Section 10.3 Overlays; Configuring Transitions - Panasonic AV-HLC100E Operating Instructions Manual

The Duration menu for the Background transition offers two additional options:
• Reverse – configures the current transition to run in reverse direction the next time it is applied.
Ping Pong – when enabled, this option causes the direction of the transition to be automatically
•
swapped after each time it is applied.
Two Overlay layer controls labeled PiP and Titles occupy the right-most, area of the Switcher control
area.
FIGURE 59
The Overlay images shown here (Figure 59) are actually live video viewports showing the current video
layer for the different modules. Clicking this live viewport will hide or display the layer, using the transition
effect represented by the icon and label below (a progress meter shown behind the transition label
informs you of the current visibility state of the layer).
Each Overlay layer has its own transition effect. Similar to the Transition mode controls for the Switcher,
click the transition icon below an Overlay viewport to reveal a transition preset bin. Click an entry in the
palette to select it, or move the mouse pointer to the "+" sign that pops up for each icon and click to open
AV-HLC100's Media Browser.
In the Media Browser, you can choose from the hundreds of transition effects included with AV-HLC100,
including colorful Animation Store effects (the Media Browser is discussed in Section 11.1.3). The
selected effect will replace the current one in the preset bin.
Hint: The direction of Transitions applied as Overlay layer effects automatically alternates. If the first
click displays the layer using an effect, the next click removes it using the reverse effect. This 'Ping
Pong' behavior is optional for Background layer transitions.
