These following sections will introduce the user to some basic principles associated with keying graphical information on video.
  • Page 156 3025EMC Master Control Switching & Channel Branding 7.1.2.1. Introduction The user will require two items in order to insert an image into the video. One is the image or artwork to be displayed, called the “fill”. The second is a black and white image, called a “key”, that is used to tell the hardware where to display the image and where to display the background or video signal.
  • Page 157 3025EMC Master Control Switching & Channel Branding If the image does not have an associated key file, the Overture™ software enables the user to select a colour to use as a match colour (chroma key). All areas of the logo with this colour will have a translucent/drop shadow effect.
  • Page 158 3025EMC Master Control Switching & Channel Branding The EMC hardware has minimum image memory sizes. If the user maintains within one memory block size, it will maximize the number of logos that can be held in the hardware.

    7.3. MACROS The 3025EMC offers a feature called Macros. Macros allow users to define a timeline of actions and assign it to a macro number. This macro number can be recalled using the control panel, automation or GPI. The macro is an ideal tool to simplify a number of secondary events into a single action that can be used by either automation or operators.

    This will configure encoder 1 and encoder 2 (PGM & CLN) to use metadata from the DE decoders. Note that during a transition the 3025EMC will use the metadata from the PST path decoder. This is managed automatically by the 3025EMC, however the PST Meta 1 input does need to be configured correctly (as per the above table) to ensure that the correct metadata is used during a transition.
