Audio Characteristics_Enabled Channels
-- Deko1000 and Deko550 support up to 4
channels of embedded audio for each Video and Key. These audio channels can be used for
live pass-through, clip record, clip playback or sound effects insertion (refer to the Deko
User’s Guide for details on these features). The “Audio Characteristics” drop down menu
allows you to control which embedded audio channels are used.
Input A (SDI Video A in)_Video Is
-- This parameter provides configuration control for the
Video input on each channel. When used with a corresponding live key input, “Video Is” sets
whether the video signal is “shaped” or “unshaped.” The terms “shaped” and “unshaped”
refer to how a separate key signal is used in conjunction with an associated video (or fill)
signal to represent a non-opaque shape. A video and key pair that has the key “pre-applied”
(or pre-multiplied) to the video signal is considered shaped. A video and key pair that does not
have the key “pre-applied” (or pre-multiplied) to the video signal is considered unshaped.
Note:
Refer to “Appendix B: Using Shaped and Unshaped Keying” for detailed information on shaped and
unshaped keying.
Input A (SDI Video A in)_Embedded Audio
-- This parameter provides configuration
control for the Video input on each channel. The Embedded Audio parameter controls
whether or not embedded audio is to be used on the Video input channel. If “Yes” is selected,
the audio channels selected in the “Audio Characteristics” menu will be used.
Input B (SDI Key A in)_Use This Input?
-- This parameter provides configuration control
for the Key input on each channel. The Key input on each channel must be disabled if it is not
used or if there is no valid signal attached to the physical connector.
Note:
Improper operation will result if this parameter is enabled without a valid input attached.
Input B (SDI Key A in)_Use This Input As
-- This parameter provides configuration control
for the Key input on each channel. When used with the DekoObjex feature, the Key input can
be used as a second Video input for each channel.
Input B (SDI Key A in)_Embedded Audio
-- This parameter provides configuration control
for the Key input on each channel. The Embedded Audio parameter controls whether or not
embedded audio is to be used on the Key (or second) input channel. If “Yes” is selected, the
audio channels selected in the “Audio Characteristics” menu will be used.
The Deko application must be closed and reopened for most of the parameters changes to take
effect. Controls marked with a * will take affect automatically without requiring a restart. The
status windows on the right hand side of the window will provide an overview of any changes that
were made.
