Analog Way Axion2 - Manual (Page 8)

The Axion2 buttons were designed with a handy color code to guide you, avoid mistakes, and give a constant
status of the device. Thus, all Axion2 buttons have two or three different states (and colors), depending on
their function and their current state.
All available (selectable) buttons, functions and effects light up green , other than the Source Main buttons
which light up in red.
Any selected button on the Axion2 becomes bright yellow .
The [TAKE] button is indicated in red , and will blink red when active.
The Axion2 is comprised of several double-take buttons ( [CLEAR], [CLEAR PIPs], [CLEAR LOGOs], [CLEAR
ALL] buttons...) which should be pressed once to activate and a second time to confirm. These will blink
yellow while waiting for confirmation.
Finally, some of the Axion2 buttons ( [PRESET MEMORY] for example) will turn pale yellow when they have
been selected, are active, but are not currently being worked with.
PIP: a PIP refers to Picture-in-Picture. It is a source (typically of reduced size) that is positioned over another
background image or another PIP. PIPs can be reduced, enlarged, bordered and shadowed. They can overlap
one another, depending on their visual priority.
LOGO: a Logo is a partiel screen image that can be flash captured from any video or computer source, by
keying or image cut-out. Logos can be positioned as required.
KEYING & TITLING: “Key” is an electronic process whereby a video image is electronically superimposed
over another source or background, by dynamically removing a portion of the first image. For example,
removing all content of a certain color (such as green or blue) is called a cutting out either a color (Chroma
Key,) and removing content based on or its brightness or luminance levels is called a (Luma Key). Keys are
typically used for titles, Logos and special effects.
