1. Select a positionable pattern, such as pattern 6, by keying 6 into the numeric
keypad and pressing PATT. Make sure the EFFECTS lever is set to WIPE,
and move the effects lever up to bring in a square pattern. The pattern will
first appear in the center of the screen, and can be repositioned with the
joystick. If you want the pattern to appear at the joystick position instead of
centered, use 7/COMM/-.
2. Adjust the SYMM control to vary the pattern's symmetry, and adjust the
BORDER control to add a border. The border color can be seen in the display
by pressing COLORS twice. The first push will light the button to indicate
that the three knobs are being used to adjust colors and will show the BGR
color in the display. Subsequent pushes will show the BDR and DSK colors.
With the border color in the display, try adjusting HUE, SAT, and LUM with
the SYMM, BORDER and CLIP knobs. To stop adjusting colors, press the
COLORS button until the light goes out, or simply adjust any other control on
the panel. (For instance, press CLEAR.)
3. In NORMAL mode, the bordered pattern will appear first as a small square
and grow to fill the screen if the REVERSE button is dark. Pressing the
REVERSE button will cycle through:
N/R :1
Normal/Reverse alternate
N :2
Normal; Square pattern appears small and grows
R :3
Reverse; Square pattern appears large and shrinks
The Reverse mode will cause the button to be illuminated. Note that when
programming panel setups, leaving this button in one position (say, N/R)
will make setup recall more predictable.
4. Remove the border and use the SOFT button to soften the edges of the wipe.
The button will illuminate to indicate that softness is enabled. Adjust the
softness of the wipe using the + & - buttons. A lower number will make a
softer wipe.
The MVS3 has a unique feature to minimize wipe deadband. Other switchers will exhibit
wipe lever deadbands of up to 50% with some types of wipes such as repositioned square
and circle wipes. The MVS3's computer looks at pattern, border, soft, and position
settings and recalculates the wipe lever travel correction each frame. Deadband is
typically 10% or less.
