Chapter 1 Applying Effects to Video and Sound

This chapter describes how to apply effects to video, give changes to transition, and perform various types of keying and title insertion as well as explaining audio mixing.

Setting of Video Switching and Combining Effects

This section describes the method of selecting and processing a pattern used for video switching.

Setting the Transition (Wipe) Pattern [TRANSITION]

The [TRANSITION] menu is used to process a pattern used for transition wipe. This menu appears when one of No. 1 to No. 1550 patterns is selected.



For pattern numbers, refer to “List of Transition Patterns”

at the back of Volume 2.



For selecting patterns, refer to “To select a pattern”

(page Vol.1-35).

[TRANSITION] menu

The items which can be set vary with the selected pattern.

[MODIFY]

Settings can be made only for the basic patterns (the patterns shown as “Basic” in “List of Transition Patterns” at the back of this document) and their related patterns.

Rotary 1 Rotary 2 Rotary 3 Rotary 4 Rotary 5

Select the effect to be applied to the pattern using the rotary 2 control. When [COMP] is selected, the effect level ([SINGLE] or [DOUBLE]) can be set with the rotary 3 control.

Modify Description Level Example

COMP Reduced wipe [SINGLE]: Only

one image is reduced in size. [DOUBLE]: Both images are reduced in size.

SLIDE Sliding one image

into another

MULTI Vertical-striped

wipe

BLINDS Blind-type wipe None

None

 NOTE

When a transition pattern in the range of No. 200 to No. 222 (1001 to 1004, 1021 to 1023, 1030 to 1034, and 1059 to 1069) is selected, transition mix is performed. (The MIX button is lighted.) Of these patterns, when a pattern performing effects in which video and color effects are combined is selected, the VIDEO EFFECTS or COLOR EFFECTS button is lighted if turned off, and the [VIDEO EFFECTS] or [COLOR EFFECTS] menu appears.

The factory default setting is [OFF].

The List of Transition Patterns at the back of this document can be used to check the basic patterns and those with the Modify effects added. (Example: When SLIDE as the MODIFY effect is applied to the No. 1 basic pattern, the No. 43 pattern is generated.)

 NOTE

If any change is made to [MODIFY], the pattern number is • also changed automatically. When the internal video is selected as the video source after • switching, the image is not reduced in size, but becomes the same state as [SINGLE] is selected even if [BOTH] is selected for [COMP]. When one of the patterns in the range of No. 28 to No. 41 • (1501 to 1510 and 1521 to 1530), No. 32 to No. 35, and No. 130 to No. 133 (1541 to 1548) with the [COMP] effect set is selected to use an input video source reduced in size, the multi-strobe effect in the [VIDEO EFFECT] menu cannot be applied. Even if the multi-strobe effect is selected, it is disabled when the transition lever is operated.

[EFFECTS]

Select the effect of [SHADOW] or [TRAIL] using the rotary 2 control.

SHADOW: Adds black shadow to the pattern. TRAIL: Leaves trails of the moving pattern.

Select [OFF] to apply no effect.

Rotary 1 Rotary 2 Rotary 3 Rotary 4 Rotary 5

If [SHADOW] is selected

Rotary 1 Rotary 2 Rotary 3 Rotary 4 Rotary 5

Set the position of the shadow by operating the joystick while holding down the SHIFT key. The CENTER, SCENE GRABBER, and HOLD buttons ﬂash temporarily.

To cancel the shadow position setting, press the while holding down the SHIFT key in the state where [FEECTS] is selected (inverted to black). At the same time as the setting becomes [OFF], the speciﬁed shadow position is reset.

If [TRAIL] is selected

Rotary 1 Rotary 2 Rotary 3 Rotary 4 Rotary 5

Select the spark for the trail (the twinkling effect of trails) from [SELF] (original video), [SELF-SPARK] (spark of original video), [BODM] (border color), and [BODMSPARK] (border spark) using the rotary 3 control. When [BODM] or [BODM SPARK] is selected, the color set in the [PATTERN EDGE] submenu of the [TRANSITION] menu is used as the border color.

Set the continuation time of the trail in the range of 1 to 32 using the rotary 4 control.

To set the offset position of the trail, operate the joystick while holding down the SHIFT key. The CENTER, SCENE GRABBER, and HOLD buttons ﬂash temporarily. The offset position setting can be cancelled in the same way as for canceling the shadow position setting.

 NOTE

The trail or shadow settings are canceled when TRAIL or SHADOW is selected in the [DSK EFFECTS] submenu of the [DSK FADE] menu or when the multi-strobe effect or DECAY is selected in the [VIDEO EFFECTS] menu.

[PATTERN KEY]

The [BASIC PATTERN KEY] menu or [PATTERN KEY] menu is used to create a key with key patterns. The [BASIC PATTERN KEY] menu appears when the selected pattern has a number in the range of 3001 to 3046, and the [PATTERN KEY] menu appears when the selected pattern has a number of 3301 or larger.



For pattern numbers, refer to “List of Key Patterns” at the

back of Volume 2.

[BASIC PATTERN KEY] menu

This menu is displayed when the selected pattern has a number in the range of No. 3001 to No. 3046.

For [K LEVEL], set the key level (transparency level of the key) in the range of 0 to 255 using the rotary 5 control. The smaller the setting value, the higher the transparency. When 0 is set, the key disappears entirely (becomes transparent).

The key registered in the direct patterns can be individually set for each pattern.

[CROP] (for [PATTERN KEY] menu only)

Video used as the key can be cropped.

Rotary 1 Rotary 2 Rotary 3 Rotary 4 Rotary 5

Set the top edge of the video in the range of 0 to 243 (480i)/288 (576i)/720 (720P)/540 (1080i) using the rotary 2 control. The factory default setting is 0.

Set the bottom edge of the video in the range of 0 to 243 (480i)/288 (576i)/720 (720P)/540 (1080i) using the rotary 3 control. The factory default setting is 0.

[PATTERN KEY] menu

This menu is displayed when the selected pattern has No. 3301 or larger. The [PATTERN KEY] menu allows you to make settings for video cropping.

Scroll the screen to display.

Set the left edge of the video in the range of 0 to 720 (480i/576i)/1280 (720P)/1920 (1080i) using the rotary 4 control. The factory default setting is 0.

Set the right edge of the video in the range of 0 to 720 (480i/576i)/1280 (720P)/1920 (1080i) using the rotary 5 control. The factory default setting is 0.

For top and bottom edge settings, when one is increased, the other may be decreased to prevent the total value of both settings from exceeding the maximum value. For right and left edge settings, when one is increased, the other may be decreased to prevent the total value of both settings from exceeding the maximum value.

The key learn function allows storing the key frame settings (XYZ and key level) in memory and calling them to reproduce the animation effect. A key frame refers to a frame which deﬁnes changes of the video used for animation. Several points where a shape or position of an object is changed can be set in the key frame to create smooth animation through interpolation between the points.

With the [(BASIC) PATTERN KEY] menu, the rotary 1 control can be operated to select [KEY LEARN] to set key learn in the currently selected key pattern and register the key pattern as a pattern in the range of No. 9000 to No. 9019.
