How the CG-8 is organized
Before you actually begin operating the CG-8, please read this section to become
familiar with how it is organized.
When you're ready for more detail, refer to "Learning more about the CG-8" (p. 45).
Images
To generate a video image on the CG-8, you select "patches," which are the minimum
unit of video data. There are two kinds of patches; Photo Patches produce the
background image, and Stamp Patches are superimposed on this background.

Photo Patches and Stamp Patches each consist of a "picture" (image) and an "effect"
for the photo or stamp.

In addition, each effect can apply change or movement to the picture. You can also
create a variety of visual effects by controlling the location and movement parameters.
You can also use controllers such as the XY pad and D Beam to control the image in real
time.
