Analog Way OPS300 - 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.
OPS300 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 OPS300 . 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. OPS300 can record up to 8 still logos. They can be positioned anywhere on the
screen. An animated logo is also available on the eighth input.
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. OPS300 allows to use a live source with
green or blue background and to key it over any other live input.
1-2. USEFUL TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
BACKGROUND: a Background is a source, typically originating from a computer. OPS300 enables you to
work with live or still (frame) background sources - visually in back of 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 (or in back) of another layer.
The OPS300 can simultaneously view no less than 6 layers (3 video or live layers,
1 frame layer or background and 2 logo layers).
OPS300 can insert up to 2 PIPs on a live background, plus 2 logos.
