The Ext Trigger function is only used with the Barco Events Manager or Barco Stage
Manager
applications. With these two products, when the timeline reaches a programmed
"pause" cue, the timeline pauses. This in turn causes Encore’s
Ext Trigger button to flash.
Pressing
Ext Trigger restarts the timeline.
Use the following steps to use the Ext Trigger function:
1. Ensure that Encore is properly connected to (and recognized by) the Barco
Events Manager
or Barco Stage Manager application. An Ethernet connection
is required. Refer to the application’s
User’s Guide for interfacing instructions.
2. On the Barco Events Manager or Barco Stage Manager application, program a
"pause" cue in the normal manner. When the timeline reaches the "pause" cue,
the timeline pauses. This action causes the
Ext Trigger button to flash.
3. To restart the application’s timeline, press Ext Trigger.

The Source Preview function enables you to quickly isolate a selected layer for sizing and
adjustment purposes — in Preview only.
Use the following steps to use the Source Preview function:
1. In the Layer Control Section, select the layer that you want to isolate.
2. In the Layer Functions Section, press Source Preview. The following actions
occur:
~ For the selected layer, the border and shadow is turned off.
~ The PIP (or Key) is placed in the center of the screen and sized to 90%
of the output resolution.
~ If the system is in wide screen mode, the layer is centered in screen 1
and sized to 90% of that screen.
~ All other layers are hidden.
~ The background switches to a neutral gray.
~ The Input Menu for the selected source appears.
After
Source Preview has been pressed for the first time, the next press sizes the
PIP to
1:1, with respect to the source’s input resolution. If the 1:1 size is larger
than the output resolution of the Preview screen, the PIP is positioned such that
the top/left corner is showing.
Subsequent presses of the Source Preview button will reveal the other corners.
The next button press returns the PIP to 90% size of the output resolution.
