“shot box”, where you can select from 40 of these 100 pre-built planar and warp transitions.
The other 60 transitions can be loaded from the keypad.
These 100 transitions can be loaded from a floppy disk (supplied by Ross) containing 80 pre-
programmed transitions and effects. Other wipes and transitions will be available by
download from our web site. You can then modify these or you can create your own!
Either backgrounds or keys can be transitioned and, if a key is already being manipulated by
Squeeze & Tease WARP, the transition effect is added “on top” for the duration of the
transition. You can even create sequences that transform a key in a keyer under manual
fader control!
Dual Border Generator S2-x41
This option provides dynamic border, shadow, and outline effects to both keyers in an MLE
with either hard or “glowing” edges. You can then move the border to any position on the
screen - even above the key. Borders are “flown” in real time with the joystick in the same
manner as wipe patterns and DVE effects. This border generator was designed as a creative
tool and it can add an impressive visual impact to your keys.
All border edge effects can be modified through the parameters of x and y position, border
size, border color (including color washes), density, and glow (giving a soft defocused look).
The border generator can enhance any kind of switcher key including self keys, linear keys,
chroma keys, and preset pattern keys. In Synergy, borders are particularly effective for
enhancing Squeeze & Tease over the shoulder boxes making them appear to “float” over
their backgrounds.
Timed Aux Bus S2-051
Untimed Aux Buses will follow the timing of the input sources or re-entries with a short
additional processing delay. Re-entries will have progressively larger delays depending upon
where they are in the cascade (i.e. MLE 2 will have more delay than MLE 1). You may,
therefore, wish to time some (or all) of your Aux Buses.
Timed Aux Buses will ensure that all “synchronous” sources will have stable timing relative
to the switcher’s program output. This greatly simplifies D-A conversion and system timing
design. A “synchronous” source is defined as one within +/- one-quarter line of the switcher
reference. Sources outside of this timing window will remain horizontally locked but may be
shifted vertically.
Dedicated Remote Aux Panel S2-052A
(includes 10 meter cable)
One set of pushbuttons on the main control panel is shared among all 12 Aux Buses
through assignment buttons. When control of any single Aux Bus is needed either for
permanent direct access or for a remote location, a dedicated remote aux panel is required.
A remote panel is a self-contained unit that has its own power supply. It is designed to be
mounted in a 19-inch rack and fills 1 RU. Pushbuttons on the remote panel allow direct
access to 17 source buttons, DVE send, the MLE outputs, and clean feed. A shift button
can be used to access any remaining inputs. The remote panel is connected to the switcher’s
control panel via a single six conductor Telco control cable. It can also loop through
