Glossary
Serial Digital Video
Passing video data bits in serial form (one bit
after another), along a single wire. Standard
Definition serial digital video (SMPTE 259M)
operates at 270 MBits/sec (2 x 13.5 MHz x 10
bits).
Serial Interface
An interface which allows the switcher to be
controlled remotely by a computer editor or
other serial controller. Data is passed serially
between the editor and the switcher at select-
able baud (transmission) rates.
Serializer
A device that converts parallel digital infor-
mation to serial.
Soft Border
A wipe pattern border which is mixed on the
edges to give a soft effect.
Soft Edge
A pattern edge between two video signals in
which the signals are mixed for a soft effect.
Source
1) An external device providing video. A
source may provide only one video signal, or
it may provide two signals (key fill and key
cut).
2) The video signal(s) from a source, along
with the source definition information asso-
ciated with that source. See
Source Definition .
Source Definition
A definition of the video signals making up a
source, the device type and name of source,
and the default processing and other param-
eters to be used for that source. The Kalypso
system is based on source selection, rather
than choosing crosspoints.
Source Memory
A feature where the last keying and video
processing settings for a source are retained
and re-imposed when that source is re-select-
ed. Default source memory values can be set
for each source on each bus.
SPOP (Single Press Open)
Automatically opening a related menu when
a control panel button is pressed. On the Ka-
lypso system, buttons supporting SPOP are
labeled with a graphical indicator.
Stack
See Key Priority .
Still Store
A device that captures, saves, and outputs a
still video image. On the Kalypso system the
the SuperStore option is a still store with ad-
ditional capabilities, including animation.
Suite
One or more control surfaces configured for
use on the same project.
Suite Preference
A collection of settings used to configure a
suite to create a consistent working environ-
ment for all involved.
Switched Preview
An special output of the system connected to
a dedicated monitor. The operator can select
and switch various system video signals to
that output to preview them.
Sync
(1) General term for a synchronizing signal
or signal component. Digital systems gener-
ally employ an analog external timing refer-
ence signal (such as color black or tri-level
sync) to synchronize different pieces of
equipment. Within the digital signal itself,
however, synchronizing information is car-
ried by special digital codes inserted at the
beginning and end of each active line.
