Functional Sections of the Panel

The video effect buttons use the following color scheme:

A video effect button has 3 lines of 8 characters.

The first line of text identifies the video effect itself.

The second line of text identifies the effect assigned to the effect processor.

The third line of text varies:

• For DSKs, VOs, and XG keyers on the preset bus, the third line displays “CUT” or “FADE”

depending on how the effect is armed. If the effect is not armed, the third line of the button dis-
plays nothing.

• For DVEs on the preset bus, the third line displays “ARMED” if the effect was armed. If the

effect is not armed, the third line of the button displays nothing.

• On the program bus, the third line generally is blank, but for XG keyers, the third line might

contain a portion of the XG keyer name if the name is longer than 8 characters.

• On the preset bus, for unarmed XG keyers, the third line generally is blank, the third line might

contain a portion of the XG keyer name if the name is longer than 8 characters.

Downstream Keyers

The 4 keyer buttons are independent toggles. A downstream keyer (DSK) is active when its button
is selected (high-tally) and inactive when its button is low-tally. (A DSK cannot actually be used
when it is non-sync or LOS.)

An external key is usually a pair of video sources

a key and a fill. The key forms a mask for the

fill. An internal key is a stored still frame or an animation. External keys can be provided by an
Intuition XG processor.

A key source overlays the upstream source (and upstream effects) with specified clip, gain, and
transparency parameters that control the key values.

Any DSK button can be associated with any key source, including Intuition XG clips.

DVE

The 4 DVE buttons are independent toggles. A DVE is active (selected) when its button is high-
tally and inactive when its button is low-tally.

A DVE button is pre-configured with a DVE stored in the Imagestore 750.

There are button functions available (‘PGM DVE Enable’ and ‘PST DVE Enable’) that enable or
disable DVEs on the program button row and the preset button row.

Dark

The video effect is not supported by the Imagestore 750.

Low-tally blue

The video effect is not selected.

High-tally blue

The video effect is selected.

High-tally amber An unselected video effect has a problem (e.g. non-sync or LOS). Amber

is a warning flag.

High-tally red

The selected video effect has a problem (e.g. non-sync or LOS). Red is an
error flag or a severe warning.
