Videonics PowerScript
VIDEO IN Jacks —Connect a video input device (such as a VTR) to either the composite
or Y/C jack.
If you plan to use PowerScript to key titles atop video (using the internal linear
keyer), connect a video source to one of the VIDEO IN jacks—composite or Y/C.
Switching between these jacks occurs automatically. That is, if you plug a device into
the Y/C jack, PowerScript automatically disables the composite jack.
VIDEO OUT Jacks —Connect a video output device (such as a monitor or VTR) to either
the composite or Y/C jack.
The device connected to the VIDEO OUT jack displays finished pages when you play
them. The device does not normally show pages as you create them, nor does it show
menus or the mouse cursor (see PREVIEW OUT below). The exception to this is that
you can use the same monitor as your preview and Video OUT monitor, in which
case menus, the mouse cursor, and work-in-progress does appear on this device (see
"Using PowerScript in Single-Monitor Mode" on page 24 for more information).
PREVIEW OUT —Connect the device you will use for previewing your work, such as a
video monitor. Use only a composite device.
All titles and graphics you create appear on the preview monitor. This monitor dis-
plays the menus, mouse cursor, and work-in-progress.
KEY OUT —For downstream key use.
Use of the KEY OUT jack is optional. A monochrome key signal, provided in compos-
ite video format, is used for downstream key applications in which keying is per-
formed by a switcher. When using this jack, create a connection between the KEY
OUT jack and the switcher's keying input. Character fill is carried by the Video OUT
jack. See "DSK" on page 107 for further information.
