Synergy Series Installation Guide (v18) Introduction • 1–17
remote port must be connected to the switcher and the VTR Remote Control Option
must be installed.
• The “ Safe Title and Safe Area ” overlay places a SMPTE standard safe title or safe area
indication over the switcher’s main preview output.
~ Safe title is a box that outlines the area within which the vast majority of home TV
sets will be able to read text.
~ Safe area is a box that outlines the region within which viewers should be able to
follow action.
~ Two horizontal lines inside the box indicate the minimum text size to ensure that the
text (font) is legible on nearly all sizes of television receivers.
• The “ Center Cross Hairs ” overlay places cross hairs on the main preview output to
indicate the center of the picture. It is useful in the alignment of text and other
information.
• The “ Time Clock ” overlay places a count-down or count-up timer on the main preview
output to time commercial durations or other events. Custom Control buttons on the
panel can be assigned to reset, start, stop, or set the clock. A special “auto clock” mode
is included that resets and starts the clock every time a transition occurs on air.
• The “ Mask Preview ” overlay places a thin outline on the main preview output around
any active box mask. The
AREA
buttons in the effects control area determine which box
mask is currently being viewed.
• The Preview Overlay option is a circuit card that installs on the Frame CPU card. Note
that the feature’s buttons are installed, whether or not the option is installed.
Animated Logo Generator (ALG)
The Animated Logo Generator ( CDK-111A-M ) option allows the user to send animated logos or
full-screen stills from the ALG to the switcher. There you can perform any switcher effect on the logo
or still image.
External Downstream Keyer (DSK)
The External Downstream Keyer ( CDK-111A-M ) option allows the user to key stills or animated
logos downstream of the switcher’s own internal downstream keyers. The Synergy switcher can
utilize up to two DSK 3/4s, each having independent PGM and PV outputs with true “look ahead”
preview capability.
Dual Aspectizer
The Dual Aspectizer option, more commonly referred to as simply the Aspectizer , allows the user to
perform live, dual aspect ratio, DTV production from a Synergy SD series control panel. The
Aspectizer dynamically converts the aspect ratio of a video signal in real time, within the Synergy SD
switcher itself. Aspectizer features include:
• 4:3 to 16:9, or 16:9 to 4:3 conversion on any input.
• Pan and scan, letterbox, and pillarbox formats
• Intermediate formats such as 14:9, 14:9 Wide, 14:9 Tall
• Bordering and color background generators
• Functional control via quick presets.
