DFS-700/700P

Processor Unit

1 PGM OUT (program output) connectors

These output the final program output, that is, the

video to which effects have been applied. Connect to

VTR (recorder) and program monitor video input

connectors. The following four types of output are

provided, each with two channels (1 and 2).

SDI (BNC): Output serial digital signals (270 MHz).

COMPOSITE (BNC): Output composite video

signals.

COMPONENT (BNC): Output Betacam format

component video signals (Y, R–Y, B–Y).

S VIDEO (4-pin):Output S-video (Y/C separation)

COMPONENT/COMPOSITE (OPTION) 5 to 8 (BNC-type)

These connectors can be used by installing either of the optional BKDF-701 and BKDF-702/702P boards. When the BKDF-701 board is installed, connect Betacam format component video signals. When the BKDF-702/702P board is installed, connect composite video signals. The signals can be input from a VTR with no time base corrector. When using the BKDF- 701 to input signals from a VTR, they must come through a time base corrector.

7CLEAN OUT connector (BNC-type)

Outputs serial digital signals (270 MHz). Using the setup menu, you can select the output from the following three signals.

CLEAN OUT: The program output signal, without the downstream key inserted.

PVW OUT: The signal output is the same as the program output after completion of the effect transition. The title area can also be shown.

KEY OUT: This outputs a key signal corresponding to the shape of a selected effect. Use it as the key source input to another device.

qa REF. (reference) VIDEO IN connectors (BNC- type) and 75Ω terminator switch

When using this unit synchronized to an external signal, input the external reference signal (black burst). When the 75Ω terminatior switch is in the OFF position, the connectors provide a loop-through connection; with the reference signal input to one connector, the other provides the same reference signal for another device. When not using the loop-through output, the 75Ω terminatior switch must be in the ON position.

signals.

You can use all four formats simultaneously. The same

signals are output from connectors 1 and 2.

2VIDEO INPUT connectors

These input video camera and VTR (player) video signals. The connectors are in four groups, as follows.

8PVW (preview) connector (BNC-type)

This is an analog composite preview output. The signal output is the same as the program output after completion of the effect transition. It is not possible to include the title area.

qs GPI/T (GPI/trigger) 1 and 2 connectors (BNC- type)

Input external trigger signals. These are used when controlling editing with GPI signals or an editor (BVE- 600).

Chapter 2 Location and Function of Parts and Controls

SDI INPUT 1 to 4, (OPTION) 5 to 8 (BNC)

COMPONENT 5/1, 6/2, 7/3, 8/4 (BNC)

COMPONENT/COMPOSITE (OPTION) 5 to 8 (BNC)

S VIDEO (OPTION) 5 to 8 (4-pin)

SDI INPUT 1 to 4, (OPTION) 5 to 8 (BNC-type)

Input serial digital signals (270 MHz).

Connectors 5 to 8 can only be used when the optional BKDF-701 SDI and Component Input Board is installed.

The input signals to these connectors must be synchronized to this unit.

COMPONENT 5/1, 6/2, 7/3, 8/4 (BNC-type) Input Betacam format component video signals.

Y:Input the luminance (Y) signal.

R–Y:Input the R–Y color difference signal.

B–Y:Input the B–Y color difference signal. The input signals to these connectors must be synchronized to this unit. Therefore, when inputing from a VTR, the signal must come through a time base corrector.

The 8/4 column of connectors can be changed to RGB input connectors by a setup menu operation. In this case, connect G (with sync), R, and B signals to Y, R– Y, and B–Y respectively.

When the optional BKDF-702/702P Y/C and Composite Input Board is installed, you can select in the setup menu whether to use the 5/1, 6/2, 7/3, and 8/4 connectors for component inputs 5 to 8 or component inputs 1 to 4.

S VIDEO (OPTION) 5 to 8 (4-pin)

Input S-video (Y/C separation) signals. These connectors can only be used when the optional BKDF- 702/702P board is installed. The signals can be input from a VTR with no time base corrector.

3EDITOR connector (9-pin)

Use this connector when controlling this unit with an editor (PVE-500, BVE-2000 series, or other editing control unit). Using an optional 9-pin remote control cable, connect to the 9-pin control connector of the editor.

4PANEL connector (25-pin)

With the supplied 25-pin control cable, connect to the 25-pin connector of the control panel.

5TALLY connector (25-pin)

Tally signals are output from this connector when the signal input to a VIDEO INPUT connector is selected on the control panel. Connect to the input signal sources (video cameras etc.). The outputs are relay contact signals, with a capacity of 200 mA / 30 V.

6TERMINAL connector (USB type B) This is a USB interface connector. Use it when connecting to a computer for a software version upgrade.

9BLACK BURST OUT 1 to 3 connectors (BNC- type)

These output the black burst signals generated by the synchronizing signal generator internal to this unit. When an external synchronizing signal is input to the REF. VIDEO IN connectors, the black burst signal output is locked to the external synchronizing signal. Use the output from these connectors as a reference synchronizing signal when synchronizing input signal sources (character generators, etc.), or when synchronizing this unit with a VTR or editor to improve the precision of editing.

q; DSK (downstream keyer) KEY IN connectors (BNC-type) and 75 Ω terminator switch

Input the key source signal for a downstream key, from a character generator or other device.

When the 75 Ω terminator switch is in the OFF position, the connectors provide a loop-through connection; with the key signal input to one connector, the other provides the same key source signal to another device. By connecting to an analog component Y connector on this unit, you can use it as a title key source.

When not using the loop-through output, the 75 Ω terminatior switch must be in the ON position.

Connect this to ground as required.

qf - AC IN connector

With the supplied power cord, connect to the AC supply.
