- Video Mixer
- multi-function video mixer which offers effects, TBC and genlock functions
- fully digital video signal processing
- inputs:
- 3× 4 pin mini DIN Y/C video (S-VHS), 1 Vpp, 75 ohm
- 6× RCA composite video, 1 Vpp, 75 ohm
- 1× 9 pin RGB Amiga signal
- 1× 9 pin D-SUB RS-232 control interface
- output connectors:
- 1× 4 pin mini DIN Y/C video (S-VHS), 1 Vpp, 75 ohm
- 1× RCA composite Video, 1 Vpp, 75 ohm
- sampling 4:2:2 compliant with CCIR601, 768 pixels per line
- signal encoding: PAL-B/G, 4.43 MHz, 50 Hz, SQP
- expansion provides two video channels: channel A and channel B, with different properties
- channel A:
- only one of 4 composite or 2 Y/C video sources can be selected
- RGB input can be selected as source
- limited set of video effects
- channel B:
- any of the 6 composite or 3 Y/C video sources can be selected
- no RGB input
- full set of video effects
- expansion is equipped with a membrane keyboard
- three slide potentiometers to control effects, mix and fade
- brightness, contrast, and color can be adjusted separately for both video channels
- effects:
- CHROMA KEY (blue box) on both the computer and video channels (A+B)
- LUMA KEY on either the computer or video channel (A+B)
- BLACK - instant fade to black for computer or video (A+B)
- INVERT CHROM - negative color (A+B)
- MIX - mixing signals from channels A and B (A+B)
- WIPE - abrupt transition between channels A and B (A+B)
- PAINT - limiting the number of luminance levels (A+B)
- FADE - adjustment of the output signal level; horizontal, vertical, and corner wipes (A+B)
- PIP - picture in picture (to 1/4 or 1/9 size) (A+B)
- STILL - digital freeze frame (B only)
- STROBE - strobe effect with 15 speeds (B only)
- SEPIA - image coloring, supporting 8 colors (B only)
- BACKGROUND - background color generation, supporting 8 colors (B only)
- expansion can be used as genlock with the transition effects mentioned above
- time base correction function (improve image quality of a video source)
- limited video quality when using chroma key on composite video sources
- image disturbance when switching signal sources or changing effects, limiting the usefulness in a professional setup
- all adjustments, functions, and effects can be performed manually or digitally programmed via the RS232 interface using ARexx commands (additional software required)
- freeze frame of channel B can be transferred to Amiga (framegrabber function), this requires additional software and takes approx. 2 minutes per frame
- size: 343×200×60 mm
- illuminated LCD screen (2×16 characters)
- EPROM for retaining all settings
- external power supply, device requires 15-18V, 1A
- expansion was delivered with a demonstration VHS cassette
