  • Page 18 NK==fåíêçÇìÅíáçå System Overview ^=tçêÇ=^Äçìí=i~óÉêë PresentationPRO-II is a three layer system, but because the DVI input is shared between Background and DSK (and only one can be used at a time), the allocation of the layers is still very flexible: Background (DVI)
  • Page 19 A layer is defined as an image display element (such as a background, PIP or Key) with an associated visual priority. The mixer itself has one layer, which can be assigned to either PIP or Key functionality. A typical PresentationPRO-II application is illustrated below. Background (Matte) Wilderness Figure 1-3.
  • Page 20 Example : PIP indicates that you can dissolve a PIP up or down over a background. The PresentationPRO-II system provides one background, one scalable layer, a DSK and a full screen LOGO. The LOGO, DSK and background are always unscaled. Important If the DSK is in use, a live DVI background cannot be used.
  • Page 21 In this effect, the background is configured as a Still Frame, and thus the DSK cannot be used. Here, you can transition a scaled PIP over a captured still frame. Background (Still Frame) ↑↓ Figure 1-8. Effect 5 Diagram PresentationPRO-II • User’s Guide...
