System Overview
• On a triple mixer system, up to six inputs can be scaled to produce PIP or Key
images that can be transitioned independently or in pairs.
• Between mixers, the hierarchy of priorities is easy:

~ The Background layer is always at the bottom.
~ All effects on Mixer 1 are visually in front of the background.
~ All effects on Mixer 2 are in front of Mixer 1.
~ All effects on Mixer 3 are in front of Mixers 1 and 2.
~ The DSK is visually in front of Mixers 1, 2, 3 and background.

The Encore Presentation System offers complete flexibility with regard to destinations.
Examples of each destination “type” are listed below:
• Single Screen Destination — this is a “single projector” destination that takes its
input from a Video Processor.
• Wide Screen Destination — this is a “multiple projector” destination that takes its
inputs from two (or more) Video Processors.
• ScreenPRO-II Destination — this is a standalone ScreenPRO-II that takes its
inputs either via direct connections or via routers. When the ScreenPRO-II output
is connected to a “side” projector (or monitor), its “look” can be controlled from the
Encore Controller as a unique destination.
• Aux Destination — this is a monitor that takes its input from a router output (in a
single format). When you select an Aux destination and a source on the
Controller, you are talking directly to a router output via RS-232 or Ethernet
communications — and making the selected source-to-destination connection.
• ImagePRO Aux Destination — this is an ImagePRO that takes its input(s) from
multiple routers in multiple formats. When connected to a monitor or projector, a
scaled signal is provided in one format. Whereas an Aux Destination’s input is
single format, an ImagePRO Aux Destination’s input is multi-format.
• PresentationPRO-II Aux Destination — this is a PresentationPRO-II that takes
its input(s) from up to two routers — one analog and one SDI. When connected to
a single monitor or projector, a scaled signal is provided in one format. The
transition “type” between sources (e.g., cut, dissolve) is selected on the
PresentationPRO-II itself.
