Page 64: Signal Selection
Before Beginning Image Creation Signal Selection Pressing a cross-point button selects a signal on the corresponding bus, but in some cases a single row of cross-point buttons is used for more than one bus. In this case it is first necessary to delegate the row of cross-point buttons to the required bus.

Page 67 Using the shift function The 29 cross-point buttons in each row are numbered 0 to 28. Normally the rightmost button is the shift button; the buttons to which signals are assigned are then numbered 0 to 27 in the unshifted state, and 30 to 57 in the shifted state.
Page 68 Before Beginning Image Creation Cross-point button indications In any row of cross-point buttons, the last button pressed is selected, and lights. A button which lights red indicates that the signal is being fed to the corresponding bus, and is forming part of the program output. A button which lights amber is selected, but the signal is not currently reaching the program output.
Page 69: Using The Mix/Effects Banks
Using the Mix/Effects Banks This section describes some of the effects which you can create using mix/ effects banks. Backgrounds and Keys You can use each of the mix/effects banks to insert one or two keys into a background video image. To define a key requires two video signals, the key source, which specifies which part of the background is cut out, and the key fill, which supplies the different video to insert in the cutout.
Page 70: Basic Operating Procedure
Using the Mix/Effects Banks Key types For each of the M/E banks, you can use the following key types. See the page numbers indicated in parenthesis for more details. • Luminance key (page 4-30) • Linear key (page 4-31) • Clean key (page 4-31) •...
Page 71 Prepare the new video. • Select a new background on the background B bus, using the cross- point buttons. • When inserting a key, select the key signals and make any other required settings in the key control section.

Page 72: Selecting The Next Transition
Using the Mix/Effects Banks Checking the status of keys and their priority The ON and OVER indicators above the KEY 1 and KEY 2 buttons in the transition control section provide additional status information for the two keys. The following table shows the significance of the various button and indicator states.

The following example illustrates leaving key 1 unchanged, while changing both the background and key 2. Key 1 Key 1 Key 2...
Page 75: Selecting The Transition Type
The most basic distinction is between an instantaneous transition, or cut, and the various types of gradual transition. The DVS-7250 provides the following types of gradual transition; to select one of these, press the corresponding button in the transition control section, turning it on.
Page 76 Using the Mix/Effects Banks Super Mix dissolve This is another variant dissolve, in which again the new video level is increased from 0% to 100% over the first half of the transition, and the old video is reduced from 100% to 0% over the second half. It is also possible to set the video levels at the mid-point of the transition to a value other than 100%.
Page 77: Setting A Transition Limit
Setting a Transition Limit Normally the range of a transition corresponds to a complete switch from the old video to the new video. Alternatively, using the transition limit function, you can restrict the extent to which the transition is executed, so that in the state corresponding to a 100% movement of the fader lever, the transition is still incomplete.
Page 78: (Continued) Super Mix Settings
Using the Mix/Effects Banks Turn control knob 4 to set the transition limit. Knob Parameter Setting Trans Limit 0.00 to 100.00% • At the minimum limit setting (0%), moving the fader lever has no effect at all. • At the maximum limit setting (100%), the entire transition occurs as normal, but the background A and B buses do not flip-flop.
Page 79: Using The Program/Preset Bank
Using the Program/Preset Bank The PGM/PST bank provides control of the final program output, with background transitions and two downstream key insertions. Overview Types of transition which can be carried out You can carry out any of the following types of transition on the backgrounds or to insert or remove either of the two keys.
Page 80 Using the Program/Preset Bank Select which to carry out, a background transition or a downstream key transition, with the next transition selection buttons in the transition control section. • For a background transition: press the BKGD button, turning it on. •...

Page 82: Executing A Transition
Executing a Transition This section describes the transition execution modes, transition rate setting, and the procedure for executing a transition. Overview Transition execution modes There are two modes: the auto transition mode, carried out by pressing buttons, and the manual transition mode, using the fader levers. It is also possible to combine these two techniques.
Page 83: Setting The Transition Rate
Setting the Transition Rate You can set the rate of an auto transition, by specifying the duration as the number of frames required. Use the following procedure to set the transition rate before pressing the AUTO TRANS button to carry out an auto transition. To set the transition rate, first specify the bank or keyer for which you wish to carry out the setting, then enter the numeric value from the numeric keypad section.
Page 84 Executing a Transition When using the KEY MIX button for a key mix (fading a key in or out) When carrying out a key mix operation in a keyer or downstream keyer using the KEY MIX button on an M/E bank or on the PGM/PST bank, you can specify the keyer or downstream keyer for the transition rate setting as follows.
Page 85: Executing A Transition
Executing a Transition This section describes how to execute a transition on an M/E bank or the PGM/PST bank. Executing an auto transition Use the following procedures to execute an auto transition for all of the items (background and keys) selected by the next transition selection buttons in the transition control section, using the buttons in the auto transition control section.
Page 86 Executing a Transition Inverting the priority of keys 1 and 2 on an M/E bank or downstream keys 1 and 2 on the PGM/PST bank If, for example, key 1 is over key 2 (the key 1 OVER indicator in the transition control section is lit), to instantaneously invert the relation between the two keys, press the KEY PRIOR button in the transition control section, then press the CUT button.
Page 87 Non-sync state If you start a manual transition with the fader lever, then switch to auto transition, the position of the fader lever no longer agrees with the state of the transition. This is termed the non-sync state, and in this state the transition progress indicator appears as shown below, with only the ends (two LEDs) lit.
Page 88 A which feeds the output of each of the mix/effects banks. The DVS-7250 can also, however, operate in bus fixed mode. This treats the two background buses A and B equally: a transition may go from A to B, or back from B to A, and there is no automatic flip-flop.
Page 89 Fader lever operation in bus fixed mode • In the bus fixed mode there is a fixed relationship between the position of the fader lever and the signal output on each bus. Depending on the direction of the transition, the fader lever must therefore always be moved in a particular direction, as shown in the following table.
Page 90: Keys
A component of the system which carries out keying is called a keyer. The DVS-7250 system includes two keyers (KEY1 and KEY2) for each M/E bank and two downstream keyers (DSK1 and DSK2) for the PGM/PST bank.
Page 91 Linear key This is a variant type of luminance key, but with reduced variability in gain. • In a D2 system, the key source signal including the chrominance component is used to determine the key. • In a D1 system, the key source Y signal is used to determine the key. Clean key In a luminance or linear key the key source is used as a mask on both the background (i.e.
Page 92 Keys Edge modifications It is possible to modify the edge of the key in several ways, for example adding a border or softening the edge. Edge modifications require the optional BKDS-7270 Key Border Board to be Option fitted. The following figures illustrate some of the edge modifications. Normal (unmodified) edge Border: You can apply a constant-width border to the edge of the key.
Page 93 Drop border or shadow: There are eight positions (numbered 1 to 8) to apply a drop border or shadow. Drop border (position code 1) Shadow (position code 1) Outline: You can apply an outline to the edge of the key. There are nine possibilities (numbered 0 to 8) for the outline position.
Page 94 Keys Edge fill: When using a border, drop border or shadow effect, you can select the edge fill signal to be inserted in this area. You can select either the dedicated color matte generator, or the external video signal on the utility bus. There are two mattes (1 and 2) and you can also select a combination (mix) of the two;...
Page 95: Key Snapshots
Processed key function The term “processed key” refers to the function whereby a keyer in a switcher operates in combination with an external DME unit to apply a DME effect to a key. When the processed key function is enabled, before combination with the background, the key fill and key source signals produced by the switcher keyer (with borders, shadows and other processing already effected) are output to the DME from the switcher auxiliary buses.
Page 96: Basic Key Setting Operations
Keys Saving and recalling default values of parameters You can make default values of key parameter settings saved in memory for a particular combination of signal selected as the key source on an M/E bank or the DSK block, keyer, and key type. Use a setup menu to save the values (see page 13-31).

Page 120: Wipes
Wipes This section describes the setting operations for carrying out wipes. Overview A wipe is a transition in which the old video is replaced by the new video according to the progressively changing shape of a wipe pattern. A wipe on an M/E bank is called an M/E wipe, and a wipe on the PGM/PST bank is called a PGM/PST wipe.
Page 121 Pattern mix This refers to a combination of two different wipe patterns (referred to as the “main” pattern and the “subsidiary” pattern) selected from the standard wipes, enhanced wipes and mosaic wipes. Note that to use any of the following patterns other than the standard wipes Option requires the optional BKDS-2070 Enhanced Wipe Generator Board to be installed.
Page 122 Wipes “SEMI LINK” mode: The modifier parameter values for the main and subsidiary patterns are linked, but each modifier can be switched on or off independently for the two patterns. If the parameter values of a particular modifier for the two patterns are different when you select this function, then the difference between the two values is preserved, so that changing the value for one pattern changes the value for the other pattern by the same amount.
Page 123 Pattern positioning (POSITIONER): When this function is enabled, you can alter the position of the pattern in video space. Positioning off Positioning on Edge modifications (EDGE): You can apply a border to the edge, or soften the edge. It is also possible to soften the applied border (soft border function).
Page 124 Wipes Changing the aspect ratio (ASPECT): This allows you to vary the aspect ratio of the pattern. Aspect ratio function disabled Aspect ratio changed Replicated patterns (MULTI): This tiles the video space with multiple copies of the pattern, with a maximum of 63 copies in both horizontal and vertical directions.
Page 125 Modulation (H MODULATION and H MODULATION): This modulates the signal with a sine wave, applying a wavy effect either vertically or horizontally. To use modulation requires the optional BKDS-2070 Enhanced Wipe Option Generator Board to be installed. Horizontal modulation Vertical modulation Combinations of patterns and modifiers Depending on the pattern you have selected, not all modifiers may be usable.

Page 173 Making manual color cancel adjustment If the background color is affecting the foreground image, by turning the color cancel function on you can eliminate this effect. Use the following procedure. In the ADJUST menu, set F4 (KEY ACTIVE) to “OFF”. The foreground only appears on the monitor.
Page 174 Basic Chroma Key Operations Making the window adjustment You can adjust the detection range of the information used to produce the key signal. When this function is off, the default range is used for image adjustment. Chroma keying uses a particular hue (typically a blue background color) in the foreground signal to produce the key signal, and the window function specifies the range of signal values to be regarded as this background hue.
Page 175 In the ADJUST menu, set F4 (KEY ACTIVE), F5 (COLOR CANCEL) and F6 (WINDOW). Turn control knobs 1 and 2 clockwise. Knob Parameter Setting Crop Set the CROP value (0.00 to 100.00) Angle Set the ANGLE value (0.00 to 180.00) This sets the CROP and ANGLE values to zero.

Knob Parameter Setting Clip Set clip level on the color cancel key signal (0.00 to 100.00) Gain Set color cancel key gain (0.00 to 100.00) Press any of F4 to F6 as necessary and adjust the parameters. F4 (WINDOW): Adjust the detection range for the key signal.
Page 192 Enhanced Chroma Keying (Single Mode) Adjusting the Y balance In conventional chroma keying, the key signal is formed using the chroma component alone, and therefore if there are portions of the foreground of the same hue they will all be replaced by the background video. Using the Y balance function, however, it is possible to restrict the replacement to a specified intensity range even for the matching hue.
Page 193 Adjusting the chroma key shadow This function provides a more realistic treatment when the shadow of an object in the field of view falls on the blue background. Since parts of the blue background darker than a specified intensity are treated as shadows, there is no effect on cutting out of the foreground.
Page 194: Video Signal Adjustment And Spot Color Adjustment
Enhanced Chroma Keying (Single Mode) Video Signal Adjustment and Spot Color Adjustment When you are using the enhanced chroma key function, it is possible to carry out both overall and localized adjustments to the video signal. The following procedures are the same in both D1 and D2 systems. Overall color adjustment for the foreground and the background You can change the gain and hue for the whole foreground, and for the whole background when using a clean chroma key.
Page 195 Spot color adjustment for the foreground You can make video adjustments for a portion of a specified color (for example red) within the foreground, changing it to a different color (for example yellow), without affecting portions of other colors. Use the following procedure. In the VIDEO CORRECT menu, press F3 (SPOT CCR), turning it on.
