1–14 • Introduction Synergy Q/MD Engineering Manual (v9.1 MD)
Synergy Q/MD control panels, there are eight buttons in the Preview Overlay area on the switcher
control panel that enable display and control over the following types of information:
Source Identification
Source ID displays the name of the current background video, current preset video, and transition
type. When the
Routing Switcher Interface option is installed, router source names are displayed.
For example:
VTR 1 -W-> CAM 2
The program source is shown in red letters, while the preview source is shown in green letters.
VTR Time Code
If a VTR, disk recorder, video server, or other device using a time code is the current background of
your main preview output, its current time code will be displayed (for example, 12:59:59:23). The
remote port of the device must be connected to the switcher, and the
VTR Remote Control option
and/or Video Server Control option must also be purchased.
If the color of the timecode overlay is yellow, the video that is selected on the Preset Bus is the source
device itself. If the color of the timecode overlay is gray, the video that is selected on the Preset Bus
does not match the timecode of the overlay — a different source has been selected, however, the
system continues to update and display the timecode value.
The VTR Timecode overlay is made up of three elements, the input BNC of the clips, the timecode of
the clips, and the time remaining in the clips.
Configurable Safe Title, Safe Area, and Center Cross Hairs
This places a SMPTE standard safe title, safe area, and center indication over the main preview
output, all of which can then be adapted to fit your specific application.
• Safe Title — a box that outlines the area within which the vast majority of home TV sets
will be able to read text.
• Safe Area — a box that outlines the region within which viewers should be able to
follow action.
• Center Cross Hairs — indicate the center of the picture. This is useful in the alignment
of text and other information.
Time Clock
This places a configurable count-down/count-up timer on the main preview output to time shows,
commercial durations, or other events. Custom Control buttons on the panel can be assigned to reset,
start, stop, or set the clock. This timer can also be made to restart every time a background transition
occurs on air.
Mask Preview
This places a thin outline on the main preview output around the current active box mask.
Intuitive Control Panel with Keyboard Port
The Synergy Q/MD control panel, that comes standard with all Synergy Q/MD systems, has a
PC-compatible PS/2 keyboard port that allows you to connect a standard keyboard to your system.
The keyboard allows you to complete switcher setups and still management more easily.
