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.

Page 35: 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 KayakDigital Production Switcher to enhance its operational speed and flexibility.
Page 36: 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 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
Signal Routing • Safe title behavior • Video specifications (such as aspect ratio) • Various other suite functions Personal Settings Personal Settings allow users to customize a Kayak control surface to suit their personal operational style. User Preferences do not change Kayak system capabilities.
Page 38: Kayak Dd
Section 2 — Concepts For example, a character generator usually provides a signal with two com- ponents (commonly called video and key). Some incoming signals may also originate from devices the 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.
Page 39: Button Assignment (Source To Button Mapping)
Signal Routing Button Assignment (Source to Button Mapping) Source to button mapping makes it possible to organize sources on Kayak control panels to suit your personal preferences. For example, cameras can be grouped into a set of buttons on the left side or the right side of a button row, or in any way that is desired or convenient.
Page 40 Section 2 — Concepts Buttons on a control panel can be used to control the switching of cross- points. The buttons are usually arranged horizontally, making it easy to imagine the available signals coming in from the top, and the single bus output signal going out the right side.
Page 41: Shifted Sources
Signal Routing Shifted Sources An operator may need to quickly access many sources during a production. However, a control panel has size limitations, since all the source selection buttons must remain within reach. The Kayak system provides shifted buttons to allow access to more input sources from the control panel. 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. The M/E can be organized with the keying circuitry separate from the mixing circuitry, which permits Effect Send capabilities (see Effects Send page 43...
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
Section 2 — Concepts Kayak HD Outputs Video production switchers generate several different video outputs (such as Program, Preview, AUX busses, 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 45: Resource Sharing And Point Of Use
Resource Sharing and Point Of Use The KayakDD system has 1 dedicated BNC output connector per aux bus. Resource Sharing and Point Of Use The Kayak 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 transi- tion, as a preset pattern, as a mask, or at other points of use.
Page 46: Cut
Section 2 — Concepts A cut is an instantaneous switch from one image to another (between suc- cessive video fields or frames). The simplest type is a hot cut, accomplished by selecting a different source on a bus feeding an M/E output. This only changes that bus’s contribution to the output, and does not change what elements may be involved in the output (the same buses are involved).
Page 47: Wipes
Transition 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 48: Transition Rate
Section 2 — Concepts Transition Rate Cut transitions are instantaneous, but mix and wipe transitions have dura- tions. Transition durations can be set in advance to a specific transition rate, and be initiated by pressing a button on the control panel. It is also possible to manually control transitions using a lever arm.
Page 49: Key Priority And Transitions
Keying from mixing Key 1 off, Key 2 on, and mixing between A and B at the same time, which would cause the keys to go transparent over their background during the transition. On the Kayak system, opacity is retained throughout the transition, so midway through this example Key 1 remains fully keyed over Background A, and Key 2 is fully keyed over Background B.
Page 50: Matte Fill Key Example
Section 2 — Concepts 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 51: Shaping Video
Keying Figure 18. 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 52: Key Control Signal Adjustment
Section 2 — Concepts See the section on Properly and Improperly Shaped Video on page 62 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 53: High Gain, Low Gain, And Unity Gain
Keying Clip and Gain control is appropriate for high gain keys (see below), to easily adjust where the relatively hard transition from background to fill occurs. In this mode, changing the Clip control moves the threshold up and down without affecting Gain, which is adjusted separately with its own Gain control.
Page 54: S-Shaped Key Signals
Section 2 — Concepts Figure 21. 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 55: Additional Keying Controls
Keying 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. Key Invert Keys can be inverted, causing holes to be cut in the background where a normal key retains the background, and vice versa.
Page 56: Coring
Section 2 — Concepts 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. The key edges are actually gradients, which allows these edges to blend smoothly with the background.
Page 58: Luminance Key And Self Key
Section 2 — Concepts 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 59: Chroma Key
Keying 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 60: Primary And Secondary Color Suppression
Section 2 — Concepts 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 61: Preset Pattern
Keying 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. Key clip and gain con- trols are not available for a preset pattern, but controls over the location, size, border, opacity, and edge softness are available.
Page 62: Properly And Improperly Shaped Video
Section 2 — Concepts Properly and Improperly Shaped Video The following illustrations show the results of using correctly and incor- rectly shaped video. In these examples, the video fill comes from a DPM that provides both a key signal and a fill video signal (a linear key). The DPM’s key signal, fill video that has been set as a shaped output, and fill video set as unshaped is shown in Figure 30 on page...

Page 66: Rotate
Section 2 — Concepts Rotate Picture rotation about the reference axis in the X, Y, and Z dimensions (Figure 34). Rotate is limited to ± one half revolution, and will always take the shortest path to the new position. Rotate uses Quaternion math to cal- culate the move with increased accuracy.
Page 67: Skew
3-D Digital Effects Concepts Skew Slanting the picture in the X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) directions (Figure 35). 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 35 on page...
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
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 Digital Picture Manipulator have front and back sides, each of which is revealed in turn as the picture spins or rotates.
Page 71: Screen Coordinates
3-D Digital Effects Concepts Screen Coordinates The Kayak 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 72: Size
Section 2 — Concepts 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 73: Spin And Rotation Relationship
3-D Digital Effects Concepts 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 calcu- lated.
Page 74: 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 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 75: 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 76: 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 77: 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 47).
Page 78 Section 2 — Concepts Figure 48. 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 49).
Page 79: 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 50). The unmodified path shown is identical to the unmodified path of the other controls.
Page 80 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 52. Continuity Control Setting - 1.0 Continuity Vector – Continuity = -1.0 Kayak —...
Page 81: 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 82 Section 2 — Concepts Figure 54. Bias Control Setting 1.0 Entry Bias Tension Vector Bias = 1.0 With the bias set to -1.0, the path is pulled towards the previous keyframe. Entry into and exit from the keyframe is a straight line to the following key- frame.
Page 83: 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 84: 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 85: 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 •...
Page 86 Section 2 — Concepts Now suppose the starting image is moved up and right and then effect 2 is recalled with sure touch “converge” mode. The result would appear as shown here. The effect converges towards the original effect over the dura- tion of the effect.
Page 87: Comparing Parallel And Converge Modes
3-D Digital Effects Concepts Comparing Parallel and Converge Modes Suppose we have an effect 5 which is as follows: • Effect 5: The channel is 5% size, off screen to the left, and moves in a sweeping path towards the lower left screen and finally ending in upper right at 25% size.

Transition Control Performing Transitions Auto Trans buttons and the Transition Lever Arm are used to perform main transitions. After a transition completes, the background source selections flip-flop, readying the PST bus for the next source selec- tion. The progress of a transition is indicated by the up and down arrows to the left of the lever arms.
Page 100: Transition Preview
Section 3 — Control Panels The transition type can be changed when the M/E has reached its first preset black stage, allowing for example a wipe to and a mix from preset black. While in preset black, the key ON indicators report the states the keys will have when the second transition command completes.

In the Default Mode the switcher behavior is closer to that of the Kalypso/Zodiak line of Grass Valley switchers. The DD Mode follows the E-MEM methods used by the Kayak DD line of switchers. One of the big differences between DD and Default modes is that KayakDD switchers have an Edit mode that must be activated before a Timeline can be edited.
Page 121: E-Mem - Dd Mode Of Operation
Effects Subpanel A third difference is that in Default Mode (Kalypso/Zodiak), keyframes are always inserted behind the cursor ( ), while in DD Mode, they are Insert After inserted before the cursor position ( Insert Before ). In Default Mode both methods are available with Insert After being the default.

These areas can be take on some of the backing color. Much less secondary suppression will be needed than is used for primary suppression, because the foreground color is only partially corrupted by the backing color.
