unlock the Controller, a lockout code is required. In Chapter7, refer to t he
“Enable/Disable Controller Lockout” section on page352 for instructions.
•Destination Based Effects Menu
The Effects Menu allows you to modify and manage effects on a destination-by-
destination basis, including the ability to define key frames, transition rates, paths
and effect properties. In Chapter 5, refer to the “Effects Menu” section on
page209 for details.
•Programmable Raster Box Size
In the Settings Menu, users can adjust the size of the raster box that surrounds
PIPs and Keys — on a destination by destination basis. In Chapter 5, refer to the

•Flicker Reduction for Interlaced Formats
When using Encore to output an interlaced format, a Flicker Reduce label
appears in the Settings Menu. The range is OFF (no reduction) or 1 (minimum
reduction) through 20 (maximum reduction). In Chapter 5, refer to the “Settings
Menu” section on page 165 for details.
•Output Formats
Additional output formats are available. In Appendix A, refer to the “Input and
Output Resolutions” section on page 375 for details.

single or wide screen configurations, and Controller operations are identical to
“non-stacked” systems. Stacking is only available with the Controller LC. In
