PIP:
a PIP (Picture In Picture), is a picture, typically of reduced size, which is positioned over another
background image or PIP. PIPs can be reduced, enlarged and bordered. PIPs can overlap, depending on
their visual priority. The PIPs or Layers are labelled
[W1]
to
[W4]
on the front panel.
SQD200
allows for Dynamic PIP on the opening and closing of the sequence, vertically or horizontally. A
“flying” PIP is also possible over the screen with vertical, horizontal or diagonal animation. A PIP is considered
as a live layer.
FRAME:
a Frame is a full screen image which is selected from one of the 7 still frames which you can
capture with the
SQD200
. A Frame can be flash captured from any video or computer source plugged into
the machine (7 max).
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.
SQD200
can record up to 7 still logos. They can be positioned anywhere on the
screen.
KEYING:
a Key is an electronic process whereby an image is electronically superimposed over another
source or background, by cutting out either a color (Chroma Key), or its brightness or luminance levels (Luma
Key). Keys are typically used for titles, logos and special effects.
SQD200
allows to use a live source with
green or blue background and to key it over any other live input.
