Instruction manual

HDE-3000 - 58 -
WaitUntil|n n = H:M:S:F
Wait until the time code is greater than or equal to H:M:S:F before further script
commands are executed. Time code is either read externally or is simulated with the HDE-
3000’s internal clock. If you are using simulated time code then you must precede the first
WaitUntil command with a SetTime command.
LoadPCX|X Y filename
Loads a YCrCb bitmap image in .yc or .uyc format to the non-displayed memory at
location (X,Y). Location X,Y is with respect to the top-left corner of the screen. The bitmap
image is in Y Cr Cb format. LINK provides a conversion program to convert from PCX, Tiff,
PNG and BMP to Y Cr Cb (.yc or .uyc).
Flip
Flips frame buffer memories. The HDE-3000 contains two video frame buffers: one is
considered the “displayed” memory, and the other the “non-displayed” memory. The Flip
command causes the displayed memory to become the non-displayed memory and vice
versa.
FlipE
Same as Flip but also erases the non-displayed memory.
EDM
Erases the displayed frame buffer memory.
ENM
Erases the non-displayed frame buffer memory.
Fade | ontime | offtime
The FADE command initiates a mechanism in the HDE-3000 GI hardware to perform
fading when executing a FLIP or FLIPE command. Before the memories are flipped the GI
overlay is faded off, and after the memories are flipped the GI overlay is faded on. The
ONTIME and OFFTIME parameters specify how fast to fade on and how fast to fade off, and
their values are expressed in number of fields (60 fields per second for NTSC and 50 for
PAL). For example if ONTIME is set to 60 (50 for PAL) then it will take 1 second for the
overlay to fade on. To disable fading set both ONTIME and OFFTIME to zero.
EncodeCC|filename
Starts a closed caption encoding session. The caption data file specified by filename
can be in any format supported by the HDE-3000. The HDE-3000 will automatically
determine which format is supplied by reading the file. Once started, the caption encoding
job will run concurrently with subsequent HDE-3000 commands. The caption job will run
until it is completed or the script file is aborted.
End
Marks the end of the script file.
