“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.)
The video effect buttons use the following color scheme:
A video effect button has 3 lines of 8 characters.
The first line of text identifies the video effect itself.
The second line of text identifies the effect assigned to the effect processor.
The third line of text varies:
• For DSKs, VOs, and XG keyers on the preset bus, the third line displays “CUT” or “FADE”
depending on how the effect is armed. If the effect is not armed, the third line of the button
displays nothing.
• For DVEs on the preset bus, the third line displays “ARMED” if the effect was armed. If the
effect is not armed, the third line of the button displays nothing.
• On the program bus, the third line generally is blank, but for XG keyers, the third line might
contain a portion of the XG keyer name if the name is longer than 8 characters.
Dark The video effect is not supported by the Imagestore 750.
Low-tally blue The video effect is not selected.
High-tally blue The video effect is selected.
High-tally amber An unselected video effect has a problem (e.g. non-sync or LOS). Amber
is a warning flag.
High-tally red The selected video effect has a problem (e.g. non-sync or LOS). Red is an
error flag or a severe warning.
