DVS-7200 • Product Guide
•
Clean — a key that takes advantage of "shaped" video provided by
devices such as digital video effects. Whereas a linear key is
multiplicative in its ability to cut a hole, a "clean" key is additive.
•
Pattern — a key that uses a wipe pattern (and all active pattern
modifiers) to generate a key signal.
Keyers truly make the difference in switchers. There's rarely a production or
commercial today that doesn't involve multi-layer keys — it's a requirement that
can't be overlooked in switcher design. The DVS-7200's key processing capability
is powerful, yet it's also simple to understand and operate. You can express your
creativity and make a storyboard come true — without getting lost in menus.
Key Edge Adjustment
One aspect of the DVS-7200's high quality key processing is the ability to fine tune
and optimize the key signal — independent of the "fill." Through the use of over-
sampling, the key signal's width can be modified in sub-pixel units. Edges can be
trimmed to add dimension and overall realism, and adjustments can be performed
independently to the left and right key edges. Furthermore, because the process
follows the edge itself, even irregularly shaped key signals benefit from Key Edge
processing.
From simple mattes to complex chroma keys, the DVS-7200's Key Edge processing
is another simple tool that yields visually powerful results.
Enhanced Wipe Generator
With the BKDS-2070 option, additional patterns (including matrix wipes) are
added. These include Star, Heart, and the popular "Diamond Dust" wipe. The
enhanced patterns can also be combined with the primary patterns — enabling you
to create new custom wipes.
Snapshot, Effects Memory, and Storage
As the natural by-product of computer controlled switchers, the ability to store and
recall control panel snapshots has become a fundamental production requirement.
Clients come back to change things — sometimes more than once! Producers like
their keys set up just one way — and always that way. And TDs (technical
directors) like to work with special and often highly customized setups — even if
the previous TD had a completely different control panel setup.
These typical situations are a breeze with the DVS-7200. TDs can store and recall
up to 99 "snapshot" memories from the Master E-File panel, and recall up to 32
snapshots as dedicated functions from the optional Shot Box panel. You can even
transition between snapshots. The snapshot data (as well as setup and effects data)
can be archived on an integral floppy disk for long term storage. For live use or
post, snapshots are directly accessible through the Master E-File panel, the Memory
Recall panel or the Shot Box panel.
