• Auto Flip . When you rotate an image in normal mode, the backside appears upside
down or mirrored. Turning on Auto Flip ensures that the front side of an image is always
presented. This is great for the manipulation of still store and CG text.
• Internal Key Combiner . Squeeze backs can be combined and displayed in a single
keyer. This effectively adds additional keyers to the MLE.
• Key Combiner Priority Control . When several squeeze backs are combined in a single
keyer, you can choose fixed priorities, auto-priority, or intersecting planes. Fixed
priorities allow you to manually set the priority as Channel 1 or Channel 2 on top.
Auto-priority automatically calculates the channel priority based on their relative
positions in 3D space. With the intersecting planes choice, channels will literally cut into
one another, with one channel hiding the portion of the other channel that is behind it.
Pre-Built Effects, User-Built Timelines, and Key Sequences
Squeeze & Tease MD ships with dozens of prebuilt effects that are ready to take to air. More effects
can be downloaded from the Ross Video website. All of these effects can be easily modified to meet
your needs. You can also build entirely new effects of your own from scratch.
Effects can be built to start when a macro button is pressed, when an auto transition is pressed, or can
be run under manual fader control. Effects can be used as a transition, or as a sequence of keyframes
running inside one or more keyers.
Squeeze & Tease MD WARP
Squeeze & Tease MD WARP adds extensive curvilinear effects to an MLE with Squeeze & Tease MD
installed. These effects can be applied to transitions or keys where a planar channel is being used.
WARP effects include Globe, Heart, Lens Flare, Page Roll, Ripple, Split, Star, and many more.
Creative possibilities are endless as WARP effects can be easily combined with preprocessor, planar
transformation, and other effects
Mnemonics Controllers and Displays
This option consists of one or two controller boards, depending on the Synergy control panel you
have, and the actual mnemonics displays. Only one set of controller boards is required to control all
mnemonics across the entire control panel. The displays can be installed for any combination of
MLEs and custom control macro row desired.
Mnemonics are available for each of your MLEs and your Custom Control buttons. Each individual
display is completely modifiable — change the display color, text size, and backlighting to customize
your source names for different applications. When the
Routing Switcher Interface option is
installed, switcher source names are replaced by router source names.
This option is perfect for applications that require different crosspoint names from one production to
another, or when you wish to show only those sources that will be used in that production instead of
all sources connected to the switcher.
XFX Board with MLE-Store, MediaCache, and Dual Border Generator
This option adds an XFX Extra Effects Processor Daughter Card to the Video Processor Board .
Each card adds the Multi-Def MLE-Store and Dual Border Generator options to the selected full
MLE. You need a single XFX Card per full MLE.
Note This option is only available for the Synergy 1.5 , 2 , and 2.5 control
panels.
