Matrox Electronic Systems rt.x2 Computer Hardware User Manual


 
The realtime luma keyer gives you low clip, low gain, high clip, high gain, and transparency controls.
· Realtime speed changes You can use speed changes to emphasize special moments, extend the duration of shots to
match voiceover timing, or enhance the feeling of dramatic shots. You can apply smooth slow and fast motion with field or
frame blending.
· Realtime transitions The Matrox RT.X2 platforms support standard dissolves, SMPTE wipes, and organic wipes with soft
edges and color borders.
· Realtime track matte — The realtime track matte effect lets you superimpose one clip onto another using an animated matte,
sometimes called a traveling matte, to determine how the two clips are composited (keyed). You can use a grayscale video
or graphics clip as your matte, or use a graphics clip or graphics sequence with an alpha channel as your matte. When using
a grayscale clip as your matte, areas of black in the matte create transparent areas in your foreground clip, areas of white
create opaque areas that prevent the underlying clip from showing through, and gray areas create semi-transparent areas in
your foreground clip.
· Realtime move & scale This effect lets you apply multiple 2D DVEs simultaneously in real time to easily set up picture-in-
picture effects. You can also use the move & scale effect to animate multiple titles in real time.
