Specifications
The Engineering menu Input submenu Effects Loop Inputs softkey has
two pushknobs that select DVE video and key inputs. Note that there
are independent settings for DVE 1 and DVE 2, to support two pairs of
Aux outputs as described above. Entering the input numbers for the
DVE(s) here tells the 8150 that, when it is performing an Effects Loop,
the re-entry video and key from the DVE is returning at the selected
inputs. The 8150 then compensates for these delayed sources by delaying
its automatic input timing window by the same amount for just those
two inputs. It then routes these two inputs back to the same points in the
M/E Processor or PGM/PST/DSK Processor from which the original
signals left.
If you are using two DVEs, you may also be using a video combiner to
composite the outputs of the two DVEs together before re-entry to the
8150. If this is so, the two DVEs must be locked to the same reference.
However, if DVE 1 is locked to the 8150’s main Aux Ref output, and DVE
2 is locked to the Aux Ref 2 output, they may not be cotimed to each
other. This is why the Combiner pushknob appears in this submenu.
Combiner Off is the default mode; it lets the timing of Aux 1 and 2
outputs be different from that of the Aux 3 and 4 outputs. Combiner On
forces all Aux outputs to match the delay of those Aux outputs, and
therefore the Aux Ref outputs, used in the current Effects Loop. Note
also that if you are using a video combiner with two DVEs, one pair of
