Your switcher can capture EDL data in a file that you load into your NLE suite. Each pin on the GPI is set as either high (+5 Volts), or low (0 Volts), and it is the switching between high and low that sends commands to the external device, or to the switcher.Įdit Decision Lists are files used by non-linear editing (NLE) suites to aid in post-production. General Purpose Interface (GPI) is a high/low voltage signalling protocol that allows the switcher to send simple commands to an external device, or receive commands from a device. All of these settings are stored in the Personality register. Personality settings allow you to configure how you interact with the control panel and switcher, as well as how the buttons on the control panel appear.
Color Correction ( Carbonite Black+ Only)Ĭolor correction in the switcher is performed by either Processing Amplifiers (Proc Amps) in the HSL (Y-Cr-Cb) color space or by RGB Color Correctors in the RGB color space.The switcher uses an internal clock to generate the time for the clock overlay for the MultiViewer.Īudio sources from the audio mixer, clip player, and Media-Store can be sent out the AES outputs of the frame. The frame synchronizers cannot completely correct badly formatted video, mistimed switches, signal drops, or similar issues. The switcher has multiple input frame synchronizer / format converter (FSFC) and input de-interlacers that can be used to convert video input signals to the format that the switcher is operating in, as well as correct mistimed, or drifting, video input signal. The switcher treats the multiple outputs as a single background and translates the keys across the multiple backgrounds. The MultiScreen allows you to output multiple video signals that can be combined into a single scene. The clock can show the current system time or LTC data being sent to the switcher. Video inputs or outputs on the switcher, including Program, Preview, and Media-Store channels, can be assigned to any box on the MultiViewer.ĭepending on the format the switcher is operating in, the MultiViewer may output a different video format than the switcher is operating in.
The MultiViewer allows you to view multiple video sources from a single output BNC. The BNC outputs can have any video source in the switcher, including Media-Store channels, aux bus, and clean feed assigned to them. Associating a video source with an external device allows special control over that device to become active when you select the source on a bus. Pairing two video sources together is usually used for an auto select key where an external device, such as a character generator, outputs both a key video and key alpha. Depending on how you want to use these video sources, or where they come from, you may want the switcher to pair them together, or associate an external device with them. Some feature and resources are not compatible with all switcher modes.Įxternal video sources come into the switcher through the input BNCs, and internal sources are generated internally from the switcher. The switcher mode allows you to set the features and resources that you want to have available on your switcher. The flexible reference system in the switcher allows you to use an Interlaced video format as the reference to operate the switcher in a video format of the same frequency. The switcher requires a network connection for the DashBoard interface as well as any control panel you want to use. Reference and video I/O setup, canvas layouts, and signalling setup.
