Glossary
RAM Recorder
A device that captures, saves, and outputs a
still video image or in some cases motion
video clips. On the Kayak system the RAM
Recorder option can capture still images, mo-
tion video, and animation for playback. The
RAM Recorder is also referred to as a Still
Store.
Recall
To restore a previous panel setup that has
been learned using E-MEM.
Reclocking
The process of clocking the data with a re-
generated clock to remove jitter.
Resource
A capability of the system, typically consist-
ing of a set of circuitry.
Register
A place to store an effect.
Saturation
The degree of purity of a color. Adding white
to a color reduces its degree of saturation.
Self Key
A key effect in which a single video signal
serves as both the key cut and key fill.
Serial Digital Video
Passing video data bits in serial form (one bit
after another), along a single wire.
Serial Interface
An interface which allows the switcher to be
controlled remotely by a computer editor or
other serial controller. Data is passed serially
between the editor and the switcher at select-
able baud (transmission) rates.
Serializer
A device that converts parallel digital infor-
mation to serial.
Snapshot
An E-MEM with only one keyframe.
Soft Border
A wipe pattern border which is mixed on the
edges to give a soft effect.
Soft Edge
A pattern edge between two video signals in
which the signals are mixed for a soft effect.
Source
1) An external device providing video. A
source may provide only one video signal, or
it may provide two signals (key fill and key
cut).
2) The video signal(s) from a source, along
with the source definition information asso-
ciated with that source.
SPOP (Single Press Open)
Automatically opening a related menu when
a control panel button is pressed.
Stack
See Key Priority on page 542
Still Store
A device that captures, saves, and outputs a
still video image. On the KayakDD system
the RAM Recorder option is a still store with
additional capabilities, including animation.
Store (Learn)
To save a panel setup using E-MEM.
Sync
1) General term for a synchronizing signal or
signal component. Digital systems generally
employ an analog external timing reference
signal (such as color black or tri-level sync) to
synchronize different pieces of equipment.
Within the digital signal itself, however, syn-
chronizing information is carried by special
digital codes inserted at the beginning and
end of each active line.
