The following terms and definitions are used throughout this guide:
• A “Background” is an unscaled source (typically originating from a computer’s
multi-head graphics card), or a frame grab from a scaled source. Encore provides
two background sources (BG A and BG B), each of which appears at the
system’s lowest priority — visually in back or underneath all other sources.
• A “Destination” is a location to which you can route the output of Encore. A
destination can be configured as:
~ a single screen (one projector)
~ multiple screens (such as a wide screen application)
~ an “Aux” destination (such as a monitor, a PresentationPRO-II or an
ImagePRO system)
~ an external processor (such as a ScreenPRO-II)
• A “Key” is an electronic (and visual) process whereby one image is electronically
superimposed over another source or background. Keys are typically used for
titles, logos, and banners.
• A “Layer” is an image display element (such as a PIP, Key or Background) that
has an associated visual priority — either in front (or in back) of another layer.
• A “Mixer” is the electronic circuitry that enables you to transition (and scale) PIPs
and Keys over a background.
• “M/E” (Mix/Effects) is synonymous with “mixer.” Each Encore M/E is capable of
layering either two PIPs, two keys, or one of each.
~ When discussing system hardware, the term “M/E” will be used to
describe the Processor’s physical input boards.

Terms and Definitions
~ When discussing Encore operations, the term “mixer” will be used —
specifically because the term “mixer” is silk-screened on the panel.

• “Operator” refers to the person who uses the system.
• “PIP” refers to Picture-in-Picture, an on-screen setup in which one picture
(typically of reduced size) is positioned over another background image — or
another PIP. PIPs can be reduced, enlarged, bordered, shadowed, and mixed on
and off Program. PIPs can overlap each other, depending on their visual priority.
• A “Preset” is a register in which you can store (and recall) the entire Controller ’s
configuration or “look.” On the Controller LC, 900 presets are available. On the
Controller SC, 64 are available. Dedicated “Preset” buttons are provided.
• “Screen” and “Menu” both refer to the Touch Screen menus.
• “System” refers to the Encore Presentation System.
• A “Scaler” is the electronic circuitry that enables you to reduce or enlarge source
images, thus creating PIPs and Keys that can be positioned (and transitioned).
• Because the system supports two Video Processor models:
~ “VP” refers to Video Processor, the system’s full-input Video Processor.
~ “VPx” refers to the Video Processor chassis with a reduced set of inputs.
VPx is used only for widescreen configurations, and a special
widescreen “preview” configuration.
Refer to the “The Encore Video Processor

The Encore Presentation System is the most advanced video processing and presentation
control system on the market today. The system provides source selection, windowing,
seamless switching, video effects and integrated control for professional presentations.
Encore's modular, scalable architecture allows the system to support a wide variety of
show configurations. The system can efficiently support from 1-32 screens (or
“destinations”) with any combination of independent display or seamless wide screen
display elements.
Encore incorporates universal inputs that accept both analog and digital video. Motion
adaptive de-interlacing is provided for both standard and HD source video. Incoming video
is processed by Barco Folsom's proprietary Athena scaler, which supports smooth realtime PIP (Picture-In-Picture) movements and re-sizing.
A fully-loaded Encore can support 12 independent PIP or Key images, or six transitioning
PIP images. Seamless transition effects, Z-order control, borders, drop shadows and a
variety of key effects are fully supported. Two un-scaled background channels provide a
high resolution backdrop that also supports seamless transition effects. Downstream Key
(DSK) effects are supported by a third un-scaled high-resolution input.
Two different Encore Controllers are offered:
• The Encore Controller SC supports 24 inputs and controls 1 to 6 destinations.

System Overview
qЬЙ=bеЕзкЙ=sбЗЙз=mкзЕЙллзк
The Encore Video Processor is a compact chassis that provides the Encore Presentation
System’s input and output circuitry. Two models are available:
• The “standard” Video Processor (VP) is a full-featured model that includes all
input, output, genlock and link circuitry.
• The VPx is a VP with a reduced set of inputs (DVI only). The VPx is used for
widescreen configurations, and a special widescreen “preview” configuration.
VPx includes all output and link circuitry, no genlock circuitry, and only a small
subset of the standard VP’s input circuitry.
Important
Both units provide a 3RU rack-mount chassis that can be configured with one, two or three
M/E (mixer) boards. One or two M/E systems can be upgraded with additional M/E boards.
In a widescreen configuration, a VPx cannot function in a
standalone manner, but must always work downstream of a
standard VP. Here, a VPx cannot be the first processor in an
Encore configuration.
In the special widescreen “preview” configuration, a VPx can
be used as a standalone destination that accepts DVI input
signals only — but no other input types are accepted, and no
genlock circuitry is provided.

Each M/E board provides two independent Athena scalers with universal inputs that handle
both analog and digital video sources.

System Overview
^=tçêÇ=^Äçìí=i~óÉêë
Within the Encore system, each mixer has two layers, A and B, and each can be assigned
to either PIP or Key functionality.
A typical single mixer application (including the DSK) is illustrated below.
Background
Layer A: PIP
Nature
Layer B: Key
DSK
Figure 1-4. Layer Illustration — Background, Single Mixer + DSK
Please note the following important points:
• The Downstream Key (DSK) is the highest priority layer, using an unscaled DVI
input or a scaled frame grab. The DSK visually appears over all other images
(PIPs and keys) on all mixers.
• The high resolution Background layer has the lowest priority, using an unscaled
DVI input or a scaled frame grab. This layer visually appears behind all other
PIPs, keys, and the DSK. The system can transition between two background
sources — both of which must be at the projector’s native resolution.
• On any mixer, a PIP layer appears over backgrounds and under the DSK. Effects
include mixes and wipes, smooth moves and resizing, adjustable aspect ratio,
borders, drop shadows and soft edges, and PIP “clone” mode (mirror and offset).
• On any mixer, a Key layer also appears over backgrounds and under the DSK.
Key effects include luminance keys, split keys (key alpha and fill), invert keys and
color keys (graphics).
• Within a single mixer, layer B has priority over layer A, but you can change that
priority as desired by pressing the Swap Z-Order button.
• On a triple mixer system, up to six inputs can be scaled to produce PIP or Key
images that can be transitioned independently or in pairs.

System Overview
^=tзкЗ=^Дзмн=aЙлнбе~нбзел
The Encore Presentation System offers complete flexibility with regard to destinations.
Examples of each destination “type” are listed below:
• Single Screen Destination — this is a “single projector” destination that takes its
input from a VP. A VPx can only be used as a single destination in a special
widescreen “preview” configuration.
• Wide Screen Destination — this is a “multiple projector” destination that takes its
inputs from two (or more) VP or VPx units.
• ScreenPRO-II Destination — this is a standalone ScreenPRO-II that takes its
inputs via direct connections or routers. When the ScreenPRO-II output is
connected to a “side” projector (or monitor), its “look” can be controlled from the
Encore Controller as a unique destination.
• Aux Destination — this is a monitor that takes its input from a router output (in a
single format). When you select an Aux destination and a source on the
Controller, you are talking directly to a router output via RS-232 or Ethernet
communications — and making the selected source-to-destination connection.
• ImagePRO Aux Destination — this is an ImagePRO that takes its input(s) from
multiple routers in multiple formats. When connected to a monitor or projector, a
scaled signal is provided in one format. Whereas an Aux Destination’s input is
single format, an ImagePRO Aux Destination’s input is multi-format.
• PresentationPRO-II Aux Destination — this is a PresentationPRO-II that takes
its input(s) from up to two routers — one analog and one SDI. When connected to
a single monitor or projector, a scaled signal is provided in one format. The
transition “type” between sources is selected on the PresentationPRO-II itself.
In Chapter 6, refer to the “Destination Setup
destination setup procedures. Refer to the “AUX Destination Setup
for details on Aux destination setup procedures.

A fully-loaded Encore VP or VPx is a unit with three mixer (M/E) boards. A unit configured
in this way can scale six input sources to create PIPs and/or Keys. These in turn can be
sized and positioned on the screen in real-time.
This section illustrates the many (but not all) combinations of image effects that you can
create on 1, 2 and 3 mixer systems. Please note:
The following topics are discussed:
pбеЦдЙ=jбсЙк=bССЙЕнл
• In the following illustrations, the specific layers used in creating each effect are
labeled (e.g.,
Mixer 1,
PIP 1A, PIP 1B). For example, 1A denotes the first PIP or key on
1B denotes the second PIP or key on Mixer 1, etc.
• The symbol ↔ denotes a PIP or a key that can transition. For example, PIP 2A
↔ 2B indicates that you can dissolve between sources within the PIP.
• Single Mixer Effects
• Dual Mixer Effects
• Triple Mixer Effects
A single Mixer Encore system provides two backgrounds, two scalable layers in the Mixer
plus an unscaled DSK. Please note:
• If the DSK is in use, the background cannot transition between A and B — it’s all a
matter of “available resources.”
• The DSK and backgrounds are unscaled, in all cases.
In Chapter 7, refer to the “
information.

• Single Mixer Effect 1
This effect includes a non-transitioning background (either A or B), one

This transition is similar to effect 1, but because the DSK is not in use, the
background can transition from source A to B, and the PIP can transition between
layers A and B.
