Pattern Modifiers
The SPLIT button toggles split mode on and off. When split mode
is on, the selected wipe pattern is split into two. Split operation is
affected by the SPLIT OFFSET button and knob in the Wipe
Modifier menu.
H MULTI and V MULTI allow multiple copies of the same wipe
pattern to appear.
Pressing H MULTI results in an additional copy of the wipe pattern
being arranged horizontally (in a row). One additional copy of the
pattern is supplied for each push of the button, up to a maximum
of eight rows. Similarly, V MULTI produces multiple patterns
arranged vertically in a column. Pressing both V MULTI and H
MULTI
at the same time results in a grid alignment of multiple
patterns.
If either button is held down for 1/2 second, that aspect
(horizontal or vertical) returns to a single pattern.
Additional modifiers are available through submenus available
under the Wipe menu. These menus are described in the Menu
section of this manual.
Positioner Buttons
The POS NORM and POS AUTO buttons are mutually exclusive;
only one can be on, although both can be off. If both are off,
delegating the joystick has no effect on the pattern.
Pressing POS NORM allows you to move the center of the wipe
solid with the delegated joystick on the Positioner subpanel.
When used for a wipe transition, the POS NORM button may cause
the wipe edge to pop if the pattern is too far off center when a
transition is performed.
POS AUTO offers the same ability as POS NORM, plus it scales the
size of the pattern according to the distance it is positioned off-
center. (This action eliminates any popping.) This feature does not
apply to matrix (non-solid) wipe patterns.
