Source Button Characteristics
The source buttons display an 8-character source name on the button.
The main source buttons use the following color scheme:
The touchscreen displays the source status. If status is “OK,” there is no message text. These are
possible fault conditions:
The numbers here show the priority of the messages (in case more than one condition arises).
“Hot Cuts”
When you press a button on the program bus, whether main source, video effect, or voice-over, the
iMC-Panel-100 will request the Imagestore 750 to perform a “hot cut” on the program bus. The
Imagestore 750 performs the hot cut without benefit of a transition.
Video Effects
Selected video effects overlay the selected main video source. Video effects are cumulative and
apply in the order defined by the Imagestore 750.
DSKs are applied in this order: DSK1, DSK2, DSK3, DSK4.
If the Imagestore 750 has a DVE unit, it can insert DVEs in the video stream in one of three places:
before DSK1, before DSK2, or before DSK3.
If the Imagestore 750 is connected to an Intuition XG processor, one of its DSKs can process XG
keyer layers from the Intuition XG.
Any one effect is electronically downstream and visually on top of all the effects preceding it in the
order. Any one effect is electronically upstream and visually under of all the effects following it in
the order.
“Downstream” effects modify “upstream” effects and the main source. Upstream effects never
modify downstream effects. For example, a DVE might transform the main source and DSK1, but
not DSK2 or DSK3.
S
Please note: the order of effect buttons and the number of effects assigned to the buttons do not
affect the order in which the Imagestore 750 applies the effects. (Also, the source is always
upstream of any effect.)
