SEQUENCING 
 

Sequencing is the function of performing live transitions between pre-stored key frames.  You 
may program and initiate key frame sequences based on the 10 available key frame registers (00 
through 09).   

 

Some common uses of sequencing include: transitioning from a full screen image to a 
compressed image for an “over-the-shoulder” shot; or from a full screen to a compressed image 
to reveal a scroll on-screen (stock tickers, school closings, news tickers, weather alerts); or from 
compressed image to compressed image for on-screen special effects.  The uses of sequencing 
are limited only by your imagination.  Sequences can include borders with transitioning colors, 
aspect ratio changes, position changes, size changes; they can also be reversed, paused, looped or 
continued. 
 

 

GPI MODES 

 

FTB OFF:

  Will cause image to fade from black when a GPI pulse is received. 
 

FTB ON:

  Will cause the image to fade to black when a GPI pulse is received. 

 

FTB TOGGLE:

  Will cause the image to fade to black on the first receipt of a GPI pulse; and 

fade from black on the second receipt of a GPI pulse 

 

FTB FOLLOW:

  Will cause the image to fade to black and remain there while the GPI signal is 

LOW (0.0 to 0.4 VDC); the image will immediately fade from black when the GPI signal returns 
high (4.0 to 5.0 VDC). 
 

MIX OFF:

 Will cause image to mix in (background with insert video) when a GPI pulse is 

received. 
 

MIX ON:

  Will cause the image to mix out (background video only) when a GPI pulse is 

received. 

 

MIX TOGGLE:

  Will cause the image to mix out on the first receipt of a GPI pulse; and mix in 

on the second receipt of a GPI pulse.
