It incorporates two frame synchronizers, a feature which makes it unnecessary for two video signals to be synchronized. Its dedicated software program, the MX-Navi, enables titles to be downloaded from a PC to facilitate the insertion of titles. In addition to the wipe, mix and digital effects, this unit comes with built-in chroma key and luminance key functions. Since its downstream keys, fade controls and audio mixers can also be used, the effects required for AB roll editing can be added by just this one unit. Connectors for connecting an external controller are also provided. AB roll editing AB roll editing is made possible by the unit's two built-in frame synchronizers. Connection of external editing controller The unit is equipped with GPI and RS-422A/RS-232C connectors to enable an external editing controller to be connected. Digital effect functions By using the unit's internal digital memory, it is possible to mobilize the still, strobe, negative, mono, multi-strobe (division into 4, 9 or 16), mirror, mosaic and paint functions. Field/frame switching is possible for the still, strobe and multi functions. Ripple, multi, spark and other effects can also be provided by adding the 3D optional board (AG-VE70). Audio mixing The unit comes with four sets of input facilities. Mixed effects The unit provides a range of mixed effect functions enabling chroma key, luminance key, mix, wipe and DVE combinations as well as DSK and fading. Internal event memory The unit has a built-in memory that accommodates 100 patterns.

In the case of color settings, the color saturation is set to zero. In the case of position settings, the pattern is centered. This is used to switch the AC power on and off. Select "Power" from the "Setup" initial setting screen: "Reset" is selected to establish the default setting when the power is turned ON, and "Preset" is selected to start operation using the same settings which were in effect upon conclusion of the previous operation. When [Demo] is selected, the demo mode is established after the power is turned on. The demo mode can be exited by selecting [Enter]. When the power is off, the operation panel settings are stored in the memory. 6 HOLD button The joystick operation is stopped when this button is set to ON. However, even when this button is set to ON, the center button can be used. Updating to the joystick value occurs when this button is set to OFF. 2 Joystick The joystick is used both as the XY positioner and the controller for the color settings. It is switched as required. It can set X, Y and Z for patterns that can be positioned. It can also set the color corrector UV white balance and chroma saturation. It can be used as the position X/Y controller for the selection of the blue background when the chroma keys are set. 7 ASPECT ratio control This control is used to set the aspect ratio for key patterns whose aspect ratio can be set. When it is turned in the H direction, the width (horizontal) is increased; when it is turned in the V direction, the height (vertical) is increased. 8 Aspect ON button When this button is at ON, the setting performed by the aspect ratio control takes effect. When it is at OFF, the default aspect ratio (center value) is established. 3 Rotary Z control This control is used to set the key size Z during the key position settings and the luminance setting Y among the color settings. 9 EDITOR enable button Editor enable can enable or disable control using RS422A, and when control is disabled, settings can be performed by manual operations even during editing operations using RS-422A. When the lamp of this button is lighted (ON), the settings from the editor are accepted; when it is off (OFF), the settings are canceled, and the settings can be performed manually. 4 SCENE GRABBER button When this is set to ON with a specific key pattern, it can paste the image in the key onto the pattern and move it. It is possible to select either the multi-strobe or scene grabber (but not both). Whichever one was selected last takes precedence, and the previously selected effects are canceled. 6 Parts and their functions 123 PATTERN REV ONE WAY DSK EFFECTS M df oi y 8 7 6 1 REV (reverse) button LUM CHRM EXT P in P 4 5 6 MIX button This is used to call mix transitions. MIX This button is used to reverse the keys and transition key patterns, reverse the frame in/out, and reverse the chroma key, luminance key, external key and title key signals. The button's lamp flashes with patterns that have no reverse operations, indicating that these patterns cannot be reversed. 7 LUM (luminance) key button This is used to call the luminance key. When it is called, the previous setting is stored in the memory. 8 CHRM (chroma) key button This is used to call the chroma key. When it is called, the previous setting is stored in the memory. 2 ONE WAY button At the AB bus setting stage, this button sets the transition pattern to a pattern from one direction. The button's lamp flashes with preset bus or program bus or with patterns that have no reverse patterns, indicating that the effects cannot be executed. 3 DSK EFFECTS button When this button is set to the ON position, the transition pattern and 3D-DVE are used for DSK. ME is set to Diss. When the DSK effects are ON, the chroma key and luminance key cannot be selected. This button is set to OFF as the default setting, and some patterns cannot be used for the DSK effects. If DSK-Effects has been set to ON for a pattern which is not supported by DSK using a wipe pattern number, the button's lamp flashes to indicate that DSK effects cannot be applied. 4 Direct key pattern buttons These buttons are used to call the key patterns directly. With the setup initial settings, key patterns can be set from the default settings to any patterns. The settings accompanying borders are also stored in the memory for each button. 5 Direct transition pattern buttons These buttons are used to directly call the transition patterns directly. With the setup initial settings, transition patterns can be set from the default settings to any patterns. The settings accompanying borders are also stored in the memory for each button. 7 Parts and their functions 12 PREVIEW ME PRV A PROG A PROG DSK B PRESET B PRESET STILL STROBE VIDEO EFFECTS COLOR EFFECTS 579; EFFECTS 8 B/PRESET bus / STROBE execution button This button forcibly applies the strobe effect to the B/PRESET bus.
