Wipes Using a BKDS-7370 Board

This section describes the setting operations for carrying out wipes when the
BKDS-7370 Advanced Wipe Board is installed.

Overview

A wipe is a transition in which the old video is replaced by the new video
according to the progressively changing shape of a wipe pattern.
A wipe which forms a transition between two backgrounds is called a
background wipe, and a wipe which inserts or removes a key is called a key
wipe.
Wipe patterns
You can select a wipe pattern from the selection displayed in a menu.
The direction in which a wipe proceeds is indicated by the pattern: at an
intermediate stage of the transition, the white portion represents the old
video, and the black portion the new video. Alternatively, arrows indicate
the direction in which some wipe patterns change. (See the Appendix "Wipe
Patterns" (page A-2)).
The wipe patterns may be grouped together under the headings below.
Standard wipes: Patterns built from horizontal, vertical, and diagonal
straight lines.
Enhanced wipes: Patterns including circles, stars, hearts, and round corners.
Rotary wipes: Patters for wipes rotating in the arrow direction about a
particular point in the image.
Mosaic wipes: Patterns which break the image into small tiles.
Random/dust wipes: Random mosaic patterns, and diamond dust patterns.
