Karrera System Video Timing and Delay

Figure 38. Switcher Timing Diagram

For inputs entering the switcher in zero time with the reference, the
total delay through the switcher is the Nominal Switcher Delay (A μs).

Inputs that reach the switcher at the latest point in the autotiming
window (+B μs) will have a total delay that equals the time required for
switcher processing. This value is the Minimum Switcher Delay (C μs).

Inputs that reach the switcher at the earliest point in the autotiming
window (-B μs) will have a total delay equal to the Nominal Switcher
Delay (A μs) plus the autotiming window range. This value is the
Maximum Switcher Delay value (D μs).

On Karrera systems the autotiming window varies depending on the oper-
ating mode. The Timing Analyzer in the Video Settings Menu displays this
autotiming information (

Figure 39 on page 70

). Also see

Table 27 on

page 276

for more detailed information.

Note

The maximum switcher delay is approximately one line of video.
