It is also possible to assign a shift function to one button, allowing a maximum total of 56 assignable signals.
Page 87 Source name indications Using a setup menu operation, you can assign an identifier of up to eight characters to each signal, for display on the control panel. For details of the procedure for assigning signal names, see page 14-56. The source name display on the control panel shows the specified identifier of up to four characters.
Page 88: Using The Mix/Effects Banks
Using the Mix/Effects Banks This section describes some of the effects which you can create using mix/ effects banks. Backgrounds and Keys You can use each of the mix/effects banks to insert one or two keys into a background video image. To define a key requires two video signals, the key source, which specifies which part of the background is cut out, and the key fill, which supplies the different video to insert in the cutout.
Page 89: Basic Operating Procedure
Key types For each of the M/E banks, you can use the following key types. See the page numbers indicated in parenthesis for more details. • Luminance key (page 4-31) • Linear key (page 4-32) • Clean key (page 4-32) •...
Page 90 Using the Mix/Effects Banks Prepare the new video. • Select a new background on the background B bus, using the cross- point buttons. • When inserting a key, select the key signals and make any other required settings in the key control section. For more details of key signal selection and other settings, see the section “Basic Key Setting Operations”...
Page 91: Selecting The Next Transition
Checking the status of keys and their priority The ON and OVER indicators above the KEY 1 and KEY 2 buttons in the transition control section and the KEY ON buttons in the key control section provide additional status information for the two keys. The following table shows the significance of the various button and indicator states.
Page 92 Using the Mix/Effects Banks In bus flip-flop mode, a background transition always proceeds from background A to background B, and at the end of the transition the signal selections on the two background buses flip-flop. This means that except during a transition it is always background A which feeds the output of each of the mix/effects banks.
Page 93 Carrying out background and key transitions simultaneously You can switch any combination of the background and keys 1 and 2 simultaneously. The following example illustrates leaving key 1 unchanged, while changing both the background and key 2.

Page 95 Super Mix dissolve This is another variant dissolve, in which again the new video level is increased from 0% to 100% over the first half of the transition, and the old video is reduced from 100% to 0% over the second half. It is also possible to set the video levels at the mid-point of the transition to a value other than 100%.
Page 96: Setting A Transition Limit
Using the Mix/Effects Banks Setting a Transition Limit Normally the range of a transition corresponds to a complete switch from the old video to the new video. Alternatively, using the transition limit function, you can restrict the extent to which the transition is executed, so that in the state corresponding to a 100% movement of the fader lever, the transition is still incomplete.
Page 97: Super Mix Settings
Turn control knob 4 to set the transition limit. Knob Parameter Setting Trans Limit 0.00 to 100.00% • At the minimum limit setting (0.00%), moving the fader lever has no effect at all. • At the maximum limit setting (100.00%), the entire transition occurs as normal, but the background A and B buses do not flip-flop.
Page 98: Using The Program/Preset Bank
Using the Program/Preset Bank The PGM/PST bank provides control of the final program output, with background transitions and two downstream key insertions. Overview Types of transition which can be carried out You can carry out any of the following types of transition on the backgrounds or to insert or remove either of the two keys.

Page 101: Executing A Transition
Executing a Transition This section describes the transition execution modes, transition rate setting, and the procedure for executing a transition. Overview Transition execution modes There are two modes: the auto transition mode, carried out by pressing buttons, and the manual transition mode, using the fader levers. It is also possible to combine these two techniques.
Page 102: Setting The Transition Rate
Executing a Transition Setting the Transition Rate You can set the rate of an auto transition, by specifying the duration as the number of frames required. Use the following procedure to set the transition rate before pressing the AUTO TRANS button to carry out an auto transition. To set the transition rate, first specify the bank or keyer for which you wish to carry out the setting, then enter the numeric value from the numeric keypad section.

Page 104: Executing A Transition
Executing a Transition Executing a Transition This section describes how to execute a transition on an M/E bank or the PGM/PST bank. Executing an auto transition Use the following procedures to execute an auto transition for all of the items (background and keys) selected by the next transition selection buttons in the transition control section, using the buttons in the auto transition control section.
Page 105 Inverting the priority of keys 1 and 2 on an M/E bank or downstream keys 1 and 2 on the PGM/PST bank If, for example, key 1 is over key 2 (the key 1 OVER indicator in the transition control section is lit), to instantaneously invert the relation between the two keys, press the KEY PRIOR button in the transition control section, then press the CUT button.
Page 106 Executing a Transition Non-sync state If you start a manual transition with the fader lever, then switch to auto transition, the position of the fader lever no longer agrees with the state of the transition. This is termed the non-sync state, and in this state the transition progress indicator appears as shown below, with only the ends (two LEDs) lit.
Page 107 A which feeds the output of each of the mix/effects banks. The DVS-7250 can also, however, operate in bus fixed mode. This treats the two background buses A and B equally: a transition may go from A to B, or back from B to A, and there is no automatic flip-flop.
Page 108 Executing a Transition Fader lever operation in bus fixed mode • In the bus fixed mode there is a fixed relationship between the position of the fader lever and the signal output on each bus. Depending on the direction of the transition, the fader lever must therefore always be moved in a particular direction, as shown in the following table.
Page 109: Keys
A component of the system which carries out keying is called a keyer. The DVS-7250 system includes two keyers (KEY1 and KEY2) for each M/E bank and two downstream keyers (DSK1 and DSK2) for the PGM/PST bank.
Page 110 Keys Linear key This is a variant type of luminance key, but with reduced variability in gain. • In a D2 system, the key source signal including the chrominance component is used to determine the key. • In a D1 system, the key source Y signal is used to determine the key. Clean key In a luminance or linear key the key source is used as a mask on both the background (i.e.
Page 111 Edge modifications It is possible to modify the edge of the key in several ways, for example adding a border or softening the edge. Edge modifications require the optional BKDS-7270 Key Border Board or Option BKDS-7271 Fine Key/Key Border Board to be fitted. The following figures illustrate some of the edge modifications.
Page 112 Keys Drop border or shadow: When using the BKDS-7270, there are eight positions (numbered 1 to 8) to apply a drop border or shadow.

Page 142: Wipes
Wipes This section describes the setting operations for carrying out wipes. Overview A wipe is a transition in which the old video is replaced by the new video according to the progressively changing shape of a wipe pattern. A wipe on an M/E bank is called an M/E wipe, and a wipe on the PGM/PST bank is called a PGM/PST wipe.
Page 143 Pattern mix This refers to a combination of two different wipe patterns (referred to as the “main” pattern and the “subsidiary” pattern) selected from the standard wipes, enhanced wipes and mosaic wipes. Note that to use any of the following patterns other than the standard wipes Option requires the optional BKDS-2070 Enhanced Wipe Generator Board to be installed.
Page 144 Wipes “SEMI LINK” mode: The modifier parameter values for the main and subsidiary patterns are linked, but each modifier can be switched on or off independently for the two patterns. If the parameter values of a particular modifier for the two patterns are different when you select this function, then the difference between the two values is preserved, so that changing the value for one pattern changes the value for the other pattern by the same amount.
Page 145 Pattern positioning (POSITIONER): When this function is enabled, you can alter the position of the pattern in video space. Positioning off Positioning on Edge modifications (EDGE): You can apply a border to the edge, or soften the edge. It is also possible to soften the applied border (soft border function).

Wipes Using a BKDS-7370 Board This section describes the setting operations for carrying out wipes when the BKDS-7370 Advanced Wipe Board is installed. Overview A wipe is a transition in which the old video is replaced by the new video according to the progressively changing shape of a wipe pattern.
Page 190 Wipes Using a BKDS-7370 Board Pattern mix The term “pattern mix” refers to a new pattern formed by combining two selected wipe patterns (known as the “main” and “subsidiary” patterns). There are four different methods of combination, as follows. Mix (MIX): The effect of the subsidiary pattern is added to the main pattern, modifying its appearance.
Page 191 The following table shows whether you can use a particular combination of wipe patterns with the pattern mix function. Wipe pattern used as the Standard Enhanced Rotary Mosaic Random/ subsidiary pattern wipes wipes wipes wipes dust Wipe pattern used wipes as the main pattern Standard wipes Enhanced wipes...
Page 192 Wipes Using a BKDS-7370 Board Modifying the wipe pattern You can modify wipe patterns in the following ways. The block-capital expressions in parenthesis show how the modification is indicated on the menu screen. Wipe direction (DIRECTION): The wipe can proceed in the forward (“normal”) direction, or the reverse direction.
Page 193 Edge modifications (EDGE): You can apply a border to the edge, or soften the edge. It is also possible to soften the applied border (soft border function). Soft border When you select a border or soft border, the signal which fills these border portions is termed edge fill.
Page 194 Wipes Using a BKDS-7370 Board Changing the aspect ratio (ASPECT): This allows you to vary the aspect ratio of the pattern. Aspect ratio function disabled Aspect ratio changed Pattern rotation (ROTATION): This rotates the pattern, in any of three ways. These are shown in the following figure, along with the names of the parameters used to control them.
Page 195 Spiral (SPIRAL): The pattern is deformed like a whirlpool. Spiral off Spiral on Pairing (PAIRING): The pattern is deformed like a venetian blind. Pairing off Pairing on Replicated patterns (MULTI): This tiles the video space with multiple copies of the pattern, with a maximum of 63 copies in both horizontal and vertical directions.
Page 196 Wipes Using a BKDS-7370 Board Combinations of patterns and modifiers Depending on the pattern you have selected, not all modifiers may be usable. The following table shows which modification settings can be applied to which wipe patterns, with the wipe patterns arranged in groups by their numbers.

Foreground Background Chroma key combined image To use chroma keying on the DVS-7250 system requires the following Option optional boards. BKDS-2031 CHROMAKEY BOARD: Required for standard chroma keying. This provides one chroma keyer on the M/E banks.
Page 217: Basic Chroma Key Operations
Basic Chroma Key Operations This section describes chroma key operations with the BKDS-2031 board only installed. Note that the operation is slightly different in D1 and D2 systems. Preparations Dedicated chroma key inputs and settings • In a D2 system, since one of four key analog component signals (the signals input to the CRK INPUTS connectors on the rear panel of the processor) is used as the foreground video, inputs and settings for these signals are required.
Page 218: Chroma Key Menu
Basic Chroma Key Operations CHROMA KEY Menu For most chroma key operations, you use a chroma key menu for the keyer concerned. Accessing the chroma key menu For example, to access the M/E-1 CHROMA KEY menu, use any of the following operations: •...
Page 219: Basic Operations
Basic Operations You select the foreground from the dedicated chroma key signals, and select the background on the cross-point buttons, then combine them by means of a key transition. In a D1 system only, you can also select the foreground with a cross-point button.
Page 220 Basic Chroma Key Operations Press any of F4 to F8 to select the foreground video. In a D2 system, however, F8 (KEY BUS) does not appear. F4 (1) to F7 (4): input signal to one of the CRK INPUT connectors (CH 1 to CH 4) on the rear panel of the processor.
Page 221: Adjusting The Chroma Key Image
Adjusting the Chroma Key Image There are two ways of adjusting the output from chroma keying: automatically, using the auto chroma key function, or manually, making individual adjustments from the menu. In general the most effective and time-efficient method is to use the auto chroma key function for the initial adjustment, and then only if further adjustment is still required, use the manual facilities.
Page 222 Basic Chroma Key Operations Adjust the parameter settings so that the sample frame is entirely within the area being used for chroma keying (usually the blue background). Knob Parameter Setting H Pos Set the horizontal position of the frame (–50.00 to +50.00) V Pos Set the vertical position of the frame (–50.00 to...
Page 223 Making manual color cancel adjustment If the background color is affecting the foreground image, by turning the color cancel function on you can eliminate this effect. Use the following procedure. In the ADJUST menu, set F4 (KEY ACTIVE) to “OFF”. The foreground only appears on the monitor.
Page 224 Basic Chroma Key Operations Making the window adjustment You can adjust the detection range of the information used to produce the key signal. When this function is off, the default range is used for image adjustment. Chroma keying uses a particular hue (typically a blue background color) in the foreground signal to produce the key signal, and the window function specifies the range of signal values to be regarded as this background hue.
Page 225 In the ADJUST menu, set F4 (KEY ACTIVE), F5 (COLOR CANCEL) and F6 (WINDOW). Turn control knobs 1 and 2 clockwise. Knob Parameter Setting Crop Set the CROP value (0.00 to 100.00) Angle Set the ANGLE value (0.00 to 180.00) This sets the CROP and ANGLE values to zero.
Page 226: Video Signal Adjustment
Basic Chroma Key Operations Video Signal Adjustment You can adjust the gain and hue delay (offset) of the foreground video signal. You can either adjust the overall gain of the signal or adjust the Y and C components separately. The following procedure is the same in both D1 and D2 systems. In the CHROMA KEY menu, select item 3 (VIDEO CORRECT).
Page 227: Chroma Key Masking
Chroma Key Masking If there are unwanted background “holes” in the chroma key image, you can mask these areas off. For chroma key masking you can use the main and subsidiary masks independently or simultaneously on the selected keyer (KEY 1 or KEY 2). The following procedures are thus the same in both D1 and D2 systems.

Page 233: Clean Chroma Key
Clean Chroma Key When you are using the enhanced chroma key function, in the SETUP (CHROMA KEY) menu a clean chroma key is possible. Using 4:4:4 format signals for the background and foreground enables you to obtain a higher quality keyed image than with conventional chroma keying. Clean chroma keying produces an already combined image, so it is not possible to carry out a key transition.
Page 234 Enhanced Chroma Keying (Single Mode) Press F2 (TYPE), to select “CLEAN.” If you select “RGB”, then as when the BKDS-2032 board is not installed (standard chroma keying), after selecting chroma key as the key type on the M/E bank, the combination is carried out by a key transition.
Page 235: Additive Mix
Additive Mix When you are using the enhanced chroma key function, in the SETUP (CHROMA KEY) menu an additive mix is possible. Using an additive mix to combine images In normal chroma keying, a key signal is used to cut a hole in a background, and this is combined with a foreground cut out by the key signal.
Page 236: Image Adjustment Functions
Enhanced Chroma Keying (Single Mode) Adjust the parameter. Knob Parameter Setting Luminance Set luminance (0.00 to 10.00) Within the blue background, portions of intensity lower than the specified value are changed to black. Image Adjustment Functions When you are using the enhanced chroma key function, the following image adjustment functions are the same as when the BKDS-2032 board is not fitted: auto chroma key, window, and key position functions.

Page 240 Enhanced Chroma Keying (Single Mode) Press F4 (AUTO START). The subsidiary key is adjusted automatically, and F2 (DUAL KEY) turns on. The combined picture then appears on the monitor. Adjusting the color cancel key It is possible to adjust the key signal for the color cancel function. Use the following procedure.
Page 241 Adjust the color cancel key parameters. Knob Parameter Setting Clip Set clip level on the color cancel key signal (0.00 to 100.00) Gain Set color cancel key gain (0.00 to 100.00) Press any of F4 to F6 as necessary and adjust the parameters. F4 (WINDOW): Adjust the detection range for the key signal.
Page 242 Enhanced Chroma Keying (Single Mode) Adjusting the Y balance In conventional chroma keying, the key signal is formed using the chroma component alone, and therefore if there are portions of the foreground of the same hue they will all be replaced by the background video. Using the Y balance function, however, it is possible to restrict the replacement to a specified intensity range even for the matching hue.
Page 243 Adjusting the chroma key shadow This function provides a more realistic treatment when the shadow of an object in the field of view falls on the blue background. Since parts of the blue background darker than a specified intensity are treated as shadows, there is no effect on cutting out of the foreground.
Page 244: Video Signal Adjustment And Spot Color Adjustment
Enhanced Chroma Keying (Single Mode) Video Signal Adjustment and Spot Color Adjustment When you are using the enhanced chroma key function, it is possible to carry out both overall and localized adjustments to the video signal. The following procedures are the same in both D1 and D2 systems. Overall color adjustment for the foreground and the background You can change the gain and hue for the whole foreground, and for the whole background when using a clean chroma key.
Page 245 Spot color adjustment for the foreground You can make video adjustments for a portion of a specified color (for example red) within the foreground, changing it to a different color (for example yellow), without affecting portions of other colors. Use the following procedure. In the VIDEO CORRECT menu, press F3 (SPOT CCR), turning it on.
Page 246 Enhanced Chroma Keying (Single Mode) Press F7 (WINDOW), turning it on, and adjust the detection range for the spot color key. Knob Parameter Setting Luminance Set luminance (0.00 to 100.00) Saturation Set saturation (0.00 to 100.00) Set the range of hue (0.00 to 100.00) Press any of F8 to F10 as necessary, to restrict the area for spot color adjustment.
Page 247: Dual Masking
Dual Masking With the enhanced chroma key function, you can use two masks, main and subsidiary, simultaneously. You can also use these masks simultaneously with the main mask and subsidiary mask set for the selected keyer (KEY 1 or KEY 2). The following procedures are the same in both D1 and D2 systems.

Page 290: Overview
Overview Fitting the optional BKDS-7030 Key Frame Control Panel Unit (the key frame control section) in the control panel allows you to build key frame effects. This section gives an overview of key frame effects and the associated operations. Key Frames and Effects A key frame is a set of data which determines the instantaneous state of an image which varies with time.
Page 291: Control Of Dme Effects
Control of DME Effects From the key frame control section you can also control key frames and effects held DME-7000/3000 units (up to four channels) connected to the switcher. Basically operations, from the creation of key frames to the execution of effects, are the same as on the switcher.
Page 292: Organization Of Registers For Key Frame Effects
Overview Organization of Registers for Key Frame Effects The collection of key frames making up an effect is stored in memory, and identified by a register number from 01 to 99. On the switcher each register is divided into seven sub-registers, each holding its allotted data. In a switcher register, the four sub-registers for frame memory 1, frame memory 2, the AUX buses, and for color correction are handled together under the name “USER”.
Page 293: Operation Sequence
Operation Sequence The following diagram shows the principal steps in the process from creating the key frames to the execution of the effect. Selecting a register (see page 8-6) When creating a new effect, select an empty register; to edit an existing effect, select the corresponding register.
