Color Correction
The color correctors can operate as Processing Amplifiers (Proc Amps) in the HSL (Y-Cr-Cb) color space or as RGB Color Correctors in the RGB color space. Proc Amps and RGB Color Correctors apply color correction to video on input to the switcher, before the switcher crosspoint.
To Assign a Color Corrector to a Source (UHDTV1 Only)
You must assign a color corrector to an input to correct the color of the video.

Setup
Networking, video I/O setup, canvas layouts, and signalling setup.
- Network Connections
  Setting up network connections to the switcher, as well as network storage and file transfers.
- System Access
  Enable or disable system access and control methods such as RossTalk and FTP.
- Video Reference
  The switcher uses the REF A or B input reference signal on the router directly as a reference clock. The switcher does not rely on the reference settings in Ultrix™ for a reference signal.
- Video Inputs
  Video sources come into the switcher either from the router matrix, or through the HD-BNCs on the SDPE blade. Depending on how you want to use these video sources, or where they come from, you may want the switcher to pair them together, or associate an external device with them. Pairing two video sources together is usually used for an auto select key where an external device, such as a character generator, outputs both a key video and key alpha. Associating a video source with an external device allows special control over that device to become active when you select the source on a bus.
- Video Outputs
  Switcher outputs are routed to destinations in the router matrix or to the HD-BNC on the SDPE blade directly.
- Splicers
  Splicers allow you to use DVEs to position up to four sources (2×2) on a single output. This can be used to position and stitch together the canvas outputs (MiniME™/Tiles) for the downstream LED processors.
- Frame Sync and Format Conversion
  The frame synchronizer / format converter (FSFC) and input i-to-p converters can be used to convert video signals as well as correct mistimed, or drifting, video input signal. The frame synchronizers cannot completely correct badly formatted video, mistimed switches, signal drops, or similar issues.
- Frame Delays
  A delay of up to 13 frames in HD, or 7 frames in UHDTV1, can be added to any input that an FSFC is assigned to. This allows you to delay the timing of an input to compensate for the delay in another source. For example, in a virtual set environment it may take a few frames for the system to track the position of the camera and render the background. In this case you want to delay the foreground cameras to compensate for this delay.
- Input Media-Stores
  Video inputs must be configured as a Media-Store for that Media-Store channel to be available as a source.
- System Real-Time Clock/Date
  The switcher uses an internal clock to generate the time for the clock overlay for the MultiViewer.
- Color Correction
  The color correctors can operate as Processing Amplifiers (Proc Amps) in the HSL (Y-Cr-Cb) color space or as RGB Color Correctors in the RGB color space. Proc Amps and RGB Color Correctors apply color correction to video on input to the switcher, before the switcher crosspoint.
  - To Assign a Color Corrector to a Source (UHDTV1 Only)
    You must assign a color corrector to an input to correct the color of the video.
  - Proc Amp Color Correction
    The Proc Amp video correction allows you to adjust the gain, offset, black level, and gamma of the video signal.
  - RGB Color Correction
    The RGB color correctors allow you to adjust the red, green, and blue component gain, offset, and gamma of the video signal.
  - High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Wide Color Gamut (WCG) Conversion
- Personality
  Personality settings allow you to configure how you interact with the control panel and switcher, as well as how the buttons on the control panel appear. All of these settings are stored in the Personality register.
- Licenses
  Software options allows you to expand the functionality or resources available to the switcher as well as operate in UHDTV1.
- GPI Control
  General Purpose Interface (GPI) is a high/low voltage signalling protocol that allows the switcher to send simple commands to an external device, or receive commands from a device. Each pin on the GPI is set as either high (+5 Volts), or low (0 Volts), and it is the switching between high and low that sends commands to the external device, or to the switcher.
- MultiPanel
  Each frame supports up to 3 independent control connections (Main, Satellite 1, and Satellite 2) as well as Satellite 3/SoftPanel. Each connection, with the exception of SoftPanel, can be from a control panel, DashBoard, or a combination of the two. All devices on the same control connection mirror each other.

To Assign a Color Corrector to a Source (UHDTV1 Only)

You must assign a color corrector to an input to correct the color of the video.

Click Navigation Menu > Configuration > Reference > ProcAmp Color.
Click the PA/CC X button for the color corrector you want to assign to an input.
Click a button to select the video input that you want to assign the color corrector to.

Tip:
Click None to unassign the color corrector.
