Terms and Definition
Auxiliary Screen or Aux
: A specific Screen composed of a single scaled output with a format up to 4K@60.
Aux Screens consume zero processing resources. The content displayed can be an input, an image or a
Screen’s P
rogram.
Background
: Input or Image source displayed behind all other layers. The background consumes zero
processing resources and can display unscaled content on the whole screen.
Capacity
: Unit used in the WebRCS to ensure inter-operability between all the internal elements of a
LivePremier unit. One level of capacity refers to Dual-Link bandwidth 2560x1600@60.
Cut & Fill
: Feature that allows a layer to be displayed with perfect keying to give it a specific shape. One
content is used to cut another content in the same layer (via Luma keying).
Hard edge
: Technology used to display continuous content using multiple outputs without any covering area.
The outputs are “side by side”, they do
not overlap or share pixel information. (Opposed to
Soft Edge
where
some parts of the image are overlapping while projected on multiple displays.)
Image
: Englobes all non-animated images. Images are imported through the WebRCS and used as content in
layers.
Keying
: Electronic process where a video image is electronically superimposed over another source by
dynamically removing a portion of the first image. For example, removing all content of a certain color (such
as green or blue) is called
Chroma Key
and removing content based on its luminance levels is called
Luma
Key
. Keying is typically used for titles, logos and special effects.
Layer
: Item displaying one content (Live inputs, Image or Screen Program). Layers can overlap, depending on
their visual priority. Layers can be repositioned, resized, displayed with borders, etc.
Multiviewer:
Dedicated output used to monitor content in widgets. LivePremier units have two 4K
Multiviewer outputs, each one able to display up to 24 widgets.
Picture in Picture (PIP)
: Often used as a synonym to layer. Displaying a content over another content.
Preview (PRW)
: The content in Preview is not displayed on output Screens. All Preview screens replace their
corresponding Program screens during transition (or Take). Preview Screens are meant to load layers and
content before transitioning to Program.
Program (PGM)
: The content in Program shows what is currently displayed on Screens. It is possible to make
changes directly in the Program screens (drag and drop content in layers, layer size and position, etc.). It is
also possible to lock the Program screens to only edit the Preview screens.
Screen
: Destination where the picture will be displayed. For example, a single display or a projection surface
which can be composed of one or multiple outputs. Each screen is composed with of one or multiple layers.
Soft edge blending
: Technology used to compensate for the covering area when two (or more) video
projectors are combined to display a continuous content across one screen. The resulting image will appear
as a single unified picture.
WebRCS
: User interface to setup and operate the LivePremier. It is a web browser based Remote Control
Software designed by Analog Way.
Widget
: Multiviewer item displaying one content (Input, Image, Timer, Preview or Program Screen). Similar
to a Layer but without visual priority, widgets are displayed on same level and cannot overlap.
