Depth Submodule
The Depth Demultiplexer (Figure 3-17) takes the ten-bit wide two-byte
depth signal and converts it to a 20-bit wide single byte. Since the signal is
still being clocked at half rate, the Depth Interpolation will add a byte
between each of the existing bytes by averaging between the two existing
bytes. The Offset Adder allows the Key Depth to be changed from the
Control Panel by adding an offset to the Depth Signal. This is done to both
Key 1 and Key 2 depth.
The signal from both keys is sent to the Priority Depth Generator which
uses the Depth Signals to decide which key is on the top. The Clip and Gain
circuit after the Priority Depth Generator determines whether the
intersection of the two keys is soft or hard.
The Key 1, Key 2, and DSK Keys all go through a Clip and Gain. This circuit
decides whether or not the key appears based on the Clip and Gain settings
and key opacity. The Depth Shaper sets the key depth to zero where the key
is not on. The depths of the two M/E Keys are then sent to a NAM that
decides which key is the highest layer and sends that key to its output. The
signal is multiplexed and delayed as necessary and sent out as Clean Feed
Depth.
The Program (DSK) Depth is done in a similar manner by sending the
output of the Key 1, Key 2 NAM to another NAM along with the DSK
Depth. The DSK depth is set to full foreground when the DSK is on and
zero when the DSK is off. The output of this NAM is the depth of the
highest key on the DSK.
