  • Page 31: Video Signal Flow

    Video Signal Flow The basic video signal flow (Figure 11 on page 32) of the Kayak system has been designed for operational flexibility. For example, all the outputs from the M/E are routed back to the video crosspoint matrix, making all these signals accessible to the entire system.

    The Kayak Digital Production Switcher is designed for operational flexi- bility, and can be configured to fit various applications. Different Kayak systems can have different capabilities, or the same Kayak system can be re- configured to have different capabilities at different times.

  • Page 36: Installation (Engineering Setups)

    • Personality Setting (settings that give the operator the ability to cus- tomize his individual work surface to meet his personal preferences). All Kayak settings are non-volatile. Disk save and load operations are available via the Sidepanel Program that allows users to store configura- tion information on the hard disk of a PC or on a movable media for easy transport and for use as backup copies.

  • Page 37: Personal Settings

    Kayak HD Incoming video signals are connected to the Kayak HD system via BNC connectors on the rear of the Kayak HD Digital 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 38: Kayak Dd

    Kayak HD system can control (Router, DPM, DDR). For a Kayak HD Digital Production Switcher, the term source refers to all the video signals and other attributes associated with a device. This is a funda- mental concept. The Kayak HD system is based on sources, not input signals or crosspoints.

  • Page 39: Button Assignment (Source To Button Mapping)

    For details on how to assign sources to buttons please refer to the Kayak Installation and Service Manual. Note E-MEM effects store Source IDs, not the source select buttons, so remapping sources does not change the appearance of recalled effects.
  • Page 40 For a Kayak system, the terms source button and source bus will be used. These terms better reflect a system operating philosophy that is source rather than crosspoint based.

  • Page 41: Shifted Sources

    For example, on the Kayak HD-100 system, up to 28 sources can be mapped at one time, 14 to the unshifted source selection, and 14 to the shifted but- tons.

  • Page 42: Mix/Effects (M/E) Stage

    Section 2 — Concepts Mix/Effects (M/E) Stage Each M/E of the Kayak system can create a composite of two or more pic- tures. It includes multiple source selection buses and provides transition (mix and wipe) and keying capabilities on the selected signals.

  • Page 43: Utility Bus

    Mix/Effects (M/E) Stage The Kayak system M/E actually has four keyers, each handling a fill and a key signal, and it can accept three background sources (A, B, and Utility). Providing individual source selection rows for each bus is impractical, as the panel would become too large.

  • Page 44: Kayak Hd Outputs

    AUX Bus outputs may also be used for special purposes. Kayak HD AUX Busses and Output Assignments Kayak HD switchers provide 12 outputs per M/E. This means you can have up to 24 outputs in the compact frame and up to 48 in the large frame.

  • Page 45: Resource Sharing And Point Of Use

    However, changing the pattern shape affects both locations. Transition A transition is a change from one image to another. The Kayak system sup- ports three basic types of transitions: • Cut •...

  • Page 46: Cut

    Full Additive Mix Full Additive Mix (FAM) is a special mix transition that the Kayak system supports besides normal crossfade transitions. Picture elements in FAM transitions are composited differently through the time of the transition.

  • Page 47: Wipes

    (position, aspect ratios, edge attributes, etc.). Each Kayak M/E has two separate transition wipe systems, each of which can be assigned a different wipe pattern and be adjusted independently. These systems can each use one of the two available complex wipe pattern generators with advanced capabilities.

  • Page 48: Transition Rate

    It is also possible to manually control transitions using a lever arm. On the Kayak system, one transition rate can be assigned to the main tran- sition of the M/E. This type of transition can be controlled by that M/E’s lever arm.

  • Page 49: Key Priority And Transitions

    Key Priority and Transitions The four keyers on a Kayak M/E can be assigned priorities. This deter- mines the layering of the keys. The highest priority key appears on top, while keyers with lower priority may be partially or fully hidden behind those with higher key priorities.

  • Page 50: Matte Fill Key Example

    • Linear Key • Chroma Key • Preset Pattern The Kayak system also supports self keys and split keys. 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 51: Shaping Video

    Video shaped with a different key cut signal will not key correctly. The appropriate key mode for this type of signal is the Linear key or Lumi- nance Key. Kayak — User Manual...

  • Page 52: Key Control Signal Adjustment

    Gain to suppress any imperfections in the incoming key signals. Setting Gain too high can cause ragged key edges. The Kayak system provides two methods for adjusting the key control signal, Clip and Gain, and Clip Hi and Clip Lo. Note that the same basic keying process is controlled by either of these methods.

  • Page 53: High Gain, Low Gain, And Unity Gain

    Low Gain Unity Gain On the Kayak 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 54: S-Shaped Key Signals

    Low changes both Clip and Gain, not just Gain. S-Shaped Key Signals On the Kayak system, an S-shaping function is applied to the edges of lumi- nance 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 55: Additional Keying Controls

    (typically a key fill signal delivered via the Utility bus). With the Kayak RAM Recorder (Still Store), the mask signal can be a frozen page of video or a key fill. Complex mask shapes are often easier to draw by hand than to create with multiple wipe patterns.

  • Page 56: Coring

    (watermarks). The level of the key cut signal determines where and how deeply the hole will be cut into the background. The intended soft edge and translucency of the key can then be faithfully reproduced. Kayak — User Manual...
  • Page 57 The soft edges in the illustrations in this part of the manual are simulated. The key edges are actually gradients, which allows these edges to blend smoothly with the background. In the Kayak System the Linear Key is just a special parameter setup of the Luminance Key...

  • Page 58: Luminance Key And Self Key

    (video only) Luminance Key Key Fill Clip and Gain (or Clip Hi/Lo) controls for luminance keys offer wide adjustment ranges. On the Kayak system, an S-shaping function is also applied to the edges of luminance keys. Kayak — User Manual...

  • Page 59: Chroma Key

    Background refers to the scene that will replace the backing color (same as a linear or luminance key) in the final picture. Background does not refer to the back- drop of the foreground scene. Kayak — User Manual...

  • Page 60: Primary And Secondary Color Suppression

    This is called an additive chroma key (used when the Kayak system Fore- ground Reshaping feature is off). When conditions do not permit adequate backing color suppression, the foreground with its backing color sup- pressed can be multiplied by the keying signal to prevent contaminating areas of the background outside the keyed area.

  • Page 61: Preset Pattern

    Pattern Key Cut Background with Preset Pattern Inserted Key Fill Split Key A split key uses an alternative key cut signal for keying. On the Kayak system, a key split is performed by holding down the button and Key Split selecting the desired key cut signal.

  • Page 62: Properly And Improperly Shaped Video

    Figure 27. 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 24 on page 58). Figure 28. Correctly Shaped DPM Key Example Kayak — User Manual...
  • Page 63 When the DPM provides an unshaped video output but the key is pro- cessed 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. Additive Key was used for unshaped key fill signal. Kayak — User Manual...

  • Page 64: Downstream Keyers (Half M/E And Dsk Option)

    (as part of the Half M/E and DSK Upgrade). These DSKs can be coupled to any M/E in the system to operate downstream of that M/E. The DSKs do not support chroma keys or DPM effects. Kayak — User Manual...

  • Page 65: Flexible Chroma Keyers

    3-D Digital Effects Concepts The Kayak Digital Picture Manipulator options provide 3-D planar image translation and transformation from within each M/E of the Kayak system. Image translation has special basic concepts and terminology you should understand in order to get the most out of using the option.

  • Page 66: Rotate

    Scaling the X or Y components of the picture. X axis changes affect hori- zontal size, Y axis changes affect vertical size (Figure 35). Z axis changes affect both X and Y dimensions, and is the same as Size. Kayak — User Manual...

  • Page 67: Skew

    Axis Off Screen Center of Picture Center of Picture Source and Target Space The Kayak Digital Picture Manipulator uses source and target space frames of reference. • Source space for a control channel uses that channel’s coordinate system for reference.
  • Page 68 Section 2 — Concepts same transform may be difficult to understand and control. Kayak Digital Picture Manipulator effects can also employ both source and target space directed transforms simultaneously, which can create complex and beau- tiful effects. The simplest example for source and target space concerns a channel that has been rotated while the global channel remains unchanged.

  • Page 70: Front And Back, Near And Far

    This distinction can be important when, for example, different sources are being selected for different sides of an effect. The Kayak system uses a Near and Far convention to ease system opera- tion.
