Lightning 1000 Installation Guide

Welcome to Lightning

Pinnacle’s Lightning is an advanced still store that allows you to record and
play stills, organize them into sequences, create transitions between
channels (from the “Preview” channel to the “Air” channel), and create
basic 

layouts with your stills. You can also create your own transitions using

third party plug-ins.

Note

For convenience and speed, the 

Lightning Operator’s Manual is

provided as an online help file instead of a printed document. Please
refer to the online manual for information on how to operate Lightning
with the keyboard and mouse. In addition, please refer to the 

Lightning

ShotBox Tutorial for information on operating Lightning from the
optional ShotBox.

The following sections briefly review Lightning’s features and functions.
