Working with Layer Functions

The Clone mode is designed for widescreen configurations only. It enables you to make
an exact copy of a layer onto the opposite screen. All Key or PIP parameters are cloned —
including the shadow, effects, border and size. Once cloned, you can select between a
“mirror” or an “offset” clone.
Use the following steps to clone a layer:
1. Ensure that a PIP or Key is selected in the Layer Control Section, and active for
modification in Preview.
2. Ensure that the PIP or Key is positioned fully within the boundaries of an outside
destination’s screen. If the PIP or Key straddles the center of the widescreen, the
Clone mode cannot be enabled.
SIn a 2 screen blend, the PIP or Key cannot be positioned such that it
sits between screens 1 and 2.
SIn a 3 screen blend, the PIP or Key cannot be positioned anywhere
within the Screen 2 space.
3. Press Clone to display the Clone Setup Menu.
4. Select the desired clone type — Mirror or Offset.
5. If Offset is selected, adjust the offset (in pixels) as desired.
6. If desired, clone additional layers by repeating the procedure from step 1.
7. Press CUT or AUTO TRANS to transition the new effect to Program.

In Split mode only, use the following steps to swap the Z-order (priority) of two layers
within the same mixer. The function works with two Keys, two PIPs, or one of each.
1. In the selected mixer, ensure that Split mode is enabled.
2. Ensure that you have two layers visible on Preview, with one layer visually
overlapping the other.
3. In the Layer Functions Section, press Swap Z-Order. The visual priority (on
Preview) of the two layers changes. Note that the layers remain at their current
locations — only the priority changes.
4. Transition the new "look" to program with a CUT or AUTO TRANS.
