MONITOR
The "monitor" tab is a visual display of the 4 track output system,
that displays the images, effects and colors of each track ,
the mouse can be put into any one of the 4 windows to control
"real-time" rotation or position effects. Each track can be
individually selected or deselected, additional effects can be
applied to the "active" tracks, this allows the output to be
flexible by manipulation of 4 layers .
TRANSITIONS
The "cue to cue" transition control includes standard morph,
cross cut , fades, zooms etc, create and program custom transition
effects. The transition duration is set by slider and can
apply any duration selected. Each cue can also have its own
transition.
PLAYING SPEEDS
5 speed sliders in the "playing speed" tab control each
monitor window, move the sliders to suit the desired speed for
animations, effect, key effect and color scrolling. Each slider can
also have a multiplication applied to its maximum speed to achieve
faster or slower speeds.
The master ,overrides all
sliders.
SIZE, SCAN RATE AND BRIGHTNESS
Control the overall parameters of the output size, scan rate and
brightness. The X and Y size sliders can be locked together, or
