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. 20 Encore Presentation System · User's Guide NK==fåíêçÇìÅíáçå Terms and Definitions ~ When discussing Encore operations, the term "mixer" will be used -- specifically because the term "mixer" is silk-screened on the panel. Mixer 1 1 A 1 B Split Figure 1-1. Mixer Label in the Layer Control Section · · "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). · · · · Encore Presentation System · User's Guide 21 NK==fåíêçÇìÅíáçå System Overview póëíÉã=lîÉêîáÉï The following topics are discussed in this section: · · · · · · · · · · Advanced Video Processing Encore Features The Encore Video Processor A Word About Layers A Word About Destinations Effect Combinations Integration with Signal Routers Event Management Configuration Applications Product Differentiation ^Çî~åÅÉÇ=sáÇÉç=mêçÅÉëëáåÖ The Encore Presentation System is the most advanced video processing and presentation control system on the market today.

For complete flexibility, each layer can be assigned to either PIP or Key functionality. A typical single mixer application (plus DSK) is illustrated below. Background Layer A: PIP Layer B: Key DSK Nature Wilderness Figure 1-3. 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. · · · Encore Presentation System · User's Guide 25 NK==fåíêçÇìÅíáçå 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. ^=tçêÇ=^Äçìí=aÉëíáå~íáçåë 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. · · · 26 Encore Presentation System · User's Guide NK==fåíêçÇìÅíáçå System Overview In Chapter 6, refer to the "Destination Setup" section on page 257 for details on standard destination setup procedures. Refer to the "AUX Destination Setup" section on page 259 for details on Aux destination setup procedures. bÑÑÉÅí=`çãÄáå~íáçåë 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., PIP 1A, PIP 1B). For example, 1A denotes the first PIP or key on Mixer 1, 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. The following topics are discussed: Single Mixer Effects Dual Mixer Effects Triple Mixer Effects páåÖäÉ=jáñÉê=bÑÑÉÅíë 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 "A Word About Resources" section on page 322 for additional information. Single Mixer Effect 1 This effect includes a non-transitioning background (either A or B), one transitioning PIP and the DSK. Background PIP 1A 1B DSK Figure 1-5. Single Mixer Effect 1 Diagram Encore Presentation System · User's Guide 27 NK==fåíêçÇìÅíáçå System Overview · Single Mixer Effect 2 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. Background A B PIP 1A 1B Figure 1-6. Single Mixer Effect 2 Diagram · Single Mixer Effect 3 In this effect, because the DSK is in use, the background cannot transition. Here, you can independently fade (or cut) one scaled PIP and one scaled key, with complete size and position flexibility. Background PIP 1A Key 1B DSK Figure 1-7. Single Mixer Effect 3 Diagram · Single Mixer Effect 4 This transition is similar to effect 3, but because the DSK is not in use, the background can transition between sources A and B. You can also independently fade, cut, size and position both the PIP and the key. Background A B PIP 1A Key 1B Figure 1-8. Single Mixer Effect 4 Diagram 28 Encore Presentation System · User's Guide NK==fåíêçÇìÅíáçå System Overview · Single Mixer Effect 5 In this effect, because the DSK is in use, the background cannot transition -- you can use either A or B. Here, you can independently fade two scaled PIPs up and down -- with or without the DSK on screen. Background PIP 1A PIP 1B DSK Figure 1-9. Single Mixer Effect 5 Diagram · Single Mixer Effect 6 This transition is similar to effect 5, but because the DSK is not in use, the background can transition. You can also independently fade the two PIPs. Background A B PIP 1A PIP 1B Figure 1-10. Single Mixer Effect 6 Diagram aì~ä=jáñÉê=bÑÑÉÅíë A dual Mixer Encore system provides two backgrounds, a total of four scalable layers in the two Mixers, plus an unscaled DSK. · Dual Mixer Effect 1 Using the capabilities of two Mixers, this effect enables you to transition backgrounds, in addition to transitioning the PIPs on both Mixer 1 and 2 -- with or without the DSK on screen. Background A B PIP PIP 1A 1B 2A 2B DSK Figure 1-11. Dual Mixer Effect 1 Encore Presentation System · User's Guide 29 NK==fåíêçÇìÅíáçå System Overview · Dual Mixer Effect 2 With this dual Mixer effect, you can transition backgrounds between sources A and B, plus independently size, position, cut or fade a PIP and key on each Mixer. Transitions within the PIPs cannot be performed. The DSK can be used without restriction. Background A B PIP 2A PIP 1A Key 1B Key 2B DSK Figure 1-12. Dual Mixer Effect 2 · Dual Mixer Effect 3 This effect enables you to transition between backgrounds, and size/position four PIPs on screen -- with or without the DSK. In addition, any PIP could be substituted for a key, but transitions within a PIP (or transitions between keys) cannot be performed. Background A PIP 1A PIP 1B B PIP 2A PIP 2B DSK Figure 1-13. Dual Mixer Effect 3 qêáéäÉ=jáñÉê=bÑÑÉÅíë A triple Mixer Encore system provides two backgrounds, a total of six scalable layers in the three Mixers plus an unscaled DSK. · Triple Mixer Effect 1 With this three Mixer effect, you can transition between backgrounds, fade or cut the DSK as desired, and independently transition within three PIPs. Background A PIP 1A B PIP 3A 3B 1B PIP 2A 2B DSK Figure 1-14. Triple Mixer Effect 1 30 Encore Presentation System · User's Guide NK==fåíêçÇìÅíáçå System Overview · Triple Mixer Effect 2 This effect enables you to transition between backgrounds sources, plus independently size, position, cut or fade a PIP and key on each of the three Mixers.
