  • Experimental Television Center Studio System Manual - Keying Tools

    Two manual sections from the Experimental Television Center Studio Manual: Keying Process by Matthew Schlanger (c. 1984) and Keyers by Sherry Miller Hocking and Richard Brewster with Peer Bode, Hank Rudolph and Matt Schlanger; both appear in the 1980 and 1986 studio manuals. The text defines keying as mixing two video signals under control of a clip reference, explains synchronization of vidicon tubes/CRTs across 525-line frames and 262.5-line fields and notes a horizontal line frequency of 15,750 Hz. It describes three-input luminance keyers with VCA channels A and B, clip-level thresholds, internal versus external keying, and wipes using an externally synced oscillator.
