Model 4000 WPP Upgrade 3
Version 6.0R2
October 19, 1998
Model 4000-3 Wipes on the Program/Preset Upgrade
Introduction
A new printed circuit board (PCB) has been added to the Tektronix Grass
Valley Model 4000-3 Digital Switcher to allow the wipes on program preset
functionality.
The wipes on program preset function was an option for 4000-3 switchers
ordered beforeApril 10, 1998. This functionality now comes standard on all
newly-manufactured Model 4000-3s. It is also available as an upgrade kit
for systems in the field that were manufactured beforeApril 10, 1998. This
upgrade can be ordered under the nomenclature: 4000-3-WUPG, (Tek-
tronix part # 0633075-00).
The upgrade installation requires:
■
Mechanical installation of the flip-flop Mix PuP circuit board, Tektronix
Part #068977-00 (REV C).
■ Mechanical installation of the new keycaps.
■ Loading of updated system software.
This document describes in detail how to accomplish the aforementioned
tasks.
The upgrade should be performed by qualified maintenance personnel.
Note In order to function, the wipes on PGM/PST hardware must be installed, the
softwaremustbeloaded,andthenewfeaturesmustbeenabled.Whenthenew
software is installed but the new function is not enabled, the wipe and posi-
tioner delegation lamps will not match the key caps for those buttons. It is
important to note that the function is enabled when the switcher leaves the fac-
tory. If desired, the operator can access the CONFIG > SYS PARAM menu to
disable the functionality to match the old key caps. See pages 3 through 5 for
details.

Provided Materials
■
A new upper printed circuit board (PCB), Tektronix Part #068977-00
(REV C).
■
A set of new keycaps.
■
Software upgrade diskette. (Version 6.0 or later).
Required Tool (Not Provided)

Step-By-Step Board and Keycap Upgrade Procedure
1. Raise the lid of the switcher panel.
2. Power down the switcher panel.
CAUTION To avoid static damage to sensitive electronic devices, protect the Model 4000-
3 Digital Switcher from static discharge. Avoid handling switcher modules in a
high static environment. Touch the grounded metal of the switcher before you
remove any modules. This helps ensure that any potential difference between
your body and the switcher is dissipated. Always use a grounding strap and
grounded equipment when you handle switcher PCBs and ribbon cables.
3. Remove the new circuit board from the static protective bag in which it
was shipped. Lay the empty bag across the horizontal PCB in the
bottom of the switcher panel housing to protect it and to catch any nuts
that might be accidently dropped from above during the following
steps.
WARNING Electrical potential is still applied to some internal components even when
the power switch/breaker is in the off position. To prevent electrical shock
when working on this equipment, disconnect the AC line cord from the AC
source before working on any internal components. A residual voltage may
be present immediately after unplugging the system due to large power
supply capacitors discharging. Wait thirty seconds to allow capacitors to
discharge before working on the system.
4. Detach the seven ribbon cables from the originally installed #068977-00
PuPboard.(It is the top-most rectangularPCB.)
Donot detachtheother
ends of the cables. Leave those cables dangling in place for eventual re-
connection.
CAUTION Some of the following operations require an assistant to insure that PCBs are
properly supported while screws or nuts are removed and replaced. Failure to
properly support PCBs could result in damage.

5. Use a 5/16-inch nut driver to remove the eight white plastic nuts from
the board stand-offs. Save the nuts for re-use.
6. Remove the obsolete #068977-00 (REV. A or REV. B) PuP board.
7. Install the new #068977-00 (REV. C) PuP board, using the eight white
plastic nuts saved from the old board.
Do not use a nut driver to re-
install these nuts; they must be hand-tightened only. Use of a nut
driver may cause damage to the stand-offs.
8. Reconnect the seven ribbon cables on the new #068977-00 (REV. C) PuP
board, insuring that they are firmly seated.
9. Remove the protective bag covering the bottom PCB.
10. Place the obsolete PCB and the packaging in an appropriate recycling
receptacle.
11. Power up the switcher panel.
12. Lower the lid of the switcher panel.
13. Remove the old keycaps (one at a time, to avoid confusion) and replace
each of them with the corresponding new keycaps.
14. Discard the old keycaps.
15. PCB and keycap installation is complete.

Using the Model 4000-3 Wipes on the Program/Preset
Note The wipes on program preset functionality is an orderable option for Model
4000-3 switchers ordered before April 10, 1998. This functionality now comes
standard on all 4000-3s shipped after October 19th, 1998. Systems that were
ordered in the interim will receive an upgrade kit as part of the purchase price.
The wipes on the program/preset (PGM/PST) function for the Model 4000-3
provide the following features:
■
Wipe transitions on the PGM/PST.
■
PGM/PST primary wipe border mattes. (Via menus.)
■
Wipe subpanel, menu, and positioner control for PGM/PST wipes.
Wipe Transitions
Only switchers with the wipes on the program/preset (PGM/PST) hard-
ware and software properly installed are capable of the new functionality.
The PGM/PST transition subpanel contains a push-button called PSTBL/
WIPE. This button controls preset black or wipe transitions. To set the
PSTBL/WIPE button to preset black, or a wipe:
■
Select the CONFG menu button,
■
Press F1-USER PREFS>,
■
Press F2-PGM PST TRANS. This toggles between preset black
(PSTBLK) or wipe (WIPE).
■
Alternatively, users can DPOP with the SHIFT button.
The PSTBL/WIPE transition button will indicate which mode is selected,
depending on the mode selected in the USER PREFS menu:
■
Button dark = mix, in either wipe or PST BLK mode.
■ Button high tallied = wipe (no preset black).
■ Button blinking = mix, preset black armed (with no wipe).
When in preset black mode, wipe transitions are disabled. The switcher’s
internal state shall be MIX whenever preset black mode is active. Likewise,
preset black is disabled when in WIPE mode. When WIPE mode is selected
(USER PREFS>PGM PST TRANS) and PSTBL/WIPE button is pressed
(lamp is high tallied) the wipe subpanel will autodelegate to PGM/PST
PRI.
Note Users that are accustomed to earlier iterations of the software might be at first
confused by the new PSTBL/WIPE transition button. To clarify: It can operate
inthreemodes.Youcanchoosebetweenaamix(whenthe lampisoff),a wipe,
(when the lamp is on and WIPE mode is selected), or a PST BLK mix transition
(when the lamp is blinking and PST BLK mode is selected.)

PGM/PST Matte Subpanel
With the new PGM/PST wipe software installed, there is different func-
tionality for downstream keyer (DSK) background mattes, DSK matte fills,
and DSK borderline mattes.
The Matte subpanel provides control to the matte generators for down-
stream keyers (DSKs), key borders, and backgrounds. Several Matte types
are available. These include user defined wash, secondary wipe wash, or
flat.
Background Mattes
■
With the new software, flat mattes remain the same as in previous soft-
ware versions.
Note The previous operation of a USER DEF WASH for BKGD was to hold down the
USER DEF WASH button and then twist the BRIGHT/TEX knob to introduce
texture into the wash. With the v 6.0R2 software, the PATTERN MIX must be
enabled with texture selected in the menu for PTN MIX TYPES for PGM/PST
SEC WIPE for this to occur.
■
The User defined wash uses the PGM/PST secondary wipe generator.
This allows the PRI WIPE to be used for transitions. Any wipe can be
selected for use as the wash, and this wipe can be pattern mixed to tex-
ture. Turning on WASH ROTATE in the MATTE menu will also turn on
the ROT POS in the PGM/PST secondary wipe panel. Wipe rotation
can be adjusted in either the WASH menu or on the WIPE panel.
■
The SEC WIPE WASH button activates the M/E 1 secondary wipe as
the wash, since the wipe delegation panel reflects the delegation of the
M/E 1 secondary wipe. With the exception of the additional pattern
selectionforthe user defined wash,thefunctionalityotherwise remains
the same as in previous software versions.
There are two methods to access the user defined wash menu for back-
ground mattes:
■ The first method to access the menu is to double press the USER DEF
WASH key. This takes you to the matte menu, where you can turn on
WASH ROTATE.
■ The second method to access the menu is to go to the MATTE menu.

Version 6.0R2
DSK Matte Fills and Borderline Mattes
■
Flat matte fills and borders remain unchanged from previous software
versions.
■
USER DEF WASH uses the PGM/PST secondary wipe generator to
wash between the Matte 1 and Matte 2 generators.
■
To avoid conflicts between the PGM/PST and M/E 1 decks, the SEC
WIPE WASH (which uses M/E 1’s secondary wipe generator) has been
disabled for key fills and borderline mattes on DSK 1 and DSK 2.
■
Since the PGM/PST PRI wipe is used for transitions on the PGM bus,
copying to the PGM PST PRI wipe generator is not allowed. Therefore,
key copies from M/Es using a primary wipe generator (such as
primary wipe washes and primary wipe INH masks) to a DSK will
result in an error. However, with the new release of the software, keys
using only a secondary wipe generator can be copied to the DSKs.
Note Remember that pressing USER DEF WASH on the PGM/PST matte panel actu-
ally activates the PGM/PST secondary wipe generator for the purpose of wash
operations.

PGM/PST Wipe Border Mattes
Control for the PGM/PST primary wipe borders is under the WIPE
BORDER menu.
To open the WIPE BORDER menu, if the PGM PRI WIPE button is dele-
gated, the BORD button can be pressed. Turning BORD on will open the
programpresetwipebordermenu.Alternatively,themenu canbeobtained
through the WIPE menu path (WIPE> WIPE BORDER).
The WIPE BORDER menu provides control to the matte generators for the
primary wipe border. Hue, Saturation, and Brightness knobs work with all
matte types. Hue, Saturation, and Brightness knobs are visible when the
F8-KNOBS menu button is set to MATTES. Softness and Offset knobs are
visible when the F8-KNOBS menu button is set toAPPEARANCE. You will
notice that selecting PRI WASH or SEC WASH in the menu autodelegates
the same wipe generator on the subpanel.
When the secondary wipe wash is selected in the PGM/PST WIPE
BORDER menu, it will use the PGM PST SEC wipe generator to wash the
border.
Note ThePGMPSTSECwipeisalsousedfortheUSERDEFWASH,sochangingone

Wipe Menus
All of the wipe menus provide control to the PGM/PST wipes.
Wipe Panel Delegations
The wipe panel delegation buttons are changed in the software. They for-
merly had single-button delegations of M/E 1 PRI, M/E 1 SEC, M/E 2 PRI,
M/E 2 SEC, M/E3 PRI, and M/E 3 SEC. They now have M/E 1, M/E 2, M/
E 3, PGM PST delegations plus a PRI and SEC delegation. Pressing a wipe
panel delegation causes the wipe menus and wipe positioner (when not
ganged) to autodelegate. Double pressing an M/E wipe panel delegation
will open the WIPE MODIFIERS menu.
Note If your switcher has the new hardware installed but is loaded with pre-version
6.0software, the wipe panel delegationswill behave in the oldmanner, and the
delegation lamps will not match the key caps for those buttons.

Version 6.0R2
Wipe Positioner
The wipe positioner delegation buttons have changed from the single-
button delegations of M/E 1 PRI, M/E 1 SEC, M/E 2 PRI, M/E 2 SEC, M/
E3 PRI, and M/E 3 SEC to M/E 1, M/E 2, M/E 3, PGM PST delegations
plus a PRI and SEC delegation. The M/E selections can be viewed as wipe
processor selections and the PRI and SEC buttons can be viewed as wipe
generator selections. For any wipe processor selection there will always be
an associated wipe generator. A processor button can be selected and the
wipe generator button will autodelegate.
Nearly all wipes can be ganged. To gang primary and secondary wipes,
press the PRI and SEC delegations simultaneously. The only exception is
that one M/E’s primary wipe cannot be ganged with another M/E’s sec-
ondary wipe.
All delegations can be turned off. When all M/E delegations are turned off
the generators will automatically turn off.
Note When the.6.0R2 with wipes on PGM PST software is installed, the wipe and
wipe positioner delegation lamps behave in the new manner (ME1, ME2,... Pri,
Sec), but when v. 6.0R2 without PGM/PST is installed, they wipes function in
the old manner(ME1P, ME1S, et cetera.) It is important to note that if you have
the older software installed the wipes will behave in the old (pre-6.0 software
version) manner, and the wipe and positioner delegation lamps will not match
the key caps for those buttons.
