keyers also has a simple pattern generator and a box pattern generator, making a total of six wipe generators. -
Page 32: Look Ahead Preview
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.9.10 Look Ahead Preview If a preview monitor is configured for Look Ahead Preview mode, the end result of the upcoming transition can be viewed on that monitor. This lets the operator know in advance what will occur for that next transition. 2.9.11 Current and Next Stack KayakDD uses a current and next stack approach for transitions that involve multiple... -
Page 33: Keying
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.10 Keying Keying inserts part of one picture into another to create a composite picture. Keying involves three signals: • Background, • Key cut, used to specify where to cut a hole in the background, and •... -
Page 34: Matte Fill Key Example
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.10.1 Matte Fill Key Example One of the earliest keying techniques was to use an art card and camera to perform a luminance key with a matte fill. This type of key is a good example for explaining basic keying principles because three separate and independent incoming signals are used. -
Page 35: Shaping Video
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.10.2 Shaping Video In the matte key example above, the key fill signal was a full raster color that did not match the shape of the key cut signal. This key fill signal is accurately called non- shaped video, but may also be referred to as unshaped video since both signal types are processed identically during keying. -
Page 36: Clip And Gain
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.10.4 Clip and Gain The Clip and Gain operation selects a threshold of the selected key cut video that will be used to cut the hole in the background video. Clip controls the threshold, and Gain controls the softness of the key edges and any translucent areas. -
Page 37: Clip Hi And Clip Lo
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher On the KayakDD system, Gain has a percentage value. A Gain value of 50% requires a luminance change of 50% of the distance between black and white to produce a keying signal ranging from transparent to opaque. A gain value of 100% (unity gain) uses the entire range between black and white for this transparent to opaque transition. -
Page 38: S-Shaped Key Signals
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.10.7 S-Shaped Key Signals On the KayakDD system, an S-shaping function is applied to the edges of luminance keys. S-shaping smooths the sharp corners of a luminance key control signal, which helps prevent banding artifacts. S-shaping a signal minimally affects the key edges, and does not move key thresholds or affect the overall gain of the key. - Page 39 KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.10.8.3 Opacity The opacity of a key can be adjusted. When opacity is reduced below 100% some background video is allowed to show through areas where it is normally excluded. Key opacity is an adjustment to the overall intensity of the key, and is separate from Clip and Gain controls.
-
Page 40: Linear Key
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.10.9 Linear Key A linear key typically uses separate key cut and key fill input signals that are intended to be used for linear keying. The key cut and key fill are usually anti-aliased (soft edged) shaped signals created by a character generator or graphics system. -
Page 41: Luminance Key And Self Key
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.10.10 Luminance Key and Self Key A luminance key uses the luminance of an incoming source to specify where to cut the hole in the background. The earlier example of a matte fill key is a type of luminance key. -
Page 42: Chroma Key
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.10.11 Chroma Key A chroma key is a key that detects color (rather than luminance) in a video image and replaces it with a new background. For example, a reporter may be in a studio sitting in front of a backdrop with a blue or green backing color, and the new background can be a mountain scene. -
Page 43: Primary And Secondary Color Suppression
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher Chroma keys are performed by suppressing the backing color in the foreground scene, cutting a hole in the background, and then combining the two processed signals. When conditions are ideal, complete suppression of the backing color is possible and the hole cut in the background will match the suppressed foreground, permitting these two signals to be added successfully. -
Page 44: Preset Pattern
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.10.15 Preset Pattern A preset pattern uses a wipe pattern generator, rather than an incoming key cut signal to define the hole cut in the background. Key clip and gain controls are not available for a preset pattern, but controls over the location, size, border, opacity, and edge softness are available. -
Page 45: Properly And Improperly Shaped Video
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher Split keys should normally treat the fill as unshaped since by definition a split key uses a fill that is not related to the cut, . that means the normal mode for keying is Luminance or Linear Key Mode. 2.10.17 Properly and Improperly Shaped Video The following illustrations show the results of using correctly and incorrectly shaped... -

Page 47: Figure 20 Incorrect Keying With Shaped Input
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher In this case the shaped input is incorrectly shaped again, sometimes called a double- multiply. Luminance Key was used for shaped key fill signal. Figure 20 Incorrect Keying with Shaped Input When the DPM provides an unshaped video output but the key is processed as though it were shaped, excessive luminance occurs where the key fill video and key hole edges overlap, producing a white halo around the key. -
Page 48: Figure 22 Incorrect Keying With Unshaped Key Fill
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher In this case the unshaped video fails to be shaped at all. Figure 22 Incorrect Keying with Unshaped Key Fill Recognizing the appearance of improperly shaped video helps you know how to correct the problem should it occur. User Manual... -
Page 49: 3-D Digital Effects Concepts
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.11 3-D Digital Effects Concepts The KayakDD Transform Engine options provide 3-D planar image translation and transformation from within each M/E of the KayakDD system. Image translation has special basic concepts and terminology you should understand in order to get the most out of using the option. -
Page 50: Figure 24 Rotate
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.11.1.2 Rotate Picture rotation about the reference axis in the X, Y, and Z dimensions (Figure 24). Rotate is limited to ± one half revolution, and will always take the shortest path to the new position. Rotate uses Quaternion math to calculate the move with increased accuracy. - Page 51 KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.11.1.4 Aspect Scaling the X or Y components of the picture. X axis changes affect horizontal size, Y axis changes affect vertical size (Figure 25). Z axis changes affect both X and Y dimensions, and is the same as Size. 2.11.1.5 Skew Slanting the picture in the X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) directions (Figure 25).

Page 52: 2.11.2 Axis Location
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.11.2 Axis Location The axis location of the channel determines the center point of translations, spins, and rotations for that channel. You can move the axis to a new location to change the behavior of that channel. The axis location can be within or outside the screen area. Z Axis Rotation at Different Axis Locations Figure 26 Frame of Reference Axis Locations... -
Page 53: 2.11.3 Source And Target Space
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.11.3 Source and Target Space The KayakDD Transform Engine uses source and target space frames of reference. • Source space for a control channel uses that channel’s coordinate system for reference. • Target space for a channel uses the next higher level’s coordinate system for reference. -
Page 54: Figure 29 Channel Translate With Global Rotated
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher If the channel is controlled by a global channel, and the global channel itself has been rotated, an X axis translation will depend on whether the channel itself or the global channel is being manipulated, and whether source or target space is being used (Figure 29 and Figure 30). -
Page 55: 2.11.4 Post Transform Space
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.11.4 Post Transform Space Post transform (Post Xform) is a special transform function that only affects size and location operations. It does not change the perspective of the image (Figure 31). This can be used as a convenient method to quickly project pictures onto new locations of the screen. -
Page 56: 2.11.5 Front And Back, Near And Far
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.11.5 Front and Back, Near and Far Pictures manipulated by a KayakDD Transform Engine have front and back sides, each of which is revealed in turn as the picture spins or rotates. After a picture has been translated it can be difficult to determine which side was originally on the front and which was originally on the back. -
Page 57: 2.11.7 Screen Coordinates
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.11.7 Screen Coordinates The KayakDD Transform Engine accommodates two different aspect ratios, 4 x 3 and 16 x 9, selectable via the Video Standards menu. In 4 x 3 mode, the screen is six units high and eight units wide. - Page 58 KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher For perspective calculations the factory default viewpoint places the viewer -16.67 screen units from the monitor screen surface (4 x 3 aspect ratio). In this case, moving a full screen image 16.67 screen units back behind the screen makes the picture appear half its normal size to the viewer.
-
Page 59: 2.11.8 Spin And Rotation Relationship
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.11.8 Spin and Rotation Relationship It is possible to use both Spin and Rotation at the same time in an effect. When both are used, the transforms are nested so that the values of one transform are applied after the previous transform values have been calculated. -
Page 60: 2.11.9 Path Control
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.11.9 Path Control 2.11.9.1 Paths Keyframes specify parameter values at specific times in an effect. Most of the duration of an effect, however, occurs between these keyframes. The KayakDD system interpolates parameter values between keyframes (in-betweening). The trajectory, or path, a manipulated picture travels between keyframes is determined by how these in-between values are interpolated. - Page 61 KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher The path concept can also be applied to functions that do not move a picture across the screen, like matte hue changes. For these functions, the rate of change of the parameter follows the same path types above. For example, an S-Linear hue rotation will accelerate and decelerate the speed of the hue change at the beginning and end of the keyframe.

Page 63: Tension Control
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.11.10 Tension Control In the example below, the keyframes comprise a right angle, so the TENSION control operates on a 45° line drawn through the keyframe. This line is referred to as the Tension Vector and is parallel to a line drawn between adjacent keyframes (Figure 37). The TENSION soft knob controls the length of the tension vector. -
Page 64: Figure 38 Tension Control Setting 1.0
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher Figure 38 Tension Control Setting 1.0 In the example below, the TENSION control has been set to -1.0. This lengthens the Tension vector, causing the path through the middle keyframe to be longer and broader (Figure 39). The longer path will appear to make the image speed up through KF2 as it travels from KF1 to KF3. -
Page 65: Continuity Control
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.11.11 Continuity Control The continuity adjustment determines the angle of the path into and out of the keyframe. It is represented by a vector 90 degrees to the tension vector (Figure 40). The unmodified path shown is identical to the unmodified path of the other controls. Figure 40 Continuity Control Setting Zero With continuity set to 1.0, the entry path through the keyframe is pulled positively along... -
Page 66: Figure 42 Continuity Control Setting - 1.0
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher With continuity set to -1.0, the paths between the keyframes become straight lines, accelerating into the keyframe and decelerating as it leaves the keyframe. Figure 42 Continuity Control Setting - 1.0 User Manual... -
Page 67: Bias Control
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.11.12 Bias Control The BIAS control determines whether the path will be pulled towards the previous or the following keyframe. With extreme settings, all of the biasing will occur either before or after KF2. With bias set to 0 (zero), the curve through the keyframe is gentle as shown in Figure 43. -
Page 68: Figure 44 Bias Control Setting 1.0
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher With the bias set to 1.0, the path is pulled towards the following keyframe. Entry into and exit from the keyframe is a straight line from the previous keyframe, and the path of the effect travels completely through KF2 before turning towards KF3. Figure 44 Bias Control Setting 1.0 With the bias set to -1.0, the path is pulled towards the previous keyframe. -
Page 69: Sure Touch
KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.11.13 Sure Touc “Sure Touch” changes th e way in which effects behave during recall and playback, roviding more control and flexibility. An effect can be safely recalled using two new modes which eliminate abrupt changes: hence the name “sure touch” is being used. When using a Sure Touch mode, the effect adapts itself to the switcher’s current state. - Page 70 KayakDD - Digital Production Switcher 2.11.13.2 Parallel Mode Example For example, suppose we have the following effect. • Effect 3: The channel is at 50% size and on screen in the upper left. It is moved off screen to the right. •...
