[Specification]

• Transitioning PiP or key on a transitioning background
• Native high resolution background channels independent of the PiP/key processing channel
• PiP Effects
  • PiP size from 1/8 to 8X source resolution
  • Adjustable PiP aspect ratio
  • PiP borders, including drop shadows and soft edge
• Keying
  • Luminance key
  • Split key (key alpha and fill)
  • Reverse key (key on background)
• Native high resolution downstream key channel independent of PiP/key processing channels
• Numerous mix and wipe effects
• Video processing
  • 10-bit processing
  • 1:1 pixel sampling
  • Motion adaptive de-interlacing (SD & HD)
  • 3:2 and 2:2 pull down detect
  • Image cropping
  • Aspect ratio correction
• Low video delay – less than 3 input fields
• Programmable matte
• Z-order control (priority layers) for overlapping PiPs or keys
• Mixer dynamically re-assignable as a mixing (transitioning) PiP or as two individual (split) non-transitioning PiPs or keys
• Capture and storage of two LOGO images for use as full-screen image or downstream key source
• Look-ahead preview
• Output synchronization: free-run or vertically locked to NTSC/PAL blackburst, CSync or HD tri-level sync
• Architecture supports future addition of optional output modules (for example, a recordable output)
