DFS-700/700P

Chapter 1 Overview

Features of This System

Color correction function

A YUV color correction function is provided for white balance adjustment and general color adjustment.

User program effect and snapshot function

•User program effects: This system has a large number of built-in effects, but also allows the user to create original effects, and save them in memory, for execution in the same way as the built-in effects. Up to twenty user program effect patterns, both linear and nonlinear, can be saved.

•Snapshot function: The processor unit includes snapshot registers 0 to 99, each of which can hold a snapshot of the control panel settings. These can then be recalled as required.

Interfacing with editors

This system is equipped with I/O interfaces for two sets of control signals, allowing operation together with various editing control units.

•Nine-pin interface connector (one input/output):

for A/B roll editing (two players, one recorder) together with a PVE-500, BVE-2000 series, or other editing control unit

•GPI (General Purpose Interface) and trigger

signal connectors (two inputs): for control from external equipment not fitted with the 9-pin interface

This system also supports the background through mode. If connected to a recorder VCR with a preread function, A/B roll editing with a minimum of two VCRs is possible. (In background through mode, the delay to the signal selected on the background bus of this system is 4H. Note that there are restrictions on the effect patterns that can be used for preread editing.)

Option Boards

The DFS-700/700P system has the following option boards.

BKDF-701 SDI and Component Input Board

When this board is installed, it allows all eight video inputs to be used as either SDI or analog component inputs. When using this board, you can select the types of the optional inputs individually, using the setup menu.

BKDF-702/702P Y/C and Composite Input Board

When this board is installed, it allows four video inputs to be used as either Y/C (S-video) or analog composite inputs. When using this board, you can select the types of the optional inputs individually, using the setup menu.

BKDF-711 2nd Channel DME Board

This board provides a second DME channel, enabling two-picture box, two-picture brick, and other effects.

BKDF-712 3D Video Mapping Effects Board

This board provides 3D mapping effects, including 3D page turn, 3D beveled edge, and other effects.

Chapter 1 Overview

Aspect ratio selection

In the setup menu it is possible to select either 4:3 or 16:9 as the screen aspect ratio.

Easy operation for live broadcasting

The following features make this system suitable for live broadcasting from CATV studios and so on.

•Fully-equipped control panel offers easy operability for signal selection and transition setting.

•Parallel tally output and preview output supplied as standard

External synchronizing connectors for higher editing precision

The system is provided with black burst outputs for synchronizing other connected devices, and a genlock input for synchronization to an external signal. This allows more precise editing.

Rack mounting

The processor unit can be mounted in an EIA standard 19-inch rack.
