Section 4: Operation
4.1 Overview
Spyder is a video processing and windowing system designed by Vista Systems
specifically to offer an uncompromising solution for Windowing, Compositing and
Widescreen display applications. Spyder uses a new advanced architecture that creates
one or more virtual displays (or pixel spaces) up to 6 million pixels in size. Multiple
windows can be placed, tiled, mixed and keyed anywhere within the virtual display.
Using key frames, all windows can be moved individually or simultaneously within the
virtual display using a variety of motion effects and controls such as speed control, z-
order, acceleration and deceleration. Windows can also have borders and drop shadows
each of which have adjustable color, border width, softness, shadow offset and
transparency.
The Spyder uses a soft power scheme. Pressing the Standby switch initiates a power up
cycle and after a short boot time the front panel display will indicate operational status.
Pressing the Standby switch again initiates the power down cycle after which the unit
enters standby mode. There is a hard power switch on the rear that should be used only
when Spyder is in the standby state (Standby Switch LED is off).
The user should avoid disconnecting the primary power source (AC input)
until the unit is in standby mode. Failure to do this could result in hard drive
data corruption.
