qЙкгл=~еЗ=aЙСбебнбзел

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).

The Encore Presentation System is the most advanced video processing and presentation
control system on the market today. The system provides source selection, advanced
windowing, seamless switching, video effects and integrated control for professional video
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.

The Encore Presentation System 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 real-time PIP (Picture-In-Picture) movements and re-sizing based upon
user specified key frames.

A fully-loaded Encore configuration supports six independent PIP or Key images, or three
transitioning PIP images. Seamless transition effects, Z-order control, window borders,
drop shadows and a variety of keying 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 high­resolution input channel.

Two different Encore System Controllers models are offered:

• The Encore Controller SC supports 24 inputs and controls 1 to 6 destinations.

• The Encore Controller LC supports 64 inputs and controls 1 to 32 destinations.

Both controllers can control external routers for external source selection and Encore Video
Processor units to provide high-performance real-time video effects. The controllers can
also be used with Barco Events Manager software to synchronize operation with external
devices and to run pre-programmed show sequences. The controllers use an embedded
Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) to provide high reliability, rapid power-up and true
real-time performance for critical video processing sequences.

Refer to the “Event Management
Events Manager.

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.

System Overview

• 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.

• Between mixers, the hierarchy of priorities is easy:

Background

M/E 1 (Mixer 1)

M/E 2 (Mixer 2)

M/E 3 (Mixer 3)

DSK

Figure 1-4. Mixer Priority

~ The Background layer is always at the bottom.

~ All effects on Mixer 1 are visually in front of the background.

~ All effects on Mixer 2 are in front of Mixer 1.

~ All effects on Mixer 3 are in front of Mixers 1 and 2.

~ The DSK is visually in front of Mixers 1, 2, 3 and background.

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 Video Processor.

• Wide Screen Destination — this is a “multiple projector” destination that takes its

inputs from two (or more) Video Processors.

• ScreenPRO-II Destination — this is a standalone ScreenPRO-II that takes its

inputs either via direct connections or via 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 (e.g., cut, dissolve) is selected on the
PresentationPRO-II itself.

A fully-loaded Encore Video Processor 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:

• In the following illustrations, the specific layers used in creating each effect are

labeled (e.g.,
Mixer 1,

• The symbol l denotes a PIP or a key that can transition. For example, PIP 2A

l2B indicates that you can dissolve between sources within the PIP.

The following topics are discussed:

• Single Mixer Effects

• Dual Mixer Effects

• Triple Mixer Effects

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.

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 “
