Manual Conventions
Control Panel keys are called "buttons" to avoid confusion with the video
keying process.
Names of Control Panel buttons appear in bold capital letters: the 3D
TRANS button, the RUN button, etc.
Menu names are capitalized: the Warp menu, the Input menu, etc.
Menu functions are noted in bold upper and lower case italicized letters: the
Locate function, or simply Locate .
Names of function parameters are noted in bold upper and lower case let-
ters: H Loc . or Z Rot. If a parameter can only be changed by turning its
associated softknob, it is noted by the parameter name and the word "soft-
knob": the Loop softknob. Otherwise, softknobs appear in left to right
order as softknob A, softknob B, softknob C, and softknob D.
"Select" means to highlight a menu item for use by pressing or toggling its
menu softkey.
A sequence of button presses is noted by long dashes (—) separating the but-
tons: MODIFY — ALL — ENTER . Holding one button down and press-
ing another appears with a plus (+). For example, holding CLEAR and
pressing the 3D TRANS button appears as CLEAR + 3D TRANS .
Depending on your input and channel configurations, a channel can process
a video signal, a key signal or a drop shadow. This manual uses the word
image generically to indicate the channel's source (video, key, or shadow).
