To set up your logo you have several features available:

- Posion / Size Adjustment

- Keying type

- Luma / Chroma key

- Cut out color.

Select the logo number you want to save and wait unl the unit nishes saving. Your logo is now saved and

you can use it through the logo buon.

You can save up to 8 logos with the SmartMatriX².

The capture of logos can be done only with the following condions:

- The capture can be done on the Program output #1 or the Program output #2

- The disappearance of logos on the Preview and Program output is normal during saving.

The logos are captured with the same size as is visible on the Program output without any form of adjust-

ments. If zooming is required, resize the layer or use the layer zoom or input zoom.

A logo captures the state of the dened area on the specied output at the Program output resoluon, and

must be recalled using the same output resoluon. Resizing or other image manipulaon of the captured

logo is not possible.

The capture zone is outlined by a white rectangle and includes the pixels beneath the white border. The non-

captured area has a reduced brightness.

Logo capture is limited in the number of pixels being captured. When the logo capture area is resized, exten-

ding the horizontal size may reduce the vercal size to compensate.

Logos can also be captured and displayed with transparent areas. By adjusng the keyer in the logo capture

menu, the porons of the captured area can be keyed away and captured as transparent.

The logo “Cut out color” can help display which porons of the image will be captured as tranparent.

NOTES:

• The cut out color is only a visual tool to help idenfy the transparent areas of the logo. These colored re-

gions will not be captured but later displayed as transparent area.
