Section 3 — Functional Description
Effects Send Module (064809) (Slot A11) The Effects Send Module receives video and key signals from the Mixer
Interface Modules.
The Effects Send Module can send two keys and two A video signals (key
fill) onto aux buses. The aux buses can then send the video and key through
the Output Module to an effects generator. The effects generator will then
send the modified signals back through the Input and Crosspoint Modules
to the same aux bus. The aux bus will route the video and key signals back
to the Effects Send Module which will send the signals back to the Mixer
Interface Module.
The Effects Send Module will encode, decode, shape, and unshape the
video as necessary.
Inputs:
There are two sets of input signals to the Effects Send Module:
■The keys and their associated video that are to be “sent.” These signals
come from the Mixer Interface Modules. These inputs are sent out on
the aux bus(es) to an effects generator
■The other inputs are the same signals after they have been modified by
the effects generator and returned via the aux bus
Outputs:
There are two groups of outputs for the Effects Send Module:
■The output signals to the Mixer Interface Module. These signals come
from the effects generator via the aux buses
■The aux bus signals to the effects generator. These signals come from
the Mixer Interface Module
Processors Used:
■HOS processor
