How to use 2D/3D DVE via Automation
In normal Imagestore operation the 2D/3D DVE is not in circuit and the DVE
mode is set to none (0). DVE none adds a one frame of video/audio delay so
that when the DVE is switched in and out of circuit there is no jump in the
video.
Before switching the 2D/3D DVE in circuit, it is often required to start on
full screen A. The best way to do this is to make sure all sequences start on
full screen A. The automation command W2 (load and run) with certain
parameters can be used to load the first key frame of a sequence without
running it. This has affect of queuing it up ready to run.
Some warp sequences have a two frame setup delay, so the use of queuing up
a move is essential when using warp moves. When the move is queued up,
you can then switch the DVE in circuit, and run the sequence.
Example use:
W100: Set 2D/3D DVE to mode none (out of circuit but with delay).
W2603E7: Load the first key frame of sequence number 96.
W104: Switch 2D/3D DVE in circuit.
W7001: Run the sequence currently loaded at the speed it was designed
at. (Note that use of W7 is recommended instead of W2).
Wait for DVE sequence to finish.
W100 Set 2D/3D DVE to mode none when the sequence has finished.
