M/E Menus
Intermediate Video Settings
In the Intermediate Video Appears data pad, the intermediate video can be
set to appear either
Full Screen or Only On Layers That Change . Selecting Full
Screen enables a full raster of intermediate video to appear during the mix
transition. Selecting Only On Layers That Change restricts the intermediate
video to appear only in layers that change during the mix transition.
In the Intermediate Video Source data pad use the Edit Matte button to link
to the M/E Mattes menu (see the Matte – M/E Menu on page 292 ) where the
intermediate video source can be selected as Matte or Utility (video). The
Matte menu will automatically be delegated to the correct M/E.
To use a matte as intermediate video, select the Matte button in the Base
Color – Source data pad on the right of the M/E – Matte menu. Matte
values automatically delegate to the M/E Trans Wipe Border controls. Use
the matte controls to set the desired matte settings for the intermediate
video.
If you wish to use the M/E Utility bus video, select the Utility button in the
Base Color – Source data pad. On the Main Control panel, select the Utility
button in the Key Bus delegate subpanel for the M/E you are using and
select the desired intermediate video source on the delegated Key bus.
Refer to Key Buses
on page 106 .

tion, refer to Mix Through Video Transition

Source Select Menu
A Source Select menu is accessible from the M/E and Keyer menus. The
Source Select menu is used to change sources in real-time from the Menu
panel. This menu makes it possible to select sources that are not mapped to
any source select buttons. Infrequently used sources (like Black or a CG
logo) may not be mapped on a bus, to free up buttons for use with other
more important sources.
