routing, or distribution as all key and bus inputs are essentially zero timed and can
be called up anywhere on the switcher.
•
All keyers are gain adjustable from linear to high gain from the control
panel.
•
Once a source and it's associated key signal are timed to the MVS
switcher it can be selected anywhere with no other timing
considerations.
•
For cut selection there are six terminated external luminance key inputs,
KEYS 1-5 and CGEN, available as well as the chromakey option key
or any insert bus source.
•
For fill selection any of the 10 bus inputs, DSK fill, or any internal
colorizer can be chosen to fill any keyer.
4. What about signal formats ?
The MVS switcher is upgradeable from composite to Y/C or component or from
Y/C to component by adding video board(s) and changing a software command
and a few jumpers on the CPU board. It is also possible to change the switcher
over from one format to another by changing a command and CPU board jumpers
(on revision D and later) providing you have a sufficient number of video boards in
the MVS (one for composite, two for Y/C, and three for component). Please note
that you should consult ECHOlab prior to making any upgrades or reconfiguration
of your system to verify board compatibility and discuss specifics of areas of
concern such as preview/program composite encoder adjustments, colorizer
saturation calibrations, and miscellaneous items such as the optional RGB to YUV
transcoders.
The MVS is not intended to be an inter-format switcher.
You cannot intermix
formats, only change the switchers overall format with a few exceptions.
•
The composite preview and program outputs always provide a
composite output regardless of the format of the MVS (provided the
MVS is operating in it's original factory format or the correct
modification and calibration has been performed). In composite and
Y/C these are full broadcast quality, in component these outputs are
intended for monitoring only.
•
There is an option for inputs 9 and/or 10 in the component version to
transcode from analog RGB to YUV.
