Analog Way Di-VentiX II - Manual (Page 7)

PIP: a PIP (Picture In Picture), is a picture, typically of reduced size, which is positioned over another
background image or PIP. PIPs can be reduced, enlarged and bordered. PIPs can overlap, depending on
their visual priority.
Di-VentiX II allows for Dynamic PIP on the opening and closing of the sequence, vertically or horizontally. A
“flying” PIP is also possible over the screen with vertical, horizontal or diagonal animation. A PIP is considered
as a live layer.
FRAME: a Frame is a full screen image which is selected from one of the eight still frames which you can
capture with the Di-VentiX II . A Frame can be flash captured from any video or computer source plugged into
the machine (8 max).
LOGO: a Logo is a partiel screen image that can be flash captured from any Video or Computer source, by
keying or image cut-out. Di-VentiX II can record up to 8 still logos. They can be positioned anywhere on the
screen.
KEYING: a Key is an electronic process whereby an image is electronically superimposed over another
source or background, by cutting out either a color (Chroma Key), or its brightness or luminance levels (Luma
Key). Keys are typically used for titles, logos and special effects. Di-VentiX II allows to use a live source with
green or blue background and to key it over any other live input.

BACKGROUND: a Background is a source, typically originating from a computer. Di-VentiX II enables you
to work with live or still (frame) background sources - visually behind all other sources.
LAYER: a Layer is an image display element (such as a PIP window, Key, Logo(s) or Background) that has
an associated visual priority — either in front of or behind another layer.
The Di-VentiX II can simultaneously view no less than 8 layers (4 video or live layers, 1 frame layer or
background, 2 logo layers and 1 Mask Frame).
Di-VentiX II can insert up to 3 PIPs on a live background or 4 PIPs on a still background (frame).
