The following terms and definitions are used throughout this guide:
•
A “ Background ” is an unscaled source (typically originating from a computer’s
multi-head graphics card), or a frame grab from a scaled source. Encore provides
two background sources (
BG A and BG B ), each of which appears at the
system’s lowest priority — visually in back or underneath all other sources.
•
A “ Destination ” is a location to which you can route the output of Encore. A
destination can be configured as:
~
a single screen (one projector)
~
multiple screens (such as a wide screen application)
~
an “ Aux ” destination (such as a monitor, a PresentationPRO-II or an
ImagePRO system)
~
an external processor (such as a ScreenPRO-II )
•
A “ Key ” is an electronic (and visual) process whereby one image is electronically
superimposed over another source or background. Keys are typically used for
titles, logos, and banners.
•
A “ Layer ” is an image display element (such as a PIP, Key or Background) that
has an associated visual priority — either in front (or in back) of another layer.
•
A “ Mixer ” is the electronic circuitry that enables you to transition (and scale) PIPs
and Keys over a background.
•
“ M/E ” (Mix/Effects) is synonymous with “ mixer .” Each Encore M/E is capable of
layering either two PIPs, two keys, or one of each.
~
When discussing system hardware, the term “ M/E ” will be used to
describe the Processor’s physical input boards.
