The Target Framestore lets you create trails with variable decay (with either
video or a matte fill), sparkles with variable size and intensity, motion blur
and montage (drop-ins) with selectable priority for live video over or under
existing drop-ins. This feature also stores Z, or depth, information, letting
you build solids easily and move live images in front of or behind the frozen
images automatically.
■
Four independent input freeze buffers (two for video, two for textures) per
DVE channel pair.
■
UltraWarp advanced image warping feature.
■
The Defocus feature allows wide band defocusing of the luminance or
chrominance in an image, or both. It is dual channel: you can use it on one
or two video signals, or on one video and one key signal or the background.
Defocus controls include independent horizontal and vertical defocus set-
tings.
■
The Dveous/MX 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/MX can control external switcher
aux buses with frame accurate front/back switching. Three RS422 serial
interfaces let external devices, such as a switcher or edit controller, control
Dveous/MX. An additional RS422 port is used for connecting to the
Dveous/MX Control Panel. There are also 12 GPI (General Purpose
Interface) inputs and 12 GPI outputs.
■
The included CPL Protocol interfaces Dveous/MX to switchers using GVG
Control Protocol Language and is available on any of the 3 remote ports.
■
Internal 16 X 11 crosspoint matrix for source routing.
■
Non-volatile Hard Drive for storing effects.
Options
■
Additional transform boards can be installed for extra HD channels.
■
Another input card can be added to increase the total inputs from 6 to 12.
■
An external floppy drive can be connected to the Dveous/MX control panel
when console mounting blocks access to the on-board drive.
■
Additional control panels can be connected to the Dveous/MX chassis to
allow control from other users. Only one panel can be active at one time.
