Pattern Mix
The Zodiak system can combine the complex wipe pattern generators ( C1
and C2 ), to create a wide variety of customized wipes.
To Create a Pattern Mix:
1. In the M/E you wish to perform the pattern mix, double press the Wipe
button in the Transition subpanel on the Main panel. This selects Wipe
as the next transition type and also opens the Wipes menu with C1
delegated for control.
2. Select the C1 pattern to be used by touching the Ptn data pad in the C1
Generator pane, and then selecting one of the displayed patterns.
3. Touch the Mix, Type, Ratio data pad located to the right of Ptn data pad in
the C1 Generator pane. Additional control buttons will appear at the
bottom of the menu and the pattern selection display will delegate to
C2 for selecting the pattern to be mixed (
Figure 292 on page 418 ).
4. To preview the effect, delegate the M/E for preview in the Preview
subpanel on the Main panel.
5. Press the Trans PVW button in the Transition subpanel, and move the
lever arm part way. This will display the C1 pattern on preview.
6. In the C2 pattern selection display in the Wipes menu, touch the
desired pattern to be mixed with C1.
7. Touch the Pattern Mix button in the Mix pane at the bottom of the screen
so its indicator illuminates. The preview monitor will now show the
combined C1 and C2 pattern.
8. You can select the type of pattern mix with the Mix type buttons ( Mix ,
NAM + , NAM – ). The NAM buttons are used for And or Or pattern mixing.
9. You can also adjust the amount each wipe pattern contributes to the
mix with the
Ratio control soft button at the bottom right of the screen.
At 50%, each pattern contributes equally. At 25%, the other pattern
contributes only 25% to the final pattern.
