PRECAUTIONS
On satety
¢ The SEG-2550 should be operated on 120 V AC, 60Hz.
The SEG-2550P should be operated on 220 to 240 V AC,
50/60 Hz.
¢ Sholuld any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, uplug
the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
¢ Unplug the unit from the wail outlet if it is not to be used for
an extended period of time. :
© To disconnect acord, pull it out by the plug. Never pull the
cord Itself.
On Installation
* Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat
buildup. Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets,
etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may biock
the ventilation slot.
* Donot install the unit near heat sources such as radiators
or air ducts or mechanical vibration or shock.
¢ Keep the unit away from equipment with strong magnets,
such as speakers.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a dry soft cloth, or
a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution.
Do not use any type of solvent such as alcohol or benzine
which may damage the finish.
If you have any questions about this unit, contact your Sony
dealer,

INTRODUCTION
The Sony SEG-2550/2550P special effects generator can
apply a wide variety of special effects, such as mixing, wiping,
keying and downsiream keying, to the video program from a
camera, VTR, etc., and output the resulting program.
In addition to the basic functions, the SEG-2550/2550P can
memorize the setting and operation of effects and reproduce
them. This is called the “E-File” function. The SEG-2550/2550P
can be remotely controlled by a microcomputer or a VTR
editing contro! unit through the RS-232C interface.
The built-in sync generator allows all equipment connected to
the SEG-2550/2550P to be synchronized with the
SEG-2550/2550P. The SEG-2550/2550P can synchronize with
an external sync signal when itis supplied.
’ Instantaneous change from one picture to another during
vertical blanking period is possible.
Mixing
Gradual transition by dissolving one picture into another is
possible.
Wipe
Wipe function, a transition from one picture to another using
& geometrical pattem moving across the screen, is provided.
Wipe pattern can be selected from 137 pattems, and a variet
of wipe effects such as pairing, echo, border and softness,
are available.
Pairing | wipe

External key
Apart of one picture is cut out, and that area can be filled with
another picture. The part to be cut out is determined by the
picture (an external key signal) picked up by a black and white
camera for the extemal key operation.
Original picture Picture to be inserted
Picture for an external key signal
Downstream keyer
Captions or figures can be added on a picture. This is called
downstream keyer. Added letters and figures can be colored,
or shadow is added to them for easier viewing.
Added letters
Memory of the setting on the SEG-2550/2550P
The setting on the control panel or the operating procedure of
the SEG-2550/2550P can be held in the memory of the
SEG-2550/2550P.
The data is held for about 24 hours after tuming the power off,
and also saved on a memory device such as a floppydisk by
using a microcomputer through the RS-232C interface.
Recall the data memorized In E-File and execution
The data memorized in the E-File can be recalled any time,
and can be executed to reproduce the same effect.
Remote control
The SEG-2550/2550P Is equipped with an RS-232C Interface
0 that the effects memorized in the E-File can be executed in
synchronization with the VTR editing control unit with this
interface. The data memorized in the E-File can be saved and
loaded by a microcomputer through the RS-232C interface.
Background color :
4 built-in background color generator permits color
yackground for keying, for the border of the wipe pattem, etc.
due, chroma and luminance of the background color are
sontinucusly adjustable so that a precise color can be
obtained.
