Source Memory

Figure 83. Source Memory Organization

Because a Kalypso source may have two signals (key cut and key fill), dif-
ferent groups of source memory parameters are associated with each
signal. The Kalypso system key buses always have key cut and key fill sig-
nals. The background A and B buses that do not have key cut signals do not
use the key cut group of source memory parameters.

Source memory for the key fill signal has video processing (proc amp)
parameters, and also specifies which key cut signal to use. Source memory
for the key cut signal contains all the keying parameter settings. Some of
these keying parameters are in turn organized into four subgroups, or key
modes. These modes correspond to linear key, luminance key, chroma key,
and preset pattern. A parameter specifying which of the four modes is
being used is included in the key cut portion of source memory. This means
with source memory on, selecting a source with a key fill and a key cut
signal will automatically apply any proc amp settings to the key fill, select
the last used key cut signal which specifies the key mode, and the last used
key memory settings for that key mode will be applied to the key cut signal.
This organizational structure allows source memory to retain different set-
tings for the same source, and it also accommodates split keys.

Because each source on each bus has its own source memory, different set-
tings can be used for the same source on different buses. For example,
Camera 1 on M/E 1 Key 2 can be set up as a chroma key. At the same time,
Camera 1 on M/E 1 Key 3 can be set up as a luminance key with a black
