Operator’s Guide (for Imagestore 750s)
There is an ‘Over Ratio/Duck Level’ knob. When the panel is controlling an Imagestore, and a
voice-over is selected on program, the knob controls the “duck” level of voice-over on program
output. If both voice-overs are selected on program, the knob adjusts the duck level of both
voice-overs. This control affects the on-air signal.
There is a ‘Program Out’ knob. When the panel is controlling an Imagestore, and a voice-over is
selected on program, the knob controls the over level of the voice-over on program output. If
both voice-overs are selected on program, the knob adjusts the over level of both voice-overs.
This control also affects the on-air signal.
Voice-over sources are defined in the Imagestore 750 configuration. When voice-over accepts
EasyPlay clips, you can select different clips using the EasyPlay menus.
The voice-over mixers can also accept input from the Imagestore 750’s AES inputs. Choosing
audio clips from external media is outside the scope of this manual, but it will probably involve
loading, cueing, and pre-rolling different media.
The use of voice-overs is affected by certain transition options. See Transition Options on
page 119 for more information.
Performing Transitions with Voice-Over
You can transition voice-overs to (or from) program output.
Follow these steps to transition one or more voice-overs to program output:
1 Press the desired VO button(s) on preset. Selected VO buttons are high-tally.
On preset, the VO buttons have 3 states: cut, fade, and off. Press the button again to cycle it
to its next state. When the state is ‘cut’, the VO cuts to the program bus during the next tran-
sition and when the state is ‘fade’, the VO fades (at its current rate) to the program bus.
2 Optionally, set up other video effects, and transition type and rate.
3 Press the Transition button.
To remove voice-over(s) from program, press the desired VO button(s) on the preset bus to dese-
lect them and perform a transition in the normal way. Here too, the VO buttons have 3 states:
cut, fade, and off. When the state is ‘cut’, the VO cuts from the program bus during the next tran-
sition and when the state is ‘fade’, the VO fades from the program bus.
Please note: you can “hot cut” VOs directly on and off the program bus at any time, as required,
simply by pressing the desired VO on the program bus. Hot cuts are not recommended.
Hot cuts have side effects on the preset bus, depending on which transition options are active in
the currently selected Imagestore 750.
