Example SE-2800 and CG-350 Set Up
An example set up for the
DSK1 and DSK2
feature would be to supply separate HD-SDI
Key
and
Fill
signals from
a
Datavideo
CG-350 Character Generator PC
. This PC can provide CG overlays of text and graphics from the
outputs of a 3
rd
party PCIe video card such as
Blackmagic Design’s
Decklink HD Extreme 3D+ card
.
1.
Ensure the
CG-350 software
is set up for
External key
in its settings.
2.
The
Key
signal from the Decklink card is then fed to
input 9
on the SE-2800 (see diagram below). Press and
hold down the DSK1 button on the lower row. The Preset row of input sources will light, choose input 9. The
input will flash to confirm it is selected. This selection will also be confirmed on the HDMI Multi-view, with a T1
shown next to the selected input image.
3.
The
Fill
signal from the Decklink card is then fed to
input 10
on the SE-2800 (see diagram below).
4.
Now go into the multi-view menu by pressing ENTER on the SE-2800 keyboard. Navigate to
DSK SETTINGS
> TITLES 1
and choose
TITLES + a-CH MODE
. The SE-2800 will automatically use inputs 9 and 10 as key
and fill.
If you have two CG-350 computers then the same steps can be used for DSK2 set up but using inputs 11, 12 and
the second CG-350 PC.
If you have an SE-2800 with only eight input channels, then you could set up a single key and fill DSK, using inputs
5 and 6. This leaves six other video input channels to work with.
If you have an SE-2800 with only eight input channels and need to use two DSKs then separate Luma key set ups
can be created using the instructions on
page 22
. This leaves six other video input channels to work with.
