PATTERN/KEY PAD

The DFS-700/700P has more than 450 built-in effect patterns provided as standard.

Each pattern is identified by a number, and the patterns are grouped together under headings such as “wipe” and “picture-in-picture”.

Transition effects and animation effects

Effects are broadly divided into transition effects and animation effects. Transition effects: in these effects the background image is completely

replaced by the foreground image. When the effect completes, the colors in which the BACKGROUND and FOREGROUND bus buttons are lit become the reverse of those before the effect.

Chapter 3 Basic Operation

AUXILIARY buttons

To select the signal to be output to the auxiliary bus, press the desired AUXILIARY button (BLACK, 1 to 8, MEMORY, or INT VIDEO), turning it on.

To specify the function for which the selected signal is used, press one of the delegation buttons, turning it on.

CCR button: use for color correction.

TITLE 1 SOURCE button: use as the key source signal for title key 1.

TITLE 2 SOURCE button: use as the key source signal for title key 2.

DSK FILL button: use as key fill for the downstream keyer.

SUPER BG button: use as background for 3D effects, two-channel DME effects and so on.

FRGD 2 button: use as the second foreground channel for 3D effects, two-channel DME effects and so on.

MEMORY button: capture in frame memory.

Animation effects: in these effects, for example, the foreground image is inserted in the background image, and moved around. The foreground image does not completely replace the background image, and the colors in which the BACKGROUND and FOREGROUND bus buttons are lit stay the same.

For the differences between transition and animation effects, see the section “Background Image and Foreground Image” (page 3-12).

Modifications to effects

Depending on the effect pattern, the following modifications can be added.

•You can add a border to the boundary between the background image and foreground image, or blur the boundary.

•You can change the pattern position and size.

For details of the modifications that can be applied to the effect patterns, see the section “Effect Pattern Variant Forms and Decorations” (page A-22).

•You can change a pattern by changing its parameters. (Effects which can be changed by setting parameters are referred to as “user modifiable effects”.)
