8.2.19 Layer transitions & effects
The
Eikos²
offers a wide variety of transitions between the scenes you create for your shows and events. It
allows for live recall of 8 user presets, each of which you can edit at any given time.

Whether catering for complex event setups, or putting together intricate shows, your
Eikos²

ver some of what you could expect from a dedicated mixer, along with its switcher and scaler capabilities.

Effect in the layer options, press the
ENTER

and press the

8.2.20 Capturing logos
To capture a logo, display the exact content you want to save on the Program or Preview screen, you can use
the freeze button if you want. Then follow these steps:
Logos/Frames menu > Record Logo menu > Set up your logo > Store menu > logo#
To set up your logo you have several features available:
- Position / Size Adjustment
- Keying type
- Luma / Chroma key
- Cut out color.
Select the logo number you want to save and wait until the unit finishes saving. Your logo is now saved and
you can use it through the logo button.
You can save up to 8 logos with the
Eikos²
.
The capture of logos can be done only with the following conditions:
- The capture can be done on the Program output or the Preview output
- The disappearance of logos on the Preview and Program output is normal during saving.
The logos are captured with the same size as is visible on the Program output without any form of adjust-
ments. If zooming is required, resize the layer or use the layer zoom or input zoom.
A logo captures the state of the defined area on the specified output at the Program output resolution, and
must be recalled using the same output resolution. Resizing or other image manipulation of the captured
logo is not possible.
The capture zone is outlined by a white rectangle and includes the pixels beneath the white border. The non-
captured area has a reduced brightness.
