The DVEOUS chassis supports two output modules, and there are two
types you can choose from. Both types have a serial component digital video
outputs and digital key outputs. They differ in their analog outputs:
• Composite analog video and key outputs
• Component analog video and key outputs

The DVEOUS Control Panel has a high resolution graphics display and a
3.5" high density (1.44MB) MS-DOS format floppy disk drive. You can
use the floppy drive to store and recall effects and engineering setup files.

Remote interfacing capabilities. DVEOUS can control external switcher
aux buses with frame accurate front/back switching. Serial interfaces let
external devices, such as a switcher or edit controller, control DVEOUS.
DVEOUS supports the Abekas LINC timeline control, SMPTE, Sony
VTR, GVG CPL, and Phillips/BTS Diamond Digital Switcher protocols.
There are also 12 GPI (General Purpose Interface) inputs and 12 GPI
outputs.

An optional second DVE board adds a second pair of twin channels to
expand DVEOUS to a full two-channel (each channel has both video and
key) or a four-channel (video only) system.

DVEOUS supports up to 12 inputs (six dual-input modules). You can add
input modules in any combination to suit your application:
• Dual Serial Digital – two identical 10-bit inputs; either can be video or
key.
• Dual Parallel Digital – two identical 10-bit inputs; either can be video or
key.
• Dual Component Analog – two identical 8-bit resolution inputs; either
can be video or key. Both are software selectable for SMPTE, Betacam
®
(525 or 625, setup or no setup), MII®, RGB (setup or no setup), or key
(setup or no setup). Sync must be present on Y or G on the A input
source; the B input can lock to the A input if sync is not present on the B
input source (such as a key source without sync).
• Component Analog Video Plus Key – one each video and key input at 10-
bit resolution. The video input is software selectable for SMPTE, Betacam
(525 or 625, setup or no setup), MII, or RGB (setup or no setup). The key
input is selectable for setup or no setup. This input has an external sync
input, or can take sync on Y or G on the video input; the key input can
use sync from the video input if separate sync is not present.
