Other functions:
• Gradual acceleration and slowing down of the
PIPs on a motion path.
• Extensive library containing new forms.
• Free determination of the image extract for a
PIP.
• For an even more realistic display, you can
define up to three light sources to light up a PIP.
• The supplied default settings enable you to run
the program immediately.
General instructions:
Throughout this manual, you will often see the
word “PIP”. We use this term (ie. “Picture in
Picture”) for the video scene or video image,
which overlaps your background video.
3. Installation / Starting the
program
To install the PIP-Studio 3D software, you must
have system software Smart Edit 4.0 or later
(HDV is only possible with Smart Edit 5.2, or
version 6.1 or higher).
Leave your device switched on and, in the
System Settings screen, select the Install
product button to open the corresponding
window.
Take the SmartMedia installation card and insert
it into the drive, whilst making sure that the
gold-coloured contacts are facing downwards
and the bevelled corner is on the left (pointing
towards the device).
If the PIP-Studio 3D software is on a CD/DVD
and if your system has a DVD drive and DVD-
Arabesk software, insert the CD/DVD into the
DVD drive.
After a few seconds (if you are using a CD/DVD,
the drive may make a noise which indicates that
the CD/DVD is being read by the system.), you
will see that the PIP-Studio 3D software is listed
in the Install product window. Select it from the
list and click on Activate.
After a while a numerical keypad appears. Use
it to enter the license code that you purchased
from your dealer. A message will then inform
you that the installation process has completed.
You can now remove the SmartMedia card or
CD/DVD.
If you want to install PIP-Studio 3D as a demo
version, first select it from the list and click on
Activate.
Afterwards, click on the Demo button in the
numerical keypad window.
You will now see the word Demo after the
program name. Confirm by pressing Ok and
then remove the SmartMedia card or CD/DVD.
PIP-Studio 3D has now been installed as a demo
version.
You can use all functions with this demo version,
but a “Demo” stroke is displayed on the effect
list after the calculation.
After you have installed the software, you will
see the PIP-Studio 3D program in the Image
processing effects menu in the list of effects
and listed alphabetically in the Edit menu under
Special.
