Limitations
CAUTION: The Fill/Key output and normal modes will be switched automatically
while playing a clip. The video may be disrupted due to the output signal loss when
the modes are switched, however, this is not a system failure.
Limitations
• The pairing function is not available for alpha embedded clips.
• A loading operation cannot be performed if the 3D Sync. and lock buttons are
turned on.
• If the E to E button is turned on, a message appears. The E to E mode is turned off
if you continue.
• If a different clip is already loaded in the other channel when an alpha embedded
clip is loaded, it is unloaded.
• Playback operations of alpha embedded clips can be performed only in the Fill side
channel.
• The following operations are available while an alpha embedded clip is loaded:
- Move to an In/Out point (Cue(IN) button operations and Cue(OUT) button
operations)
- Set an In/Out point (Mark(IN) button operations and Mark(OUT) button
operations)
- Create a sub clip (you cannot create a sub clip of a still image clip with an
alpha channel)
- Move to the first frame, frame reverse, stop, playback, frame forward, and
move to the last frame
- Scrubbing bar operations
- Set a fade in effect (applied to the Key side)/fade out effect (applied to the
Key side)/actions (pause, loop) for an event in a playlist
• The following operations are not available while an alpha embedded clip is loaded:
- Fast forward and fast reverse
- VAR operations
- TRIM button operations for clips in a playlist
• The system will import files that contain transparency information after converting
them to GrassValley HQ AVI files. In this case, the conversion is performed so that
the bitrate will be lower (the Q value = 12).
• Similarly, you can also play an alpha embedded clip using the remote control with
an AMP command.
• You cannot import a sequence file in which still images with alpha channels and
those without alpha channels are mixed.
• While in the Fill/Key output mode, locking the Fill side channel will also cause the
Key side channel to be locked.
