Data Presets store text strings and image file links, and allow you to quickly update those aspects of a title
page on demand. Layer Presets are still more powerful, and allow you to hide or display layered various
graphic elements co mprising your LiveGraphics™ title page using predetermined per -layer animation (for
more about LiveGraphics, including how to author your own dynamic title pages, please refer to Appendix
A.5).
To access these features from your 4-Stripe control surface, you must first delegate a specific Buffer slot
containing the target graphic you wish to control. To do so, hold down SHIFT + MEM and punch the button
on the PGM A/C row at left corresponding to the desired Buffer .
Having delegated a Buffer as just described, hold down SHIFT + MACRO and punch the button on the PGM A/C
row at left that corresponds to the Data Preset you wish to recall. Or hold down SHIFT + COMP instead, to
invoke a Layer Preset using the same selection method.
SECTION 22.8 JOYSTICK
The Stripe control surface joystick provides a very versatile input mechanism.
In considering its applications it is important to realize that, unlike the Layers and Effects control groups at
left, the Joystick(s) located in the surface’s right -most column can optionally operate completely
independently from the stripes at left.
Thus, while T-Bar operations (for example) are always directed to the video busses delegated to the stripe
they are in, Joystick manipulations can affect any M/E , a PTZ (Pan, Tilt & Zoom) camera, or even a Media
Player .
