MECHANICAL
Standard Crystal Vision module 266mm x 100mm
Weight: 200g
Power consumption: 10 Watts

INPUTS
SDI 270Mbit to EBU 3267-E and SMPTE 259M
3 SDI inputs (Foreground/A, Background/B and key)
Cable equalisation >200m Belden 8281 or equivalent
Auto or manual 625/525 line selection
Active Background loop with RM02 and RM18 frame rear modules
Reference timing can be selected to come from input Foreground, Background or key
Minimum input to output delay approx. 4us
Max input buffer length 2 lines (selectable)

OUTPUTS
Main x 2
Preview x 1 with RM01 frame rear module and x 2 with RM02 and RM18
Both main and preview can be used to show main output, preview Foreground, Background, key, processed key or matte generator
Preview can show combined picture when main output has been faded to Background, or faded to black

CONTROL
From board edge, GPI, local control panel or PAN-SKEY control panel
RS232 or RS485 multi-drop 19,200 baud 8 bit no parity
GPI fade of transition up and transition down

ANCILLARY DATA/EMBEDDED AUDIO
Ancillary data and embedded audio is taken from Background input and inserted to main output

KEYING MODES
Foreground and Background can be mixed, wiped or keyed
Wipes include: horizontal, vertical, horizontal blind, vertical blind, left corner, right corner, box and cross
Key processing can be additive or multiplicative (Additive keying is only required with some caption generators where the Foreground is already processed
Separate Foreground Force and Background Force internal rectangular masks can be combined with external keys in multiplicative (standard) keying
Internal colour matte generator can be used as a fill for keying
Self-key is available from Foreground input
Adjustable key gain, offset and inversion
Key fade function, to fade Foreground in and out (even in multiplicative mode)
Main output has fade to black (available in all modes)
