• Composite Analog Video Plus Key – one each video and key input at 10-
bit resolution. This is selectable for 525 (NTSC) or 625 (PAL) operation,
and has high impedance looping inputs for connection to multiple
devices. It also provides advanced adaptive comb filtering for maintaining
the quality of moving images and high resolution graphics.

A separate Channel Output module is available as an option. This module
provides the output from each channel pair upstream of the Combiner
feeding the main output module. Each Channel Output module has video
and key outputs for its respective channel pair (1A/1B or 2A/2B), with the
video unshaped and not keyed over a background. They occupy the input 9/
10 and/or 11/12 slots, which means that have 8 inputs available in this
configuration. The Channel Output format is serial component digital only.

The Shot Box option is a small Control Panel intended for use in an on-air
or live environment for recalling and running effects. Its buttons duplicate
those in the On-Air and Timeline Control sections on the main Control
Panel. It lets you directly access any effect and any keyframe in an effect. You
can also freeze the input signal to each channel and run effects forward or
backward from the Shot Box.

The reTouch Color Corrector option offers wide range color correction and
modification in either RGB or YUV space for each DVE channel input
independently.

The Defocus option allows wide band defocusing of the luminance or
chrominance in an image, or both. It is dual channel: you can use it on one
or two video signals, or on one video and one key signal or the background.
Defocus controls include independent horizontal and vertical defocus
settings.

The Target Framestore option lets you create trails with variable decay (with
either video or a matte fill), sparkles with variable size and intensity, motion
blur, and montage (drop-ins) with selectable priority for live video over or
under existing drop-ins. This option also stores Z, or depth, information,
letting you build solids easily and move live images in front of or behind the
frozen images automatically.

The CPL Protocol Converter module interfaces DVEOUS to switchers
using GVG Control Protocol Language (models 3000 and 4000).
