The following terms and definitions are used throughout this guide:
A “Background” is an unscaled source (typically originating from a computer’s
multi-head graphics card), or a frame grab from a scaled source. Encore provides
two background sources (BG A and BG B), each of which appears at the
system’s lowest priority — visually in back or underneath all other sources.
A “Destination” is a location to which you can route the output of Encore. A
destination can be configured as:
~a single screen (one projector)
~multiple screens (such as a wide screen application)
~an “Aux” destination (such as a monitor, a PresentationPRO-II or an
ImagePRO system)
~an external processor (such as a ScreenPRO-II)
A “Key” is an electronic (and visual) process whereby one image is electronically
superimposed over another source or background. Keys are typically used for
titles, logos, and banners.
A “Layer” is an image display element (such as a PIP, Key or Background) that
has an associated visual priority — either in front (or in back) of another layer.
A “Mixer” is the electronic circuitry that enables you to transition (and scale) PIPs
and Keys over a background.
M/E” (Mix/Effects) is synonymous with “mixer.” Each Encore M/E is capable of
layering either two PIPs, two keys, or one of each.
~When discussing system hardware, the term “M/E” will be used to
describe the Processor’s physical input boards.
