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.
If the frame store is not in Freeze mode, its output is delayed by 2
fields if 2-Field mode is selected in the Frame Store menu, or by 4
fields if 4-Field mode is selected. (Mask Store has no 4-Field
mode.)
Still Image Storage
Video and key can be frozen either separately or simultaneously
through the use of panel controls. In addition, the system has
read-before-write capability, so stills can be layered in a recursive
manner. The system accomplishes this by sending the output of
the frame store to the input of an M/E for combination with
another image. A composite is generated that can be fed back to
the input of the frame store and re-frozen.
The VIDEO STORE, KEY STORE, and MASK STORE buttons
select whether the Frame Stores subpanel is assigned to the
video channel, key channel, or mask channel. One of these
buttons is always lit, and VIDEO STORE and KEY STORE
may be selected simultaneously.
