setup change smoothly over a 
predetermined time to those of another 
effects setup.
E-MEM® (Effects Memory):  
A GVG effects-
memory system capable of storing and 
recalling switch and control settings of 
switcher effects configurations.
Encoded Chroma Key:  
A chroma key which 
uses an encoded video signal (e.g., from a 
VTR) instead of separate RGB or Y, CR, CB 
signals for deriving the key.
Encoded Video:
  A video signal which 
contains both luminance and chrominance 
information in the same signal. (Also see 
Composite Video, NTSC, and PAL.)
Encoder:  
A device used to create a single 
composite color signal from a set of 
component signals. Commonly used on 
switcher Program and Preview outputs for 
composite monitor requirements. 
Error Message:  
A message generated by 
the program to identify a program error or 
the area in which a malfunction occurs.
Event Number:  
Number assigned by the 
editing system to each performed edit.
Exception Processing:  
The activity of a 
CPU in response to an interrupt in its 
normal execution of instructions.
Execution:  
The carrying out of a particular 
set of instructions.
External Key:  
An input signal to the 
switcher used exclusively as a key source. 
Typically this key source is selected 
automatically with the selection of the key 
fill.
Extrude:
  A title enhancement in which a 
depth dimension is added to the title key 
signal.
F
Fade-to-Black:  
See Preset Black Transition.
Fault Isolation:  
The determination of the 
cause of a failure by identifying a defective 
component or circuit.
Field:  
One complete scan of the TV screen 
by the electron beam. In the NTSC 
standard, two interleaved fields of 262 and 
263 raster lines make up a frame. In the 
PAL standard, two interleaved fields of 
312 and 313 raster lines make up a frame. 
The duration of a field is approximately 1/
60 of a second in NTSC or 1/50 of a second 
in PAL (625 lines).
File:  
A collection of related records in a 
computer system treated as a unit.
Fill or Insert Video:  
The video or matte 
signal used to fill the holes cut in the 
background video by the key signal.
Firmware: 
 Physical devices (integrated 
circuits) that house computer programs. 
(Also see Hardware and Software.)
Flag:  
A bit of information used to tell the 
program that some condition has 
occurred. 
Flip-Flop:  
A transition in which the video 
sources selected on the background buses 
exchange places at the end of the 
transition; for example, the source selected 
on A Background becomes selected on B
