 shows a simple video flow diagram for the Model 2200.

Video and key signals enter the input modules of the Model 2200, 
which consist of component analog and/or component serial 
digital formats. The analog signals are converted to digital format, 
and all inputs are timed and conditioned.

The digital signals are then passed to the Video and Effects Section 
where keying and mixing take place. This section also provides 
effect modifications, such as wipes and keyframing, that can be 
applied to selected inputs.

In the Output Section, digital video and key signals are routed to 
the Serial Digital Output Modules and the optional Analog 
Output Module before leaving the Signal Processor.

 

Input video and key signal selections are made by the Crosspoint 
Matrix under control of the system Controller, according to 
operator assignments entered via the Control Panel.

In addition to primary (external) video, secondary (internal) 
sources such as Masks, M/E re-entry video, and optional Effects 
Send are available as inputs to the crosspoint matrix.

Any suitable component digital signal from the Crosspoint matrix 
may feed the Chromatte™ Chroma Keyer Module option. Analog 
Component signals may also be used as Chroma Key sources.

Keyers in each Mix/Effects bank provide outputs to the Mixer 
Interface crosspoints. These outputs may be sent outside the 
switcher for external processing, or may be routed to the M/E 
mixers and wipe generators. The Effects Send outputs can be 
directed to the Framestore option for image capture.
