features to create a realistic key as well as video delay and foreground colour
correction. The main features are as follows:
•
Use with any source
– works with 3Gb/s, HD and SD.
•

•
Key on any colour
–
select any key colour including grass.
•
Auto setup
– cursor based auto setup produces optimal chroma key result.
•
Optimise the video
– video proc-amps allows adjustment of foreground and
background video gains and black levels to provide the most realistic composite
image after chroma keying. RGB gain and lift of the Foreground video signal.
•
Offset the graphic generator’s delay
–
up to ten frames of video delay for each
input.
•
Correct timing errors automatically
–
each input has a frame synchroniser
timed to an external reference or selected input.
•
Internal mask generator
–
to overrule the chroma keyer to force areas to be
foreground or background. Use to prevent unwanted keying from reflective
objects or to force keying if the backdrop is too small or damaged.
•
External key input
– use Safire 3 as a linear keyer to key graphics into a video
source, or use as a chroma key mask.
•
Internal matte generator
– use as a fill for Foreground and Background keys.
•
Fade keys
– fade keys up and down with an auto-transition or manually.
•
Fade to Black
– fade main output to black with an auto-transition or manually.
•
Two video outputs
– independent Main and Aux outputs feature routable
sources to display all inputs and outputs.
•
Control
of Safire 3 is most easily achieved by VisionPanel or VisionWeb Control
web browser software. Control can additionally be from SNMP.
•
GPI control
of configuration set-ups and key fade.
•
Supports the following rear module connectors:
RM50, RM73.
