Operational Configuration iççâ~ÜÉ~Ç=mêÉîáÉï Eagle 200 uses a “lookahead” preview system that ensures the accuracy of all your transitions. The “look” or appearance that you create on your Preview monitor represents the exact appearance of your Program screen — after you cut, mix or wipe the images to program.
Page 131
6. Operations Operational Configuration råÇÉêëí~åÇáåÖ=o~ëíÉê=_çñÉë With Eagle 200, Raster Boxes are always enabled on Preview, each PIP or Key is surrounded by a thin border that helps you identify the PIP or Key’s original layer. • The PIP or Key with a red “corner” style raster box is Layer A .
If you select a layer in the Layer Control Section that is lit (but not blinking), it will blink — and the corresponding “assigned” source on the Source Selection Bus will blink. This method also allows you to quickly verify layer/source selections. Eagle 200 • User’s Guide...
Page 133
The similar situation is true for BG B . • If BG A is on Program and BG B is selected in Preview, BG A will transition to BG B on the next CUT , WIPE or MIX . Eagle 200 • User’s Guide...
6. Operations Working with Layers råÇÉêëí~åÇáåÖ=péäáí=~åÇ=jáñ=jçÇÉë Eagle 200 provides two different modes with which you can transition PIPs and Keys: • Split Mode • Mix Mode péäáí=jçÇÉ With the Split Layer button lit, the mixer’s two layers operate independently . You can size,...
Page 135
In the Mixer Functions Section , ensure that the PIP button is lit and the PIP Adjustment Menu is visible. If the menu is not visible, press PIP . Note Even if the layer is on Program, the PIP Adjustment Menu appears, but parameters can not be adjusted. Eagle 200 • User’s Guide...

Prior to the transition, if you want to clear additional layers from Preview, repeat steps 2 and 3 . Transition the new "look" to program with a MIX , WIPE or CUT . The selected layer(s) will transition off of Program. Eagle 200 • User’s Guide...
In the Mixer Functions Section , press Swap Z-Order . The visual priority (on Preview) of the two layers changes. Note that the layers remain at their current locations — only the priority changes. Transition the new "look" to program with a MIX , WIPE or CUT . Eagle 200 • User’s Guide...

Ensure that Freeze is off. Frozen PIPs or Keys cannot be reset. If required, access the "menu" whose specific function you want to reset (e.g., borders, shadows, special effect, size, etc). In the Mixer Functions Section , press Reset to reset the current effect. Eagle 200 • User’s Guide...
Page 143
Transition the LOGO to Program with a MIX , WIPE or CUT . A transition to black will occur. Note After a transition, the LOGO layer is automatically cleared from Preview. In this way the next transition will always fade up from black to your previous setup. Eagle 200 • User’s Guide...
• Move Notes mêçÖê~ããáåÖ=jçîÉë Eagle 200 enables you to move a PIP or a key smoothly from one screen location to another at a predefined rate, while the layer is on-air. All moves are two-keyframe effects, Move with a starting location and an ending (destination) location.
To move the layer back to keyframe 1, press Move . The button lights and on Preview, the raster box blinks at the "starting" location. Perform a MIX , CUT or WIPE . In this "ping-pong" manner, you can continue to transit back and forth between keyframes 1 and 2. Eagle 200 • User’s Guide...
Page 146
— To clear a move (and remove the association between a layer and a move), press Move Setup twice. • On screen, off screen — Eagle 200 enables you to move a PIP or Key from an offscreen location to an onscreen location, and vice-versa. • Switching modes —...
Adjust the Transition Rate field for the desired rate, in 0.1 second increments. Adjust the Transition Wipe field for the desired wipe pattern. Adjust the Transition Edge field for the desired wipe edge. In the Transition Section , press WIPE to wipe the setup to Program. Eagle 200 • User’s Guide...
Modifying Layers On Program jçÇáÑóáåÖ=i~óÉêë=lå=mêçÖê~ã The Eagle 200 system enables you to modify layers directly on Program, without first setting up a "look" on Preview. The mode is typically used for creating and viewing a "look" on Program, especially in conjunction with a large screen projector — when the Preview monitor may be too small to realize the desired result.
Saving Still Frames in Permanent Memory píáää=cê~ãÉ=`~éíìêÉ=lîÉêîáÉï Eagle 200 enables you to capture still frames into the system’s three internal frame stores, using the system’s BG A or BG/DSK B inputs as full screen sources, or using a layer as a full screen source.
Page 150
Captured stills reside in temporary memory. If the system is powered down or reset, the stills will be lost. To save stills in permanent memory, refer to the " Saving Still Frames in Permanent Memory " section on page 139. Eagle 200 • User’s Guide...
Press NO to cancel the procedure. If required, press { DELETE } to delete the selected frame from permanent storage. This button only appears when frames are stored in permanent memory. Eagle 200 • User’s Guide...

Setting Unique Eagle 200 IDs ” section on page 176. pÉííáåÖ=råáèìÉ=b~ÖäÉ=OMM=faë On each Eagle 200 unit, the Remote Control Menu is used to set the Eagle 200 unit ID, and enable/disable remote control itself. Note Ensure that you know the unit IDs that are currently in use by the Encore (or Eagle 200) Controller’s system.
Use the following steps to enable Eagle 200 remote control: On the Eagle 200 unit, press { HOME } > { REMOTE CONTROL } to access the Remote Control Menu . Scroll to the Remote Control line, and turn it ON .
Page 189
Use the following steps to download code from the Controller to all connected Eagle 200 units: On the Encore or Eagle 200 Controller console, press SYSTEM > { SW VER } to display the Software Version Menu . Press { DOWNLOAD CODE } to begin the download process immediately. The entire process takes several minutes to complete.
Scroll to the Type line and select Single Screen SP . Scroll to the SP to Add line and select the Eagle 200 ID that you wish to add. Press { ADD }. (Optional) If you need to remove an ID from a selected destination, scroll to the SP to Remove line and press { REMOVE }.
This procedure is not required if you are using “ Internal ” source routing on your Eagle 200 units. Use the following procedure to set up the routers that are connected to the Eagle 200 units: On the Encore or Eagle 200 Controller console, press SYSTEM > { ROUTER SETUP } to display the Router Specification Menu .

10. Repeat the procedure from step 2 to set up each router that is connected to the Eagle 200 units. Please continue with the “ Output Patching ” section on page 181. Eagle 200 • User’s Guide...
Scroll to the Router Output line and select the specific router output number that you want to patch. Scroll to the SP ID line and select the physical Eagle 200 ID to which the Router’s output is connected. Scroll to the SP Input line and select the physical Eagle 200 input to which the router’s output is connected.
Use the following procedure to set up each router’s input patching. On the Encore or Eagle 200 Controller console, press SYSTEM > { INPUT PATCH } to display the Input Patch Menu , a sample of which is shown below:...
(internal) router inputs are fed by DAs, select ALL SPs to patch a selected input for all Eagle 200 units simultaneously. For example, if the same VTR feeds input 1 on four Eagle 200 units (via DAs), selecting ALL SPs for the Connection Type saves patching time, and conserves input buttons on the Controller itself.
Page 196
Use the following steps to reestablish local Eagle 200 control: On the Eagle 200 Remote Control Menu , scroll to the Remote Control line turn it OFF . The { HOME } buttons reappears, the Eagle 200 front panel is re-enabled, and all control now originates locally.
