for externally created logos.
Creating Graphics for Logo Use

Creating Master Artwork
Create the logo artwork using a standard drawing or paint program. The
LogoMotion Utilities require two graphics files: one for the video (Fill)
signal and one for the Key signal to generate an MGI file.
The LGI-6801 uses both the Fill video signal and the Key signal. The
VES-6801 uses only the Fill signal.
If you are not familiar with the concept of keying and Key signals, we
recommend that you research this topic thoroughly before proceeding to
create graphics artwork for logo use. Linear keying is perhaps the largest
challenge in the creation of quality logos for on-air use. Leitch has
available several Applications Notes that describe Keying in detail.
Contact your local Leitch representative, or visit us at
http://www.leitch.com.
Most drawing/paint programs allow you to select the pixel resolution
and color depth. These selections can greatly affect the quality of the
final logo. See “Selecting the Pixel Size and Color Resolution of the
Graphic” on page 5 for further information.
Both the Fill and the Key signals must be sized and processed identically.
Otherwise, the two will not align, and the keyed result may appear
misaligned. Many graphics programs provide for the manipulation of
many simultaneous channels together, simplifying this task. On some
systems that do not provide for Alpha or Key channels, a separate
graphics file must be created and processed identical to that of the Fill
graphics file.

Graphic and Logo Creation Chapter 1: Logo Utilities for 6800 Series Modules
Selecting the Pixel Size and Color Resolution of the Graphic

Most drawing/paint programs allow you to select the size of the graphics
file, which is typically measured in pixels. The choice of pixel resolution
can affect the quality and size of the graphics file.
6800 series modules are serial digital products that store all logos
according to the CCIR-601 format. Another term commonly used to
The LGI-6801 stores two video denote the CCIR-601 format is 4:2:2(:4). This format defines a

Key signals). The VES-6801

pixels (also referred to as lines) depending on the line standard in use.
(Fill only). For 525/60 systems, the number of active video lines is 486, and for 625/
50 systems, the number of active video lines is 576.
A video Fill Key signal is stored in full color, with three channels of video
components. For the purposes of this discussion, we will assume that the
three channels are red, green, and blue (RGB). The second video image
stored is a linear Key signal (a monochrome signal composed of a single
luminance channel). Other terms used to denote the linear Key signal
are: Key, Alpha, and Matte channel.
For CCIR-601 purists: Although the CCIR-601 specification defines the
three video channels as Y/Cb/Cr, most graphics systems operate only in
the RGB domain. The Logo Utilities automatically convert from the RGB
domain to Y/Cb/Cr domain. The Cb/Cr channels have one-half the
number of pixels as the Y channel. Because the Utilities require the full
number of pixels in the RGB domain, they will correctly create the Y/Cb/
Cr pixels for the final logo file.
The Logo Utilities work with all pixel resolutions and color depths. Best
results can be achieved with specific pixel resolutions and color depths.
The “ideal” pixel resolutions for the 6800 series modules are:
• 525/60 operation: 720 horizontal pixels x 486 vertical pixels/lines
• 625/50 operation: 720 horizontal pixels x 576 vertical pixels/lines
The “ideal” Key Fill color depths are:
• Fill graphic images: 24 bits per pixel (8 bits per RGB)
• Key graphic images: 8 bits per pixel (luminance or grayscale only)
The VES-6801 can store 30-bit RGB images as 10-bit Y/Cb/Cr.
It is better to operate in the highest possible resolutions, rather than
lower ones. The Logo Utilities automatically scale all graphic files to the
correct resolutions for use in 6800 series modules.

Aspect Ratios and the Ubiquitous Square Pixel

The aspect ratio for almost all video screens in the television and
graphics world is typically 4:3. This implies that the horizontal width is
1/3 larger than the vertical height. However, a pixel in the television
world is not the same size as a pixel in the computer graphics world.
Computer graphics generally use a square pixel. Typical screen
resolutions in the computer graphics world are 640 x 480, 800 x 600,
1024 x 768, etc., all of which are exactly a 4:3 ratio. Since the screen pixel
aspect ratio matches the screen physical aspect ratio, each pixel is square.
This means, for example, that a box that is 50 pixels wide and 50 pixels
high will appear as a square with four equal-length sides.
Television systems operate with the same ratio video screens (4:3), but
the ratio of the number of pixels to the number of lines is not 4:3. In the
525/60 world, a 720 x 486 image works out to a ratio of 4:2.7.
In the 625/50 world, a 720 x 576 image works out to a ratio of 4:3.2.
When graphics are created on a computer graphics system with square
pixels, and then transferred to a television system with non-square
pixels, aspect ratio distortion can occur. This distortion causes the
graphic to appear stretched or squashed in the vertical and/or horizontal
direction.
A simple technique can be used to eliminate aspect ratio distortion.
Using a higher resolution is Instead of creating graphics at the television-pixel sizes, create the

whether you are working in the 525/60 world or the 625/50 world.
Creating the Logo on a Black Background

All area around the logo must be filled with a solid black background.
The easiest way to achieve this is to start the creation process with a solid
black image and then draw the logo. This process must be done with
both the Fill and the Key graphics.

Sizing and Positioning the Logo

The Logo Utilities always assume that the graphics files for the Fill and
Key represent a full-screen view of the video screen. The VES-680 only
stores full-screen logos.
The Logo Utilities allow you to create logos in a variety of sizes. The
LGI-6801 is limited to the storage and playback of logos one-ninth in
size. The maximum size logo can only occupy one-third of the
horizontal and vertical dimensions of a full screen.
For consistency, the Logo Utilities will always capture the logo from the
bottom right corner of the graphics file. Regardless of the size and
location of the logo during the creation stage, the logo must be reduced
in size and positioned within an imaginary one-ninth box in the bottom
right corner.
Although the logo is captured in the bottom right corner, logos may be
easily repositioned at any time after being stored on the LGI-6801
module. There is no positioning available with the VES-6801 module.
The Video and Key graphics must be located in identical positions in the
graphics files, or the logo will not display properly. The logo may be
positioned against the bottom or right edge without concern for safe title
or safe action.
Creating Logo Graphics

To properly create the Logo graphics file, follow these steps:
1. Create full-screen graphics with solid black backgrounds for both the
Fill and the Key in one of the recommended 4:3-ratio
resolutions.Create the Logo graphic (and corresponding Key
graphic, if necessary) in the blank black graphics mentioned above.
Remember to make both the Fill and Key the same size to preserve
alignment. For the LGI-6801, shrink the Logo graphic to one-third
the horizontal dimension and one-third the vertical dimension of the
full-screen graphic. Repeat for the Key graphic.
2. Position the shrunken Logo graphic into the full-screen graphic at
the bottom right corner.
Repeat for the Key graphic. The full screen now contains the logo in
the lower righthand corner of the screen.
3. Save this file, and use it and the corresponding Key to create the MGI
file.

Using the Logo Graphics Conversion and Download Utilities

With the Logo Graphics Conversion and Download Utilities™, Logo
graphics files must be loaded into the 6800 series module directly from a
DOS- or Windows-based computer. Two versions of the utilities are
available: LogoDOS operates in a DOS text mode, and LogoWIN
operates in a Microsoft Windows [3.1/95/NT] environment. Both
utilities offer the same functionality and support a wide range of
graphics file formats.

Figure 1-2. Supported Graphics Formats
Running LogoDOS
If the logo has been created in an unsupported format such as video
industry-specific formats GVG Paint (.TV) or Quantel Paintbox (.QTL),
you must contact the software manufacturer for a utility to convert the
graphic to one of the industry-standard formats listed above.
To start the LogoDOS program from the DOS command line:
1. Type LOGODOS at the C: prompt. The LogoDOS command line
syntax is: <drive:<path\> LOGODOS<options>
Supported options are: COMx (where x is 1, 2, 3 or 4).
2. Type in the appropriate COM port in place of the x parameter.
The default COM port is COM1. Selecting COMO will disable
communications, but still allow the utility to operate.
When the utility begins, communication is established with the 6800
series module. The program determines the logos currently stored in the
system and displays the options:
• C (Create a new MGI file)
• S (Send the MGI file to the Logo Generator)

• I (Information on the MGI files)

• R (Retrieve an MGI file)
• D (Delete a logo)
These are explored in greater detail in the following sections.
Creating a New MGI File

This option allows for the creation of MGI logo files that can be stored
on the computer hard drive and downloaded to the 6800 series module
as needed. To create an MGI logo file, select “C” at the LogoDOS main
menu and respond to the prompts as they appear on the screen.
The LGI-6801 supports logos one-ninth in size static mode. The
VES-6801 supports full-screen logos. Only these two selection types will
be discussed.
The following information is required:
1. Size–For LGI-6801, select 9 for one-ninth screen.
For VES-6801, select 1 for full screen.
2. Video Standard– Select 2 for D1 525 (4:2:2 270 Mb/s component) or 3
for D1 625 (4:2:2 270 Mb/s component).
3. Resolution– Select 1 for 8-bit or 2 for 10-bit.
4. File Name (with extension) of the Video Fill graphic– If the file is not
located in the same directory as the LogoDOS program, enter the
drive, path and filename of the graphics file.
5. File Name (with extension) of the Key graphic—Drive and path must
also be provided if the file is not located in the same directory as the
LogoDOS program.
A logo may be created without the use of a separate linear Key file. The
LogoDOS utility can perform a Self-Key using the Fill graphics file and a
luminance slice level. When entering the linear Key filename, enter
NUL, and you will be prompted for a slice level. Select the slice level by
determining a luminance level higher than the background (black) level,
but lower than any pixel in the logo itself. If unsure, select 10 IRE as a
starting point, and adjust after looking at the Key signal created.

Sending an MGI File to Logo Generator

After the MGI file has been created and saved, the logo may be
downloaded to the 6800 series module by selecting S at the LogoDOS
main menu. A list of available MGI files is displayed. At the command

LGI-6801 Serial Digital Logo
Generator/Inserter Module
Overview
The LGI-6801 is a plug-in module for generating and keying logos into a
4:2:2 digital video program stream. Both 625- and 525- line standards
are supported. Logos are stored in flash memory chips on the module
and may be downloaded to the module from a DOS- or Windows-based
computer through an RS232 serial interface.
Up to two logos can be stored on each module, with each logo sized up
to 214 x 160 pixels. The LGI-6801 offers control of logo position, fade
rates, and logo keyer on/off from the front of the module. GPI interfaces
are provided to control logo selection, keyer enable, transition type and
fade rates.

Operation
The following controls and indicators are located at the front edge of the
module:
Controls
• The Selector 16-position rotary switch selects the control parameters
as specified in the table on page 24.
• The Adjuster 2-position toggle switch (SW2) is used to adjust the
parameter values.
• The Service Push button allows you to locate the position of the
particular module in the network when modules are linked together
over a 75Ω network (DigiNet) and connected to the central
controller (PC or Leitch DigiNet panel).
LED Indicators
• The 625 Auto 525 - 360, 270, 143 LEDs (green) indicate the standard.
The 525/625 LEDs indicate the detected standard if the Auto LED is
on and the forced line standard if it is off.
• The Data Pres. LED (green) indicates that a valid source of serial
digital video is present at the input of the module.
• The Service LED (amber) lights up briefly at power up. During
normal operation, it remains off. If the Service LED is blinking or on
continuously, a hardware failure is detected.
Jumpers
• The ICLK jumper must be installed.
• The OCLK jumper is not used.
• The Frame ID is made possible by reading the silicon serial number, if
installed in the RJ11 connector at the back of the frame. The two
jumpers are shipped in the Off position from the factory. Both
jumpers must be in the On position to enable reading of the Frame ID.

VES-6801 Flash EPROM Slide Module
Overview
The VES-6801 is a 6800 family module that uses a Flash EPROM to store
two 8-bit slides or one 10-bit slide. The VES-6801-2 is a dual-channel
version, capable of storing the same number of slides for two
independent output channels. Unless otherwise noted, references to the
VES-6801 include both the single– and the dual– channel modules.
The standard of operation is 270 Mb/s, which conforms to SMPTE 259
M-C in either 525/60 or 625/50 line standards. The 8- or 10-bit
resolution is set at the time of slide download.
When shipped from the factory, the module is loaded with verification
slides. These are used for test purposes and are not intended for use as
test slides. It is recommended that after your initial confirmation testing,
these verification slides be erased and replaced with your own slides

DSK-6801/3 Downstream Serial Keyer
Overview
The Downstream Serial Keyers (DSK) 6801 and 6803 are designed to
meet the need for the insertion of high-quality key signals in today’s
busy production and post production facilities. The production market
is demanding increasing numbers of key insertions into program video,
and the DSK-6801 and DSK-6803 are important supplements to the
limited keying capability of current production switchers.
The DSK-6801/3 modules are standalone serial digital keyers with a full
complement of features, many of which are found on high-end
production switchers. Some of the features offered by both the
DSK-6801 and the DSK-6803 include:
• Support of a 270 Mb/s 525/625 program and Fill/Key input signals.
All inputs auto time, with approximately ± one-half line timing
buffers.
• Error Detection Handling (EDH) on inputs and EDH insertion on
the program output.
• A 10-bit program path, coupled to 12-bit internal keyers, to provide
optimum quality.
• Passing of all ancillary data present in the program path. (Any
embedded audio is also passed, uninterrupted.)
• Ability to use the Keyer in A/B Background Transition (Roll) mode,
without keys. In this mode, the Fill path is used as a second
background (B), to be wiped or faded from the program channel (A)
DSK-6801 Keyer features.

Chapter 4: DSK-6801/3 Downstream Serial Keyer Installing and Setup
Installing and Setup

System Setup Considerations
The items in this section should be read and implemented at the time of
installation.
Standard Selection
The Keyer is equipped to:
• Force a given standard (either 525 or 625 lines).
• Allow the module to auto detect the incoming standard.
In sensitive applications the standard should be set to 525 or to 625.
Make sure the appropriate line rate is always selected.
Lock Source
There are two modes of locking the Keyer to the given sources:
1. Lock to the incoming PGM input.
The operator can only adjust horizontal timing toward minimum
length or toward one full line length in delay.
2. Lock to an external analog reference.
In this mode, both horizontal and vertical timing adjustments are
available. Adjusting the Keyer timing for proper Keyer operation
compensates for the relative difference between reference V and
program V.

Installing and Setup Chapter 4: DSK-6801/3 Downstream Serial Keyer
Keyer Timing
Keyer timing is derived from the lock source. The lock source can be
either the PGM input or the external analog reference.
Using the PGM input as the lock source, Keyer timing operates with the
Keyer set to one half line delay, with the Fill and Key inputs autotimed
from within ± one half line. The Fill and Key inputs are automatically
adjusted to fit within the timing window. This selection allows the
timing to be adjusted as follows:
• Minimum timing can be adjusted by reducing the Horizontal phase
towards zero. Make sure after adjustment that the Fill and Key inputs
still fall within the timing window. See “Position 5: SW2 System
Horizontal Timing” on page 75.
• Using the external analog reference as the lock source, keyer timing
operates in much the same way as when locked to PGM input. The
main difference is that both the horizontal and vertical timing can be
adjusted. See “Position 5: SW3 System Vertical Timing” on page 75.
• In the external analog Reference mode, the delay of the video signal
may be a concern. If so, the delay can be adjusted toward a full line.
• If Key and Fill fall beyond the timing window, the keying operation is
An error is displayed if Key or not usually allowed. To override this function, set the Sync Detection
Fill are beyond the timing to Off. See “Position 7: SW3 Sync Detection” on page 77.
range. See “Error LEDs” table
on page 53.
To aid the timing alignment, the operator should use the auto timing
function to phase the internal timing to the program Key and Fill serial
videos. The timing is varied for both horizontal and vertical, so all three
inputs (Program, Key, and Fill) are within the one-line window. If the
input signals are spread over more than one line and alignment is not
possible, an error is displayed and the sources must be corrected
externally. See “DSK-CP1/2 Downstream Serial Keyer Control Panel”
table on page 91.
Multiple Keyer Control/Group ID

The DSK-CPx uses the Group ID function to control multiple Keyers.
Each Keyer is set up with an individual address (Keyer ID) and can then
be configured to work using Group IDs, controlled by the DSK-CPx.
You may need to set different Group IDs, depending on how the network
layout and module control is handled. See “DSK-CP1/2 Downstream
Serial Keyer Control Panel” on page 91.

Switch SW2 to select one of three possible Shift States (Shift State 0, 1,
and 2). Each Shift State provides access for up to 15 different
control/setup options. Upon powering up, the module is automatically
set to Shift State 0. Shift State 1 and 2 are accessed as follows:
1. Move SW1 to Position 0.
2. Toggle SW2 up or down to achieve the desired Shift State.
In Hex Position 0, when a Shift
State is inactive for
The Shift State LEDs on the front edge of the module indicate the current

Settings for Shift State 0: General Functions

This section gives a more complete description of the Keyer Module
controls for Shift State 0. It is organized by Hex Switch Positions
(Position 1, 2, etc.). Shift Hex Position 0 is not included in the following
listing since its function never changes.
Position 1: SW2 Key Offset

Key Offset (incremental/decremental) varies between 0 and 1024 with
the standard being 64.
• Subtract the Offset (or Clip) value from the Key Input.
• Push SW2 up to increase the Key Offset.
Position 1: SW# is not used.
• Push SW2 down to decrease the Key Offset.
• Set Key Offset to 0 with a gain of 16 to display Key full on screen with
no program.
Position 2: SW2 Key Gain

Key Gain varies between 0.5 and 64 times.
• Multiply the Gain value by the Key Input and combine with the
Offset to get the actual Key.
Position 2: SW3 is not used.
• Push SW2 up to increase the Gain value.
• Push SW2 down to decrease the Gain.
Position 3: SW2 Key Transparency

Key Transparency varies between 0% and 100%.
• Set the transparency to 100% to fully apply the selected Gain and
Offset.

• Set the Transparency to zero (0%) so nothing is keyed to the output.
• Push SW2 up to increase Transparency.
• Push SW2 down to decrease the Transparency.

Position 4: SW2 Key Source

Key Source indicates whether the Key signal should be taken from the
external Key Input (Normal) or extracted from the Fill Input luminance

of the Fill.
• Toggling SW2 cycles through the selections available.
• LED indication:
MOD1 External
MOD2 Self
A/B Roll A/B Roll mode
Chroma Key Chroma Key mode
Position 4: SW3 Key Invert

Key Invert takes an inverted version of the Key Input to perform the
keying. The effect of this is the same as subtracting the Key from the
maximum white value (i.e. black where the input is white and vice
versa).
• Push the SW3 up to activate.
• Push the SW3 down to deactivate.
• LED indication:
MOD3 Invert Off
MOD4 Invert On

Position 5: SW2 Key Mask On/Off

The Key Mask overrides the Key signal in the area outside where it is
placed.
• Push the SW2 up to activate the Key Mask.
• Push the SW2 down to select the Off function.
• LED indication:
MOD1 Mask Off
MOD2 Mask On
Position 5: SW3 Key Mask Invert

Mask Invert applies a mask everywhere except the area covered by the
existing mask.
• Push the SW3 up to select the Key Mask Invert On.
• Push the SW3 down to select the Off function.
• LED indication:
MOD3 Mask Invert Off
MOD4 Mask Invert On
Position 6: SW2 Key Mask, Top Edge

Key Mask, Top Edge Out/In is adjusted using SW2.
Push SW2 up or down for top vertical adjustments.
Position 6: SW3 Key Mask, Bottom Edge

Key Mask Bottom Edge Out/In is adjusted using SW3.
Push SW3 up or down for bottom vertical adjustments.

Key Mask Left Edge Out/In is adjusted using SW2, for left horizontal
adjustments.
Position 7: SW3 Key Mask, Right Edge

Key Mask Right Edge Out/In is adjusted using SW3, for right horizontal
adjustments.

Position 8: SW3 Key Force

This position sets the Key Mask into Force mode. This means the
masked area is forced to be fully On. Normal mode is Off.
Position 8: SW2 is not used. • Push the SW3 down to select On (forced mode enabled).
• Push the SW3 up to select Off.
The Force Key can be applied when the mask is Off.
• LED indication:
MOD3 Normal mode (Mask)
MOD Force mode
Position 9: SW2 Additive Key

The Additive Key selection puts the Keyer into an Additive Key mode.
The Key cuts a hole into Program, and Fill is added to Result.
Position 9: SW3 is not used. • Push the SW2 up to select the On position.
• Push the SW2 down to select the Off position.
• LED indication:
MOD1 Normal (Mix) Key
MOD2 Additive Key

Position A: SW2 FTB Fade Rate

The value indicates the number of frames a Fade To Black will take, the
minimum being zero and maximum being 100 frames. The current rate
is indicated on the LEDs.
Position A: SW3 is not used.
• Push SW2 up to increase the FTB Fade Rate.
• Push SW2 down to decrease the FTB Fade Rate.
See the Transition Table below to determine the FTB Fade Rate.
Transition Rates
Transition Rate LEDs State
9+ MOD4 Flashing
19 + MOD4 On
29 + MOD3 Flashing
39 + MOD3 On
49 + MOD2 Flashing
59 + MOD2 On
69 + MOD1 Flashing
79 + MOD1 On
For example, if the rate is 35 frames, the MOD4 LED will be On and the
MOD3 LED flashes. This continues as the rate is adjusted until it reaches
29 or 40 frames. The Fade Rate remains on the LEDs until the Hex
Switch is turned (to a different position) or SW2 is adjusted.
Position B: SW2 Fade To Black

Push the SW2 up to activate Fade to Black.
Push the SW2 down to deactivate Fade to Black.
If the FTB is in transition, a Key Fade cannot be started. A Fade in the
opposite direction will take effect.

Position B: SW3 Cut To Black

Push the SW3 up to activate Cut to Black.
Push the SW3 down to deactivate Cut to Black.
Position C: SW3 is not used.
Position D: SW2 is not used.
Position D: SW3 is not used.
Position E: SW2 Set Key Fade Rate

Set Key Fade Rate is the rate at which the fade takes place. See “Control
Settings” on page 56.
Position E: SW3 is not used. • Push SW2 up to increase the rate or down to decrease it.
• Push the SW2 up to activate the Fade Key.
• Push the SW2 down to deactivate the Fade Key.
The active function of the Fade Key is to fade the keyed video onto the
PGM/Program output.
Deactivation causes the keyed video to fade Off.
If a Fade is already in progress, a Fade in the same direction has no effect;
a Fade in the opposite direction will take effect.
When FTB is active (black is shown on PGM OUT), the Key Transition
rate is ignored. Any Key Transitions performed while the output is black
act as a Key Cut. Then the Fill may or may not be keyed depending on
the Fade Key setting.
Position F: SW3 Cut Key

The Cut Key transitions the Key On or Off instantly. When in black (FTB
is active), the Cut Key switch has the same function as the Fade Key
switch and operates in the same manner.

Settings for Shift State 1: Extended Setup

Position 1: SW2 Wipe/Fade Select

The Key Transition Type Select is used to choose between Wipe or Fade
Key Transitions. SW2 functions are Up = Wipe and Down = Fade. Wipe
Transition Type is available only on the DSK-6803.
Position 1: SW3 is not used. LED indication:
MOD1 Key Transition Type is Wipe.
MOD2 Key Transition Type is Fade.
Position 2: SW2 Pattern Select

The Pattern Select function provides a selection of patterns used for a
Wipe. The following table shows the LED indicators and their
corresponding pattern. The graphics (see Figure 4-8 on page 69)
illustrates the patterns available for selection. SW2 is used to toggle
through the selections. Watch the LEDs to select the desired pattern.

Figure 4-8. Wipe Patterns
Position 3: SW2 Wipe Direction

Wipe Direction at Normal setting provides a Key Wipe Off, which occurs
in the same direction as the Key Wipe On.
In the Normal/Reverse setting, the Wipe Off takes the opposite direction
of the Wipe On.
The actual direction in which the Wipe moves is determined by the
Pattern Select setting and the Wipe Invert setting.
SW2 functions are Up = Normal /Reverse and Down=Normal.
LED indication:
MOD1 Normal
MOD2 Normal Reverse

Position 3: SW3 Wipe Direction Invert

Wipe Pattern Direction Invert is used to reverse the Wipe Direction
when set to Normal. In Normal/Reverse, this selection causes only the

Position 6: SW2 Chroma Hue

Chroma Hue changes the color for chroma keying. Toggling the switch
Up or Down changes the selected color.
Position 7: SW2 Chroma Saturation

Chroma Saturation changes the saturation of color for chroma keying.
Position 8: SW2 Chroma Discrimination

Chroma Discrimination controls the range of color for chroma keying.
A high Chroma Discrimination setting provides a narrow range of color

(SW2 and SW3 are not used).

Settings for Shift State 2: Configuration

Position 1: SW2 GPI 1 Action
The General Purpose Interface 1 (GPI 1) Action state allows the GPI
Input behavior to be configured to Key Fade or Key Cut and FTB Fade or
FTB Cut.
For the action of each of these settings and more details, see “GPI
Control” on page 79.
Position 1: SW3 GPI 1 Type

GPI 1 Type can be configured as follows:
• Inputs: Rising Edge/Falling Edge/Active High /Active Low/Off.
• Tally: Tally High/Tally Low.
• GPI control settings are cycled through by toggling SW3 Up or
Down.
• A GPI Input will perform the assigned action when the trigger is
detected.
• A GPI Tally sets its output level to the assigned Tally Active Level
when its trigger condition is in effect, and sets its output to the
opposite level when the condition is not found.
• A Tally that acts on Key On will be active whenever the Key is even
slightly On Air (similar to the behavior of the On AIR LED). This is
the normal use for a Tally.
• A GPI can be assigned as an output to give a similar indication for
Fade to Black.
• The Error Triggers are presented such that the Tally Output can
indicate the error or feed a GPI Input (of another Keyer), which may
be used to override the erroneous signal.

GPI 1 Type LED indicators are described in the following table:

The GPI 1 Type allows the GPI 1 to become active by a (configurable)

detected level or edge.
The Active High setting allows the GPI to become active upon detection
of a high level.
The Active Low setting allows the GPI to become active upon detection
of a low level.
The GPI Tally can be configured as Tally High or Tally Low. The GPI
state is toggled by the rising or falling edge of the input, as is typical
behavior from a normally open, momentary closure push button.
The Off setting causes the GPI to be ignored and the LEDs to flash.
Possible settings can be cycled through by toggling SW3 up or down.
Position 2: SW2 GPI 2 Action

GPI 2 Action and GPI 2 Type function in the same manner as GPI 1
Type and Action.
GPI 2 must be enabled through jumpers in order for these settings to
take effect. See “BNC Selection, Jumper Setup, and Switch Setup” on
page 53 for settings.
Position 2: SW3 GPI 2 Type

See GPI 1 Type above.

Not available in this release.
Position 4: SW2 GPI 4 Action & SW3 GPI 4 Type

The next four positions

(Positions 5 and 6) work in
association with each other to
adjust the Internal Timing to the
three Input serial signals:
Program, Fill, and Key. Normally,
modifying the Vertical and Field
Timing can cause unpredictable
results and is only adjusted to
bring an External Reference in
line with the Program, Fill, and
Key Input serial signals. All three
Inputs must be within the one
line window for the system to
function properly.
Position 5: SW2 System Horizontal Timing

System Horizontal Timing is used to manually adjust the horizontal
timing, to reduce the time length of the module (delay) towards zero, or
to increase it towards one line.
Use SW2 to toggle this function.
Position 5: SW3 System Vertical Timing

System Vertical Timing is used to manually adjust the vertical timing.
This is normally handled by the Auto Timing function and only needs to
be manually adjusted to bring an External Reference in line with the
main Program, Fill, and Key.

Position 6: SW2 System Field Timing

System Field Timing is used in association with the previously
mentioned Timing functions: Position 5 SW2 and SW3. This function
allows manual adjustments to the System Field Timing, and is used to
bring an External Reference in line with the main Program, Fill, and Key
inputs.
Position 6: SW3 Auto System Timing

Auto System Timing works in association with the other System Timing
functions. The Auto System Timing function brings all three Input serial
signals within the one-line window and centers the Horizontal Timing
setting. If necessary, the Horizontal Timing can then be manually
adjusted. See “Position 5: SW2 System Horizontal Timing” on page 64
for more information. Ensure all inputs still fall within the Timing
window.
Three LEDs are used to display the following information:
MOD1 Illuminates when the Program signal is out of time.
MOD2 Illuminates when the Fill signal is out of time.
MOD3 Illuminates when the Key signal is out of time.
The Error LED also illuminates if any of the three Input signals are out of
time. If there are any errors after Auto Timing and the module cannot
compensate for the differences in signal timing, the Error LED is
illuminated, and the timing must be corrected externally (as
documented previously in Positions 5 and 6).
Position 7: SW2 Set Standard

Set Standard (525/Auto/625) allows the video standard to be configured
for 525-line, 625-line, or Automatic Detection from the PGM Input. The
possible settings can be cycled through by toggling SW2 Up or Down.

Position 7: SW3 Sync Detection

If Sync Detection On/Off default setting is enabled (On), when the
module detects a Sync Error, the error codes are displayed and the Key is
cut.
Set Sync Detection Off to disable the module cutting the Key. This also
allows the input to fall outside the timing window. Error codes are still
displayed, and keying is allowed.
Use SW3 to toggle Sync Detection On/Off.
LED indication:
MOD4 On
MOD3 On
Position 8: SW2 External Sync Type

The External Sync Type control selects the type of sync, either composite
300 mV or 4 V.
Use SW2 to toggle Ext Sync Type selections.
LED indicators:
MOD1 4V sync
MOD2 300 mV composite
Position 8: SW3 External/Program Sync Select

External/Program Sync Select is where the reference for Internal Timing
is taken, from either External Sync or the Main Serial Program feed.
Use SW3 to toggle Ext/Program Sync selections.
LED indication:
Select Ext Sync to lock to External Reference Sync. For proper operation,
both Lock and External Sync LEDs should be on.

Position 9: SW2 Mask Reset

Mask Reset is used to re-position the Mask. Use the left switch (SW2) to
toggle Up and Down and to move the Mask into view.
Position 9: SW3 is not used. For Keyer ID Upper Address value, see “Keyer Module Controls” table
on page 57.
Position A: SW2 and SW3 are

not used.
Position B: SW2
This position is used to set the Keyer ID Address value. See “Keyer
Module Controls” on page 57.
Position C: SW2
This position is used to set the Keyer ID Lower Address value.
Position D: SW2 and SW3 are

not used.
Position E: SW2 and SW3 are
not used.
Position F: SW2 Recall Factory Default Key Settings

The Recall Factory Default Key Settings function resets the Keyer with
the factory set defaults. This means that a DSK-CPx controlling a DSK-
6801/3 may lose contact with the Keyer since its Keyer ID has been reset
(when the factory default feature was activated). The Keyer ID will have
to be set to the old Keyer ID value, or the DSK-CPx can be set to control
the DSK-6801/3 at its factory default Keyer ID value.

Position F: SW3 Recall Factory Default System Settings

The Recall Factory Default System Settings function resets the Keyer
with the default system settings.
GPI Control
A second control method is available using GPI Control, GPI, or GPI 2.
The GPIs can be programmed to be edge triggered or level-triggered,
and can be assigned to the functions shown in the following table.
Function GPI Mode Level (Active Low) Edge
Fade Key Low = Fade On Toggle current state
High = Fade Off
CUT Key Low = Cut On Toggle current state
High = Cut Off
Fade to Black Low = Fade to Black Toggle current state
High = Fade to Program
Cut to Black Low = Cut to Black Toggle current state
High = Cut to Program
DSK-CP1/2 Control
The DSK-CP1/2 offers a complete control panel with dedicated buttons
for important functions. The control panel uses the XY control port to
connect to the DSK-6801/3 modules. See Figure A-1: DSK-CPx
Layout on page 151 for further information.

Parameter Range List and Key Descriptions

This section gives the parameter range list and provides Key
descriptions as follows:
External Key
The External Key is used for the keying operation.
Self Key
In Self-Key mode, the Key Input is ignored. Self Key is obtained from the
luminance portion of the Fill. Normally, Gain and Offset are applied to
attain more desirable effects.
Normal/Self Key Setting Range Resolution
Transparency (Up/Down) 0 - 100% 1
Clip/Offset (Up/Down) 0 - 1024 1
Gain (Up/Down) 0.5 - 64 0.1
Chroma Key
In Chroma Key, as in Self Key, the Key Input is ignored. The Key is
obtained from the chrominance (color) portion of the Fill. Gain and
Offset can be applied for more desirable effects.
Transparency
Transparency is a post Gain setting. After Clip, Offset, and Key Gain
have been applied to the Key signal, the effect makes the keyed
appearance look transparent. One hundred percent (100%)
transparency appears the most solid, while zero percent (0%) is
invisible.
Gain L
Gain is applied to the Key signal. This effect is used to amplify the Key
signal towards white. The edges of the Key are modified to make them
appear sharper, and when used in conjunction with Clip/Offset, can
change the size of the Key cutting hole.

Clip/Offset
The terms “Clip” and “Offset” are interchangeable. This setting is simply
a negative offset applied to the Key (before Gain is applied to the Key
signal). The nominal Offset is 64 and can go to 1024, black to full white
level.
This control is usually used in conjunction with Gain. For example,
taking a Gain of 2 and an Offset of 64 makes the module use the bottom
half of the Key signal for keying. If the Offset is set to 512, the module
uses the top portion of the Key signal for keying.
If you view the Key edge as triangular ramps, use the bottom portion of
the Key signal to widen the key, and use the top portion to narrow the
key. The Gain can be increased to 64 times, so when used in conjunction
with Offset, the keying action can use any 1/64th slice of the input Key
wave form. See “Gain and Offset Combinations” on page 82.

Figure 4-9. Gain and Offset Combinations

Chroma Key
The Chroma Key (when selected as source) provides a Key derived from
the color components of the Fill. The selected color is extracted and
inverted to produce the Key signal. The following table shows the
Chroma Key range and resolution settings.
Chroma Key Range Resolution
Hue (Up/Down) 0 - 359 1
Saturation (Up/Down) 0 - 1024 1
Discrimination (Up/Down) 0 - 1024 1

Chroma Hue
Chroma Hue is the amount of color in degrees (0 to 359) used as a color
Key source. The various colors are indicated around the following
diagram from 0 to 359 degrees.

Figure 4-10. Chroma Hue Color Range
Chroma Saturation
The Chroma Saturation control allows the Keyer to reject low saturated
signals from being used as part of the Key signal. The degree of
saturation is represented by the length of the color vector. This allows the
operator no Key on low saturation to improve keying quality. The
control acts like a level control in that, as the level moves up the vector,
the unsaturated colors are rejected.

Chroma Discrimination
Chroma Discrimination defines the range of color available to be used to
generate the Key signal. Ranges are from 1 to 180 degrees of the color
spectrum. See Figure 4-10 “Chroma Hue Color Range” on page 84.
Chroma Luminance
Key Modifiers
There are three Key modifiers as follows:
• Key Invert has the effect of displaying the Fill on the low portion of
the Key. It can be turned On or Off.
Normally, Fill is displayed on the high portion of the Key.
• Key Mask allows the Key signal to be cropped to display more of the
background. It can be turned On or Off.
• Key Force uses the Mask to force an area of the Fill to correct holes in
the Key signal. It can be turned On or Off.

Setting Key Mask

Crop the screen display to any size height and width by setting the Key
Mask. See the following table for Mask range and resolution
information.

Transition Controls
Transition Controls consist of setting the Transition Rate, setting the
Transition Type (Fade or Wipe), and applying the Cut Key, Cut to Black,
or Auto Trans.

Video Processing
The Program, Fill, and processed Key signals are keyed via the PGM Mix
mixer. These signals are passed to the PGM Fade mixer, which does the
Key Fade and Fade to Black. The main Program Input (FILL) and keyed
program (KPGM) each enter the FPGA for switching and retiming. The
Preview Out (PRVOUT) is switched to the appropriate next event and
then passed to the parallel of the serial driver and to the external
outputs.
The FPGA also provides a color matte output to the PGM Fade,
generating black for Fade to Black operations. The matte output is
switched to the main program during blanking to ensure correct video
passage.
The PGM Fade mixer passes its output for EDH re-insertion and then
for serial paralleled conversion and cable driving.
Board Control
Board control is accomplished by several methods as described below:
• RS232, using U34, which is jumper-selectable to the BNCs, using J4,
J6 and J7.
• Model edge control via Hex Switch SW1 and Toggle Switches SW2
and SW3.
• The GPI input control is jumper-selectable to the BNCs, using J5, J6
and J7.
• Board status information is provided by means of the LEDs, D1
through D16, which are along the front edge of the PCB.

DSK-CP1/2 Downstream
Serial Keyer Control Panel
Overview
The Downstream Serial Keyer Control Panel is designed to control a
system of DSK-6801 and DSK-6803 Keyer Modules. There are currently
two DSK Control Panels available, the DSK-CP1 and the DSK-CP2. The
only difference between the two is that the DSK-CP2 does not have a
Fader Handle.
The designation DSK-CPx is used in this manual where the information
is applicable to both control panels; otherwise, the appropriate number
is used. See Figure 5-1 on page 91 and Figure 5-15 on page 132.
Figure 5-1. DSK-CP1 Control Panel

Chapter 5: DSK-CP1/2 Downstream Serial Keyer Control Panel Overview
Key Invert
Figure 5-2. DSK-CP2 Control Panel
The DSK-CPx can be used in post and live production environments,

providing the ability to change Keyer settings on individual or multiple
Keyer Modules. There are dedicated Transition buttons, Setup buttons,
and programmable Soft buttons, which enable the operator to access
Keyer settings quickly and easily. Keyer settings such as Key Offset, Key
Gain, or Key Transparency are changed by selecting the Keyer Setup
menu and adjusting Keyer settings with the Control knobs. See
“Dedicated Transition Buttons” on page 96 for more information.
The DSK-CPx can be customized by using the programmable Soft
buttons. These buttons can be set to modify specific properties on a
Keyer (or group) at the touch of the button or they can be set to perform
a variety of other functions. See “Programmable Soft Buttons” on
The LCD screen contains four lines of display and has adjustable
contrast and backlight settings. The LCD screen displays menus, Keyer
information, and panel/system settings. Upon power up, the screen
displays the Leitch company name and version level of the firmware
installed.
There are a number of menus displayed on the LCD screen. Each menu
contains specific properties of Keyer settings or panel/system settings.
On any menu (which allows adjustments to keyer settings), the name of
the currently controlled Keyer (or group) is displayed on the LCD
screen, a valuable feature which contributes to the ability of a single
DSK-CPx to control multiple Keyers. See “LCD” on page 100 for more
information.

Overview Chapter 5: DSK-CP1/2 Downstream Serial Keyer Control Panel
There are four white cursor buttons on the control panel, used for up,
down, left and right movement. Press the Up or Down cursor buttons to
display the next menu in sequence (see Figure 5-11 “Menu Map System”
on page 104). Press the Left or Right cursor buttons to move the shaded
(highlighted) bar between modifiable property fields.
The DSK-CPx controls the Keyer Modules via the Leitch XY Serial Bus.
When the DSK-6801/3 Keyer Modules are set up as groups, any DSKCPx
panel can be configured to control that group or different groups of
modules.
Figure 5-3 on page 93 shows an example of how one control panel can be
used to control several Keyers. It illustrates a DSK-CPx connected to
Keyer Modules (set in a frame) using the Leitch XY Bus connectors.

• The Keyer Grp/ID (Keyer ID and Group ID) button displays the Keyer/
Grp ID menu. This menu displays the name of the Keyer, its ID
number, the Group it is assigned to, and the mode of operation.

Programmable Soft Buttons

The DSK-CPx has five programmable buttons. Each can be
programmed as one of three types: Keyer type, Menu type, or Menu
Property Type.
Figure 5-6. Programmable Soft Buttons
Keyer Type
Up to two Keyers can be assigned to a Soft button by Keyer Name when
the property type is set to Keyer: One Keyer can be set to Program and
the other to Preview. The Key1/PRG and Key2/PRV properties can have a
single Keyer assigned to each simultaneously, and will then react to the
same Soft button (when pressed.) In Multiple Mode (Program/Preview
Modes = Off), both Keyers will react in the same way to commands. If
the Program/Preview Mode is On, the Keyers act as program and

can be assigned to both Key1/
PRG and Key2/PRV properties.
• The Menu Property Type program is a specific property on a menu
designated to a Soft button. If it is a toggled action property, press the
Soft button to toggle the selected function On or Off.

There are two methods for programming a Soft button to select a menu
or menu property:
1. Display the menu that you want to program to a particular Soft
button, and hold the button down until the following message
appears on the display screen:
soft button programmed
That button is now programmed to display the selected menu. On
menus where there are three or fewer modifiable properties, press
the button to simply display the menu. To program a Soft button to
select a property on a menu with three or less properties, use
method 2.
2. The Soft Button menu is used to program Soft buttons. Scroll to this
menu using the white cursor button. Next, set the property type to
Menu. Then, select the desired menu and the desired property. Soft
button actions/functions are performed at the release of the button.
For complete programming information, see “Programmable Soft
Buttons” on page 98.
Cursor Buttons
The Up and Down white cursor buttons allow you to scroll through the
menu list, displaying each menu in turn. The Left and Right cursor
buttons move through a selected menu’s modifiable properties.
Once the user has selected a menu using the Up and Down cursor
buttons, the Left and Right cursor buttons are used to scroll through the
menu property’s label fields. When the property’s label field is
highlighted by the cursor, the modifiable properties field (value) is
underlined and can be changed using the Control knobs. For a graphic
and more information, see “Using the White Cursor Buttons” on
page 109.
Control Knobs
The DSK-CPx has three Control knobs that are used to adjust the
settings displayed on the LCD screen. The Control knobs are described
in further detail in the menu section. See “Using the Control Knobs” on
page 109.

LCD
The LCD screen displays up to four, 2-character lines of information,
and is used to display the DSK-CPx menus. On power up, the LCD
shows the Leitch company name and version level of the firmware
installed. The display screen has two operator adjustable properties:
Contrast and Backlight. See Figure 5-7 on page 100.
Figure 5-7. DSK-CPx Menu Example as Displayed on the LCD Screen

LEDs
The DSK-CPx contains several types of LEDs: Key On, Fader Position Up
and Down, and button LEDs.
Key On LED: One of the most important and unique LEDs is labeled (in
the shape of the words) Key On LED. This LED indicates that a logo is
being keyed on the program output of a Keyer Module. The Key On LED
is illuminated when the current Keyer or group of Keyers, being
controlled by the DSK-CPx, has a logo on the program output or On Air.
The Key On LED always indicates an On Air condition.
Figure 5-8. Key on LED Indicating On Air Condition
The arrow-shaped LEDs are only installed on the DSK-CP1 model and
indicate the up and down movement of the Fader Handle. When the
Fader Handle leaves the bottom position, the Up arrow LED is
illuminated, and remains so until the Fader Handle returns to one of the
end points. Similarly, when the handle leaves the top position the Down
arrow LED illuminates.
The Up and Down arrow LEDs are not illuminated when the Fader
Handle is at rest on an end point.
When the Fader Handle is in the process of being moved or the Auto
Trans button is pressed, the Fade to Black button is not active (available).

Figure 5-9. Fader Handle Arrow LEDs
The buttons on the control panel have an associated LED that

illuminates when the button (or associated function) is activated.
For example, the Auto Trans button LED illuminates when the Auto
Trans button is pressed and the fading function is taking place. Once the
Auto Trans operation is finished, the Auto Trans LED extinguishes.
When a Soft programmed button toggles a menu parameter, the
associated button LED is illuminated if the function assigned to it is On.
For example, if a Soft button is assigned to the function of Key Invert, the
Key Invert function is toggled (On or Off) when the button is pressed.
When it is On, the button LED is illuminated, and when it is Off, the
button LED is extinguished.

Exceptions are:
• The FTB button LED flashes when the currently controlled Keyer (or
group of Keyers) is faded to black.
• Mix and Wipe LEDs cannot be on at the same time; therefore, only the

• The Key can be set to Mix or Add. Mix mode is the default setting. Add
mode takes the Key signal and cuts a hole into the program input.
When the Fill signal is added, it results in the final program output.
The GlbCmd can be set to On or Off. The default setting is Off.
• With GlbCmd set to Off, only transition control messages (Cut, Wipe,
FTB, etc.) are sent to the selected Keyers where one of the following is
true:

• The mode is set to Group.

• More than one Keyer is selected with the Soft buttons.
• The Keyer currently selected is assigned a group name.
The control panel can send all commands to a Keyer (when GlbCmd is
Off) only when controlling a single Keyer and one of the following is
true:
• The mode is set to Single.
• Only a single Keyer is selected using a Soft button
• If the operator attempts to adjust multiple Keyer settings, the
following error message is displayed:
GlbCmd is Off

To add a name to the Name List:
1. Select Single or Group mode.
2. Choose a Keyer or Group by number.
If you are adding a Group Name, it is recommended that you assign
that name to the master module (the Keyer with Keyer ID of 0). The
Keyer assigned this Group Name will be designated as the master of
the group. The master is the only Keyer that has two-way
communication with the control panel.
3. Move to the Name property.
There are five character spaces available in the Name field. Each
character space is selected (underlined) using the Left and Right
cursor buttons.

To create a name, use the Control knobs to add the desired letters,
numbers, and other characters to each underlined space selected by
the Left and Right cursor buttons.
4. Move to the Add Property and set it to Yes. The Keyer Name has now
been added to the Name List, and this Keyer can now be selected by
name.
No Keyer may have more than one name assigned to it. The control
panel simply replaces the older name with the newer one. No two
Keyers may have the same name. As long as a name is in the Name
List, it must first be removed from the list before another Keyer can
be given that same name. When a name is added to the Name List,
the Keyer Module or Keyer Group must be powered up, connected
via the XY, bus and have a unique and valid Device Address.
Otherwise, the name will not be added to the list. There is a
system-generated Keyer Default Name for every Group ID and Keyer
ID combination used.

contains the SB # property (Soft Button # Property) with a selection
range of 1 to 5 (one for each Soft button).
• The Type property selections are Menu or Keyer.
• The Menu field displays the name of each control panel menu in order,
allowing the operator to scroll through them.
The Property field displays the name of the modifiable properties
available on the selected menu (shown in the Menu field). Here you can
scroll through the modifiable properties (for the selected menu)
displaying one after the other. If the Property field is left blank, the
programmed Soft button only jumps to the selected menu (not a
property).
For example, in the figure shown above, the Menu field displays Status
(Keyer Status menu) and the Property field displays KeyInv (Key Invert).
If the Property field Control knob is turned, the next available modifiable

Chapter 5: DSK-CP1/2 Downstream Serial Keyer Control Panel Modes of Operation
Modes of Operation
The DSK-CPx can address the Keyers in three modes that can be
overlapped and combined as described later in this section. The modes
of operation are:
• Individual (Keyer)
• Group Control
• Program/Preview
In each mode, the control panel configures all settings and initiates all
transitions on one or more Keyers. The GPI controls are mirrored to the
DSK-CPx.
The Keyer settings on a DSK-CPx can be changed via the GPI,
DSK-CPx, or DSK-6801/3 front edge controls. There is no mechanism
for locking out controls. If one Keyer is being controlled from the front
edge controls and another from the GPI, there will be conflicts. In
normal operation, Keyer settings should be modified from one control
point only.
Individual Mode
The Individual mode allows the operator to set the parameters of a single
Keyer. All settings displayed on the control panel reflect the
configuration of the Keyer specified (by name) and selected by the
operator. Transitions initiated by the operator via the control panel
occur on that specific Keyer only.
Group Mode
The Group mode allows the operator to transition all of the Keyers
within a single group. Each group has a Master Module designated by
the Keyer ID of 0 (zero). All settings displayed reflect the configuration of
the master of the group.
Changing settings on the Master Module using front edge controls,
generates a message to the control panel, which then updates all the
modules in the group.
If the GlbCmd property is set to On, all Keyer settings can be changed on
all Keyers within the group.
Transitions initiated via the control panel occur on all Keyers within the
group simultaneously.

Modes of Operation Chapter 5: DSK-CP1/2 Downstream Serial Keyer Control Panel
Transitioning Multiple Keyers with Different Settings

When the transition of many Keyer Modules is desired at the same time
and each Keyer Module has different Keyer settings, use the following to
set transition control:
1. Set the DSK-CPx to Individual mode control.
2. Select a Keyer Module and modify the settings as desired.
3. Repeat Step 2 for each Keyer Module desired in the transition.
4. Change to Group mode control and select the type of transition (Cut,
Auto Trans, FTB, or a Manual Fade) desired for the Keyer Modules.
All selected Keyers are transitioned together.
Program/Preview Mode
The Program/Preview mode allows you to set the operating parameters
on the Keyers in pairs, such that one Keyer represents the program
output and the other a preview of the program after the next transition
occurs.
In this mode, all Keyer settings are mirrored to both Keyers, and all
transitions occur opposite to each other. For example, if the Program
Key is faded Off, the Preview Key will fade On. The only exception to this
mirror effect occurs when the program is faded to or from black. Since a
black preview would not be helpful, the preview never fades to black.
A maximum of five Program/Preview pairs can be controlled by the
DSK-CPx.

Chapter 5: DSK-CP1/2 Downstream Serial Keyer Control Panel Setting the Device Address
Setting the Device Address

Each DSK-6801/3 connected to a DSK-CPx must have a unique Device
Address. The Device Address is achieved by setting the Group ID and
Keyer ID on each Keyer Module. The following procedures show how to
add a name to the Name List, and set up the Device Address, Group,
Panel and Keyer IDs.
Setting a Group ID
The Group ID is set using the Hex SW4 Switch located on top of the Keyer
Module. For detailed information, see Figure 5-15 “Group ID Hex
SW4”.

Figure 5-15. Group ID Hex SW4
1. To set a Group ID, turn the Hex switch (see Figure 5-15 “Group ID
Hex SW4”) to one of the 16 positions available (0 to F). The
number/letter selected is now the Group ID. For example, if the
Module Hex switch is set to position 6, that module has a Group ID of
6 and is controlled with Group 6.

Setting the Device Address Chapter 5: DSK-CP1/2 Downstream Serial Keyer Control Panel
2. To change a Group ID, simply change the Keyer Module Hex switch
to the desired position. For example, if the Hex switch is currently set
to 6 and the operator now wants this module to be in Group A,
changing the switch from position 6 to A gives this module a Group
ID of A.
Within each Group there is a Master Module. The Master Module is the
only Keyer that has two-way XY Bus communication with the DSK-CPx.
Within a group, the Keyer with the Keyer ID of 0 (zero) is designated as
the Master Module.
Changing the Master Module settings at the keyer level (via front edge
controls) creates a message which is sent to the control panel, allowing it
to update all Keyer settings within that Group.
If a Slave Keyer (non-master) has its settings changed (via front edge
controls), the control panel is not notified or updated.
Setting a Keyer ID
The Keyer ID on a DSK-6801/3 module consists of selecting an address
value in both the upper and lower part of each address setting.
The DSK-6801/3 Keyer ID is set as follows:
1. Turn the front Hex SW1 to Position 0, toggle SW2 Up or Down until
the Shift State 2 LEDs are illuminated. The system is now in Shift
State 2.
2. Turn Hex SW1 to position B.
3. Toggle SW2 to select the desired upper portion of the address.
When selecting the address, see 4. Pressing up on SW2 adds 16 to the address value.

reference.
6. Move Hex SW1 to position C.
7. Toggle SW2 to select the lower portion of the address.
8. Press up on SW2 to add 1 (one) to the address value.
9. Press SW2 down to subtract one. The address is displayed on the
LEDs in Binary.

information.
3. Move Hex SW1 to position C for the lower four address bits. Toggle
SW2 until the desired number is achieved.
4. Give the Keyer a name using the Name Add menu. See “Name Add”
on page 121 for detailed information.
5. Assign the Keyer to a Soft button if it will be used in Multiple mode
or in Program/Preview mode.
6. Designate the Keyer as Key1/Pgm (program) or as Key2/Prv

information.
7. List the new Device Address on the Name List maintained by the
DSK-CPx. See “Name Add” on page 121 for more information.
8. Label the Keyer with the appropriate information to simplify
troubleshooting and system additions. For example, affix a label on
the Keyer with the name or group assigned it.

Setting the Device Address Chapter 5: DSK-CP1/2 Downstream Serial Keyer Control Panel

DSK Keyer Module Setup Requirements

DSK keyer Module set up requirements are listed below:
• Jumper settings
• Hex switch settings for Group/Keyer ID.

System Applications Chapter 5: DSK-CP1/2 Downstream Serial Keyer Control Panel
System Applications
Configuration examples are provided in this section to help set up
different types of systems. However, configurations are not limited to the
examples shown. The operator is free to interconnect and control the
DSK-CPx system as desired. There are several types of video sources
shown, and many other types are available and can be used. Also shown
are different ways of terminating the XY Bus. In the following figures are
several DSK-CPx system configurations and suggestions for setting up
Group IDs, Keyer IDs, and Keyer names. A few things to note in all of the
examples given are:
• The names are set to values that help to identify a DSK-6801/3
module and what it keys, or the program input on a DSK-6801/3
module and what it keys.
• Each Keyer or group of buttons is given a name which can be used to
select a specific Keyer/Group to be controlled.

Chapter 5: DSK-CP1/2 Downstream Serial Keyer Control Panel System Applications
Connecting a Single Keyer System

In this example, one DSK-CPx controls one Keyer Module.
• A DSK-6801/3 has a default Keyer ID value of zero, so the Keyer ID
value does not need to be changed.
• The Group ID is set to the value indicated on the Group ID Hex switch.
• The Panel ID defaults to zero, so it should be changed to one
(expressed as 0 x 0001) (see Figure 5-18 “Single Keyer System”).

Connecting a Multi-Level Keying System

In this example of multi-level Keying, the Program Output of one Keyer
Module is connected to the Program Input of another Keyer Module.
The XY loop-through connections on the rear of the Keyer Module
frame are used to connect the frame to the XY Bus.
The suggested name for each Keyer Module is related to its video source.
This way you control the CG Keyer, simply dial-up the CG Keyer name
on the DSK-CPx, and then make the changes to that Keyer Module.
Alternatively, the operator can assign each Keyer Module to a
programmable Soft button. When a Soft button is pressed, the LED is
illuminated and changes can be made to the selected Keyers. The
changes can be “Key” transitions or modification of the Keyer settings.

will look like after a transition.

Procedure for Setup of a Program/Preview System

The Program and Preview Keyers are organized in pairs:
Make sure the Keyers are on the Name List; if not, add them.
1. Program each Soft button with the name of the Prg/Prv (Program
and Preview) Keyer pairs.
2. Set the DSK-CPx into Prg/Prv mode in the System Setup menu. Set
the Prg/Prv field to Yes to enable the Prg/Prv mode.
3. To select multiple Prg/Prv pairs for transitioning, program more
than one Soft button with a Program/Preview Keyer pair and set the
GlbCmd property to Off.
For a demonstration, see Figure 5-20 “Program/Preview System”on page
144.

Program Preview System
Figure 5-20. Program/Preview System

Connecting a Group System

In this example, the Keyer Modules that key the weather warning are
named with the suffix WTR. The Keyer Modules that key the network
logo are named with the suffix LGO. The prefix of each Keyer name
corresponds to the video source on the Program Input.
Each set of Keyers (weather warning or logo) have been set to operate
within the same Group, meaning they have the same Group ID.
Therefore, the group of Keyers that key the weather or the Group that
keys the logo can be transitioned at the same time (as one Group).
Programming a Soft button to select a group allows the transition of all
Keyers in that group at the same time. Program Soft buttons to the other
groups and the operator can select more than one Group at a time (press
more than one Soft button) and transition all of the selected Groups at
the same time.
For a demonstration, see Figure 5-21 “Group System Configuration”on
page 146.

Appendix A
Quick Reference Guide
Overview
This Quick Reference Guide contains sections which enable the operator
to quickly install a DSK-CPx and address a Keyer Module. This
Appendix also contains a section on Error Messages, Troubleshooting,
and the Diagnostic Mode.

Appendix A: Quick Reference Guide Setting Control for One or More Keyers
Setting Control for One or More Keyers

1. Identify how the Keyer Module will be used. For example, if Keyers
will be transitioned together (the majority of the time), then set the
Group ID of each Keyer to the same value (they are all in the same
Group).
2. If there are less than 16 Keyers or if you wish to transition any
combination of Keyers independently, then, give each Keyer a
unique Group ID. See “Setting a Group ID” on page 132.
3. Give each Keyer Module a Keyer ID. See “Setting a Keyer ID” on
page 133.
4. Set the mode of operation on the control panel via the System Setup
menu.
5. Set the jumpers on the DSK-6801/3 to accept the XY Bus input.
6. Assign a Panel ID to the DSK-CPx. See “Setting the Panel ID” on
page 135.
7. To add the Keyer Modules to the control panel Name List, see “Name
Add” on page 121.
8. Select the Keyer or Group to be controlled. Change the Keyer
settings and/or transition the Key on the Keyer Modules. See “Menu
Controls” on page 108, and see “Dedicated Transition Buttons” on
page 96.
9. Do not power up more than one frame of DSK-6801/3 modules at a
time.

Setting Control for One or More Keyers Appendix A: Quick Reference Guide
DSK Control Layout

The DSK-CPx provides the capability to control and change operational
settings on the DSK-6801/3 Keyer Modules. The control panel features
five dedicated buttons for commonly used operator functions and five
Soft programmable buttons for panel customization.
The DSK-CPx has three major functional areas: the Transition controls
area, the Settings area, and the Fade to Black button, each of which is
described in the following section.

Transition Controls
The Transition controls determine how a logo will be used by the
Program Output. The logo will be one of the following:
• Cut
• Faded
• Wiped on
• Wiped off the program output
Settings
The Settings area consist of the following:
• Dedicated Setup buttons which can select Control menus, change
menu properties, or select Keyers.
• Programmable Soft buttons can be programmed to select specific
menus, change menu property settings, and to select Keyers/Groups.
• An LCD screen which displays menus with property settings
available for modification.
Certain menus control the Keyer settings, some change the control panel
settings, and some modify system-related settings. Any menu that allows
modifications to Keyer settings displays the Name of the currently
controlled Keyer (or Group) on the LCD screen which allows the user to
distinguish between Keyers or Groups when controlling more than one.
Once a menu is selected and displayed, Up and Down white cursor
buttons are used to scroll between menu selections. The Left and Right
cursor buttons are used to highlight the adjustable properties on the
menu displayed, and the Control knobs change the displayed values. See
“Menu Controls” on page 108 for detailed information.
Fade to Black Button

The Fade to Black button fades a Keyer Module program output to black.
The fade rate can be changed on the Rates Setup menu (accessed by the
Trans Setup dedicated button).

Menus
The DSK-CPx contains 16 menus. The menus are divided into five
categories which are represented by the five control menus:
1. Keyer Setup contains properties for Keyer setup.
2. Trans Setup contains settings for Transition Rates, Mask, Wipe, and
Chroma Key.
3. Panel Setup contains panel settings, Soft programmable button
setup, and Keyer status information.
4. System Setup contains mode settings, Name Add and Remove
settings, and GPI settings.
5. Keyer/Grp ID contains Keyer and Group ID information.
The DSK-CPx menus are linked in a simple list format. This linked
format has a set flow as illustrated in Figure 5-2. The dedicated Setup
buttons are pre-programmed to display a specific menu when pressed.
Each of these menus is a control menu (one of the five listed above), and
each controls its own group of linked menus. The menus linked to a
control menu are selected by using the Up and Down white cursor
buttons to scroll through the linked menus.

Selecting and Changing a Menu

To make changes to the modifiable property fields contained on the
various menus, perform the following:
Use the Control knobs to select (display) the menu desired.
1. A menu can be selected by pushing a dedicated setup button, by
scrolling with the Up and Down cursor buttons, or by pushing a
programmed Soft button.
2. Once the selected menu is displayed, use the Left and Right cursor
buttons to move between menu properties. The property Label field
is highlighted, and the modifiable property field is underlined.
3. Turn any Control knob to change to display to the desired value. See
“Using the Control Knobs” on page 109 for more information. On
menus with three or fewer properties, each property is controlled by
the Control knob directly below the property.
Summary of Control Modes

There are four modes of control which can be overlapped and combined
as desired:
• Individual Keyer control
• Group control
• Program/Preview control
These modes of operation are dependent on how the video signals are
connected to the Keyer Module. The control panel configures all settings
and initiates all transitions of the Keyers in each mode. See “Modes of
Operation” on page 130 for more information.

XY Bus Connections
For the control panel to control the Keyers, they must all be on the same
XY Bus. Connect a cable, from the XY BNC on the rear of the DSK-CPx,
to the XY connectors on the Keyer Module. See “Setting a Device
Address” on page 134 for more information.

Figure A-3. DSK-CPx XY Connections
The DSK-CPx controls the Keyer Modules via the Leitch XY Serial Bus
(see “Rear Module XY Connections” on page 136 for more
information). The DSK-CPx can control any group of DSK-6801/3
Keyer Modules. The ability of the control panel to control any group of
DSK-6801/3s is most helpful in a situation where one control panel
resides in each studio (of a production facility), and all of the Keyer
Modules are centrally located. The control of Keyer Modules can be
simplified. For example, if during normal operation, all of the Keyers are
to be transitioned at the same time, then set the control panel to Group
mode and assign all of the Keyer Modules to the same Group ID address.
See “Setting a Group ID” on page 132 for more information.

Setting a Device Address

Each Keyer must have a unique Device Address by which the control
panel recognizes and controls the modules. Combining the Keyer ID and
the Group ID results in a unique Device Address. See FigureA-4.
