Page 27: Section 2 - Concepts
Section Concepts 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. Several innovative concepts are employed in the Kayenne XL Package to enhance its operational speed and flexibility.
Page 28: Installation (Engineering Setups)
Section 2 — Concepts • Personality Setting (settings that give the operator the ability to cus- tomize his individual work surface to meet his personal preferences). All Kayenne XL Package settings are non-volatile. Disk save and load oper- ations are available via the display menu (Sidepanel) that enable users to store configuration information on the hard disk of a PC or on a movable media for easy transport and for use as backup copies.
Page 29: Personal Settings
Installation (Engineering Setups) • Safe title behavior • Video specifications (such as aspect ratio) • Various other suite functions Personal Settings Personal Settings enable users to customize a Kayenne XL Package control surface to suit their personal operational style. User Preferences do not change Kayenne XL Package capabilities.
Page 30: Signal Routing
Section 2 — Concepts Signal Routing Inputs and Sources Kayenne XL Package HD Incoming video signals are connected to the digtal video processor system via BNC connectors on the rear of the digital video processor frame. All inputs are serial digital (SMPTE 274M, SMPTE 296M, SMPTE RP211). Signals from external devices not operating in this standard will need to be converted.
Page 31: Key Memory
Signal Routing Source mapping is distinct from source definition, as source mapping only involves the location of sources on the control panel and does not affect the inputs or names defined for the sources. Note EMEM effects store Source IDs, not the source select buttons, so remapping sources does not change the appearance of recalled effects.
Page 32: Shifted Sources
Section 2 — Concepts These terms better reflect a system operating philosophy that is source rather than crosspoint based. The Kayak HD system does not directly associate a source select button with a physical crosspoint. The association goes first through source to button mapping, then through source definition to find the physical inputs.
Page 33: Source Scalars (Hd Only)
Signal Routing shifted buttons. A dedicated button is provided as the farthest right Shift crosspoint button (Crosspoint 15) for every bus. Two shift modes are avail- able: Normal and Latched. • In Normal mode, shifted or unshifted status of the bus is indicated by the state of the button light.
Page 34: Mix/Effects (M/E) Stage
Section 2 — Concepts Mix/Effects (M/E) Stage Each M/E of the Kayak HD system can create a composite of two or more pictures. It includes multiple source selection buses and provides transition (mix and wipe) and keying capabilities on the selected signals. The M/E can be organized with the keying circuitry separate from the mixing circuitry, which permits Effect Send capabilities (see Effects Send on...
Page 35: Utility Bus
Mix/Effects (M/E) Stage Utility). Providing individual source selection rows for each bus is imprac- tical, as the panel would become too large. For ease of use, Kayenne XL Package panels have alternate buses accessed by delegation, using Key and PVW/AUX delegation via the Miscellaneous Bus selection subpanels. Utility Bus Besides the standard A and B background inputs, each Kayenne XL Package also accepts two Utility inputs.
Page 36: Kayenne Xl Package Outputs
Section 2 — Concepts Kayenne XL Package Outputs Video production switchers generate several different video outputs (such as Program, Preview, AUX buses, and others). A final program output (Main or DSK) is typically sent to the transmitter for broadcast and/or to output devices for recording.
Page 37: Transition
Transition Transition A transition is a change from one image to another. The Kayak HD system supports three basic types of transitions: • Cut • Mix • Wipe • DPM (optional) A transition can be applied to the entire picture, or to only the background or keyed elements of the picture, and can include multiple elements.
Page 38 Section 2 — Concepts Figure 5. Normal and FAM Mixes FAM transitions first fade a new picture to full intensity and then fade the old picture out, but both full intensity pictures are mixed together to the output during the transition. The resulting signal is clipped at white level to prevent generating illegal video.
Page 39: Additive Transition
Additive Transition Additive Transition As of software version V694, Kayenne XL Package features the Additive Transition mode. Additive Transition (ADD) is a special mix transition that Kayenne XL Package supports besides normal crossfade transitions. Picture elements in Additive Transitions are composited differently through the time of the transition.
Page 40: Other Wipe Pattern Generator Uses
Section 2 — Concepts bus video signals can also be used to generate a custom pattern for a wipe transition or other purposes. Other Wipe Pattern Generator Uses Wipe pattern generator circuitry can be used for purposes that do not involve transitions.
Page 41: Look Ahead Preview
Additive Transition next source on the lower bus without disturbing the source selected on the on-air upper bus. For example, if a transition begins with source 1 on Background A and goes to source 2 on Background B, as soon at the transition to source 2 completes, source 2 will be taken to the Background A bus (without disturbing the output of the M/E).
Page 42: Half M/E And Dsk Option
Section 2 — Concepts behind those with higher key priorities. The backgrounds always have the lowest priority. Changes in key priority can be included as a part of a tran- sition. Like any other transition, the current stack will transition to the key priority of the next stack.
Page 43: Keying
Keying Keying Keying inserts part of one picture into another to create a composite pic- ture. Keying involves three signals: • Background, • Key cut, used to specify where to cut a hole in the background, and • Key fill, used to fill the hole in the background. The fill can be an incoming video signal or it can be an internally generated matte fill.
Page 44: Shaping Video
Section 2 — Concepts Figure 7. Matte Fill Luminance Keying Example Background LOG O LOGO LOG O LOGO Key Cut Background with Matte Key Inserted Key Fill In this keying discussion illustrations rather than actual screen images are used for simplicity, and because the printing process has difficulty cap- turing the subtleties of soft key edges.
Page 45: Key Control Signal Adjustment
Keying See the section on Properly and Improperly Shaped Video on page 54 for more information. Note that an unshaped signal viewed directly will show harsh edge arti- facts due to dividing by a small number. This is normal and expected. Keying this signal will clean up its appearance.
Page 46: High Gain, Low Gain, And Unity Gain
Section 2 — Concepts down without affecting Gain, which is adjusted separately with its own Gain control. High Gain, Low Gain, and Unity Gain A high gain key has a narrow range, creating harder key edges. A low gain key has a wider range, creating softer key edges. Linear keys typically use minimal gain (also called unity gain) to completely preserve the soft edges of the keys (Figure...

Keying Figure 10. Key Hi, Clip Lo vs. Clip and Gain Clip Hi Gain Clip Clip Lo Key Cut Signal In this mode, Gain changes when either control is adjusted. The difference between the upper and lower keying thresholds is equivalent to gain: •...
Page 48: Additional Keying Controls
Section 2 — Concepts S-shaping is generally not applied to linear keys because the external device usually applies an S-shaping function when it generates the key cut and key fill signals. S-shaping should not be applied twice. Additional Keying Controls The following additional controls are available for keying.
Page 49: Coring
Keying Coring Coring helps reduce video noise in chroma keys. Coring is used when a key fill signal has noise in areas that are supposed to be transparent. When noise exists in these areas, it can appear in the background portion of the keyed composite.

Linear Keying LOG O LOGO Key Hole in Background Background Video Invert LOG O LOGO LOG O LOGO Key Cut Key Control (typically unchanged) Clip Gain LOGO Completed Linear Key LOGO Key Fill Note The soft edges in the illustrations in this part of the manual are simulated.
Page 51: Luminance Key And Self Key
Keying 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. Luminance keying is typically done on sources that do not have an accompanying key cut signal, like a video camera.
Page 52: Chroma Key
Section 2 — Concepts 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 53: Primary And Secondary Color Suppression
Keying Chroma keys are performed by suppressing the backing color in the fore- ground 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 suc- cessfully.
Page 54: Preset Pattern
Section 2 — Concepts Shadow offset, range, and density controls are also available that offer control over the placement and appearance of the added shadow. 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.
Page 55 Keying DPM’s key signal, fill video that has been set as a shaped output, and fill video set as unshaped is shown in Figure 19 on page Figure 16. Video and Key Signals from DPM When the shaping is done properly (using either shaped (Additive Key) or unshaped (Luminance Key) key fill), the desired output is the result (Figure 13 on page 51).

Page 60: Rotate
Section 2 — Concepts Rotate Picture rotation about the reference axis in the X, Y, and Z dimensions (Figure 23). Rotate is limited to ± one half revolution, and will always take the shortest path to the new position. Rotate uses Quaternion mathematics to calculate the move with increased accuracy.
Page 61: Skew
3-D Digital Effects Concepts Skew Slanting the picture in the X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) directions (Figure 24). Perspective Changing the viewer’s apparent viewpoint of a picture. This only applies when a picture is tilted so part of it is farther from the viewer. The farther portion appears smaller than the closer portion, and the amount of perspective controls how much smaller the distant part is (Figure 24 on page...
Page 62 Section 2 — Concepts Being able to use both source and target space can help make effects editing easier. One frame of reference may offer a simple and easy to understand context for a picture transform, while in another frame of reference the same transform may be difficult to understand and control.

Page 64: Front And Back, Near And Far
Section 2 — Concepts All post transform functions are made relative to the monitor screen frame of reference. For example, a positive X post transform always moves to the right side of the screen. Front and Back, Near and Far Pictures manipulated by a Kayak HD Digital Picture Manipulator have front and back sides, each of which is revealed in turn as the picture spins or rotates.
Page 65: Screen Coordinates
3-D Digital Effects Concepts Screen Coordinates The Kayenne XL Package Digital Picture Manipulator 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. In 16 x 9 mode, the screen is 18 units high and 32 units wide.
Page 66: Size
Section 2 — Concepts 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. Size Picture size is defined relative to picture screen units. A size of 0.50 indi- cates a picture is one-half its full size in linear edge measures.
Page 67 3-D Digital Effects Concepts This nesting provides increased control of the effect dynamics. Source and Target space also affects the transform nesting order. Figure 33. Spin and Rotate Transform Nesting Spin Rotate Rotate Spin Source Source Target Target Kayenne XL Package — User Manual...
Page 68: Path Control
Section 2 — Concepts Path Control Paths Keyframes specify parameter values at specific times in an effect. Most of the duration of an effect, however, occurs between these keyframes. The Kayak HD 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 69: Tension, Continuity, And Bias Controls
3-D Digital Effects Concepts 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 70: Path Vectors
Section 2 — Concepts Path Vectors With respect to the path between keyframes, each keyframe is made up of three vector parameters as shown below. The soft knob controls act on these vector parameters to adjust the path into (entry) and out of (exit) the key- frame.
Page 71: Tension Control
3-D Digital Effects Concepts 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 36).
Page 72 Section 2 — Concepts Figure 37. Tension Control Setting 1.0 No Tension Vector Tension = 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 key- frame to be longer and broader (Figure 38).
Page 73: Continuity Control
3-D Digital Effects Concepts 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 39). The unmodified path shown is identical to the unmodified path of the other controls.
Page 74 Section 2 — Concepts 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 41. Continuity Control Setting - 1.0 Continuity Vector – Continuity = -1.0 Kayenne XL Package —...
Page 75: Bias Control
3-D Digital Effects Concepts 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 Note...
Page 76 Section 2 — Concepts 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.
Page 77: Sure Touch
3-D Digital Effects Concepts Sure Touch Sure Touch changes the way in which effects behave during recall and play- back, providing 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.
Page 78: Parallel Mode Example
Section 2 — Concepts 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. • Keyframe 1: locate X = -2.0, locate Y = 1.0, size = 50%. Keyframe 2: locate X = 8.0.
Page 79: Converge Mode Example
3-D Digital Effects Concepts Converge Mode Example Sure touch converge mode begins in the same way as parallel mode, but the effect converges to the absolute end state of the effect over the course of the effect. • Effect 2: Starts with the image centered and 30% size. Image is spun off screen to the right and down •...
