Working with DVEs
Working with DVEs
There are up to 4 DVE buttons on the panel. The Imagestore 750 configuration permits the associa-
tion of one DVE (of a possible 97 stored DVEs) with each button.
To use a DVE:
1 Press the appropriate DVE button on the preset row.
2 Carry out other presets as required.
3 Press the transition button.
You can “hot cut” DVEs to the program bus. Hot cuts are not recommended.
If your panel has a ‘PGM DVE Enable’ button, you can use it to enable or disable DVEs on the pro-
gram bus.
If your panel has a ‘PST DVE Enable’ button, you can use it to enable or disable DVEs on the pre-
set bus.
The use of DVEs is affected by certain transition options. See
Transition Options on page 107 for
more information.
Working with XG Layers
There are up to 8 XG layer accessible at your panel. Your panel can have some number of XG layer
buttons. You can choose XG clips in the XG layer sub-menu. You can also turn the layers on and
off in that menu.
XG layers are peculiar. First, XG layers are processed by one of the Imagestore 750’s DSKs. If you
are using XG layers, only 3 of the 4 DSKs are available to process keys.
Second, you cannot view an XG layer merely by selecting it on PST. Doing so only arms the XG
layer for transition. However, you can view XG layers by selecting XG layers on PGM and then
selecting the DSK that carries it, either on PGM or on PST. If you select the DSK on PGM, the XG
layer appears on air. If you select the DSK on PST, it does not.
The Imagestore 750 has several options that relate to this phenomenon and which affect the way
you work with that Imagestore 750. These are the options:
• ‘Slave keyer assign’.
This option designates one of the DSKs as the default carrier for XG layer content. When you
select an XG layer (on PST or PGM) the default DSK is also selected. You can always override
this default.
The option can also specify that none of the DSKs is the default. In this case, you must choose a
DSK carrier manually.
• ‘Slave keyer follow up’.
This option can be enabled or disabled. When it is enabled, the default DSK turns on automati-
cally when you have selected one or more XG layers.
When this option is disabled, the default DSK is not affected by XG layer selections.
