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.)

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.
