270Mbit to 1.485Gbit serial compliant to EBU 3267-E, SMPTE 259M and SMPTE 292M
All common HD formats supported. All inputs must be same format
HD cable equalisation up to 140m with Belden 1694 or equivalent (approx. 100m with Belden 8281). Cable lengths are for new HD version of frames. SD cable equalisation >250m or equivalent
Input return loss: -15dB fpr 5MHz to 1.5GHz
Reference timing can be selected to come from Foreground, Background or key input
Minimum input to output delay approx. 5us
Max input buffer length one line (selectable)

VIDEO OUTPUTS
Two main and two auxiliary HD or SD outputs, accessed by using RM32 or RM40 frame rear modules. Relay bypass protection of Background with RM40. Outputs follow input format
Main and auxiliary outputs can be used to show main output, preview Foreground, Background, key, processed key or matte generator

KEYING MODES
Foreground and Background can be mixed, wiped or keyed
Wipes include: horizontal, vertical, horizontal blind, vertical blind, left corner, right corner, box and cross
Key processing can be additive and multiplicative (Additive keying is only required with some caption generators where the Foreground is already processed)
Separate Foreground Force and Background Force internal rectangular masks can be combined with external keys in multiplicative (standard) keying
Internal colour matte generator can be used as a fill for keying
Self-key is available from Foreground input
Adjustable key gain, offset and inversion
Key fade function, to fade Foreground in and out
Main outputs have fade to black (available in all modes)

ANCILLARY DATA / EMBEDDED AUDIO
Ancillary data and embedded audio is taken from the selected timing reference
