Working with Frames with an Analog Way Controller or RCS

Opening transitions & closing Still Layers (Logos or Frames)

It is possible to store up to 4 frames in the

STE200

non volatile memory. Frames are mainly used

as backgrounds in a typical show or event setup, and can be recorded from any of the

STE200’s

12 sources and called back at the press of a single button. To use a frame, be sure first that it is well saved,

then:

Press Background frame button → Press Frame # button

* NOTE * : Frames may be used only one at a time and can be placed only in the background Frame layer.

When transitioning still layers, depending on how many scalers are in use, the

STE200

[TAKE]

function will

act in one of 2 different ways when transitioning the Next Preset (Preview) to the Current Preset (Main):

•

Take shot: #1

- All still frames make an opening and closing phase.

- All sources of the same layer are completely different between the Current Preset and the Next Preset. The

opening and closing effects of the Layer are set to Cut.

•

Take shot: #2

- One of the Layer makes a change of source which be not in Cut.

- The opening and closing phases can be done with different effects.

- The still frame appears and disappears of the layer with the following effects: Cut, Fade, Slide or Wipe.
