Section 1 — System Overview Functional Description General Overview Figure 1-3 shows a simple video flow diagram for the Model 2200. Video and key signals enter the input modules of the Model 2200, which consist of component analog and/or component serial digital formats. The analog signals are converted to digital format, and all inputs are timed and conditioned. The digital signals are then passed to the Video and Effects Section where keying and mixing take place.
PAGE 27
Functional Description Each M/E has two keyers and two background buses (A and B) as inputs. In standard mode, Keyers 1 and 2 can be mixed into a composite video and key which can be forwarded to the output, or M/E 1 can be reentered into M/E 2. In layered mode, Background Buses A and B are also used as keyers. Preview capability allows monitoring of sources at many points in the signal flow. You can preview video from the M/E mixers, switched preview bus, or mask bus. Eight GPI inputs are provided.

Section 2— Control Panel Descriptions Source Selection The Source Select portion of the control panel consists of Primary source select buttons, Secondary (re-entry) source select buttons, SHIFT buttons, and Key Bus delegation and uncalibrated indicators. (Figure 2-2.) Each vertical column of buttons has the same input; each horizontal row is an output. An input is put on an output by pressing the button on that output row that has the required input.
PAGE 37
Source Selection All buttons in the Source Select region have three levels of illumination: ■ OFF indicates not selected; ■ DIM or “low tally” indicates selected, but not on-air; ■ BRIGHT or “high tally” indicates selected and on-air. Only one button in each row is illuminated at any time. Primary Source Selection (Primary Crosspoints) Black ... Color Bkgd The Source Select Buttons are used to select which of the inputs into the switcher will be used in the switcher.
PAGE 38
Section 2— Control Panel Descriptions Crosspoint Button Caution Indication A primary crosspoint button may flash if the timing of a selected input cannot be corrected by the automatic input timing circuit. This flashing can be disabled through the Configuration menu. Secondary Source Selection (Re-entry Crosspoints) M/E 1 The secondary source (“M/E re-entry”) buttons, M/E 1 are located at the right of each row of M/E 2 primary crosspoint buttons.
PAGE 39
Source Selection Uncal Each UNCAL indicator LED, located to the right of each row of primary crosspoint buttons, lights if one or more of the following variables are set to non-default values for the selected crosspoint on that bus: opacity, luminance gain, chroma gain, D.C. offset, coring, or horizontal key position. LED Display The Led displays the first four letters of the input name.
PAGE 40
Section 2— Control Panel Descriptions Auto Delegation Panel Delegation Some of the controls on the Model 2200 Switcher are delegated to other controls under conditional control of the operator or system. This feature is called “auto delegation.” The effect of auto delegation is that pressing a button on one subpanel may activate the controls on another subpanel of the control panel.
PAGE 41
Auto Delegation Table 2-1.
PAGE 42
Section 2— Control Panel Descriptions Menu Delegation (DPOPs) The Model 2200 also delegates some menus on the Menu Display screen to open when specific buttons on the panel are doublepressed. (The second press must occur within a half a second) Table 2-2 lists the buttons that support this function. NOTE: An opened menu is delegated, where appropriate, to the button that opened the menu.

Section 2— Control Panel Descriptions Transition Subpanels The transition subpanels are used to select the type of transition and to execute the transition. There is a transition subpanel for each M/E. (See Figures 2-3 and 2-4.) Transition Effect Effect Effect Bkgd Bkgd Key Key B A 1 2 On On Layered Mix Wipe Cut Auto Tran Key Priority On On Over Over Preset Black 60 Figure 2-3.
PAGE 45
Transition Subpanels Next Transition Buttons The five next transition buttons – BKGD b, BKGD a, KEY 1, KEY 2, and KEY PRIORity – select the output signals that will change during the next transition. On An ON indicator located beneath each next transition button is lit when the associated signal is an active part of the M/E output in layered mode. NOTE: The way the Next Transition buttons operate depends on whether the M/E is operating in Standard Mode or in Layered Mode.
PAGE 46
Section 2— Control Panel Descriptions Key 1 Key 2 Activating the KEY 1 or KEY 2 button (lamp lit) causes the next transition to bring on or remove the selected key. Selecting KEY 1 or KEY 2 delegates the keyers subpanel and KEY bus to the selected keyer so that the characteristics of the selected key may be adjusted (see keyer subpanel description). One or both of the KEY buttons can be activated at the same time and one or both keys can be on (ON indicator lit) at the same time.
PAGE 47
Transition Subpanels Transition Type Buttons The type of transition at the next transition is determined by the WIPE, MIX, and PRESET BLACK buttons. The WIPE and MIX buttons are mutually exclusive; pressing one selects it and de-selects the other. Wipe Mix Preset Black A WIPE transition uses the output of the wipe generator to shape the selected transition(s). Your selected wipe pattern appears over the old video/key and moves across the screen, revealing the new video/key as it moves.
PAGE 48
Section 2— Control Panel Descriptions The PRESET BLACK function is available in each M/E. PRESET BLACK affects only the effect where it is selected and not the entire switcher. The button lights when pressed and turns off automatically when the second transition is complete. The BLACK video input button on the A Bus remains lit while the M/E is on the black limit. The preview monitor continues to show the final result of the two-stage preset black transition.
PAGE 49
Transition Subpanels Black Configuring the BLACK Crosspoint – When mapping inputs to pushbuttons, one of the choices in the CONFG menu is BLACK, and another choice is NONE. Your selection will have an effect on how PRESET BLACK operates, and what will happen in the event the controller CPU fails. When the first transition during a preset black operation is completed, the left most BLACK crosspoint is automatically selected on the A Background bus.
PAGE 50
Section 2— Control Panel Descriptions You can use the lever arm in combination with the AUTO TRANs button to perform a transition. You can start the transition by moving the lever arm off its limit, and finish the transition by pressing AUTO TRANs. The transition is completed at a rate proportional to the rate set for a full AUTO TRANs transition.
PAGE 51
Transition Subpanels Pressing CUT cannot, however, complete a transition begun with the lever arm. In this case, CUT reverses the inputs during the background transitions. During key transitions, it changes the logic state of the key. E-MEM recall operations result in another set of conditions for lever arm transitions. When an E-MEM recall places a transition at a point different from the actual position of the lever arm, the lever arm becomes inactive until it is moved to catch up with the transition.
PAGE 52
Section 2— Control Panel Descriptions You can specify a transition rate by entering a value from Ø to 999 frames on the numeric keypad in the effects memory subpanel. A zero frame transition is equivalent to a cut. (Refer to the effects memory subpanel description later in this section for further information on setting the rate.) The lamp in the AUTO TRANs button remains lit for the duration of the transition.
PAGE 53
Keyer Areas Keyer Areas The keyer areas are used to set up the keyers. There is one keyer subpanel for each M/E each of these can be delegated to each of the keyers in that M/E. (See Figure 2-5.) The keyer areas provide control over the following features for it’s M/E: ■ Key masking ■ Video key type selection — preset pattern, chroma key, luminance key, or linear key.
PAGE 54
Section 2— Control Panel Descriptions Keyer Delegation Buttons Key 1 Key 2 Bkgd B Bkgd A The keyer delegation buttons select which of the keyers is being changed. In normal mode, the Keyer Subpanel, located in each M/E row, can be delegated between Key 1 and Key 2. Key 1 Key 1 In layered mode, four keyers are available – Key 1, Key 2, Background B, and Background A. KEY ON Indicator Key On The key oN indicator lamp lights when the delegated keyer is in use.
PAGE 55
Keyer Areas If either knob is adjusted away from unity, the LUM KEY button lights in addition to the LINear KEY button lamp. Both buttons illuminated indicates to the operator that a linear key is being performed with non-unity gain and/or clip. If the key memory feature is enabled in a software menu, the non-unity setting is recalled whenever the input associated with this setting is selected. When gain and clip are returned to unity, the LUM KEY button lamp goes off.
PAGE 56
Section 2— Control Panel Descriptions In the signal path through the Model 2200 switcher, keys, including preset patterns, occur before the effect send crosspoints. This allows any key, including a preset pattern, to be sent to an external digital video effects device via an effects send. Transition wipes, however, occur after the effects send crosspoints. After pressing the PRI PST PTTN function the SPLIT KEY indicator is turned off.
PAGE 57
Keyer Areas When the key bus is contributing to the switcher Program output, pressing MATTE FILL does not low tally the key bus, even though the key fill video is not visible. Video fill mode operates with background keyers in layered mode. When the keyer is delegated to a background layer, the VIDEO FILL button is turned on automatically (MATTE FILL is turned off). Key Source Buttons Video Key Auto Select Key The VIDEO KEY and AUTO SELECT KEY buttons determine the source of the key.
PAGE 58
Section 2— Control Panel Descriptions Split Key Operation A Split Key uses any key source other than a key derived from the key fill (self key) or a key source pre-selected in user preferences or a preset pattern. All other key sources can be used in a Split Key. A Split Key can be used in all keyers, and in either standard or layered mode.
PAGE 59
Keyer Areas One of the two key OVER indicators on the associated transition subpanel is always on, indicating the priority of the Keyers 1 and 2. The indicator is on regardless of the on-air status of either keyer. Over Invert The INVert toggle button inverts the polarity of the key source. Inversion is applied to the incoming key source before key processing is applied. INVert operates in all keyers in layered mode.
PAGE 60
Section 2— Control Panel Descriptions Border Shadow Extrude Outline Borderline Size/Position Borderline Opacity 2-28 The BORDer button turns on symmetrical Borderline mode. The border width may be one, two, or three video lines wide, as adjusted by the (borderline SIZE/POSition) control. The SHadow button turns on Shadow mode. The (borderline SIZE/POSition) knob is used to adjust the shadow width and position from one-to-six lines down and to the right or left.
PAGE 61
Keyer Areas Auto Preview Operation In normal operation, the switched preview output of the system may be set to monitor any of the M/E preview outputs, preview output, or preview primary bus. The Auto Preview feature is activated by pressing one of the keyer delegate buttons (KEY 1, KEY 2, BKGD B, or BKGD A) for 1/2 second or longer. When Auto Preview is active, the delegated key is inserted over the M/E preview output so that you may preview the key setup on the switched preview bus.
PAGE 62
Section 2— Control Panel Descriptions Chroma Keyer Subpanel The basic Chroma Keyer option consists of a Chroma Key Carrier Module for each M/E, providing two chroma keyers per M/E. With this option installed, a chroma key may be done using any 4:2:2 crosspoint signal on the M/E key bus as a source. For external component video sources, an optional dual Chroma Key Input Module can be added, this provides two component video sources.

Chroma Keyer Controls R Y M G B The HUE control sets the color in the chroma key scene from which the key signal will be derived. The foreground and background suppress mattes also use this color unless otherwise set in the menu.
PAGE 64
Section 2— Control Panel Descriptions Bkgd Supr Background suppression removes traces of the chroma key background color from the foreground. The BKGD SUPR button turns background suppression on or off. When suppression is turned on, the associated control knobs are used to define the amount of suppression. The BKGD SUPR (LUM) control adjusts the amount of luminance subtracted from the background region of the foreground video.
PAGE 65
Matte Generators Matte Generators The matte generator areas (Figure 2-7) provide controls for creating and modifying mattes. There is one matte generator subpanel for each M/E, each of these areas controls the six mattes on that M/E.

Effects Memory Subpanel The Master Timeline (the top timeline in the Timeline menu) is a composite representation of the timelines of all enabled levels in the current E-MEM register. All time positions of the effect are referenced to the Master Timeline. A Master Timeline Keyframe is a point on the Master Timeline that has a keyframe on one or more levels at that point in time. The Current Time is the time position of the Time Cursor on the Master Timeline of the effect.
PAGE 86
Section 2— Control Panel Descriptions NOTE: Cuts, Inserts, and Pastes cannot be performed on any locked level of an E-MEM register. Only those levels that are delegated are affected by timeline editing. When ENABLES is selected in the Timeline menu or the main Keyframe menu, all enabled levels are also delegated; thus all levels are affected. When DELEGATES is selected in the menu, only specified enabled levels are delegated; all other enabled levels are enabled but not delegated.
PAGE 87
Effects Memory Subpanel The data entered into the keyframe on each delegated level is the data in the Current Working Buffer, which is the same as the Current Switcher State for that level. Unless otherwise specified (see KF DUR), the duration of the inserted keyframe is the same as that of the current keyframe. Any delegated level that does not have a keyframe at that point in time will have a keyframe inserted just before the current keyframe. On the Path.
PAGE 88
Section 2— Control Panel Descriptions The data entered into the keyframe on each delegated level is the data in the Current Working Buffer, which is the same as the Current Switcher State for that level. This includes the values of all parameters at that point, interpolated on-the-path between the two keyframes, plus any changes that may have been made on the control panel and in the menus since stopping at that point on the timeline.
PAGE 89
Effects Memory Subpanel Paste The PASTE button inserts a keyframe (on all delegated levels) into an effect. This operation is essentially the same as doing an Insert After, with the following exceptions: For a Paste, the data to be inserted comes from the Clipboard Buffer, rather than from the Current Working Buffer, and the keyframe duration also comes from the Clipboard if the Paste is done on a keyframe.
PAGE 90
Section 2— Control Panel Descriptions When an Insert or Paste is done on-the-path in Constant Duration mode, the duration of the inserted keyframe is subtracted from that of the previous keyframe. A Paste operation in Constant Duration mode is similar to an Insert After, except that the data to be pasted comes from the Clipboard Buffer, rather than the Current Working Buffer. A Cut must be made on a keyframe, whether CONST DUR is on or off.
PAGE 91
Effects Memory Subpanel Modify All Keyframes (Relative) When the Time Cursor is positioned on a Master Timeline keyframe, pressing the MODify button twice applies any modification that has been made on any delegated level to all keyframes on that level. For instance, if you want to change the background color by 180° in all keyframes on the M/E 1 level, place the cursor on any keyframe, change the background color, and press MODify twice (generally referred to as Mod All Relative operation).
PAGE 92
Section 2— Control Panel Descriptions A new duration may be entered as follows on the E-MEM keypad: S S S • F F • f ENTER1 The keyframe duration is then applied to all delegated levels by pressing MODify once. Prev Effect Dur The EFFect DUR button is provided for future editing operations. Next PREV and NEXT are used to step the effect forward or backward to the next keyframe on the Master Timeline. When the PREV or NEXT button is pressed, it high-tallies for onehalf second to confirm the operation.

Section 2— Control Panel Descriptions Stop Next KF 2-62 Pressing STOP NEXT KF causes an effect to be stepped through, one Master Timeline keyframe at a time. When on, STOP NEXT KF causes run commands to last the duration of one keyframe, and each lever arm transition to advance the run only one keyframe at a time. The button is at high tally when the function is selected, at low tally when enabled but not selected.
PAGE 95
Effects Memory Subpanel The Run lever arm can be used to manually run an effect. Moving the lever arm causes the current effect to run. Normally, the position of the lever arm directly corresponds to the relative percentage of run completion; however, if the lever arm and the effect get out of sync (for example, the lever arm is not at an endpoint when a register is recalled), the remaining lever arm movement is scaled to the remaining effect duration.

Wipe Subpanel Wipe Subpanel The Wipe Subpanel (Figure 2-11) is used to control all four of the wipe pattern generators in the switcher. Each M/E has a primary wipe generator and may have an optional secondary wipe pattern generator. The secondary wipe pattern generator option allows complete independence between the primary and secondary wipes with no interaction between them.
PAGE 98
Section 2— Control Panel Descriptions The transition WIPE button in the Transition Subpanel always uses the primary wipe generator. Preset wipes, masks, and matte wash can also use the secondary wipe generator. Wipe Delegation M/E 1 Pri M/E 1 Sec M/E 2 Pri M/E 2 Sec Pressing any one of the Wipe delegation buttons at the bottom of the Wipe Subpanel delegates the entire Wipe Subpanel to the named wipe generator.

Section 2— Control Panel Descriptions Wipe Pattern Mix Pattern Mix PATTern MIX toggles the pattern mix mode on or off. When PTN MIX SOURCE is set to NORMAL in the menu, the pattern mix mode causes the delegated wipe generator to mix its pattern with the other wipe generator pattern on a given M/E. (The “other wipe generator” is the secondary generator if delegated to the primary, or the primary generator if delegated to the secondary.
PAGE 103
Wipe Subpanel Wipe Pattern Modifiers Split The SPLIT button toggles split mode on and off. When split mode is on, the selected wipe pattern is split into two. Split operation is affected by the SPLIT OFFSET button and knob in the Wipe Modifier menu. H MULTI and V MULTI allow multiple copies of the same wipe H Multi V Multi pattern to appear. Pressing H MULTI results in an additional copy of the wipe pattern being arranged horizontally (in a row).
PAGE 104
Section 2— Control Panel Descriptions The POS AUTO button invokes an auto positioner mode allowing you to place a wipe pattern anywhere on the screen. You can then make a transition between the wipe pattern and a second video source without the second video “popping” at the end of the lever arm travel. When auto position is selected, the size of the wipe pattern is scaled according to the distance it is positioned off-center. That is, the wipe pattern gets smaller as it moves away from screen center.

These knobs act on the vector parameters to adjust the path into (entry) and out of (exit) the keyframe. The path through KF2 is parallel with an imaginary line drawn between KF1 and KF2. TENSION — Controls the length of the tension vector.

E-MEM Menu GPI and PBUS TRIGGERS Menu From the E-MEM Menu, press the KF TRIGGERS> button to display the GPI and PBUS Triggers Menu. This menu is used to attach GPI triggers or peripheral triggers to E-MEM registers so that the triggers will fire when the registers are recalled. The triggers may be tested after setting them up.
PAGE 230
Section 3 — Menu Descriptions TRIGGER SELECT — Selects the Peripheral trigger (A through H) which you may attach to an E-MEM recall. The triggers are defined in the Peripheral Triggers submenu under Configuration. ATTACH — Attaches the selected trigger to the indicated E-MEM register (ON), or turns the trigger OFF. FIRE X — Causes the selected (highlighted) trigger to fire (for testing purposes).
PAGE 231
Keyframe Menu Keyframe Menu The Keyframe “top level” menu button invokes the Timeline menu. The Timeline Menu provides a graphical display of the keyframe positions for all enabled levels in the current E-MEM register. This menu allows you to view changes to the effect in the selected register while you add, remove, and edit keyframes. The Timeline Menu can be accessed either by pressing the KEYFRAME button on the main menu panel, or by pressing the TIME CURSR button on the E-MEM effects editing panel.
PAGE 232
Section 3 — Menu Descriptions The menu illustrated is for a Model 2200-2 Intedgrated switcher with all levels enabled, two keyframes in the effect, and keyframe editing enabled. MOD ALL ABSOLUTE — Performs a Mod operation (see Effects Editing section) which causes the values in all keyframes to be replaced with the current values in the Current Working Buffer. This modifies all keyframes on a given level to a single value (for example, changing the background to Blue in all keyframes on that level).
PAGE 233
Keyframe Menu can add a pause to an existing keyframe by parking on that keyframe, enabling PAUSE, and doing a Mod. Or you can insert a keyframe with a pause by enabling PAUSE, then doing an Insert After or Insert Before. Software version 5.2 adds the ability to insert a pause at a keyframe. When a pause is added to a keyframe and a run is performed, the run stops at that keyframe on any level that has the pause programmed.
PAGE 234
Section 3 — Menu Descriptions Example 1 – Inserting a Pause 1. Press the Keyframe button on the top menu panel or the Time Cursr button on the Effects Editing panel to bring up the Timeline Menu. 2. Recall an empty register or one that you can write over. 3. If in Enable Mode, enable M/E 1, M/E 2, and Bkgd. If in Delegate mode, delegate M/E 1, M/E 2, and Bkgd. 4.
PAGE 235
Keyframe Menu Example 2 – Inserting a Pause 1. Press E-MEM on the top menu panel to bring up the E-MEM menu, then the soft KF PATHS button in the E-MEM menu to access the Keyframe Path menu. Note (in the upper right corner of the menu) that we are still on Keyframe 2 in the selected register. 2. Select M/E 1 with the SELECT LEVEL button in the E-MEM Keyframe Path Menu, then turn ON the PAUSE function.
PAGE 236
Section 3 — Menu Descriptions Effect Run with Auto Run Off (Master Timeline Enabled) 8. Turn off Auto Run if it is on. 9. Press Run. Note that when a run is performed while Auto Run is off (Auto Run pushbutton not lit), the run is performed on the Master Timeline; therefore, the run stops at any keyframe that has a pause programmed on any level. Thus, in the example, the run stops on all levels at Keyframe 2.
PAGE 237
Keyframe Menu Effect Run with Auto Run On (Independent Timelines Enabled) 12. Turn on Auto Run and rewind the effect. 13. Press Run. Note that when a run is performed while Auto Run is on (Auto Run pushbutton lit), runs are made on the enabled independent timelines (regardless of delegation), not on the Master Timeline. In the example, the M/E 1 and BKGD levels run to their respective pauses and stop, while the M/E 2 effect runs to the end of its timeline. See Figure 4.
PAGE 238
Section 3 — Menu Descriptions NOTE: With Auto Run on and Independent Timelines running, the Master Timeline remains at its first Keyframe (or zero time). When the Independent Timelines arrive at their last keyframe, the Independent Timelines are “skewed” from the Master Timeline position, and all Timeline edits are disabled. For you to enable a Keyframe edit, press REWIND or GO TO KF and the Master and Independent Timelines sync, allowing further Timeline editing.
PAGE 239
Keyframe Menu ■ If the last keyframe on a timeline has a pause and a new keyframe is inserted after it, the next-to-last keyframe will then have the pause. ■ If the first keyframe on an individual level’s timeline has a pause and the beginning of that timeline is skewed with respect to the beginning of the overall effect, the effect stops on that pause if the effect is running on the Master Timeline (Auto Run off).

A Appendix A — Keyframe Path Control Tension, Continuity, and Bias Controls The path that an effect takes between keyframes may be adjusted through the CURVE path type selection from the Keyframe Path Menu. If CURVE is selected, three soft knobs are provided to control the three parameters of the vector. These are labeled: Tension, Continuity, and Bias. The adjustment of these controls can affect the keyframe path in various ways.
PAGE 296
Appendix A — Keyframe Path Control Path Vectors With respect to the path between keyframes, each keyframe is made up of three vector parameters as shown below. The soft knob controls act on these vector parameters to adjust the path into (entry) and out of (exit) the keyframe. The path through KF2 is parallel with an imaginary line drawn between KF1 and KF2.
PAGE 297
Tension, Continuity, and Bias Controls Tension Control In the example below, the keyframes are at right angles so the (TENSION) control operates on a 45° line drawn through the keyframe. This line is referred to as the Tension Vector and is parallel to a line drawn between adjacent keyframes (see illustration). The (TENSION) soft knob controls the length of the tension vector.
PAGE 298
Appendix A — Keyframe Path Control In Example 2, the (TENSION) control is increased to 1.00, so that the Tension vector is shortened to non-existence through KF2. The path enters and leaves the middle keyframe in a straight line as it takes on an S-Linear motion; decelerating as it enters the middle keyframe and accelerating as it leaves. Example 2 No Tension Vector KF1 KF2 Tension = 1.
PAGE 299
Tension, Continuity, and Bias Controls In Example 3, the (TENSION) control has been set to -1.00. This produces an effect of lengthening the Tension vector, causing the path through the middle keyframe to be longer and broader. The longer path will appear to make the image speed up through KF2 as it travels from KF1 to KF3. Example 3 Tension Vector KF1 KF2 Tension = -1.
PAGE 300
Appendix A — Keyframe Path Control Continuity Control The continuity adjustment determines the angle of the path into and out of the keyframe. It is represented by vectors at 90 degrees to each as shown in Example 4. Example 4 Continuity Vectors +1.0 KF1 +1.0 -1.0 KF2 -1.0 Continuity = 0.0 KF3 The unmodified path shown above is identical to the unmodified path of the other controls.
PAGE 301
Tension, Continuity, and Bias Controls With continuity set to 1.00, the entry path through the keyframe is pulled to point at the following keyframe or exit path. The effect of 1.00 continuity is that of motion dropping into and then out of the keyframe, similar to a bouncing ball (see Example 5). Example 5 +1.0 KF1 +1.0 -1.0 KF2 -1.0 Continuity = 1.
PAGE 302
Appendix A — Keyframe Path Control With continuity set to -1.00, the paths between the keyframes become straight lines, accelerating through the keyframe (see Example 6). Example 6 +1.0 KF1 -1.0 +1.0 KF2 -1.0 Continuity = -1.
PAGE 303
Tension, Continuity, and Bias Controls Bias Control The (BIAS) control determines whether the path will be “pulled” towards the previous or the following keyframe. With extreme settings, all of the biasing will occur either before or after KF2. With bias set to 0, the curve through the keyframe is gentle as shown in Example 7 below. Example 7 Tension Vector Bias Vector + KF1 KF2 Bias = 0.0 KF3 NOTE: A Tension vector MUST be present for Bias control to have an effect.
PAGE 304
Appendix A — Keyframe Path Control With the bias set to 1.00, the path is pulled towards the previous keyframe. Entrance and exit to the keyframe are on a straight line from the previous keyframe (see Example 8), and the path of the effect travels completely through KF2 before turning towards KF3. Example 8 - + Entry Bias KF1 KF2 Bias = 1.
PAGE 305
Tension, Continuity, and Bias Controls With the bias set to -1.00, the path is pulled towards the following keyframe. Entrance and exit to the keyframe are a straight line pointed to the following keyframe (see Example 9). Example 9 Tension Vector Exit Bias Bias + KF1 KF2 Bias = -1.
