Symptom

Recommendations

 

 

Poor Quality Video

Check the video source for proper operation. Ensure that video sources are

 

not doubly terminated. (Double termination can occur when one video

 

source is split into two using a “T” connector instead of a distribution

 

amplifier.) If you are using a VCR, check the quality of the tape. Adjust

 

the brightness and contrast controls. If you are using the chroma key

 

function, see below.

 

 

Poor Quality in Chroma Key

Check that the chroma key is correctly set up. See Appendix B, “Video

Mode

Levels and Chroma Key,”. Chroma keying is best accomplished on solid

 

colors. Do not key on dithered backgrounds, such as crosshatching and dot

 

patterns. Note that some computer graphics software uses dithering to

 

obtain certain colors or gray values. Also, keying video in over a color-

 

ramped background (consisting of a series of graduated shades) may

 

produce an inconsistent, speckled result in the region where the ramp

 

shades closely approximate the limits of the key color range.

 

 

Motion Blur on Frozen or

command.

 

 

No Text on a terminal

Enable the echo mode when using an ASCII terminal or terminal emulation

 

program to control the system from the RS-232 port, if you wish to see

 

your own typed entries. Use the ECHO command to enable or disable the

 

echo mode.

 

When using an application program running on a computer to control the

 

SuperView’s functions over the RS-232 port, you may need to disable the

 

echo mode.

application

Check that the baud rate for the SuperView and your console device are set

 

 

to the same speed. You can set the SuperView to a 9600 baud rate from the

 

front panel Miscellaneous menu. Set your serial console to a matching

 

baud rate and communications should be established. See Appendix A .
