used 625/525-line standard-definition, 720p intermediate-definition and
1080i high definition formats, the DK-2 incorporates background, fill
and key inputs, wipe, matte and garbage-matte generation, independent
main and preview keyers plus EDH reinsertion for the main output. It is
fully transparent to SDI-embedded audio and other ancillary data.
Mechanical relay bypass is available as an option. Features include
10-bit linear keying, manual or automatic transitions, a user-selectable
choice of additive, multiplicative and self-key modes, and AES digital
audio voiceover. Eyeheight's DK-2 is equipped
with inputs for slave fill sync, slave key sync and master input line
sync plus independent programme and preview outputs. An RJ45 port allows
connection of three GPI channels and tally as well as RS232-based
on-board protocol control. It can be fully operated via Ethernet from
anywhere in the world. Designed for use in live
television content creation, the Eyeheight CC-2M colour corrector allows
a production team to ensure consistent colour matching when switching
between multiple camera sources or making significant changes to camera
angle. Operation is via a logical menu system which can be accessed
quickly and easily from the front panel or remotely. The CC-2M colour corrector
allows independent real-time adjustment of red, green and blue component
levels, master gain, lift, gamma and hue. A preview output provides a
configurable split screen showing processed and unprocessed picture. Up
to six plug-in modular colour correction cards can be accommodated in a
1 U intelligent chassis with easy channel switching. Up to eight panels
can be networked. The CC-2M system also includes a maintenance mode to
