3. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
BACKGROUND: a “Background” is a source, typically originating from a computer. A LiveCore™ unit enables you to work with live or still (Frame) background sources — visually in back of all other sources.
LAYER: a “Layer” is an image display element (such as a PIP window, Key, Logo or Background) that has a visual priority — either in front (or in back) of another layer. Depending on the LiveCore™ unit type, up to 6 independent true-seamless scaled layers are available.
PIP: a “PIP” (Picture In Picture) is a picture, typically of reduced size, which is positioned over another background image or other PIPs. PIPs can be repositioned, reduced, enlarged and displayed with borders. PIPs can overlap, depending on their visual priority. A LiveCore™ unit offers various slides, wipes, and fades for dynamic PIP entrances and exits. A “flying” PIP is also possible using vertical, horizontal, diagonal, or curved movement. A PIP is considered a layer.
FRAME:a“Frame”isafullscreenimagewhichisselectedfromoneofthestillFramesloadedontheLiveCore™ unit. Frames are imported from a computer through the Web RCS.
LOGO: a “Logo” is an image imported from a computer, through the Web RCS. It can be keyed, resized and displayed on a layer. A LiveCore™ unit can also resize the logo to be displayed in any size on the screen by resizing and place the related layer.
KEYING: “Key” is an electronic process whereby a video image is electronically superimposed over another sourceorbackground,bydynamicallyremovingaportionofthefirstimage.Forexample,removingallcontent of a certain color (such as green or blue) is called a cutting out either a color (Chroma Key,) and removing content based onor its brightness or luminance levels is called a (Luma Key). Keys are typically used for titles, Logos and special effects. A LiveCore™ unit allows you to key use a live source with Luma or Chroma key effects with green or blue background and to display key it over any other source or sources.
SCREEN: A “Screen” is a destination where the picture will be displayed. For example, it could be a single displayoraprojectionsurfacewhichcanbecomposedofoneorseveraloutputs.Eachscreenmightcomposed with of one or several layers.
SEAMLESS:Clean transition with no glitch or loss of sync while switching between two sources. For example, fading through black to another source is a seamless transition.
TRUE SEAMLESS: Clean seamless transitions with no glitch or freeze between two sources. For example, crossfading from source to source is a true seamless transition.
WEB RCS: Web browser based Remote Control Software used to control, set up, and operate the device.
SOFTEDGE:Soft Edge blending technology is used to compensate for the overlap or covering areawhen two (or more) video projectors are combined to display a continuous content across one screen. The resulting image will appear as though it were a single unified picture.
HARD EDGE: Hard Edge technology is used to display continuous content using to several outputs without any overlap or covering area. The outputs are “side by side”, they don’t overlap or share pixel information. (Opposed to Soft Edge where some parts of the image are simultaneously on several displays.)
CONFIDENCE MONITOR: Confidence monitoring consists on using an output to display a specific content such as another screen, input or combination there-of. You can display one of the main outputs or Preview output content. For example, you might use the confidence monitor to show both the presenter’s laptop input as well as the Program screen on a single display.

4.10 HDCP management
The input HDCP detection is managed by the input components according to HDCP specification.
LiveCore™ unit manages the output HDCP detection according to one of the following criteria:
-Hot plug,
-3-second period attempt.
Keys’ checking is performed according to the most restrictive condition among the 2 following ones:
-Every 2 seconds
-Every 128 frames
HDCP protected content can be displayed only on HDCP protected outputs or displays. Therefore, whenever an HDCP protected source is placed into a layer routed to a non-protected output, LiveCore™ unit will not output the protected content on this non-protected output, and the layer will be muted.
If possible, LiveCore™ unit will allow displaying all other non-protected contents, otherwise the entire output will be muted until the protected content is no longer routed to the affected output. See chapter 12.
Applications note and tips for more information.
