Video Transition Model Control
These video mode control keys in this section allow users to select the type of transitional
pattern to be applied in the progress between A/B sources.
All transitions are easily managed by using the A/B slide control located in the
Video Source Select box.
These buttons allow users to select a variety of wipe patterns, PIP modes and color key selections. Some of the buttons in this section are marked 1/2, 1/3 or 1/4 indicating multi-stage operation. Each time users press such a button it advances to the next stage.
All the supported transition modes are detailed as follows:
- WIPE mode: Replace one source with another using a variety of wipe patterns available from the "FUNCTIONS" panel. There are option for the shape of wipe pattern such as straight wipe, corner wipe, split wipe, square wipe, diagonal wipe, triangle wipe and multiple wipe.
- PIP (Picture-in-Picture) mode: This mode allows users to insert a smaller video sub window from the secondary input (source B) to the main screen displaying the main source A. The PIP window can be positioned using the joystick control and the A/B slide control so users can have the PIP window fade in and out. The PIP window sizes are available for 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 of the screen size and can be shown with or without a border selected in the function box.
- MIX mode: Users may use this function to dissolve/transition from one input source to another smoothly and gradually using the A/B slide control.
- KEY mode: Replace one source with another by keying on a pre-selected color (Blue key) or brightness (Luma key). For example, when keyed on black, Source A would replace source B beginning with all black areas of color and progressing to a complete transition. The slide control adjusts for color intensity or brightness to optimize keying the function buttons (Blue and Luma keys). Each has two settings, so you can replace the blue with the other source or replace everything except the blue with the other source. A Source and B Source buttons let you select which source is used to key.
- Auto Fade/Wipe mode: This is used for
performing the wipes and fades automatically at the speed defined by users.
Press the ON button to activate the AUTO WIPE control. Press the START
button to execute the transition.
The speed of the wipe is determined by the setting of the control slide located in the Video Source Select box. Fade/Wipe transition time can be adjusted by operating the slide bar, selectable between wipe or mix effects and has a auto wipe/fade control.

Video Composition Functions
The manual push buttons on this section of the
control panel will allow users to select various wipe patterns, PIP modes and
color keys. Some of these buttons are marked 1/2, 1/3 or
1/4 indicating there are two, three or four levels of special effects available for
mixing into the operation. Each press of such a button advances users to the next level
of effect selected.
These function control buttons are also color coded in coordination with the color-coding on the buttons in the video transition mode section. For example, when the purple WIPE button is selected from the mode control section, all the purple color buttons in this Function section are available for operation. The MULTI SCREEN button here provides a variety of unique wipe patterns including diamond shapes and window-blind effects but it only works while set in the WIPE mode.

- MOSAIC: The MOSAIC effect breaks up the video image into tiny square patterns so to make the selected image area not recognizable. Commonly used in disguising identities of the objects. There are three sizes of MOSAIC squares available for selection.
- PAINT: The PAINT effect (Posterization) merges shades of colors and creates an abstract type of picture. Three levels of intensity are available.
- NEGATIVE: The NEGATIVE effect creates a negative image of the video selected. Press once to select NEGATIVE and press a second time to turn off.
[Note]: These effects can be combined. STILL or STROBE can be used with MOSAIC, PAINT and NEGATIVE. Select several effects at once and apply when desired by pressing the EFFECTS ON button.

Chroma
/ Luma Key Effects
This digital video effect processor is a
stand alone video overlay solution for empowering users to create stunning
virtual studio effects in real time. It is equipped with both Chroma Key and
Luminance Key. Keying allows isolation of images and superimposing one image
over another, great tool for all multimedia applications involved with
creating composited video effects to be used in education, advertising, media
center, video studios, wedding video graphers and all post production related
tasks.
There are two KEY modes: the chroma key (blue key screen) or the luminance key (black and white key) to isolate images and superimpose onto other scenes. As you make the transition, the key color is replaced by the secondary image:
- Chroma Key Effect:
- Blue Key
- Adjustable key level
- Normal or reverse key
- Luma Key Effect:
- Adjustable from black to while
- Normal or reverse key
A typical use for BLUE KEY edits is
when news broadcasts superimpose a weather map behind the weatherman, who stands
in front of a blue background. LUMA KEY keys on the brightness
levels. BLUE KEY keys on a specific shade of blue.
Background
Color Keying Selection
The background color control
button allows users to select one out of the 8 color keys to use in wipes and edits
keying on colors. Available color choices are BLUE, RED, MAGENTA, GREEN, CYAN,
YELLOW, WHITE and BLACK. The wide range of background color
keying selection benefits users for overlaying videos.
Users can easily adjust for color intensity or brightness to optimize the keying effect through using the A/B slide control located in the Video Source Select box for the color key effect to take place.
