Section 11 — Input/Output Menu
Because only two signals are combined at a time, intermediate stages are
required for four channel combining. Each stage has one channel input,
and one other input from a previous stage. Stage 1 is the final output stage,
Stage 2 is the intermediate stage, and Stage 3 is the initial stage. Stage 3
actually has two channel inputs, since there are no previous stages. For sim-
plicity, the two inputs to each stage (including Stage 3) are called Channel
(Chan) and Prev (Prev).
The currently selected Mix Mode of each stage is indicated on the screen
with
N (Normal), D (Depth), and V (Variable). When a stage is set to Variable
the numbers of the layering selections are also displayed.
Combining
When the Camera channel is delegated, the following functions are avail-
able.
Press MODIFY to select COMBINING , and select a combining stage by pressing
MODIFY STAGE . You can now assign a combining method to that stage by
pressing MIX MODE . Each stage can be given a different mix mode. Soft knobs
controls on the right are associated with each stage. The parameters con-
trolled by these knobs varies depending on the mix mode selected.
NORMAL — Allows simple mix control of the source channel’s input over the
previous stage’s output (or the lower priority input channel to the first
stage).
MIX LEVEL — determines if only the Channel (0 Mix Level), or only the
Previous (100 mix level), or a mix of the two selections (intermediate
levels) will be output where the input key signals overlap.
Press MIX MODE to assign a VARIABLE mix mode to the selected stage and
display the following menu.
