Eyeheight Takes Centre Court At Wimbledon

Eyeheight's DK-2M downstream linear keyer helped convey the excitement of Wimbledon as part of the equipment relaying the event in 1080i HD to television viewers.
Chosen by a major UK-based outside broadcast company, the keyer was used to process the output from a production switcher feeding the games from the world's most famous tennis tournament to an international audience.
Sales Director Martin Moore commented: "This is the latest in a long series of major live sports events for which Eyeheight equipment has been chosen. OB companies in particular appreciate the compactness of our products as well as the fast and easy control ergonomics which are ideal for use in fast-moving live production environments."
Eyeheight's DK-2M is a high-quality downstream linear keyer for 1080i and 720p, 625 and 525 operation. It incorporates all the facilities needed for generating matte overlays, an increasingly essential requirement in modern graphic suites and presentation studios.
The DK-2M enables overlays to be located anywhere on the video display, either as a solid image or transparent. Fill and key inputs with adjustable horizontal timing are provided, as well as matte generators, wipe, independent main and preview keyers and EDH reinsertion for the main output.
Key on/off plus six user-definable control sequences are accessible via an integral GPI interface card. Housed in a compact 1 U chassis designed for local remote or automated control, the keyer incorporates programme and preview outputs and is designed for easy HD-SDI and SD-SDI connectivity.
Wimbledon is the oldest tennis tournament in the world. Held at the All England Club in southwest London since 1877, it is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments and the only one still played on grass which gave the game of lawn tennis its name. The tournament takes place over two weeks in late June and early July, culminating with singles finals.
