8.3.8 Working with presets in Matrix mode
The
Eikos²
has 4 scalers, to understand how your effect will be performed, you need to know how many
scalers are used on your outputs. Don’t forget that you always need one free scaler to perform seamless
transitions.
Example:
1 layer on each output > 2 scalers used > 2 seamless transitions
2 layers on each output > 4 scalers used > no seamless transition (ie: fade through black)
The frame and the logos are not considered as live layers and are not counted as using a scaler.
