For example, with Flip Flop on, the wipe
could be performed from left to right across
the screen the first time, and then right to
left for the second.
5. Press Modify Pattern .
6. Press X/Y Size to adjust the size and position
of the pattern.
•
X — move the pattern horizontally, or
use the positioner.
• Y — move the pattern vertically, or use
the positioner.
7. Press Size/Soft Border to apply a border to
the edge of the wipe transition.
•
Border — adjust the size of the border (0
turns border off).
• Softness — adjust the softness of the
border or edge of the pattern. If there is
no border applied, the softness is applied
to the edges if the pattern.
Tip: You can apply a color or a wash to the border. Press
Border Matte and follow the instructions in Washes on
page 92 or Mattes on page 93.
8. Press H-Mult or V-Mult to apply horizontal
or vertical multiplication to the pattern.
Press the button multiple times to apply up
to 5 times multiplication.
9. Press Aspect to turn the aspect ratio on and
use the Aspect knob to adjust the aspect
ratio of the border.
10. Press Rotation and toggle Rotation on to
apply a rotation to the pattern.
•
Continuous Rotation — apply a
continuous rotation to the pattern. Use
the Speed knob to select the rate at which
the pattern continuously rotates.
Selecting a positive value rotates the
pattern clockwise, and selecting a
negative value rotates the pattern
counter-clockwise.
• Transition Rotation — apply a fixed
number of rotations to the pattern as the
wipe is transitioning. The speed of the
rotation depends on the number of the
amount of rotation and the rate of the
transition. Use the Rotation knob to
select the amount of rotation of the
pattern that occurs during a transition.
Selecting a positive value rotates the
pattern clockwise, and selecting a
negative value rotates the pattern
counter-clockwise.
• User-Controlled Rotation — apply a
fixed amount of rotation to the patter.
Use the Degrees knob to adjust the
rotation of the pattern.
11. Press UP ONE .
12. Press Matrix Tile Size to adjust the size of
the tiles in a matrix pattern. If a matrix
pattern was not used for the wipe, skip this
step.
•
Square — use square tiles in the matrix.
• Tall — use tiles that are taller than wide
in the matrix
• Wide — use tiles that are wider then tall
in the matrix
• Size — select the number of tiles that are
used in the matrix. The available
selection depend on the selected shape
of the tiles.
13. Press UP ONE .
14. Press Wipe Modulation and toggle
Modulation on to apply wipe modulation
to the pattern.
15. Press Animation to animate the ripples ( On ).
Tip: Turning animation off freezes the ripple animation.
16. Press Vertical Params to adjust the ripples
to the left and right of the pattern or
Horizontal Params to adjust the ripples to
the top and bottom of the pattern.
•
Amplitude — adjust the height of the
ripples in the selected directions.
• Wavelength — adjust the width of the
ripples in the selected directions.
• Rate — adjust the speed that the ripples
move in the selected directions.
DVE Wipes
A DVE wipe is based on a sequence that uses a
combination of flying keys and effects to
transition between video signals. For a
Background transition, the video signal on the
Background bus is replaced by the video signal
on the Preset bus according to the sequence.
Only after the transition has completed do the
crosspoint selection flip-flop between the buses.
DVE wipes can either be created from
sequences, or you can use one of the pre-created
sequences and wipes provided with your
switcher software. The sequences and wipes are
