System Control Concept

be a smooth transition. In either case, you select the elements you wish to
change, specify what the change will be, and apply that change of state to
the Kalypso system.

Part of specifying what the change will be can include defining the way the
system will transition from the previous state to the new one. For example,
you can select a Mix transition type (which does not immediately cause any
change to the video the system outputs), choose what elements will be
affected by the change (which also does not change the outputs), and then
enact the change, at which time the video output changes.

Once you have the system in a desired state, you can save that condition for
reuse to an E-MEM register. With register keyframes you can also precisely
control the dynamics of how an effect will change through time. Building
E-MEM effects with known starting and ending states, and organizing
these effects so they change only selected portions of the Kalypso system
state, provides immense control over the video the Kalypso system out-
puts.

Additionally, many Kalypso system features have overrides that allow you
to temporarily prevent a change from occurring. For example, a Hold can
be imposed on a bus to prevent it from changing its source selection when
an E-MEM effect is recalled. This offers even more system control, making
it possible to build effects that can be used in a variety of situations.

Knowing how to select the areas to change, defining what that change will
be, and saving appropriate states to E-MEM are the keys to successful
Kalypso system operation.
