7. System Setup
7.15 Configuration Menu > Layer optimization
General
In this procedure, the usage of Lay ers inside the EMP will be elaborated.
Prerequisite
• Ensure that you are familiar with the Configuration Menu. For details on this m enu, pleas e refer to chapter "Confi guration
Menu", page 96, as well as previous chapter.
Layers in an Event Master Processor
In the system there are banks of Video Processing Units, VPS ´s. These VPS´s service the total output raster with layer resources.
So 1, 4 or 8 outputs have t he same number of layers to use as PIPs as the Mixing B ackground Layer is on top of this.
The VPU´s have a bandwidth setting that allow for a c ertain size of Resolution to enter the VPU and get scaled. Currently we hav e
SL / DL and 4K as settings allowing for mx 2048 x 1200 / 2560 x 1600 / 4096 x 2400 respectively.
The higher the resolution, the higher the bandwidth of the input and output of the sc aler, or as we call it, numb er of L inks. (This c an
be found in the Aux Scaling settings too where the highest setting is 8L, allowing for 8 Links of 2K resolution).
Here is an important difference from other systems, an EMP only scales t he number of available layers based on the inputs size,
not the output size as long we are inside a maxim um of a 4K or 10M P output. O nce pass ed the 10MP (M eg
aPixel), resources have
to be added.
The S3-4K has only one bank of VPU´s with 4 x 2K capable layers, is within 10M P and have none o f the below de scribed behavior.
Layer Optimiza tion
E2 has several Banks of VPU‘s and has up to 16 x 2K capable layers av ailable for Destinations. The layers can be a ssigned freely
between the created D estinations.
However there is a few rules that cam e with freeing up the banks to allow “up to 16 layers” since the 1.5 software:
• Up to 4 outputs can use 16 mixing layers
• Up to 2 x 4 outputs can use 8 mixing layers E ACH
We do this in order to allow as many layers to available to set ups and to be as flexible in use as the infrastructure allow.
