2.6.3 DVE INTEGRATION
The switcher system has the capability to integrate up to two DVEs in terms
of signal routing and control. This provides the user with more functionality
compared with simply connecting the DVE’s output signals.
In Installation setup, the signal and/or control connections can be defined.
D
Signal connections:
> input for transformed image from DVE, can be any two of the SDI inputs
> output of effect send signals to the DVE, can be any two of the 15 AUX buses
(one for video and one for key)
Since there are no reserved buses for the DVE, this installation setup maps the
logical DVE buses to physical AUX buses.
D
Control connections:
> port for the remote control of the DVE
> type of the DVE (because the various DVEs have a more or less special re-
mote control protocol)
The following table shows the levels and possibilities of the DVE integration.
