12–2 • Squeeze & Tease MD Basic Operation Synergy 100 MD Operator’s Manual (v7.2 MD-S100)
Operational Overview
Squeeze & Tease MD operates by manipulating Keys in 3 dimensional space. This allows you to
position Keys in front of or behind other Keys, and make Keys appear larger or smaller than they are,
apply environmental effects to the Keys such as lighting, or apply video manipulation effects such as
colorization. To apply any of the Squeeze & Tease MD effects to a Key, you must have the
FLY KEY
button in the Effects Keyer Group on. This tells the switcher to assign some of the Squeeze & Tease
MD resources to the selected Keyer. When Squeeze & Tease MD resources are applied to a Keyer, the
selected Key type (
Self Key , Auto Select , Chroma Key or PST PATT ) is said to be Flying . You can
fly any type of Key, provided you have the available Squeeze & Tease channel resources to assign to
the Keyer. Refer to the section “
3D Guidelines ” on page 12–16 for more information on Flying Keys.
When you fly a Key, the video signal for that Key is contained in a channel. By positioning or
rotating, or applying other linear, environmental, or color effects to the channel, you are defining how
you want the switcher to display the video signal for that flying Key.
Channel Overview
The channel can be positioned anywhere in the virtual 3D world; however, it will only be visible on
screen of it is within the Visible Area. This allows you to perform transition effects where the channel
appears to fly in from one side. The channel is being taken from a position outside of the Visible Area
into the Visible Area.
