More Features

Hard Drive Storage The Dveous/MX comes with a hard drive for storing
effects, JPEG files and engineering setup files.
Storage and Recall The Dveous/MX Control Panel has a high resolution
graphics display and a 3.5" high density (1.44MB) MS-DOS format floppy disk

drive. You can use the floppy drive as well as the hard drive to store and recall
effects, JPEG files and engineering setup files.
External Devices Dveous/MX can control external switcher aux buses with
frame accurate on-edge switching. Serial interfaces let external devices, such as a Index
switcher or edit controller, control Dveous/MX. There are also 12 user config-
urable GPI (General Purpose Interface) inputs and 12 GPI tally outputs.
Memory Battery backed up memory lets you store 100 effects on-line, using a Contents
pool of over 1700 keyframes. The maximum number of keyframes per effect is
300.
Picture Transforms Picture transform flexibility controls include 2D and 3D
positioning and rotation, size, aspect, skew, and perspective in Source, Target,
and Global space. There are six different motion path types that you can assign
to parameters on a keyframe basis.
Creative Power T ools Dveous/MX comes standard with such powerful fea-
tures like corner pinning, SuperMatte backgrounds, a full selection of warp
shapes and realistic 3D lighting. The light source feature is a true 3D model that
lets you add a light effect to either or both channels. Textures work with the
light source feature: Dveous/MX can modify the light source based on the tex-
ture signal, making true shading and highlights possible throughout a transfor-
mation. Textures also work with some warps to let you create, for example,
textured warps. You can use a live video source for the texture, a image from the
Pattern Framestore, a stored JPEG file or the output of the Defocus module.
Target Framestore Target Framestore effects include trails with variable decay
(with either video or a matte fill), sparkles with variable size and intensity,
motion blur, and montage (drop-ins) with selectable priority for live video over
or under existing drop-ins. This feature is based on Z, or depth information, let-
ting you move live images in front of or behind the stored images automatically.
