Working with Presets
mêÉëÉíë=~åÇ=jçîÉë
Encore’s Preset mode provides a unique "automatic pend move" feature:
•If you store several Presets, for example, with the same PIP in different sizes and
positions on screen, the system automatically pends a Move when you recall
each Preset. You do not have to store the PIP with a Move Setup enabled.
In this way, when you cut each Preset to Program, the PIP moves from point to
point. The end point of the last move becomes the starting point for the next move
— regardless of the sequence in which the Presets are recalled.
•The following rules apply:
~The layer stored in each Preset must be the same, the source must be
the same, and PIP parameters (in general) must be the same. If any of
these parameters are different, the system will not pend the move.
~In this mode, all key frame effects are LINEAR. If you want to use other
key frame effects such as LINEAR ACCL or ARCH CW, you must
purposely store the PIP with a Move Setup.
•For a given PIP, the following effects are valid "move" parameters, each of which
will transition smoothly from point to point. You can change any of these
parameters, and the system will pend a move:
~PIP or Key size and position
~PIP or Key source size and position
~PIP Shadow size and position
~PIP or Key Crop values
If you change any other parameters, such as shadow opacity, border color, border
style, image effects, etc., the system will not pend the move.
•If you recall a Preset with a defined Move to an empty layer, both the starting and
ending points of the recalled Move will be used.

Please note the following important points regarding Presets:
•Destinations — Active destinations (standard and Aux) are stored in Presets. If a
Destination which was saved in a Preset goes off-line, the Preset recalls "looks"
on those Destinations that are still available.
•Modification Status — The "active for modification" status of a layer is stored
(and recalled) in a Preset.
•Aux Sources — Aux source selections are saved and recalled in Presets.
•Barco Events Manager — All "resource" rules apply when Presets are used in
conjunction with the Barco Events Manager application.
•MMC Cards — Presets starting with page 15, Preset 1 (and above) can be saved
provided an MMC or MMCPlus card (512MB or larger) is installed in the Multi-
media card slot in the back of the Controller. If you attempt to save into these
Preset locations without an MMC card, an error message will be shown.
Note that these Presets (page 15, Preset 1 and above) are saved in a separate
location on the MMC card, and will not interfere with any backup and restore
operations. When a Backup is performed, the "Formatting Card" step does not
delete any existing Presets that were stored on the card prior to the backup.
