1 System Overview Introduction This section presents a general description of the Grass Valley Group Model 3000 Switching System, pointing out specific areas of interest to the operator. Both the 3000-2 (a two-effects switcher) and the 3000-3 (a three-effects switcher) are covered. The Control Panel and Signal Processor descriptions given in this section will provide you with a basic knowledge of the Model 3000 structure. Any differences between the two models will be noted.
Section 1 — System Overview The layout of the control panel is user-friendly and the menu structure is easy to navigate, allowing quick and easy control of video signals.
Optional Features Optional Features ■ Additional video and key inputs, up to 64 total ■ Additional video and key outputs ■ A Second Wipe Pattern Generator (one module that provides a second wipe pattern for each M/E) ■ Borderline on each Keyer ■ Dual Chroma Keyers for each M/E ■ Preview Outputs ■ Aux Buses ■ Safe Title/Action Area Generators ■ Four-Channel Effects Send ■ Redundant Power Supplies (frame and panel) ■ Video channel, Key channel, and Mask channel Frame Store ■ Chroma Key
Section 1 — System Overview Physical Description The switcher consists of three main areas: the Control Panel, the Signal Processor Frame, and the Frame Power Supply (see Figure 1-1). The electronic circuitry in the Model 3000 is primarily contained on circuit boards and modules in the Signal Processor Frame and Control Panel.
Physical Description Power Supplies TP0348-01 Two power supplies are used in the basic Model 3000 system: a control panel power supply, located in the control panel tub, and a 19" rack mount power supply used by the Signal Processor Frame. Optional Redundant power supplies are available.
Section 1 — System Overview Control Panel TP0348 01 The Control Panel is the operator interface for the Model 3000 system. The operator performs all actions via physical buttons and knobs and a software-driven menu.

Section 1 — System Overview Video and Key Inputs and Outputs Inputs Three types of input options may be installed in the Signal Processor Frame to suit the needs of your installation. Each input module supports four inputs and provides auto-timing of each input. The following types of input modules are available. NOTE: Each of these inputs can be treated by the switcher as either a video input or a key input.
DUAL RGB INPUT MODULE DUAL RGB INPUT MODULE QUAD PARALLEL DIGITAL INPUT MODULE QUAD SERIAL DIGITAL INPUT MODULE Signal Processor Frame Module Cells C1 through C16 Up to 16 Quad Input Modules (Any mix of module types) QUAD ANALOG INPUT MODULE 0702-03 DUAL RGB INPUT MODULE Module Cells A1 through A3 Up to 3 Dual RGB Input Modules Video and Key Inputs and Outputs Figure 1-4.
Section 1 — System Overview Outputs Regardless of the format of the input signals, the Signal Processor can provide outputs in any composite format. Signal outputs are provided by output modules installed in the Signal Processor Frame (see Figure 1-5). Each output module provides four video/key signal outputs of a given type, with up to three buffered outputs per signal channel.
QUAD ANALOG OUTPUT MODULE 4 Signal Channels per Module 3 Outputs of each Signal QUAD PARALLEL DIGITAL OUTPUT MODULE 4 Signal Channels per Module 1 Output of each Signal QUAD SERIAL DIGITAL OUTPUT MODULE 4 Signal Channels per Module 3 Outputs of each Signal Up to 14 Quad Output Modules (Any mix of module types) Signal Processor Frame Module Cells A4 through A17 Video and Key Inputs and Outputs Figure 1-5.
Section 1 — System Overview Functional Description Overview Figure 1-6 shows the video flow in a typical Model 3000 switching system. Video and key signals enter the Input Section of the Model 3000, which consists of analog, parallel digital, and/or serial digital modules. The analog signals are converted to digital format, and all inputs are timed and conditioned. The digital signals are then passed to the Video and Effects Section where keying and mixing take place.
Functional Description The Effects Send outputs can also be directed to the Frame Store option for image capture. One optional Effects Loop Crosspoint module services all three Mix/Effects banks. Each M/E has two keyers and two background buses (A and B) as inputs. In standard mode, Keyers 1 and 2 can be mixed into a composite video and key which can be forwarded to the DSK, the other M/E, or output.

Section 1 — System Overview Description of Options The following options are currently available for the Model 3000 Switcher. For more details on these options, refer to the appropriate subpanel descriptions later in this manual. Dual Chroma Keyer Up to six analog component (RGB, YUV, or Betacam®) or composite inputs can be chroma keyed, two per Dual Chroma Keyer module. Each module is added to a specific M/E.
Description of Options Safe Title/Action Area Generator The Safe Title/Action Area Generator provides up to four different patterns that can be superimposed on the switched preview output of the switcher. It may be used to define a safe title area, safe action area, or for screen centering and horizontal/ vertical alignment of picture elements.
Section 1 — System Overview Tally Output The Tally Relay module provides tally outputs that reflect the switcher status. A rear-panel interconnect board provides the relay contacts at two connectors for on-air Tally A and on-air Tally B. Pinouts for the Tally connectors are given in the Installation section of the System Information manual. Tally Expansion The Tally Expansion Option increases the number of tally outputs from the Model 3000 Switcher.
2 Control Panel Descriptions Introduction User control of the Model 3000 Switcher is provided through a control panel containing a source-select button matrix, various “subpanels” and a flat panel text and graphics display called the “menu display.” This section provides an overview of the Model 3000-2 and Model 3000-3 control panels, and detailed descriptions of the subpanels.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Functions available through the Menus are described in the next section of this manual Frequently-used controls are located on the lower panel for ease of reach by the operator. Rows of subpanels for the Mix/Effects and Program/Preset/Downstream Keyer systems are provided in line with the corresponding source selection buttons for making transitions, keying, creating mattes, and manipulating effects.

Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Auto Delegation Subpanel Delegation Some of the subpanels on the Model 3000 Switcher are delegated to other subpanels under conditional control of the operator or system. This feature is called “auto delegation.” The effect of auto delegation is that pressing a button on one subpanel may activate the related controls on another subpanel.
Auto Delegation Table 2-1.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Table 2-1.
Auto Delegation Menu Delegation The Model 3000 also delegates certain menus to be displayed when specific buttons on the subpanels are double-pressed. (The second press must occur within a predetermined amount of time.) Table 2-2 lists the buttons that support this function. NOTE: An opened menu is delegated, where appropriate, to the button that opened the menu.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Table 2-2.
Source Selection Source Selection 0702-07 The Source Select portion of the control panel consists of Primary source select buttons, Secondary (re-entry) source select buttons, SHIFT buttons, and uncalibrated indicators (see Figure 2-3). Each M/E on the 3000-2 has a delegated key bus, rather than the two discrete key buses shown for the 3000-3 and key bus delegation indicators that show which bus is currently delegated.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions All buttons on the Source Select panel have three levels of illumination, known as “tally”: ■ OFF indicates not selected ■ DIM or “low tally” indicates selected, but not on-air ■ BRIGHT or “high tally” indicates selected and on-air Only one button in each row is illuminated at any time (not including the SHIFT button). Primary Source Selection (Primary Crosspoints) BLACK ...
Source Selection onto the selected video bus (Background A, Background B, Program, or Preset). Any video or key input may be selected on any number of output buses; however, only one output signal may selected at one time on each output bus. SHIFT The SHIFT button located at the right end of each primary source selection row is used to access the 16 or 24 shifted inputs. In Normal mode, you select a shifted input by holding SHIFT down (button lamp comes on) and pressing a crosspoint button on that bus.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions selection will be a shifted crosspoint, whereas in Normal mode it would be an unshifted crosspoint. In Shift Lock mode, to select an unshifted crosspoint, press and hold the SHIFT button (lamp goes out) and select a crosspoint on that bus. NOTE: In Shift Lock mode, you must press SHIFT plus a crosspoint button in order to revert to the unshifted state. Simply pressing SHIFT will not have any effect.
Source Selection Secondary Source Selection (Re-entry Crosspoints) M/E 1 M/E 2 M/E 3 The secondary source (“M/E re-entry”) buttons, M/E 1, M/E 2, and M/E 3 (3000-3 only) are located at the right end of each row of primary crosspoint buttons. Unlimited re-entry is supported for outputs of the Mix/Effects (M/Es). The program output of any M/E may be reentered as an input on any other M/E or in the Flip-Flop Mix/DSK system, or it may be used as a key source on any other M/E or the DSK.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Transition Subpanels TRANSITION EFF SEND EFF SEND EFF SEND EFF SEND BKGD B BKGD A KEY 1 KEY 2 ON ON ON ON OVER OVER LAYERED MIX WIPE CUT AUTO TRAN KEY PRIOR TP0348-08 A Transition subpanel is supplied for each M/E and for the PGMPST/DSK mixer (see Figure 2-4 and 2-5).
Transition Subpanels Next Transition Buttons The five next transition buttons in each M/E—BKGD B, BKGD A, KEY 1, KEY 2, and KEY PRIOR—select the M/E output signals that will change during the next transition. The three next transition buttons in the PGM-PST/DSK—BKGD, DSK 1, and DSK 2—similarly select the PGM-PST output signals that will change during the next transition.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions BKGD A Pressing BKGD A selects background video to change during the next transition. That is, the background video output of the M/E will change from the source selected on the A Background bus to the source selected on the B Background bus. At the end of the transition, the inputs selected on the background buses will interchange, or “flip-flop.
Transition Subpanels NOTE: Flip-flop operation occurs only when operating in Standard mode. Operating in layered mode causes the A and B Background layers to transition in a manner similar to the Key 1 and Key 2 layers (see the descriptions for Key 1 and Key 2). BKGD B In Layered mode, the BKGD A and BKGD B buttons also delegate the keyers subpanel. (The key bus delegation remains unchanged when the keyer subpanel is delegated to either of the background layers.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions PST BLK Pressing the PST BLK button selects a two-stage transition that inserts black between the two video sources being mixed, wiped, or cut. For example, instead of mixing directly between the A Background and B Background buses during a background transition, a preset black transition mixes, wipes, or cuts from the A Background bus to black. When a second transition is performed, black mixes, wipes, or cuts, away to the B Background.
Transition Subpanels A new background source may be selected on the B Background bus when you are at the midpoint of a preset black mix. In the same manner, next-transition delegation buttons, keyer modes, or keyer sources may also be changed. None of these changes will abort the preset black transition. BLACK Configuring the BLACK Crosspoint — When mapping inputs to pushbuttons, one of the choices in the Configuration menu is BLACK, and another choice is NONE.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Transition Controls AUTO TRAN CUT You can perform a transition using any of three different controls: the lever arm, the AUTO TRAN button, or the CUT button. The lever arm is used to perform “manual” transitions. The BKGD B, BKGD A, KEY 1, KEY 2, KEY PRIOR buttons, or any combination thereof, can be delegated to the lever arm to perform the transition. You can move the lever arm in either direction due to the flip-flop architecture of the buses.
Transition Subpanels E-MEM recall operations result in another set of conditions for lever arm transitions. When an E-MEM recall places a transition at a point different from that of the lever arm, the lever arm becomes inactive until it is moved to catch up with the transition. For example, assume the lever arm is on a limit and an E-MEM recall puts the transition at some midpoint. In such a case, the lever arm would be inoperative until you moved it far enough to catch up with the transition.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions button. However, performing a transition in such a manner leaves the lever arm off limit. CUT Pressing the CUT button causes an immediate transition. The M/E or PGM-PST output changes instantaneously. (The CUT button lights for one-half second.) The CUT button supports the same transitions as the lever arm: BKGD B, BKGD A, KEY 1, KEY 2, KEY PRIOR, or any combination thereof.
Transition Subpanels Key Mix Rates The mix rates used by the KEY 1 MIX and KEY 2 MIX buttons on the M/E Keyer panels are independently programmable, as detailed under the E-MEM panel TRAN RATE button description. After the M/E keyer mix rate has been programmed for each button, the rate is shown in the Transition panel readout only while the mix is in progress or while the SHOW KEY button on the Keyer or DSK panel is being pressed.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Mix/Effects Effects Memory Subpanel (3000-3 Only) The Effects Memory (E-MEM®) subpanel for each M/E (see Figure 2-6) allows you to learn and recall effects setups for the mix/effects system in which the subpanel resides. It also provides effects dissolves and sequences between effects stored in its own registers.
Mix/Effects Effects Memory Subpanel (3000-3 Only) Learn and Recall Operations Effects setups are stored in E-MEM registers. The following parameters are learned and recalled in learn/recall operations on the mix/effects E-MEMs: standard or layered mode operation, crosspoint settings, transition settings, keyer settings, masks and mattes, chroma key settings, wipes, positioner settings and full additive mix (FAM) settings.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Recalling Effects To recall a register, press the following buttons: BANK, bank number, register number (The previous NOTE for learning applies also to recalling.) When an E-MEM register is recalled, the key memory for any recalled crosspoint is updated. Crosspoint Override During an E-MEM recall, if you don’t want the crosspoint to change, you can manually hold down the present crosspoint button while the E-MEM register is recalled.
Mix/Effects Effects Memory Subpanel (3000-3 Only) Mix/Effects E-MEM Readout L B0 R04 The alphanumeric readout at the top of the E-MEM keypad provides status information about E-MEM operations and registers. During normal learn and recall operations, the display informs you what the current Bank (“B...”) and Register (“R...”) are. If the register is locked, there is an “L” shown at the left end of the display.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions When locked, an “L” is displayed at the left end of the E-MEM readout. To unlock the register, press the buttons again: ≠, LOCK NOTE: You cannot lock an entire E-MEM bank from the subpanel; a menu selection is provided for this action. BANK 0 BANK 1 TRIM ENTER Pressing the BANK 0 button makes bank 0 the current bank, and causes buttons 0 through 9 on the keypad to become one-button recall registers for registers 00 through 09.
Mix/Effects Effects Memory Subpanel (3000-3 Only) NOTE: SEQ and LRN may be pressed in either order to start the command sequence; TRAN RATE and delay, in parentheses, are optional. TRAN RATE enables a user-defined delay to be introduced between register recalls; delay is a 1- to 3-digit number entered on the keypad that specifies an amount of delay in TV frames.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions An effects dissolve may be learned into a register, so that recalling that register will initiate a dissolve to another specified register.
Mix/Effects Effects Memory Subpanel (3000-3 Only) LRN • learns the current switcher state into the next empty register, and that register becomes the current register. NOTE: If there are no empty registers, the operation will not be done, an error beep will sound, and the keypad readout will show “NO EMPTY.” UNDO BANK • UNDO is used to back out of a recall, learn, or another UNDO register operation. The UNDO button lights when pressed, confirming that it has been pressed.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions KEY1:060 This display refers to the mix rate of the KEY 1 MIX button at the right edge of the Transition panel. To change the Key 1 mix rate, follow the same procedure as described above for the auto transition rate. As soon as the new rate is confirmed, it is entered into memory for that M/E, but is not displayed. The readout then displays the third transition/mix rate: KEY2:060 Repeat the procedure again to set the mix rate for the KEY 2 MIX button.
Keyer Subpanels Keyer Subpanels One Keyer subpanel is provided for each M/E, and one Keyer subpanel serves the two Downstream Keyers (see Figure 2-7 and Figure 2-8).

Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions The Keyer subpanels provide control over the following features for a specified M/E or DSK: ■ Key masking ■ Video key type selection—preset pattern, chroma key, luminance key, or linear key. (The DSK has only luminance and linear keys.
Keyer Subpanels KEY ON Indicator KEY ON The KEY ON indicator lamp displays whether the delegated keyer is in use or not. This indicator is a logical AND of the ON indicator in the transition subpanel and the keyer delegation selection. Key Type Buttons LIN KEY CHR KEY LUM KEY LIN KEY CLIP GAIN PRI PST PTTN SEC PST PTTN The second row of buttons from the bottom of each Keyer subpanel selects one of five keyer modes.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions software menu. The CLIP control has enough range to clip down to superblack. A menu selection is available that switches a chroma trap into the key path to remove unwanted chroma from video used for keying. CHR KEY PRI PST PTTN Pressing the CHR KEY button delegates the Chroma Keyer subpanel to that M/E. (The CHR KEY button is functional only when the chroma keyer option is installed.
Keyer Subpanels SEC PST PTTN Pressing the SEC PST PTTN (Secondary Preset Pattern) button selects the optional secondary wipe generator as the key source. Operation of the keyer while SEC PST PTTN is selected is similar to that when PRI PST PTTN is selected. The secondary wipe generator option provides wipe pattern selection independent of the primary wipe generator (no interaction occurs between them).
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Key Source Buttons VIDEO KEY AUTO SEL KEY The VIDEO KEY and AUTO SELECT KEY buttons determine the source of the key, or “hole cutter.” Pressing the VIDEO KEY button forces derivation of the key from a video source. The “video source” is the video selected on the key bus (for Keyers 1 and 2) or on the background bus (for background keyers in layered mode only). If VIDEO KEY and VIDEO FILL are both selected, the result is a selfkey.
Keyer Subpanels SPLIT KEY When a split key is operational with an auto select key or a video key, the SPLIT KEY indicator is lit. Other Key Modifier Buttons KEY OVER Pressing KEY OVER swaps the priority of the two keyers, KEY 1 and KEY 2, regardless of which keyer the subpanel is delegated to. The KEY OVER button lights when the Keyer subpanel is delegated to the key that is over the other. It may be pressed whether or not either keyer is on-air.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Borderline Controls NORM BORD SHDW EXTD OUT LINE The buttons at the top of the Keyer subpanel control the Borderline option. The NORM, BORD, SHDW, EXTD, and OUTLINE buttons are interlocked; only one button can be active at a time. Pressing a button de-selects any other button. NOTE: The background keyers (layered mode) do not have Borderline capability. Border, Shadow, and Extrude modes operate with video or matte filled keys.
Keyer Subpanels OUT LINE BORDERLINE SIZE/POS Pressing the OUTLINE button produces an outline of the key signal. The border width is adjustable to one, two, or three lines. In Outline mode, there is no fill video or fill matte; only the background video and outline border matte are output. As a result, the VIDEO FILL and MATTE FILL buttons have no effect when OUTLINE is active. The BORDERLINE SIZE/POS knob adjusts the width of all Borderline borders.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Mask Control INH MASK FORCE MASK The INH MASK and FORCE MASK toggle buttons are illuminated when turned on, and can be turned on individually or together. When either button is pressed, the Masks subpanel is automatically delegated for adjusting the mask, if auto delegation is enabled. The background keyers (layered mode) do not have mask capabilities and the mask buttons are inoperative when the subpanel is delegated to a background keyer.
Matte Subpanels Matte Subpanels Matte subpanels (Figure 2-9 and 2-10) are provided in each M/E and the DSK. Controls are provided in the Matte subpanels for creating and modifying mattes and for assigning the delegation of the subpanels.

Pressing and holding this button allows you to change the transition softness with the HUE/SOFTNESS knob and the offset (position) with the SATURATION/OFFSET knob. SEC WIPE WASH causes the secondary (optional) wipe generator to be used to modulate between the two mattes in a wash.
Matte Subpanels HUE/SOFTNESS knob—Adjusts the hue of the matte. The knob HUE/ SOFTNESS also adjusts the softness (gain) of the transition between the two matte generators when you hold down the PRI WIPE WASH, SEC WIPE WASH, or USER DEF WASH button. Softness is not adjustable while FLAT MATTE is active. SATURATION/OFFSET knob—Adjusts the color saturation of the SATURATION/ OFFSET matte.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Chroma Keyer Subpanel The Chroma Keyer option, which consists of a dual Chroma Key input module and a dual Chroma Keyer (processor) module, adds two Chroma Keyers to an M/E. With a Chroma Keyer option installed in one or more M/Es, the Model 3000 switcher can generate key signals on the basis of color information contained in a video picture.
Chroma Keyer Subpanel Chroma Keyer Delegation M/E 1 KEY 2 M/E 1 KEY 1 M/E 2 KEY 1 M/E 2 KEY 2 M/E 3 KEY 1 M/E 3 KEY 2 The Chroma Keyers subpanel may be delegated between any of the chroma keyers using the four (2 M/E) or six (3 M/E) buttons located at the bottom of the subpanel. Chroma Keyer Controls R Y M G B C The HUE control sets the color in the chroma key scene from which the key signal will be derived.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions The BKGD SUPR LUM control adjusts the amount of luminance subtracted from the background region of the foreground video. LUM The BKGD SUPR CHROMA control adjusts the amount of chrominance subtracted from the background region of the foreground video. CHROMA Chroma Keyer Operation The following procedure describes manual adjustment of a chroma key. Automatic adjustment is provided by the Chroma Key Auto-Setup Option.
Chroma Keyer Subpanel 6. Select the background hue to be suppressed. Select BKGD SUPR on the Chroma Keyer panel, then set the CHROMA and LUM knobs fully counterclockwise. Turn the HUE knob for maximum effect on the desired suppression hue. 7. Adjust the SELECTIVITY knob for the desired amount of selectivity (range of hues admitted by the hue selector). Counterclockwise widens the selectivity; clockwise narrows the selectivity. 8.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions A secondary hue selector in the Model 3000 adds a color vector opposite the background hue to selected foreground objects. This can be used to tint foreground objects to counteract the color from the background. The secondary hue selector affects only the chroma suppression of the foreground. It does not contribute to the background key signal nor to luminance suppression.
Preview Subpanel (3000-3 only) Preview Subpanel (3000-3 only) The Preview subpanel (Figure 2-12) allows you to select the preview output to be viewed on the switched preview monitor. Choices available on the switched preview output are Preview Primary (current selection on PVW/AUX bus), M/E 1 Preview, M/E 2 Preview, M/E 3 Preview, and DSK (switcher) Preview. The buttons on the Preview panel are mutually exclusive, such that pressing one button de-selects any other button that was active.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions M/E 1 M/E 1 through M/E 3 select the corresponding M/E preview output. M/E 2 M/E 3 DSK 2-54 DSK selects the preview output of the Program /Preset and Downstream Keyers.
Master Effects Memory (E-MEM) Subpanel Master Effects Memory (E-MEM) Subpanel The Effects Memory (3000-2) or Master Effects Memory (3000-3) subpanel shown in Figure 2-13 allows you to define, store, and recall effects setups for the entire switcher. (See the following page for definitions of effects and keyframes.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions E-MEM Registers Effect setups are stored in E-MEM registers. There is a total of 100 registers in the Master E-MEM, grouped in ten banks of ten registers. Each register belongs to a specific bank (0 through 9) and has a unique number (0 through 9) within that bank. For example, register 46 means bank 4, register 6. When the system is powered up, the keypad readout comes up with a “NO CURRENT REG” message.
Master Effects Memory (E-MEM) Subpanel Enable Buttons When you learn a switcher state (or insert a keyframe) into an E-MEM register, the only switcher parameters that are learned are those that are enabled by the Enable buttons on the E-MEM subpanel.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions M/E 1 M/E 2 M/E 1, M/E 2, and M/E 3 (3000-3 only) enable the following areas for learn and recall operations on a specific M/E: standard or layered mode operation, crosspoint settings, transition settings, keyer settings, masks and mattes, chroma key settings, wipes, positioner settings and full additive mix (FAM) settings.
Master Effects Memory (E-MEM) Subpanel DPM 1, DPM 2, DPM 3, and DPM 4 enable certain parameters of the DPM 1 DPM 2 DPM 3 associated DPMs (Digital Picture Manipulators) for learn and recall operations. The specific functions to be learned and/or recalled are determined by the type of DPM, its capabilities, and the configuration of the DPM port. Aux buses can be assigned to a DPM level by use of the Config/DPM Setup menu. Refer to the Startup section of the User Guide for setting up the DPMs.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Learning Effects To learn the first (and perhaps the only) keyframe of an effect into an E-MEM register, enable the appropriate register levels, then press the following sequence of buttons on the E-MEM subpanel: LRN, BANK, bank number, register number NOTE: If the next desired register is in the current bank, you may omit BANK and bank number in the above sequence.
Master Effects Memory (E-MEM) Subpanel Recalling Effects To recall an effect in an E-MEM register, press the following buttons: BANK, bank number, register number or use the shortcuts described in the NOTE under “Learning Effects”. On recall, registers are positioned at Time 0 with Keyframe 1 data. If Auto Run mode is enabled and there is more than one keyframe in the effect, an immediate run then occurs.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Keypad with Readout NO CURRENT REG LOCK 7 8 9 +/– SEQ 4 5 6 BANK 0 EFF DIS 1 2 3 BANK 1 0 TRAN RATE LRN UNDO BANK • TRIM ENTER The Master E-MEM keypad is used for effect learns and recalls, and serves as a numerical entry pad for the following buttons: TRAN RATE, LRN, LOCK, BANK, LRN SEQ, KF DUR, GET, PUT, GO TO KF, and GO TO TIME. (The last four of these buttons are located in the E-MEM effect editing group of buttons.
Master Effects Memory (E-MEM) Subpanel This condition would occur if (with AUTO RCL off) you enabled one level, recalled a register, turned off that enable, turned on another enable, recalled another register, and re-enabled the first level. In this situation, the locations of the contributing registers can be determined by turning on one enable at a time. BANK ↑/BANK is a two-function key that can be used for bank selection or for accessing “second” functions, e.g., LOCK and UNDO.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions LOCK BANK LRN The LOCK function locks a single register. Locking a register prevents the contents of that register from being changed. To lock the Current Register whose number is displayed, press the following buttons: ↑, LOCK When locked, an “L” is displayed at the left end of the E-MEM readout, next to the register number.
Master Effects Memory (E-MEM) Subpanel Sequences are created by pressing the following buttons (parameters in parentheses are optional): SEQ, LRN, register, TRAN RATE, delay, register, TRAN RATE, delay, ... NOTE: SEQ and LRN may be pressed in either order to start the command sequence; TRAN RATE and delay, in parentheses, are optional.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions If AUTO RUN is off, a sequence that includes a multiple-keyframe effect will recall the first keyframe in the register, but will not run the effect, then will proceed on to the next register in the sequence. If AUTO RUN is on, the sequence will recall the first keyframe, then run the effect before proceeding to the next register.
Master Effects Memory (E-MEM) Subpanel The following button sequence is used to learn an effects dissolve (parameters in parentheses are optional): LRN, EFF DIS, (TRAN RATE, eff dissolve rate), register NOTE: LRN and EFF DIS may be pressed in either order to start the command sequence; TRAN RATE enables a user-defined effects dissolve rate to be introduced in the dissolve; eff dissolve rate is a 1- to 3-digit number entered on the keypad that specifies the effects dissolve rate in number of TV frames.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions UNDO • The • (dot) button is used to represent the next unlocked empty register when used with the LRN and PUT buttons. The next unlocked empty register is defined as the next register that is unlocked and empty on all levels, not just enabled levels. The search for an unlocked empty register starts at the Current Register and proceeds to register 99, then wraps around to register 0 and continues.
Master Effects Memory (E-MEM) Subpanel For the above register functions, pressing ↑, UNDO repeatedly allows you to toggle back and forth between the two last states. (For toggling UNDO, you have to press ↑/BANK then UNDO each time.) NOTE: Editing operations such as Cut, Copy, Paste, and Mod cannot be undone with the UNDO function on the E-MEM keypad.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions To set the auto transition rate for all enabled levels, enter the desired rate using the number buttons on the keypad. Pressing three number buttons on the keypad automatically enters the rate. If only one or two number buttons are pressed, the entry must be completed by pressing ENTER. Rates from zero through 999 frames may be entered.
Master Effects Memory (E-MEM) Subpanel Any of the three transition/mix rates can be skipped simply by pressing the ENTER button when the query appears. If there are no enabled levels that require one of the abovementioned rates, that query will be skipped. For example, PGM PST does not require a key rate, and DSK does not require an auto transition rate.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Effect Editing Controls The effect editing controls are located in the upper portion of the Master E-MEM subpanel. CLEAR WORK BUFR CONST DUR TIME CURSR MARK CURSR GET PUT PREV NEXT EFF DUR KF DUR GO TO TIME GO TO KF CUT COPY PASTE MARK MOD INSRT BEFOR INSRT AFTER MARK BLOCK CLEAR WORK BUFR The CLEAR WORK BUFR, GET, and PUT buttons on the effect editing panel are at low tally whenever they are enabled to perform their respective functions.
Master Effects Memory (E-MEM) Subpanel Clear Working Buffer Modes of Operation With Version 5.0 and later software, there are four modes of operation for the [CLEAR WORK BUFR] button: 1. Single press of the [CLEAR WORK BUFR] button — Clears the Current Working Buffer except Keyers. This clears the CWB to User-Defined Defaults for all enabled levels, but leaves the key memory portion of the CWB unaffected. 2.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions GET provides a method of copying or “getting” the contents of a GET specified register into the Current Register. The Current Switcher State and the Current Register number are not affected by the Get operation. The GET button is at low tally whenever a Get operation is permissible and off when the operation is not permissible (when there is no Current Register or the Current Register is locked).
Master Effects Memory (E-MEM) Subpanel PUT The PUT button provides a method of copying or “putting” the contents of the Current Register into another E-MEM register. If multiple keyframes are contained in the enabled levels of the Current Register, they are copied into the new register. The PUT button is at low tally whenever a Put operation is permissible and off when the operation is not permissible (no Current Register). When pressed, the PUT button high-tallies and the E-MEM readout provides a prompt.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions NOTE: The remainder of the Effect Editing controls deal primarily with effect keyframes and effect timelines. Refer to “Effects and Keyframes” near the beginning of this section for general definitions of effects and keyframes. In the Model 3000, a Timeline is a graphical representation (in the Timeline menu) of the keyframes and their time relationships on a given enabled level in the current E-MEM register. Each enabled register has its own timeline.
Master Effects Memory (E-MEM) Subpanel Modes of Insertion/Deletion The editing mode selected determines the way keyframes are added to or removed from an effect. The editing mode is selected by the CONST DUR button on/off) on the E-MEM Effects Editing panel and by the DELEGATES/ENABLES selection in the Main Keyframe menu or the Timeline menu.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions With software version 5.2, the system makes decisions as to whether to use the “on a keyframe” or “on the path” rules based on whether keyframes are present on the delegated levels, not whether they are present on the Master Timeline. The new rules are as follows: ■ If any delegated level has no keyframe at the current time (location of cursor), an Insert operation does an insert “on the path” on each delegated level.
Master Effects Memory (E-MEM) Subpanel When CONST DUR is off, the overall duration of the effect is the sum of the durations of the individual keyframes (on the Master Timeline). Adding or deleting keyframes or changing the duration of one or more keyframes may change the overall duration of the effect. INSRT BEFOR Insert Before, On a Keyframe.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions INSRT AFTER Insert After, On a Keyframe. When the Time Cursor is positioned on a Master Timeline keyframe, INSRT AFTER inserts a keyframe and its duration into each delegated level immediately following the duration of the current keyframe (in other words, just before the next keyframe on the Master Timeline). All subsequent keyframes are “rippled” (pushed out) in time by an amount equal to the newly inserted keyframe duration.
Master Effects Memory (E-MEM) Subpanel CUT When the Time Cursor is positioned on a Master Timeline keyframe, CUT deletes the keyframe from any delegated level that has a keyframe, and deletes the duration of the Master Timeline keyframe from all delegated levels, even those that do not have a keyframe at that point. All subsequent keyframes are rippled backward in time (toward Time 0) by an amount equal to the duration on the Master Timeline of the deleted keyframe.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Constant Duration Mode The following paragraphs describe the operation of keyframe insertion/deletion in Constant Duration mode. Refer to the previous portion of this section for operation with Constant Duration turned off. CONST DUR CONST DUR forces the overall duration of an effect to be constant during editing, except as noted here. The length of the existing effect is unchanged by keyframe deletions (cuts) or additions (inserts or pastes).
Master Effects Memory (E-MEM) Subpanel Modify Keyframes MOD When the Time Cursor is positioned on a Master Timeline keyframe, pressing the MOD button once enters any modification that has been made on any delegated level. When MOD is pressed, the button high-tallies for one-half second to confirm the Mod operation.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Learn Modify LOCK MOD E-MEM Register LRN Register Header Data Keyframe Data Each E-MEM register contains a block of data called “register header” information. This data is not changeable on a keyframe basis, but it can be modified for the entire register using a LRN MOD operation.
Master Effects Memory (E-MEM) Subpanel KF DUR KF DUR allows you to change the duration of the current keyframe or to set the duration of a keyframe to be inserted. If not all delegated levels are on a keyframe, or if different delegated levels have differing keyframe durations, pressing KF DUR will add an appropriate change to the current keyframe duration on all levels. When pressed, KF DUR high-tallies and the E-MEM display shows the current keyframe duration: KF DUR SSS:FF.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions EFF DUR EFF DUR permits editing of the overall length of an effect. The duration of an effect is the time from the beginning of the effect (time 0) to the last keyframe. Effect duration “slides” the overall duration of an effect and scales the delegated levels. Setting Effect Duration applies to all delegated levels. A “natural” duration is one that results from building an effect from scratch.
Master Effects Memory (E-MEM) Subpanel GO TO KF GO TO KF moves the Time Cursor to the specified keyframe on the Master Timeline. To move to the desired keyframe, press the GO TO KF button, enter the number on the keypad, then press the ENTER button. (A 3digit number is entered automatically without pressing ENTER). The MARK button is provided for future clipboard operations. MARK MARK BLOCK The MARK BLOCK button is provided for future clipboard operations.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Run Controls The Run controls on the Master E-MEM subpanel determine the manner in which the selected E-MEM effect will run. STOP NEXT KF HOLD INPUT REV RE WIND RUN STOP NEXT KF HOLD INPUT RUN 2-88 Pressing STOP NEXT KF causes an effect to be stepped through, one Master Timeline keyframe at a time. When on, STOP NEXT KF causes run commands to last the duration of one keyframe, and each lever arm transition to advance the run only one keyframe at a time.
Master Effects Memory (E-MEM) Subpanel The Run lever arm can be used to manually run an effect. Moving the lever arm causes the current effect to run. Normally, the position of the lever arm directly corresponds to the relative percentage of run completion; however, if the lever arm and the effect get out of sync (for example, the lever arm is not at an endpoint when a register is recalled), the remaining lever arm movement is scaled to the remaining effect duration.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Positioner Subpanel The Positioner joystick allows wipe patterns to be moved from their current position to another position on the screen. M/E 1 PRI M/E 1 SEC M/E 2 PRI M/E 2 SEC M/E 3 PRI M/E 3 SEC The delegation buttons located below the joystick (see Figure 2-14) enable control of the primary and (optional) secondary wipe patterns to be delegated to any or all M/Es. If all of the delegation buttons are turned off, the joystick is disabled.
Positioner Subpanel Direction and speed of pattern movement are determined by the direction and distance the joystick is moved. The farther it is moved from the center position, the faster the pattern moves. When released, the joystick returns to its center position, leaving the pattern where it is currently positioned. CTR Pressing the CTR button causes the assigned patterns to automatically center on the screen.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Wipe Subpanel The Wipe subpanel (Figure 2-15) is delegated to controlling any one of the six available wipe pattern generators in the switcher. Each M/E has a primary wipe generator and may have an optional secondary wipe pattern generator. The secondary wipe pattern generator option allows complete independence between the primary and secondary wipes with no interaction between them.
Wipe Subpanel The transition WIPE button on the Transition subpanel always uses the primary wipe generator. Preset wipes, masks, and matte wash can also use the secondary wipe generator. Wipe Delegation DELEGATE M/E 1 PRI M/E 1 SEC M/E 2 PRI M/E 2 SEC M/E 3 PRI M/E 3 SEC Pressing any one of the Wipe delegation buttons at the bottom of the Wipe subpanel delegates the entire Wipe subpanel to the named wipe generator.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions LEARN USER WIPE – The six USER... wipe buttons let you learn a USER 1 USER 2 USER 3 USER 4 USER 5 USER 6 LEARN USER WIPE wipe effect into memory and then recall it all at once. Everything on the Wipe subpanel is learned except the delegate buttons. Upon recall, the stored wipe parameters are transferred to the delegated wipe generator. This shared system allows you to transfer wipe effects from one wipe generator to another.
Wipe Subpanel SYMMETRY BORD WIDTH OPACITY Turning the SYMMETRY knob controls the relative softness between the inside and outside wipe border edges, when the SOFT and BORD buttons are turned on. The last value of SYMMETRY is remembered when either BORD or SOFT is turned off. BORD toggles control of the wipe border on and off. When BORD is on, the adjacent WIDTH and OPACITY knobs become active for modifying the wipe border. The wipe border is functional on transition and preset wipes only.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Rotation Type ROT POS ROT SPD ROT MAG The 3 rotation type buttons, ROT POS, ROT SPD, and ROT MAG are mutually exclusive and toggle on and off. Only one of these buttons can be on at a time. ROTATE ROT POS ROT POS (rotate position) allows rotation of the wipe pattern to a fixed angle. With this mode on, turning the ROTATE knob from its ROT SPD ROT SPD (rotate speed) allows constant rotation of the wipe pattern at a rate adjusted by the ROTATE knob.
Wipe Subpanel Pattern Mix PATT MIX PATTERN MIX PATT MIX toggles the pattern mix mode on or off. When PTN MIX SOURCE is set to NORMAL in the menu, the pattern mix mode causes the delegated wipe generator to mix its pattern with the other wipe generator pattern on a given M/E. (The “other wipe generator” is the secondary generator if delegated to the primary, or the primary generator if delegated to the secondary.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Pattern Modifiers SPLIT The SPLIT button toggles split mode on and off. When split mode is on, the selected wipe pattern is split into two. Split operation is affected by the SPLIT OFFSET button and knob in the Wipe Modifier menu. H MULTI and V MULTI allow multiple copies of the same wipe H MULTI V MULTI pattern to appear. Pressing H MULTI results in an additional copy of the wipe pattern being arranged horizontally (in a row).
Masks Subpanel Masks Subpanel The Masks subpanel (Figure 2-16) services and controls all video key masks in the switcher. A mask is a control signal used to modify a key signal. Delegation of the subpanel allows it to control any of the masks. Buttons and knobs are provided for controlling mask position and aesthetic features.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions INH MASK delegates the Mask subpanel controls for adjusting the INH MASK FORCE MASK inhibit mask. The actual selection of mask inhibit is performed on the Keyer subpanel (see the MASK INH discussion under the Keyer panel description). FORCE MASK delegates the Mask subpanel controls for making adjustments to a forced mask. The actual selection of force mask is performed on the Keyer subpanel (see the FORCE MASK discussion under the Keyer panel description.
Masks Subpanel primary wipe generator. Pattern size and edge softness are still independent of the primary wipe mask source. This is not available on the DSKs. MASK BUS MASK STORE MASK BUS selects a video source to generate the mask. The mask bus is a dedicated video bus in the primary matrix accessed with a bus delegate button in the Aux Bus area of the panel. The mask bus permits any primary or re-entered input to be used as a mask source.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions TOP/GAIN BOTTOM/CLIP TOP/GAIN is a two-purpose knob whose operation is dependent on whether the BOX button or the MASK BUS or MASK STORE button is pressed. If BOX is active, the TOP/GAIN knob controls the top side of the box-style mask (see BOX button description). If MASK BUS or MASK STORE is active, the TOP/GAIN knob controls the gain of the Mask bus clipper.
Frame Stores Subpanel Frame Stores Subpanel The primary functions of the Frame Store option are storage of still video and key images and creation of dropshadows behind keys. Controls for manipulation of these functions are found on the Frame Stores subpanel, shown in Figure 2-17, and in the Frame Store menu, described in the Menu section of this manual. The Frame Store option includes three hardware memory arrays: video channel, key channel, and mask channel.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Output Routing Video and key outputs from the frame store are routed to the switcher crosspoint matrix and may be used as primary switcher inputs. The video and key outputs are also routed to an output module for use by external devices. The mask channel output may be used as a source for the mask generators. It is also routed to the switcher crosspoint matrix for use as a primary switcher input, and to an output module for use by external devices.
Frame Stores Subpanel Operations that can be independently set for video, key and mask channels are as follows: ■ Freeze ■ Grab ■ Field 1 and Field 2 When VIDEO STORE and KEY STORE are selected simultaneously, the key channel settings are automatically aligned with the video channel settings. FRZE GRAB FIELD 1 FIELD 2 The FRZE button provides a freeze/unfreeze function that toggles between states. Press once to freeze, press a second time to unfreeze.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions When an image is read from the frame store in field mode, the “other” field is replicated from the selected field (indicated by the illuminated FIELD button), if REPLICATE mode is selected in the Video Store menu. If INTERPOLATE mode is selected in the menu, the “other” field is interpolated from the selected field. A two-field sequence is the normal default image frozen in the frame store.
Frame Stores Subpanel Dropshadows DROP SHDW H POSITION V POSITION The DROP SHDW button turns shadow mode on and off. OPACITY When shadow mode is on, the H POSITION and V POSITION knobs adjust the horizontal and vertical offset of the shadow from the main key signal. A third knob, OPACITY, adjusts the opacity of the shadow. DROP SHDW mode is functional only with primary video inputs that have an associated linear key signal. No clip and gain adjustments are available to the user.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions External Interface Subpanel EXTERNAL INTERFACE EDIT GPI PERPH TP0348-2 The External Interface subpanel (Figure 2-18), located at the left end of the upper control panel, provides selection of the type of interface to be used to communicate with external devices.

Preview/Mask/Aux Bus Each bus consists of an “A” bus and a “B” bus and is under E-MEM control. The “A” buses are for video only; the “B” buses may be configured for either video or key. Output of Aux Bus 4 to the internal frame store option is available even if the Aux Bus Output option is not installed. To use an aux bus as a simple routing bus: for an “A” bus, press the appropriate Bus Delegate button to select the desired aux bus, then select any primary or re-entry source on the PVW AUX row.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions and the DPM, as described in the “Cable Connections” portion of the Installation and Service manual. NOTE: The Effects Send feature requires that the Effects Send Crosspoint module be installed in Cell 11 of Bay B in the switcher frame, and that Aux Output modules be installed in the appropriate output cells on the back of the switcher frame.
Preview/Mask/Aux Bus Effects Send – Looping Mode Looping mode takes the output of an M/E Keyer, sends it to an external DPM, then returns the output of the DPM to the Mix/Wipe circuit of the same M/E in the switcher. This provides the effect of inserting a DPM right into the M/E, between the Keyer and the Mix/Wipe system. To select Effects Send looping mode, first press the AUX BUS button on the main menu panel, then press the LOG AUX SELECT soft button to select the Aux Bus to be looped.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions Effects Send – Frame Store Looping Mode NOTE: The Frame Store option must be installed in order for the following to apply. The Frame Store option may be used as the device that manipulates the Keyer output. In the Aux Menu, when AUX 4 is selected with the LOG AUX SELECT button, a third choice, FRAME STORE, is added to the EFF LOOP MODE selections.
Preview/Mask/Aux Bus Effects Send – Non-Looping Mode Non-Looping mode takes the output of an M/E Keyer, sends it to an external DPM. The output of the DPM may then be used as an input to the switcher which may be selected on any bus on the control panel. This allows the output of one Keyer to be manipulated by the DPM, then used as a video or key input by the other M/E or the Program/Preset system.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions 2. With one of the BUS DELEGATE buttons, select the (physical) AUX BUS (1-4) that you want to use. With the switcher set up as described previously for non-looping, the DPM output will be routed to the previously-mapped crosspoint column on the Source Select panel. 3. Select the Keyer output to be sent to the DPM by pressing one of the AUX 1-4 EFFECTS SEND ONLY buttons on the PVW/AUX row of buttons (M/E 1B through M/E 3 KEY 2).
Remote Aux Bus Panels Remote Aux Bus Panels The Remote Aux Control Panels allow you to control the switcher aux buses from a remote location. There are three models of the Remote Aux Panels, each identified by the number of rack units (RUs) it occupies in the equipment rack. ■ One RU panel (Option Part Number 088901-00) ■ Two RU panel (Option Part Number 088902-00) ■ Three RU panel (Option Part Number 088903-00) The one RU and two RU panels (Figure 2-24) are functionally identical.
Section 2 — Control Panel Descriptions The three RU panel (Figure 2-25) has large buttons and is designed for locations where it is desirable to operate more than one bus. This panel will normally control all aux buses but can be set up to lock out specific buses.
Remote Aux Bus Panels Rear Panel Switches The rear panel includes a number of switches that control operating modes, such as address, bus enable, delegate enable, and test mode. These switches are set up during installation, as described in the Installation section of the Installation & Service manual.
