8.2.19 Layer transitions & effects
The Eikos² offers a wide variety of transitions between the scenes you create for your shows and events. It
allows for live recall of 8 user presets, each of which you can edit at any given time.
1. Whether catering for complex event setups, or putting together intricate shows, your Eikos² will also deli-
ver some of what you could expect from a dedicated mixer, along with its switcher and scaler capabilities.
2. In the Layer Selection section, press the Layer A button. The button will start blinking. On your Preview
screen, Layer A will appear as a color rectangle. The parameters of the layer will automatically appear on
your Eikos² VFD menu screen.
3. In the Layer Menu, make the position, size, border and transparency settings you like, then select Opening
Effect in the layer options, press the ENTER button and select Type. Select Slide Left - Right for example,
and press the ENTER button to confirm. Navigate to Duration in the Opening Effect sub-menu, and set the
duration of your effect by rotating the SCROLL knob and pressing ENTER.
Repeat the procedure in the Closing Effect sub-menu to determine the way your layer will close. Try Slide
From Left - Right for the closing type with a duration of 1.5 seconds for example.
8.2.20 Capturing logos
To capture a logo, display the exact content you want to save on the Program or Preview screen, you can use
the freeze button if you want. Then follow these steps:
Logos/Frames menu > Record Logo menu > Set up your logo > Store menu > logo#
To set up your logo you have several features available:
- Position / Size Adjustment
- Keying type
- Luma / Chroma key
- Cut out color.
Select the logo number you want to save and wait until the unit finishes saving. Your logo is now saved and
you can use it through the logo button.
You can save up to 8 logos with the Eikos².
The capture of logos can be done only with the following conditions:
- The capture can be done on the Program output or the Preview output
- The disappearance of logos on the Preview and Program output is normal during saving.
The logos are captured with the same size as is visible on the Program output without any form of adjust-
ments. If zooming is required, resize the layer or use the layer zoom or input zoom.
A logo captures the state of the defined area on the specified output at the Program output resolution, and
must be recalled using the same output resolution. Resizing or other image manipulation of the captured
logo is not possible.
The capture zone is outlined by a white rectangle and includes the pixels beneath the white border. The non-
captured area has a reduced brightness.
