DESCRIPTION
Powerful Multi-Level Mix-Effects System Prodigy is reliable video switching and effects system that follows the industry standard: multi-level effects with a Look-Ahead Preview. More than just another clone, Prodigy® raises the standard, offering features no one else does. An optional stereo audio-follow-video system can be integrated to provide the critical link between your audio console and editing and can even be used for master control applications. An optional RS-422 serial port links Prodigy® to most popular editing controllers and other intelligent devices. Prodigy® has a powerful linear keying system with internal video key bus, three external key inputs and a downstream keyer. Combined background, key and downstream key transitions provide powerful multi-level capability. Twenty-four wipe patterns, including star and heart, are standard on Prodigy . Hard, soft and hard, or soft bordered wipe edges with variable inside-to-outside softness balance and colorizer produce an almost limitless number of effects. Prodigy's Pattern Memory System allows storage and recall of wipe patterns with all modifiers. Editing systems can also recall all modified effects through the standard editor interface.

FEATURES
EIGHT PRIMARY VIDEO INPUTS
· · · · · ·
Black and color background Input 1 is the reference for genlock plus black Background transitions - cut, mix, wipe Key transitions - cut, mix, wipe Downstream transitions - cut, mix Combined background key and downstream key transitions - provides the power of a two mix/effect switcher
PROGRAM VIDEO BUS PERMITS DIRECT SWITCHING OF VIDEO LOOK-AHEAD PREVIEW DISPLAYS THE RESULT OF THE NEXT TRANSITION INTEGRATED STEREO AUDIO-FOLLOW-VIDEO SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)
· · · ·
Two bus system - Preset and Program Cut or fade between stereo audio sources Editor control of audio transitions Audio Hold - inhibits AFV operation
FADE TO BLACK INTEGRATED WITH TRANSITION SYSTEM BLANKING PROCESSOR
· Provides high-stability video output and masks minor timing and sync level errors between primary inputs
LINEAR KEYING SYSTEM
· Allows the keyer to be adjusted to match the rise time of the key source for high-quality keying
KEY MEMORY
· Automatically remembers the Key Clip and Key Gain settings for each input in both Self Key and Auto External Key modes
THREE EXTERNAL KEY INPUTS
Put Prodigy's Brains To Work For You With its exclusive Effects Transition (ET) programming system, Prodigy allows you to create truly memorable performances. One hundred events are always on-line, with battery backup to protect their contents. Events 0-79 are Effects Transitions. With each event, the entire panel setup is learned, including all analog controls (except the lever arm). When an ET event is recalled, push buttons reset to the stored configuration and the analog controls smoothly transition to their new settings in the number of frames specified by ET rate. Events 80-89 are Instant Replays. When an Instant Replay is learned, every operator action is tracked against time, including lever arm transition and event recalls. When an Instant Replay is recalled, your actions are faithfully reproduced with the same time line. Events 90-99 are Sequences. A sequence allows you to link random ET and Instant Replay events together with a programmable delay between each event in the sequence.
· Can integrate a "wide key" character generator, digital effects system and graphics camera
AUTO EXTERNAL KEY FOLLOW
· Automatically selects External Key when primary input for which it is programmed is selected · Automatically performs Self Key if selected primary input is not programmed for External Key
DOWNSTREAM KEYER
· User programmable in and out (0 to 999 frames), or manual cut or fade · External key cut and key fill
EXTENSIVE WIPE PATTERN SELECTION AND MODIFIERS
· 24 wipe patterns standard · Hard, Soft and Hard or Soft Bordered Wipe edges with variable inside-to-outside softness balance · Pattern Memory System - Allows editing system to select a pattern with all modifiers through standard editor interface · 100 on-line events with battery backup · Instant Replay allows Prodigy® to learn the operator's actions against a real time clock · Programmed sequences for repeatability without setting the effect up in real-time
SERIAL EDITOR INTERFACE FOR VIDEO AND AUDIO (OPTIONAL) PROGRAMMABLE EFFECTS TRANSITION SYSTEM
· RS-422 port interfaces with most available editing systems
