Defined below are the terms used in this manual.
WordExplanation
AB Bus system A bus control mode. By executing a transition, the A bus and B bus signals 
are output to the program images alternately.
Ancillary Data The auxiliary data other than the video signals which is transmitted inside 
the data stream of the video serial interface. The data superimposed on the 
vertical blanking period is referred to as the V ancillary data (VANC).
Aspect ratio The ratio between the horizontal and vertical dimensions of an image or 
screen. 
It is 16:9 for the HD format and 4:3 for the SD format.
AUX
[Auxiliary Bus] A spare bus which can be switched by signals other than the main line 
output signals.
AVDL
[Automatic Video  Delayline] A function to automatically adjust the input image signal phase to the 
horizontal synchronization reference signal phase.
BB
[Black burst] The black burst signal. A full-screen black level composite signal which is 
used as the reference signal for gen-lock.
Border The area or margin that is added to the edge of a wipe or key.
Its width and color can be adjusted. The defocusing of the area around a 
border is referred to as the soft effect.
Chroma key This refers to the function for creating the key signals based on the color 
information of the video signals and combining the keys.
Clip The threshold level of the luminance when key signals are created from a 
key source.
Color Background The signals which are output from the internal color generator and used as 
the background image.
Cut This refers to the effect where the display is instantly switched to the next 
image.
Density A parameter which is used to adjust the density of the key signals.
Dot by Dot This treats images as actual size (1) images. With PinP, it allows SD 
images to be combined with HD images with no accompanying deterioration 
in the images themselves.
Down Converter This is the function that converts material in the HD format into the SD 
format.
DSK [Downstream Key] This refers to the key combination process which is performed at the end of 
the mix effect. The key is always combined with the foremost image.
DVE [Digital Video Effect] This refers to the transition patterns accompanying size reductions or slide 
effects.
DVI
[Digital Visual  Interface] A digital video interface standard.
DVI-I can handle both digital signals and analog signals.
Embedded Audio This refers to the audio data packets which are transferred inside the data 
stream of the video serial interface.
Flip Flop system
(PGM/PST system) A bus control mode. The signals selected by the program bus are always 
output as the program images. By executing a transition, the program bus 
and preset bus signals are switched over.
Flying Key This function uses DVE effects to move, expand or reduce key signals. 
						

							188
WordExplanation
Frame Memory A memory which can hold the video signals equivalent to one frame.
Frame Synchronizer A function which matches the synchronization of non-synchronized video 
input signals.
Freeze A function which continues the display of the same image, creating the 
impression that the image has been “frozen”.
FTB [Fade to Black] This is the effect where the background image is faded out to the black 
screen.
Genlock A function for synchronizing the video signals using an external sync signal 
as the reference.
GPI
[General Purpose Interface] Interface signals which control auto transition from an external source.
Hue The color tone of the video signals.
IRE A unit used for video signal levels.
The setup level (black level) of the signals is expressed as 0 IRE, 7.5 IRE, 
etc.
Key Edge The border or shadow added to the edges of keys.
Key Fill The signal that uses key combination processing to fill in the areas left blank 
by the key signals.
Key Gain A parameter which is used to adjust the amplitude of the key signals.
Key Invert A function which inverts the key signals.
Key Mask This is the function that specifies the area for key combination using the 
box pattern, etc. When only part of the area of the key signals is used, key 
combination is executed with the unnecessary area masked.
Key Source The video signals for creating the key signals.
Linear Key The function which combines keys using monochrome key signals with 
gradations in its outlines as a reference.
Lum
[Luminance] The brightness portion of the video signals.
Luminance Key The function which creates key signals based on the luminance (brightness) 
information of the video signals to combine keys.
ME
[Mix Effect] A video effect device which combines a number of video signals to create 
mix, wipe, key and other video signals.
Mix The picture-changing effect produced by overlapping one image with the 
next. 
It is also referred to as “dissolve”.
Multi View  Display This function combines multiple materials and displays them on one screen.
PGM, PVW and the input material can be previewed at the same time on a 
single screen.
OSD [On Screen Display] This function enables settings to be performed on the menu screens which 
are displayed in the monitor output.
PinP [Picture in Picture] This function combines a sub screen image with the background image.
Appendix (glossary) 
						

							189
WordExplanation
PVW
[Preview] The function for checking ahead of time the image which will be output after 
the next transition. The image is output from the PVW system.
PGM
[Program Bus] The bus which always carries the program output signals.
PST
[Preset Bus] The bus which carries the program output signals after the next background 
transition.
Preset Memory The memory in which the control panel statuses can be saved and recalled. 
The button selection statuses as well as the border, color and other setting 
information can be saved in this memory.
RS-422 A serial interface standard. It is the interface used to control the switcher 
from an editor or other external device.
Sat
[Saturation] This refers to the intensity of the color chrominance level of video signals.
SDI
[Serial Digital Interface] The standard by which video signals in various SD and HD formats are 
transmitted along a single coaxial cable.
Self Key A function that creates key signals from key fill signals for combining keys.
Tally The signal which outputs the program output statuses of the input signals to 
an external device. The LED that indicates the program output status on the 
control panel is also referred to as tally.
Transition A function that switches from one image to another. 
Wipe, mix and other effects are available for the images during switching.
Tri-level Sync The sync signal used for HD formats.
Trimming This is the function that eliminates the unnecessary parts at the top, bottom, 
left and/or right of the images which are combined using the PinP function.
Up Converter This is the function that converts material in the SD format into the HD 
format which yields a high resolution.
Wipe A video effect in which one image is gradually replaced by another as the 
boundary between the two is moved using a preselected pattern.
