feature allows you to quickly obtain the best automatic chroma key for a selected color, and intuitive
touch-up controls provide further adjustment capabilities, if required.
A “chroma key memory” button is also available on the panel that instantly recalls a previously stored
chroma key setup.
System Options
This section lists the options available for the Synergy Q/MD switchers. Note that all options can be
easily installed in the field.
Additional Q/MD Inputs
The Synergy Q/MD switcher comes standard with 16 multi-definition serial digital inputs plus
re-entries. All digital inputs can be used direct to air, as key alpha channels, or as chroma key sources.
An additional 10 or 16 inputs can be purchased, for a total of 26 or 32 multi-definition digital inputs.
Inputs can be freely assigned to any panel pushbutton or shifted pushbutton. They can also be
“hidden” and accessed only as alpha channels or they can be “locked out” if they are not used. Note
that if
Mnemonics for MLE Sources are purchased, different shows can use completely different sets
of inputs optimally arranged on the control panel with labeling that follows.
MediaCache™ for Global-Store™
MediaCache enables the playout of animated logos, moving graphics, and short uncompressed clips
from the Global-Store. Each output is capable of playing full bandwidth clips independently and
simultaneously.
The duration of the clips depend upon the size of the clips being used. Full screen 1080i images will
take 5 times the storage of a 480i clip. However, a small, animated logo in 1080i will take much less
storage than a full screen 480i clip. Purchase of the MediaCache for Global-Store increases the RAM
capacity from 256MB to 1GB. This allows storage of up to 4 seconds of uncompressed 1080i playout
or 25 Seconds of 480i playout.
Clips and animations are loaded from the system hard disk to the local Still Store RAM at power-up or
when new clips are requested. Clips can be dragged and dropped from external computers to Synergy
Q/MD over Ethernet
Panel Serial Port Expander (Adds 3 RS-422 Ports)
This option connects to any one of the remote ports on the control panel, and provides four serial port
outputs, effectively increasing the number of available ports by three. This “smart” port expander
(BSS4) works with the Synergy Q/MD control panel to seamlessly manage external device traffic.
The additional ports provided by the remote port expander can be assigned and configured for
virtually any devices supported. For example, you can assign a VTR, Router, Robotic Camera and an
Audio Mixer to a single remote port expander.
Note
Refer to the section “ Installed Options ” on page 6-27 for instructions
on how to verify the status of your installed hardware and software
options.
Note
The 360 Systems DigiCart and DigiCart/E cannot be operated from a
remote port expander.
