Introduction Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions This manual is the User’s Guide for the DVS-9000/9000SF Production Switcher system supporting the SDTV signal format only. The DVS-9000 and DVS-9000SF have different numbers of M/E banks and input/output signals, but are otherwise functionally identical. This manual refers to these generically as the “DVS-9000 system,” and describes principally the operation of the system using the CCP-8000 series of center control panels.
System configuration and features Term for system A system in which the center control panel has 4M/E system four M/E banks A system in which the center control panel has 3M/E system three M/E banks A system in which the center control panel has 2M/E system two M/E banks Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Related manuals The following manuals are supplied with the individual products of the DVS9000 Production Switcher system.
Features of the DVS-9000 Production Switcher System Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions The DVS-9000 Production Switcher system boasts extensible high performance and multifunctionality. The following are some of the principal features of this system. System configuration flexibility SDTV support This system supports the SDTV signal formats 480i/59.94 and 576i/50. The format selection can be switched by a simple control panel operation.
Powerful frame memory functions The frame memory can store 222 frames, and up to eight of these can be recalled simultaneously. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Link operation with DME Using the BKDS-9470 DME Bord Set, a range of DME functions including DME wipes and processed keys can be handled as switcher functions. The system can interface with up to four DME units.
Video Processing Flow The following illustration shows the flow of operations for carrying out a transition on an M/E bank or the PGM/PST bank.
Signal Selection Source name displays Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions You carry out signal selection with the cross-point buttons in the cross-point control block of each M/E bank or the PGM/PST bank, and the buttons in the auxiliary bus control block. The number of buttons in each cross-point row may be 16, 24, or 32, but here the description is of the 32-button case as an example.
Basics of Signal Selection Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Each of the M/E bank, PGM/PST bank and auxiliary bus control block has 32 cross-point buttons and three reentry buttons (four in the case of the auxiliary bus control block). These buttons are identified by numbers common to all of the banks and block, and a signal is assigned to each number. The basis of signal selection is to select, in a cross-point button row, the crosspoint button to which is assigned the desired signal.
Bank Bus name Cross-point button row Delegation operation PGM/PST Program bus Program row − Preset bus Preset row − DSK 1 bus DSK1 row Turn off the [DSK3] button DSK 2 bus DSK2 row Turn off the [DSK4] button DSK 3 bus DSK1 row Turn on the [DSK3] button DSK 4 bus DSK2 row Turn on the [DSK4] button Utility 1 bus Background A row Utility 2 bus Background B row When [UTIL] button mode is Hold, hold down the [UTIL] button DME external video bus Key 1 row Hold down the [UTIL] button
Bank Bus name Cross-point button row Delegation operation Auxiliary bus control block AUX1 to AUX48 buses 1st row, 2nd row Turn on the appropriate buttons in accordance with the signal assignment made in the Setup menu.
In addition to the signals input to the PRIMARY INPUTS 1 to 80 connectors on the rear panel of the switcher, you can also select signals generated within the switcher. Each button has assigned to it a video signal and a key signal, forming a pair. You can set these video and key combinations in a Setup menu. For details of Setup menu operations, see “Cross-Point Settings (Xpt Assign Menu)” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2).

Signal Name Display Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions You can attach a name (source name) to each signal assigned to a cross-point button, with a maximum of 16 characters. • The source name displays in the cross-point control block and auxiliary bus control block show the source names of the video signals assigned to numbers 1 to 31. • To display the source names for numbers 32 to 62, press the [SHIFT] button to the right of the source name displays.
Transitions In the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank, the switch from the current video stream (appearing on the corresponding program monitor) to a new video stream is referred to as a transition. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Selecting the Next Transition To execute a transition, it is first necessary to decide how the image will be changed as a result of the transition.
Inserting and deleting a key You can insert one or more of the four keys (downstream keys on the PGM/ PST bank). If you select a key which is already inserted, the transition will delete the key. A simultaneous combination of deleting and inserting keys is also possible.
Simultaneously changing the background and keys You can change any of the four keys (downstream keys on the PGM/PST bank) and the background at the same time.
The key priority values go from 1 to 4, with a higher priority key being “in front” as seen on the screen. 3 1 Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions 4 2 Priority sequence on the screen Independent Key Transitions What is an independent key transition? In addition to common transitions, it is possible to carry out independent transitions on the keyers of the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank. These are called “independent key transitions.
Effect of a common transition In the case shown in the above illustration, carrying out a common transition produces the following change in the image. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Transition type: wipe Same wipe is applied to background and key. Effect of a common transition Effect of use with an independent key transition The key is inserted with an independent key transition as the background changes with a common transition, providing the following result.
Wipe and mix (dissolve) are carried out simultaneously Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Simultaneous execution If the [AUTO TRANS] buttons for the two transitions are pressed simultaneously, the following is the result. Note that in both cases the common transition is a wipe and the independent key transition is a mix (dissolve). Deleting a key with simultaneous transitions: With the key inserted, it is deleted simultaneously with the two transitions.
Time offset execution with the key inserted: With the key inserted, it is deleted with the two transitions acting with a time offset. Whichever button is pressed first, when the common transition completes, even if the independent key transition is still not completed, the two end simultaneously.
Example 1: When the independent key transition [AUTO TRANS] button is pressed later The transition completes with the key deleted. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Independent key transition (mix) start Common transition (wipe) start Example 2: When the common transition [AUTO TRANS] button is pressed later Independent key transition (mix) start Common transition (wipe) start The transition completes with the key deleted.
NAM (non-additive mix) In this dissolve, the current video and new video signals are compared, and the signal with the higher luminance level is given priority in the output. The current video is maintained at 100% output for the first half of the transition as the new video increases progressively to 100%, then the current video is progressively reduced from 100% to zero in the second half with the new video maintained at 100% output.
When only the background is changed Current video Color matte New video Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Preset color mix (changing background only) When a key is inserted Key fades out Key When a key is selected as the next transition When no key is selected Key fades in Preset color mix (transition including key) By means of a Setup menu setting, it is possible to preserve the key state while carrying out the color matte mix.
DME wipe Using a DME effect, it is possible to obtain a transition to a new image from the current image, as in a wipe. You can also use this transition type as an independent key transition. For details, see “DME Wipes” (page 68) and Chapter 6 “DME Wipes” (page 331). Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Note To carry out DME wipes requires the BKDS-9470 DME Board Set. Cut A cut switches instantaneously from the current video to the new video.
Manual transitions Using the fader lever, you can manually control the progress of the transition. Moving the fader lever from one end of its travel to the other completes the transition. Flip-flop mode and bus fixed mode Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions The following describes the difference between flip-flop mode and bus fixed mode, taking an M/E bank as an example; the functionality is the same, however, on the PGM/PST bank.
Transition preview With the preview output of the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank, you can check the effect of a transition in advance. To carry out a transition preview, press the [TRANS PVW] button in the transition control block. (See “Transition Preview” (page 247).) Note Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions In multi-program mode, DSK mode (page 152) or bus fixed mode (page 43), it is not possible to carry out a transition preview.
For details of the setting, see “Settings Relating to Video Switching (Transition Menu)” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2).
Keys Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions A key is an effect in which a part of the background image is replaced by an image or superimposed text. The signal determining how the background is cut out is termed “key source,” and the signal that replaces the cut-out part is termed “key fill.” The system component responsible for processing a key is referred to as a keyer. Each M/E bank and the PGM/PST bank has four keyers, and all of these keyers provide the same functions.
Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Clean mode In a luminance key, linear key or color vector key, you can enable the clean mode. When the clean mode is on, the key source does not affect the key fill, which is added unchanged to the background. This improves the keyed image quality, but means that the part of the key fill signal which is not to be inserted must be completely black, or it will color the background. You set the clean mode with the Type menu of the respective keyer.
Normal mix: The foreground is cut out with the key signal, and then combined with the background, which has also been cut out with the key signal. Additive mix: The background, which has been cut out with the key signal, is combined with the unshaped foreground. This is effective for a naturallooking composite when the scene includes glass or other translucent objects.
Angle a) Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Reference color specified by Hue setting Crop a) Range of colors remaining as foreground Range of colors creating the key signal (to be replaced by background signal) a) The Crop and Angle values do not change even if you use the auto chroma key function. Window adjustment Y balance In normal chroma keying, the key signal is based on the chrominance component only, and all elements of the foreground with the same hue are replaced by the background.
For details of video adjustment operations and the adjustment items, see “Chroma Key Adjustments” (page 266). Wipe pattern key This uses the wipe pattern selected for a transition as the key source. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Key wipe pattern key This uses the wipe pattern selected for an independent key transition as the key source.
Border This applies a uniform width border to the edge of the key. You can adjust the border width and density. You can also enable the separate edge function, and adjust the top, bottom, left, and right border widths separately. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Drop border This applies a border below and to the right for example, of the key. You can adjust the border width, position, and density. Shadow This applies a shadow below and to the right for example, of the key.
Outline This uses the outline of the original key as the key. You can adjust the width and density of the outline. You can also enable the separate edge function, and adjust the top, bottom, left, and right outline widths separately. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Emboss This applies an embossing effect to the outline of the key. You can adjust the width and position of the embossing, and the density. You can adjust the density separately for key fill and key edge.
• When the edge type is normal with soft edge being on • When [Fine Key] is on Edge fill Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions When a border, drop border, or shadow modifier is selected, you can select a signal to fill these edge effects. The edge fill may be either the signal from the dedicated color matte generator, or the signal currently selected on the utility 1 bus.
Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions mask source. When the box generator is selected, a rectangular mask is formed. You can adjust the positions of the four sides of the box separately. When the pattern generator is selected, you can select the pattern and apply modifiers. Sub mask: This uses the wipe generator signal or the signal selected on the utility 1 bus on the M/E or PGM/PST bank, as the mask source.
Key blink: The key is inserted and deleted at the specified frequency. You can also set the frequency and the proportion of the cycle for which the key is inserted. Edge blink: Key fill and key edge fill are interchanged at the specified frequency. You can specify both the frequency and the proportion of the cycle for which the interchange occurs. The blink settings are in the Transition menu for each key. (See “Blink Function” (page 285).
Wipes Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions A wipe is a transition from the current video stream to a new video stream, using a wipe pattern. Changing the background by means of a wipe is referred to as a “background wipe,” and inserting or deleting a key with a wipe is termed a “key wipe.” There are two types of wipe: those that can be selected in a common transition, and those that can be selected in an independent key transition. For details of independent key transitions, see page 35.
Pattern Mix You can create a new pattern by combining two selected patterns (main and “sub”). Note Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions It is not possible to apply a pattern mix to an independent key transition. For details, see “Pattern Mix” (page 307). Types of pattern mix There are four ways in which patterns can be combined in a pattern mix, as follows. Mix: The effect of the sub pattern is applied to the main pattern, modifying the outline or nature of the main pattern.
Main pattern at 100% Sub pattern at 100% 0.00 Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Start value Parameter settings Start: Point in the course of the transition at which the main pattern is at 100% End: Point in the course of the transition at which the sub pattern is at 100% Transition (0.00 - 100.00) Mix combination of main and sub patterns already begun Mix ends during transition, which ends with sub pattern at 100% End value 90.00 –10.
Main and sub modifier link function When carrying out a pattern mix, it is possible to link the modifier settings for the main pattern and sub pattern. There are two modes for this function. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions FULL LINK (fully linked) mode In this mode, all modifier settings are the same for the main pattern and sub pattern. Changing the modifier settings for one pattern automatically changes the settings for the other.
Split This splits the pattern, making the parts of the wipe move in opposite directions. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Split off Split on The parameter Split No. specifies the number of splits. The parameter Spacing specifies the spacing between adjacent patterns. Edge You can apply a border to the pattern, soften the edges, or soften the applied border. In an independent key transition, only the “Soft” setting is available. Border Soft Soft border Border: You can adjust the border width.
Positioner You can move the wipe pattern to any position. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Positioner off Positioner on • The parameter H Position controls the horizontal position of the pattern. A negative value moves the pattern to the left, and a positive value moves the pattern to the right. • The parameter V Position controls the vertical position of the pattern. A negative value moves the pattern down, and a positive value moves the pattern up. Rotation You can rotate the pattern.
Speed Through the course of the transition the wipe pattern rotates at a fixed specified speed. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions The parameter Speed determines the speed of pattern rotation. A value of −100.00 of the parameter Speed corresponds to one turn per second counterclockwise; a value of +100.00 corresponds to one turn per second clockwise. With a value of 0.00 the pattern is stationary. Magnitude Through the course of the transition the wipe pattern rotates through the specified angle.
Aspect ratio You can freely change the aspect ratio of the pattern. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Aspect off Aspect on (a horizontal stretch) A negative value of the parameter Aspect stretches the pattern vertically; a positive value stretches the pattern horizontally. Pattern replication “Multi” The same pattern can be repeated horizontally and vertically or both, up to 63 times. You can also change the orientation of alternate copies, or change the position.
1 2 3 4 Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions 1: All replications in the same orientation 2: Even-numbered columns and rows inverted 3: Even-numbered columns and rows inverted, and even-numbered rows staggered 4: Even-numbered rows staggered Pairing This slits the pattern into multiple strips, making it like a venetian blind. Pairing off Pairing on H: Create slits in the horizontal direction. V: Create slits in the vertical direction. • The parameter Width determines the width of the slits.
Modulation The pattern signal can be modulated, giving waves on the horizontal or vertical edges, or radially. The parameter Shape determines the form of the modulation. 1: sine wave, 2: triangular wave, 3: rectangular wave Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Horizontal modulation This modulates the pattern, applying waviness in the horizontal direction to edges. The parameter Speed determines the speed of waves. A value of −100.00 generates the maximum downward speed of waves, and a value of +100.
The parameter Speed determines the speed of waves. A value of −100.00 generates the maximum counterclockwise speed of waves, and a value of +100.00 the maximum clockwise speed. Spring As the transition progresses, the edge of the pattern is subjected to barrel or pincushion distortion. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Spring off Spring on A negative parameter value produces pincushion distortion, and a positive value produces barrel distortion. Spiral This deforms the pattern spirally.
Wipe Snapshots You can save a wipe pattern and all its associated modifiers, together with the transition rate, instantaneously in a dedicated register, for recall when required. There are 10 wipe snapshot registers on each M/E bank and the PGM/PST bank. Use the Flexi Pad control block in the bank to save and recall wipe snapshots. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions For details, see “Wipe Snapshots” (page 327).
DME Wipes Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions A DME wipe is a wipe transition that uses a DME effect to change from one video image to the next. There are two types of DME wipe: those which can be selected for a normal transition, and those which can be selected for an independent key transition. For independent key transitions, see page 35. Note To carry out DME wipes requires the BKDS-9470 DME Board Set. Types of DME Wipe Pattern The patterns used for a DME wipe fall into two broad classes.
DME Wipes Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Slide: The new video slides in over the old video. (Pattern numbers: 1001 to 1008 (one-channel mode), 2601 to 2608 (twochannel mode)) Split: The old video splits, and the new video appears in the gap. (Pattern numbers: 1011 to 1013 (one-channel mode)) Squeeze: The new video appears squeezed over the old video, and progressively expands to cover it.
For details of creating keyframe effects, see “Creating User Programmable DME Patterns” (page 342). Notes • To use the split, page turn, and page roll effects requires the MKS-8830M Nonlinear Effect Board to be installed in the DVS-9000 system. • Note that for an independent key transition, only the slide, split, squeeze, door, frame in-out, and user programmable DME patterns are available.
Pattern limit: You can restrict the range of the transition as desired. However, this is not available for a DME wipe in the independent key transition control block. For more details, see “Pattern Limit” (page 239). Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Size: This can only be used when one of the following pattern numbers is selected. 1201 to 1204, 1251, 2651, 2652 You can set the size of the image. Crop: You can crop the image.
There are 10 DME wipe snapshot registers for each of the M/E and P/P banks. To save and recall these registers, use the FlexiPad control block in each switcher bank. (See “DME Wipe Snapshots” (page 341).) In the case of a simple transition system, there are eight DME wipe snapshot registers for each switcher bank.
Frame Memory Overview Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Frame memory is a function whereby a frame of input video can be frozen and written to memory, for further use as material for editing. The memory capacity for freeze images is a maximum of 222 frames. For details of operations, see “Frame Memory Operations” (page 348). Use of frame memory There are eight frame memory channels, FM1 to FM8, and each channel independently allows a freeze image to be saved or recalled.
Operation modes Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions The frame memory has the following operation mode. V/K mode: When the pair mode is active, the key signal is automatically selected on frame memory source bus 2. This is convenient for handling the video and key signals together in frame memory. For example, when you select a video signal on frame memory source bus 1, the key signal assigned to it is automatically selected on frame memory source bus 2.
Saving an image (store) You can save an image in temporary memory which has been placed with the freeze function as a file in memory. You can save a single image in a single file and apply a name of up to eight characters to the file. When the system is powered off, the file saved in memory is erased, but you can restore it in the Frame Memory menu. (See “Restoring Files” (page 364).
with respect to the screen. The area of the screen around the image that has been moved is filled with black. There are two ways of carrying out this repositioning. Normal mode: Movement in the horizontal direction is in two-pixel increments. Black and white mode: Movement in the horizontal direction is in one-pixel increments, and for each pixel moved the color is inverted. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Note It is not possible to save an image moved with the reposition function directly to frame memory.
Memory card capacity Number of images that can be saved SD system HD system 16MB 13 2 32MB 27 5 64MB 55 11 128MB 112 23 Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Note that when transferring to the hard disk, there is ample capacity, so that problems such as this do not occur. • If you cancel the operation during a data transfer between frame memory and hard disk or memory card, then an image which was not completely transferred will not be reproducible. Avoid canceling such operations.
Color Backgrounds The dedicated generators generate color signals, and these can be used as color backgrounds in video effects. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Color background selection There are two color backgrounds, color background 1 and color background 2, which you use by assigning to cross-point buttons. Color combinations (“color mix”) The color generators can output the result of combining two colors, which are color 1 and color 2.
Copy and Swap Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions You can copy and swap the settings among the M/E-1 to M/E-3, and PGM/PST banks or between keyers. The following settings can be copied or swapped.
Keyer copy and keyer swap You can carry out copy and swap operations among the 16 keyers listed in the following table.
Target bank Target data M/E-1 M/E-2 M/E-3 PGM/PST DME wipe settings. It is not, however, possible to carry out copy or swap involving independent key transition DME wipe settings. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions DME wipe copy and DME wipe swap in the independent key transition control block You can copy and swap the DME wipe settings among the 16 keyers listed in the following table.
Target bank Target keyer and data DME ch1 to ch4 • • • • • • • Background Border Sepia Light Shade Drop shadow (other than DME ch4) Trail Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions DME channel copy and swap You can copy and swap the channel data among DME channels 1 to 4.
Video Process Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions The term “video process” is applied to adjustments to the luminance and hue of the input video signal. There are two types of adjustment, depending on the application: • Adjustment of an individual primary input signal • Image effects on a particular bus Note These types of adjustment may be carried out independently.
Making the adjustments Adjust VIDEO GAIN, Y GAIN, BLACK LEVEL, C GAIN, and HUE DELAY in the following menus.
Digital Multi Effects (DME) Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions DME allows you to add three-dimensional effects such as image movement, rotation, magnification and shrinking, as well as a wide variety of special effects. DME is the general name for all of these effects. You can use up to four channels as dedicated DME channels. Each channel can be used on its own or in combination with other channels, which allows you to create advanced effects with more complexity.
the plane of the monitor screen. The coordinates do not move even if the image moves. Y Z Y X Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions X Z Source coordinate space Target coordinate space Source coordinate space and target coordinate space For example, as shown below, the image moves in a different direction when you move it along the x-axis of the source coordinate space and along the xaxis of the target coordinate space.
Rotation around y-axis in local coordinate space Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Rotation around y-axis in global coordinate space Local coordinate space and global coordinate space Three-dimensional parameters Three-dimensional parameters are x, y, and z values which define the position of an image, its axis of rotation, the position of an imaginary point of view on the image, and so on. The standard values of parameters are as shown below, depending on the aspect ratio of your monitor (4:3 or 16:9).

External Devices Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions In the DVS-9000 system, you can operate while controlling the following types of external device: • Devices supporting P-BUS (Peripheral II protocol) (referred to as “P-BUS devices” in the manual) • Devices supporting GPI • VTRs • Disk recorder (Sony disk 9-pin protocol) The following is an outline of external device control. For external device control operations, see Chapter 12 “External Devices” (Volume 2).
Saving to registers Set the data for controlling external devices in the Device menu. You can save the set data in keyframe, snapshot, or shotbox registers. You can recall the register in which the data is saved, and carry out operations on it with the keyframe control block. For details, see Chapter 12 “External Devices” (Volume 2).
For details of the buttons assigned to each action, see Chapter 12, “External Devices” (Volume 2). P-BUS timeline At a keyframe point on the P-BUS timeline, you can set an action (setting what action command is output to which device). At any single keyframe point you can set actions for a maximum of 24 devices. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions P-BUS timeline mode actions The actions that can be used in P-BUS timeline mode are as follows.
VTR/Disk Recorder Control You can carry out the following manual operations and timeline settings for up to 12 VTRs or disk recorders connected to a DCU. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions • Controlling manually from the device control block (MKS-8031). • Saving a start point, stop point, start delay time and variable speed in a data register, then recalling the register to control automatically from the keyframe control block.
Cueup & Play Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions By saving the start point timecode, stop point timecode, and start delay time for a VTR or disk recorder in an effect register, and recalling this register, you can operate the following buttons in the keyframe control block to automatically control the VTR or disk recorder.
• Duration of recorded material To recall the file list, use the Device menu. Recalling a file In the recalled list of files, select the file you want to play back, and open the file. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions File list sharing You can connect multiple DCU serial ports to a single disk recorder. You can share the recalled list of files between serial ports connected to the same disk recorder.
Regions and Registers Regions Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions The term “region” refers to some sort of functional block of the system. When saving or recalling snapshot registers and effect registers, or creating or editing effects, you first select the region to which the operation applies. You can also select multiple regions simultaneously. Classification of the regions The regions are classified as follows.
The reference region is determined according to the following precedence. M/E1 >M/E2 >M/E3 >P/P >USER1 > USER2 > USER3 > USER4 >USER5 > USER6 > USER7 > USER8 > DME1> DME2 > DME3 > DME4 > P-BUS Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Master region The regions saved in a master snapshot register or master timeline register and the register numbers saved in such regions can be recalled at a time as the master region. The master region can be saved or recalled using the numeric keypad control block.
When you recall an effect, it is read from the effect register into the work register, and when you save, the contents of the work register are written to the effect register. Master timeline registers There are 99 master timeline registers, numbered 1 to 99, for each control panel. They store keyframe effect regions and the register numbers saved in the regions. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Snapshot registers These are registers for snapshots, and there are 99, numbered 1 to 99 for each region.
Keyframes A keyframe represents an instantaneous state of an image; it can be saved and recalled for reuse. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Effects By arranging a number of keyframes on the time axis, and interpolating between successive keyframes, you can create an effect in which there is a continuous change from each keyframe to the next. The figure below shows three keyframes created with a wipe pattern (the circle) in different positions. This is interpolated to create the effect shown.
Saving and Recalling Effects Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions To create a new effect, first recall an empty register, then create the keyframes one at a time in this register. To run an effect, it is also necessary to set the time and the path. To edit an existing effect, recall the register holding the effect, then make the changes. When you have finished creating or editing the effect, save it in the recalled register or another specified register.
Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions You can edit either on a keyframe within the effect, or at any point between keyframes. Insert: Insert the current image as a keyframe. Inserting a keyframe in an existing effect may change the duration of the effect (see page 131). Modify: Modify a keyframe. You can modify a single keyframe or a range of keyframes in the effect together. Delete: Delete a keyframe. You can delete a single keyframe or a range of keyframes in the effect together.
Difference in the effect of a paste operation Variable duration mode: The copied keyframe is inserted at the specified position. Constant duration mode: The copied keyframe is written over the specified position. Transition mode Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions You can use an effect created with keyframes as a DME wipe pattern on the switcher. In this case, it is necessary to set the transition mode (the way in which the effect behaves).
Changes in the effect duration caused by inserting a keyframe • When the effect is stopped on a keyframe, inserting a keyframe increases the effect duration by the duration of the inserted keyframe. • When the effect is stopped between two keyframes, inserting a keyframe does not change the effect duration.
• When the effect is stopped between two keyframes, a delete operation deletes the preceding keyframe, and reduces the effect duration by the duration of the deleted keyframe. Note In constant duration mode (see page 129), the duration of the keyframe before the deleted keyframe is increased by the duration of the deleted keyframe. Thus the effect duration does not change.
Paths The term “path” refers to the specification of how interpolation is carried out from one keyframe to the next. For details of the path setting procedure, see “Path Settings” in Chapter 13 (Volume 2). Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Switcher path settings Carry out path settings in the Key Frame menu. For each menu, the following settings are available.

Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Path types for Hue There are four types, as follows. CW: The hue changes in a clockwise direction as seen on a Vectorscope. CCW: The hue changes in a counterclockwise direction as seen on a Vectorscope. Short: The hue changes in whichever of the clockwise and counterclockwise directions is shorter. Long: The hue changes in whichever of the clockwise and counterclockwise directions is longer. Path types for Xpt There are two types, as follows.
Master Timelines Keyframes Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions You can save the regions selected for a keyframe effect and the register numbers saved in the regions in a master timeline register so that operation can be applied to two or more regions at a time. Master timeline registers can be saved or recalled from the numeric keypad control block or using a menu operation. (See “Creating and Saving a Master Timeline” in Chapter 13 (Volume 2).
Snapshots Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions The term “snapshot” refers to a function whereby the various settings required to apply a particular effect to an image are saved in memory as a set of data, for recall as required, to recover the original state. You can carry out snapshot operations using the numeric keypad control block, the Flexi Pad control block in each of the M/E-1 to M/E-3 and PGM/PST banks, and the Snapshot menu. For details of snapshot operations, see Chapter 14 “Snapshots” (Volume 2).
Snapshot Attributes An individual snapshot may also have attached special conditions relating to switcher or DME operation when the snapshot is recalled. These conditions are called “attributes” of the snapshot, and can be added when the snapshot is saved or recalled. Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions Types of attribute There are five snapshot attributes, as follows. Cross-point hold: When the snapshot is recalled, the cross-point button selection remains unchanged. This can be set independently for each bus.
Yes: Can be used No: Cannot be used Attribute Region M/E-1, M/E-2, M/E-3, and PGM/PST USER 1 to USER 8 DME 1 to DME 8 Effect dissolve Yes Yes Auto transition Yes No No b) Yes Yes No GPI outputs Yes Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions a) Applicable only as temporary attributes, but not applicable by a menu operation. b) Applicable only by a menu operation. Attribute display You can view the attributes of a snapshot in the Snapshot menu.

Key Setting Operations Using Menus There are two ways of making key settings: either using menus, or using the key control block. This section describes basic procedures for making key settings using the menus, taking the M/E-1>Key1 menu as an example. Operations in the Key menus are the same for all banks (M/E-1 to M/E-3 and PGM/PST). For details of the method of using the key control block, see “Key Setting Operations With the Key Control Block” (page 287).
Key Type Setting Setting the key type in a menu Use the following procedure. 1 In the M/E-1>Key1 menu, select HF1 ‘Type.’ The Type menu appears. 2 In the group, select the key type. Luminance: luminance key Linear: linear key Chroma: chroma key Color Vector: color vector key Wipe Pattern: wipe pattern key Key Wipe Pattern: key wipe pattern key For the selected key type, you can now set the parameters. For an overview of the key types, see page 46.
• When a luminance key or linear key is selected Knob Parameter Adjustment Setting values 1 Clip Reference level for generating the key signal +109.58 to −7.30 2 Gain Key sensitivity −100.00 to +100.00 3 Density Key density 0.00 to 100.00 4 Filter Filter coefficient 1 to 9 a) a) Setting this value to 1, produces the “through” state in which no filter is applied. The larger the value, the more strongly the filter applies.
To adjust the horizontal position or key source width for a luminance key, linear key, or chroma key: Press [Key Position], turning it on, and set the parameters. Knob Parameter Adjustment Setting values 1 2 H Phase Key horizontal position −4.00 to +4.00 Left Key left edge position −4.00 to +4.00 3 Right Key right edge position −4.00 to +4.00 To set the key priority: Press [Key Priority] or select VF7 ‘Misc’ and HF3 ‘Key Priority’ to access the Key Priority menu.
When using an additive mix for chroma keying, the (typically blue) background parts of the foreground video must be converted to black. For this, use the color cancel function (see page 267). Using the plane function In an additive mix, since no key is applied to the foreground, any variations in the (typically blue) background may appear in the composite image. To avoid this, a particular luminance level can be set for the (blue) background, and regions of lower luminance forcibly cut.
4 Adjust the position and size of the sample selector, to specify the color to be used as the basis of chroma keying (typically a blue background). Knob Parameter Adjustment Setting values 1 Position H Horizontal position −100.00 to +100.00 a) 2 Position V Vertical position −100.00 to +100.00 a) 3 Size Size 1.00 to 100.00 a) The setting ranges depend on the signal format, screen aspect ratio, and size settings. 5 Select [Auto Start] in the group.

DME Wipe Settings for Independent Key Transitions You carry out independent key transition DME wipe setting operations using the DME Wipe Adjust menu for each keyer. For an overview of independent key transitions, see page 35. This section describes the independent key transition DME wipe settings, taking the M/E-1>Key1>Transition>DME Wipe Adjust menu as an example.
1 In the group of the Key1 DME Wipe Adjust menu, press [1ch]. The Pattern Select menu for one-channel mode appears. 2 Select the desired DME wipe pattern group with one of the following buttons. Slide/Squeeze: slide and squeeze Split/Door: split and door Frame I/O: frame in/out User Program: user programmable DME For details of DME wipe patterns, see “Types of DME Wipe Pattern” (page 68) and the appendix “DME Wipe Pattern List” (Volume 2).
DME Wipe Snapshots To carry out DME wipe snapshot operations, use the Flexi Pad control block. You can save, recall and delete DME wipe snapshots using the procedures similar to the procedures for wipe snapshot operations. In DME wipe snapshot operations, use the [DME] button instead of the [WIPE] button used in wipe snapshot operations. Note In a simple type Flexi Pad control block, it is not possible to delete a DME wipe snapshot. For details of the operating procedures, see “Wipe Snapshots” (page 327).
Creating User Programmable DME Patterns With a user programmable DME, you can use DME effects created through the use of keyframes for a transition on the switcher system. Note the following points when creating a keyframe effect for use as a user programmable DME pattern. Register numbers and pattern numbers When saving a keyframe effect as a user programmable DME pattern, specify the register number that corresponds to the pattern number as shown in the following table.
The following transition modes are available.
• Create the first transition to end such that the image can be seen within the screen. At this point, press the [PAUSE] button in the keyframe control block, turning it on, to set a pause for the keyframe. • Either create the last keyframe image outside the screen area, or set the image size to zero so that it cannot be seen within the screen. • In the group of the Key Frame>DME User PGM menu, select [FRAME I/O].
• During the course of a transition, there is a “dead zone” corresponding to the intermediate point of the whole effect (see following figure), during which the image does not change. Therefore, it is necessary to create the effect so that the image in the intermediate part of the transition is the keyframe for the mid-point of the whole effect. The range of this “dead zone” corresponds to the central one-third of the range of the transition indicator. This also applies to an auto transition.
