Glossary

Component Video

A video signal that keeps color and lumi-
nance information separate. RGB; Y, R-Y, B-Y;
and Y, Cr, Cb are examples of component
video.

Composite Video

An encoded video signal that combines color
information with luminance information.
NTSC, PAL, and D-2 are examples of com-
posite video.

Compositing

Combining two or more video signals to-
gether into one output signal.

Control Signal

A signal used to perform an alteration or
transition of video signals. For example, con-
trol signals are used for keying, masking,
and wipe transitions.

Control Surface

The set of controls available to a single oper-
ator. These controls may reside on separate
but related control panels.

Cross Fade

.

Crosspoint

An electronic switch, usually controlled by a
button on the panel, that allows video or au-
dio to pass when the switch is closed.

Cut

An instantaneous switch from one picture to
another. Switching circuitry allows cuts only
during the vertical interval of the video sig-
nal to prevent disruption of the picture.

VDR (Video Disk Recorder)

A video recorder and playback device using
hard disk storage in place of video tape.

Delegate

To assign panel controls to a particular oper-
ating function. Some panel controls (buttons,
knobs, joystick) can affect more than one
function. The operator can choose an alterna-
tive function by delegating the panel controls
to that function (typically by pressing or
holding down a panel button).

tion to parallel.

to open a related menu. Buttons supporting
DPOP are labeled with a graphical indicator.

Effect

A setup of panel controls specifying the
sources involved and any processing applied
to those sources. Effects can be learned
(saved) and recalled by the E-MEM effects
memory system.

Effect Transition

Recalling an E-MEM effect so that a transi-
tion is automatically performed at the start of
the recall.

Effects Processor

The portion of a switcher that performs mix-
es, wipes and cuts between background
and/or effects key video signals.

E-MEM Effects Memory

A feature that permits control panel setups to
be stored for later recall.

Engineering Setups

On the GV Switcher system, a collection of
configuration settings that establishes an es-
sential baseline for system operation and in-
tegrates the system into a facility.
