Extron electronic Operation, cont’d, RCP 1000 Operation, 3 - Standard wipe transitions

Operation, cont’d

•From bottom to top

left to right right to left top to bottom bottom to top

Figure 3-3 — Standard wipe transitions

•A curtain wipe causes the preview image to appear to unroll over the program image in two directions simultaneously. A curtain wipe can have either hard (sharp) or soft (fuzzy) edges. The preview image can have the following transitions (figure 3-4):

•In from the left and right edges of the screen to the center of the screen

•Out from the center of the screen to the left and right edges of the screen

•In from the top and bottom edges of the screen to the center of the screen

•Out from the center of the screen to the top and bottom edges of the screen

Figure 3-4 — Curtain wipe effects

•A plus wipe causes the preview image to appear to unroll over the program image in one of two transitions (figure 3-5):

•Starting in all four corner of the screen and moving in to the center of the screen

•Starting at the center of the screen and moving out to the corners of the screen

Figure 3-5 — Plus wipe effects

•A square wipe causes the preview image to appear to unroll over the program image in one of two transitions (figure 3-6):

•Starting at all four edges of the screen and moving in to the center of the screen

•Starting at the center of the screen and moving out to the edges of the screen

Figure 3-6 — Square wipe effects

• A title can have two effects: window or key.

A title window causes a predefined box in the program image to dissolve to reveal the preview image (figure

3-7). The effect is as if the preview image were located behind the program image, and a window in the program image opens to show the preview image.

Figure 3-7 — A title effect

A title key causes any portion of the preview image which is over half intensity (.35V) to be displayed with the program image.

When the either title effect ends, the preview image disappears, and the program image is again intact.

The title box can be sized and centered anywhere on the screen. See chapter 3 of the SGS 408 User’s Manual for more information.

Implementing an effect

After an effect has been set up on the SGS 408, you can implement it from the RCP 1000. To implement an effect (other than a title — see “Implementing a title” below), do the following:

1.Press the preview input button to display the preview image on the preview monitor.

2.Press the Effect button for the desired effect. (If the button is already lit, you do not need to press it.)

3.When you want the effect to occur, press the Take button. The Take button lights, the effect occurs during the time specified by the duration, and the Take button light turns off.

Implementing a title

To implement a title, do the following:
