Note the following important points regarding the block diagram “ Synergy 1 Frame Block
Diagram ” on page 2–2:
• 16 external inputs are routed into the 16x8 crosspoint matrix.
• PGM, PV, and Clean Feed are fed into the 24x8 crosspoint matrix , which then routes the
signal to Aux Buses 3 to 10.
• The crosspoint matrices provide 16 outputs:
~ Background
~ Preset
~ Key 1 Video
~ Key 2 Video
~ Key 3 Video/Aux 1
~ Key 1 Alpha
~ Key 2 Alpha
~ Key 3 Alpha/Aux 2
~ 8 x Aux (Aux Buses 3-10)
• Each output, with the exception of the 8 untimed Aux Buses, is routed through a
Deserializer Module (4000A-061) from which the signals feed the MLE.
• Aux Buses 1 and 2 may be routed through Deserializer Modules , through blanking
circuitry (not shown), re-serialized in Serializer Modules (4000A-062), and out through
BNC connectors.
• The MLE is self-contained, with provisions for several optional modules: Dual Border
Generator (4000A-049), Squeeze & Tease 2D (4000A-048), Squeeze & Tease 3D
(4000A-148), Dual Aspectizer (4000A-050), and the Ultimatte Insider ™. The MLE
outputs the following signals:
~ Program
~ Preview
~ Aux 1 (optionally timed)
~ Aux 2 (optionally timed)
~ Clean Feed (optional)
