On the Karrera system, a feature allowing a
series of E-MEMs to be recalled in a specific
order with a single command.
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

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.

which the signals are mixed for a soft effect.
Source

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 Karrera
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.

beled with a graphical indicator.

A collection of settings used to configure a
suite to create a consistent working environ-
ment for all involved.
