System Overview
General Description
The Krystal DPM is an advanced technology digital video effects system.
Ten-bit serial digital inputs and outputs, frame-based digital signal pro-
cessing techniques, independent function timeline key framing, and
refined control architecture deliver unparalleled video quality. The ergo-
nomic control panel draws on Grass Valley’s tradition of user-friendly, log-
ically intuitive design.
The Krystal DPM is available in single and multiple channel systems to
meet a wide variety of facility requirements. Krystal systems support a
“pooled” architecture, where one user can acquire and use more than one
channel, or more than one user can acquire separate channels for concur-
rent use. The Krystal system is also designed for tight integration with
peripherals such as production switchers, video editors, and routing
switchers.
