Using Freeze Effect with Multi-PIPs

Procedure
To create a Multi-PIP image such as the one shown above:
1
Assume the image of Kong originates on input source A. Press CUT/A to make
source A the CURRENT source. It serves as the primary input.
If you want, instead, to make the background a solid color, press CUT/COLOR.
See "Using Color Backgrounds" on page 43 to learn how to select colors.
2 Assume the graphic of the word "Kong" originates on input C. Press NEXT/C to
make source C the NEXT source. It serves as secondary input.
3
Press SHIFT+PIPs to enter Multi-PIP mode. The Preview screen defaults to show
configuration 1 (two horizontal tiles). One of the tiles has a flashing border to
indicate it is the current tile. One tile shows the primary input – Kong's head.
4
If this is the Multi-PIP configuration you want to use, move on to the next step:
otherwise...
a Press the number on the keyboard that corresponds to the PIP configuration
you want to use. (See Table 12, Multi-PIP Screen Configurations, at the begin-
ning of this section.) MXPro displays the configuration on the Preview screen.
5
Use the ARROW keys to move the flashing border to a tile where you want to dis-
play the secondary input source: or, press SHIFT+ARROW KEY to move to the
beginning or end of a row or column.
6 Press NEXT/C. Channel C, in this example, carries the video of the graphic word
"Kong." That image appears in the tile you selected in the preceding step.
7
Repeat the two preceding steps for any other tile or tiles you want to carry the
secondary input signal.
You can direct any input signal (primary or secondary) to any tile.
8
When the Preview screen looks the way you want, press PLAY to cut to the
Multi-PIP on the output; or use the T-BAR to fade the Multi-PIP to the output.
9 Press SHIFT+PIPs to return to the Preview screen.
You can apply the Freeze effect (see "Freeze" on page 83) to any Multi-PIP tile.
Procedure
To use the Freeze effect with Multi-PIPs:
1
Use the ARROW keys to select a Multi-PIP tile.
2 Press FREEZE.
3 Press FREEZE again to release the effect.
