Event Master Toolset (EMTS)
Event Master Toolset Software is an easy to use GUI running on Windows, MAC, or Linux. It provides all the
Event Master Series of product with control and configuration.
The software consists of several menus and tabs that enable you to configure your system, setup the input
sources and output destinations, manage the dedicated multiviewer and create your presentation's overall
"look".
In addition, since the configuration parameters and presets are stored on the Event Master processor unit,
multiple instances of the GUI can be run simultaneously on different computers expanding the control
possibilities.
Refer to the chapter "EM GUI orientation", page 65 for more information about the GUI. Subsequently in this
User's Guide, the Event Master Control Software will be referred as the EM GUI.

3.6 Presentation System overview

Advanced video processing
The Event Master processors are the most advanced video processing and presentation control systems on
the market today. These systems provide source selection, windowing, seamless switching, video effects and
integrated control for professional presentations. The modular and scalable architecture of the Event Master
processors allow support for a wide variety of show configurations.
A word about Layers
A layer is an image display element stacked on top of another or a background. Within the Event Master
processor, each mixer has two layers, A and B, and one Background layer. For complete flexibility, each
layer can be assigned to either PIP or Key functionality.
The Background layer has the lowest priority. Any still store or matte can be used as a background. This layer
visually appears behind all other PIPs and keys. The system can transition between two background sources.
PIP layer appears over backgrounds and under other layers of higher priority. PIP effects include mixes,
smooth moves, resizing, and adjustable aspect ratio.
Key layer also appears over backgrounds and under other layers of higher priority. Key effects include
luminance keys, invert keys, and chroma keys.
