Working with Frames
Opening transitions & closing Still Layers (Logos or Frames)
I t is possible to store up to 8 frames in the OPS300 non volatile memory. Frames are mainly used
as backgrounds in a typical show or event setup, and can be recorded from any of the OPS300 ’
12 sources and called back at the press of a single button. To use a frame, be sure first that it is well saved,
then:
Press [BACKGROUND FRAME] button → Press the source button (#1 to #12) of the source
memorized → Press the [TAKE] button to display
* NOTE * : Frames may be used only one at a time and can be placed only in the background Frame layer.
When transitioning still layers, depending on how many scalers are in use, the OPS300 [TAKE] function will
act in one of 2 different ways when transitioning the Next Preset (Preview) to the Current Preset (Main):
• TAKE shot: #1
- All still frames make an opening and closing phase.
- All sources of the same layer are completely different between the Current Preset and the Next Preset. The
opening and closing effects of the Layer are set to Cut.
• TAKE shot: #2
- One of the Layer makes a change of source which be not in Cut.
- The opening and closing phases can be done with different effects.
- The still frame appears and disappears of the layer with the following effects: Cut, Fade, Slide or Wipe.
Capturing still Frames
To capture a frame, display the exact content you want to save on one of your outputs, at the exact resolution,
you can use the [FREEZE] button if you want. Then follow this step:
Logos/Frames menu → record Frame menu→ Frame #
Choose the frame number slot and wait until the unit to finish saving. Your frame is now saved and you can
use it through the [BACKGROUND FRAME] button.
The capture of frames can be done only under the following conditions:
- the unit can be in Mixer Mode,
- the capture can be done the Main output or the Preview output,
- the disappearance of frames on the Preview and Main output is normal.
A frame captures the state of the specified output at the main output resolution, and must be recalled using the same
output resolution. Resizing or other image manipulation of the captured frame is not possible.
Attempting to use a Frame at a different resolution will result in a partial Frame display or a Frame which does not fill
the step.
The captured output is outlined by a white border and includes the pixels beneath the white border.
The Frame/Logo can be memorized from Output # 1 or # 2. To record a Frame/Logo, please refer to the chap-
ter “Capturing still Frame/Logo” in the Mixer mode.
To use a Frame/Logo, refer to “Working with Frame/Logo”.
As a source, each frame/logo can be used by both outputs, you just have to select the correct matrix# button first.
