4. Controller Orientation
Controller Sections
Following are descriptions of each button in the Layer Control Section.
Background Buttons — press to select an unscaled background (A or B) on Preview for
transition to or from Program. The button blinks when selected, and the
BG Input Setup
Menu
appears. Here, you can select a DVI input, an analog input, a matte color or a
captured frame as the background source.
Please note:
• When blinking, the background is active for manipulation on Preview. When lit
solid, the background is on Preview — but it is not active for manipulation. It is,
however, ready to be transitioned to Program or cleared from Preview.
• If the Red LED is lit, the selected background is on Program.
• Both backgrounds cannot be on Program simultaneously.
• If neither background is on Program, the matte color for the last selected
background is the on-air background source — but the
Red LED will not be lit.
• If a background is on Program and the same background is selected in Preview,
there will be no background change on the next transition.
• To clear a background from Preview (so that it will transition off Program), press
the desired background, then press
Clear Layer. This action turns the button off,
and if the
Red LED above the button is lit, the background transitions off Program.
• Toggle mode affects background transitions. In Chapter 7, refer to the
“
Background Transitions” section on page 320 for complete instructions.
Layer Buttons — press to select a layer on Preview for transition to or from Program. The
button blinks when selected, and either the
PIP Adjustment Menu or Key Menu appears.
• When lit and blinking:
~ The layer is active for modification, and its raster box blinks on Preview.
~ A source can be assigned to the layer from the Source Selection Bus.
~ The layer can be assigned as a PIP or Key using the buttons in the
Layer Function Section.
• When lit solid, the layer is on Preview — but it is not active for manipulation. It is,
however, ready to be transitioned to Program or cleared from Preview.
• When the Red LED above a layer button is lit, the layer is on Program.
• When the Red LED above a layer button is blinking:
~ The associated mixer is set to Mix Mode.
~ The layer (with the blinking LED) is on Program.
~ On the Source Selection Bus, the blinking Red LED indicates the
associated source on Program.
~ In the mixer, the layer opposite to the blinking Red LED is enabled for
modification, and its associated raster box is blinking on Preview.
Important
Encore uses a “lookahead” Preview monitor that fully
represents how the
Program output will appear next. By
selecting combinations of PIPs, Keys, backgrounds and the
DSK, you are composing a Preview
image that will appear on
Program — after the next transition. A “lit” button does not
necessarily mean that the source will transition on or off — it
simply means that it is part of the “look” on Preview.
