Working with Cut, Fade or Transitions

Working with PIP

All the transitions (Cut, Fade or Transitions) are available in the Native Matrix Mode. Although the Matrix

Mode is activated, you will be able to perform powerful transition effects seamlessly. It can depend on your

configuration.

The

Eikos has 4 scalers, to understand how your effect will be performed, you need to know how many sca-

lers are used on your outputs. Don’t forget that you always need one free scaler to perform clean transition.

Example:

1 background live on each output → 2 scalers used

→

2 seamless transitions

1 background live on each output + 1 PIP on output

1 → 3 scalers used

→

1 seamless transition

available

1 background live on each output + 2 PIP on each outputs → 4 scalers used

→

no seamless transi-

tion (ie: fade through black)

The background Frame and the Logos are not considered as live layers and are not counted as using a scaler.

The PIPs are used in the same way as the Mixer Mode. A source has to be selected to activate the PIP set-

tings. Each PIP has its own settings, PIP1 on output

1 is not linked to PIP1 on output

2 in terms of settings.

All PIP settings are available in the Layer menu once the PIP is selected.

* NOTE *: Take a look at the blinking of the Matrix Mode button to always know on which output you are

working on.

Working with Native Matrix Mode

To activate the Native Matrix Mode:

Mode Menu → Matrix Mode Menu

You’ll find all menus from the Mixer Mode in the main menu except some specific matrix function

added.

To work with Native Matrix Mode, you have to use the Matrix # buttons first.
