page 13-37 for details. In the Synergy Series Operation Guide , refer to Chapter 11, “ DVE Send ” for
complete instructions on the DVE Send feature.

Setting up BNCs for External DVEs
The following procedure allows you to associate physical BNC connectors with a DVE “fill” signal
and an alpha signal for the primary external DVE. During the procedure, refer to the
Input Type
column in your Input Worksheet . These “types” will be entered on the BNC Type Menu for each
external DVE input connected to the frame.
The Main Area of the BNC Menus provide a mini “help” message, plus a Status Box that lists the
following information for the selected BNC:
• BNC — Current name and physical BNC connector (in parentheses). All lines below
refer to this BNC.
• Maps to — Physical control panel button to which the BNC is mapped.
• Type — Input “type” for the selected BNC.
• Tally — Tally assignment for the selected BNC.
• Auto Key — Auto-key association for the selected BNC. Every BNC input has an
associated auto-key, which can be an input (such as an alpha signal), or black (for inputs
such as VTRs or cameras).
• Asp Ratio — Native aspect ratio for the selected BNC.
Note
You must have the DVE Send and Remote Control Software Option
installed to control an external DVE from the Synergy switcher. Refer
to the section “
Installed Options Menus ” on page 2-37 for more
information.
Important All BNC inputs types must be assigned to Video , Alpha , or
Reference , unless the device connected to that BNC input is
controlled by the Synergy switcher.
