New Feature Review
• Support for Analog Backgrounds
Using the Background Input Setup Menu, you can choose between Analog, DVI
Matte and “frame grab” backgrounds. In Chapter 5, refer to the “
Background
Input Setup Menu” section on page 237 for details.
• Support for Two Separate Matte Colors
Two separate matte colors can be defined, one for BG A and one for BG B. In
Chapter 5, refer to the “
Background Menu Functions — Matte Type” section on
page 240 for details.
• EDID
The EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) programming procedure is a
prerequisite for background and DSK setup. The procedure guarantees proper
communications at the preferred resolution between Encore’s DVI inputs and your
external equipment. In Chapter 6, refer to the “
Programming EDID” section on
page 268 for details.
• User Keys
On the Controller LC, User Keys are available when you press User Copy. This
action accesses the
User Key Copy Setup Menu, which enables you to select all
(or a portion) of the current effect’s attributes, such as border color, PIP size,
aspect ratio, etc. In Chapter 7, refer to the “
Working with User Keys” section on
page 350 for instructions.
• Group Buttons
All Group buttons operate with “toggle” functionality rather than “additive”
functionality. In Chapter 7, refer to the “
Working with Groups” section on
page 312 for instructions.
• Layer Join Mode
The “Join” mode enables you to create a fixed relationship between a mixer’s two
layers. Whenever the mixer is selected, the two joined layers move as one. In
Chapter 7, refer to the “
Using Join Mode” section on page 335 for instructions.
• Key Cut and Fill
The “Key Cut and Fill” function enables you to cut a key in Layer B and fill it with
video from Layer A — within the same Mixer. The two Layers can be
manipulated independently or joined using the “Join” function. In Chapter 7, refer
to the “
Using Cut & Fill” section on page 325 for instructions.
• Source Preview
For any selected Layer, press Source Preview in the Layer Functions Section
to quickly focus or “isolate” that layer for sizing and adjustment purposes in
Preview only. In Chapter 7, refer to the “
Using Source Preview” section on
page 333 for instructions.
• Alphanumeric Keypad
On the Controller LC only, the Alphanumeric Keypad enables you to enter and
change numeric fields without having to use a rotary knob. In Chapter 7, refer to
the “
Using the Alphanumeric Keypad” section on page 310 for instructions.
• PS/2 Keyboard
Standard PS/2 style keyboards can be used with both Controllers for numeric
entry and “naming” of certain functions (such as frame grabs). In Chapter 7, refer
to the “
Using the PS/2 Keyboard” section on page 311 for details.
