heart, and star wipes. All wipe types can be rotated, bordered, and repositioned. The
additional wipe generators are identical to the advanced wipe generators except that
unneeded matrix capability has been removed.
20 Matte Generators
Each MLE has three simple color generators and two complex ones capable of multi-color
washes. Any one of the color generators can be assigned to COLOR BKGD1 or 2, key fill
1 or 2, key border 1 or 2, or wipe pattern edges. Note that each MLE has its own
dedicated COLOR BKGD video inputs to make memory recalls of individual MLEs
simple and predictable.
UltraChrome Advanced Chroma Keying
Chroma keying is available to every keyer in the switcher - including DSK1 and DSK2.
The Synergy 4 MD-X is capable of putting up to four different UltraChrome chroma keys
on air at the same time. One “floating” UltraChrome chroma keyer per MLE, which is
easily assignable to either key 1 or key 2, comes standard.
The Ross UltraChrome™ (patent pending) uses advanced video processing technology to
provide exceptional blue spill reduction and clean edges, even with difficult source
material. Glass, smoke, translucent materials, and natural shadows are handled superbly.
Setup is a breeze with single-touch auto chroma keying and intuitive touch-up controls.
Chroma key shadows can either be extracted from the source image or simulated using the
switcher’s optional border generators.
4 FlexiClean™ MLE Clean Feed Outputs
Each MLE can have its own fully programmable clean feed output. This feature is used
for bilingual and live-to-tape productions. It provides a second “program” output that is
derived from a different location than the standard program output. A frequent
application is the recording of shows for later airing without “call in” phone numbers
inserted.
The clean feed output can come from before or between the keyers in the MLE. Each
MLE has its own, independently configured clean feed output separate from all other clean
feed outputs. The diagram below illustrates the possible clean feed configurations for
MLEs 1 through 4 inclusive.
