This option is only available on the PGM Bus. This option is normally used when Dolby-E is required to “pass-through” the 3025SW’s audio mixer. Any channel pairs that are configured for Data/Dolby will not transition with the rest of the channels; they will simply cut to avoid corruption of the encoded data stream.
Page 71: Transition Time
3025SW Master Control Switching & Channel Branding VO2: This is the ratio of VO2 audio that will be mixed when a voiceover (or combination of voiceovers) is applied. 100% means that 100% of VO2 audio will be mixed and 0% means that the VO2 audio component of the audio mix will be silent.
Page 72: Foreground Ratio
Foreground Ratio This option has been removed from the configuration. 4.6.8. Stores The 3025SW offers ten Audio Input Stores which can be applied to any bus. Not all settings apply to all buses. 4.7. AUDIO SHUFFLER This tab allows users to configure the audio shuffler. This allows the audio input channels (A1, A2, etc) to be mapped to the audio output channels.
Page 73 3025SW Master Control Switching & Channel Branding Voiceover 1: If VO1 is configured to take AES inputs then the shuffler will be 4 inputs by 16 outputs. If VO1 is configured to take AES AP inputs then the shuffler will be 4 inputs by 16 outputs.
Page 74: Figure 4-19: Voiceover Duck & Mix
3025SW Master Control Switching & Channel Branding Figure 4-19: Voiceover Duck & Mix This allows the user to configure the mixing and ducking channels for each voiceover. For the previous example (Figure 4-19), VO1 has been configured so that when VO1 is applied channels A1 to A8 of the PGM/PST audio will be ducked (to the level specified in the PGM/PST ratio setting in the Audio Input Defaults/Stores configuration tab).

If the control method is GPO then the corresponding GPO must be configured for “Manual GPO”. If the control method is Machine Control then the corresponding serial port should be configured for Sony VTR Protocol.
Page 124: Control Panels
The 3025SW system supports a range of manual control panels that can be used individually or in pairs. A system can consist of a single panel dedicated to a single 3025SW channel. Others can consist of a single (or multiple) control panels controlling multiple 3025SW and/or EMC channels. The 3025SW can be connected to various types of control panels (QMC-CP-E, QMC-CP-1000E, QMC-CP-2408E, QMC- DCP and EMC-DCP) to allow manual operation.
Page 125: Qmc-Cp-2048E
QMC-CP-2048E is logically associated with the QMC-CP-1000E or QMC-CP-E to allow for users to expand controls. As with all the control panels for the 3025SW, the LCD buttons are fully configurable to suit the customer application. The LCD buttons also offer different colours to show status.

Page 142: Primer On Creating Logos
7.1.2. Primer on Creating Logos The 3025SW hardware executes the keying and display of logos, however, the user is responsible for composing the image design. Unfortunately, the image created by the artist is not always generated the same when it is keyed into and displayed on the video. These following sections will introduce the user to some basic principles associated with keying graphical information on video.
Page 143 The overall transparency of the logo can be adjusted in three places: in the original key image, in the Overture™ software and in the 3025SW hardware. For best results, ensure the original key has the proper scaling, particularly when there are various regions of differing translucency.
Page 144 3025SW 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 145 3025SW Master Control Switching & Channel Branding The 3025SW 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. The minimum size is 512 pixels wide by 270 pixels high for the 1080i version of the Logo Inserter.
Page 146 7.1.2.9. Summary: Primer for Creating Logos The following is a summary of some of the guidelines for preparing a logo file to use on the 3025SW: 1. Best results are achieved when the user supplies both the fill and the key as two separate files.

7.5. NETWORK PANEL SETTINGS A very important step for creating a 3025SW system is to assign channels that will bring online and poll the panels. The 3025SW control panels require an EMC channel that will both upload the panel configuration and poll the panel to keep it online. The Network Panel Settings under the main EMC- Setup window allows the user to configure this control.
Page 165: Automation Control
7.6. AUTOMATION CONTROL The 3025SW can be connected to automation and scheduling systems to allow fully automatic operation. The Switcher currently supports a protocol based on the GVG/Tektronix M2100 protocol, which is Quartz RCP–37 protocol. This protocol has been tested with the following third party equipment:...
Page 166: Configuration
8.1. SETTING UP THE TEMPERATURE PROBE (+TP OPTION) The 3025SW is available with an optional temperature probe that is used to input data for display in a temperature logo. Consult the temperature probe manual for information on installing the temperature probe.
Page 167: Configuring The Eas (+E Optioned Units Only)
In order to insert the audio you will have to convert the analog audio from the decoder to AES and connect it to the AES Inputs of the 3025SW. See chapter 8.3 for more information on connecting and configuring the EAS decoder.
Page 168: Eas Decoder Interface (Eas Optioned Units Only)
8.3. EAS DECODER INTERFACE (EAS OPTIONED UNITS ONLY) The 3025SW with the EAS option fitted is the perfect solution for on-air insertion of channel branding bugs and Emergency Alert System messages. The 3025SW is designed to interface with serial port based EAS decoders and to Ethernet based EAS decoders.
Page 169: Connecting The Serial Port
Connect a straight-through RS232 cable (shipped with unit) to serial 3, 4 or 6 (if the additional AUX I/O breakout is connected to the 3025SW). The other end of the cable will connect to the EAS decoder. (See the section specific to your encoder manufacturer). For a permanent installation, you will require a custom length cable that fits between the EAS decoder unit and the 3025SW.
