Backgrounds as Inputs
The Input > Scaled BG subtab allows the Event Master series processor to use Backgrounds as Inputs. This
subtab can be used on any E2 or S3 processor, but it is especially useful on a limited-resource processor,
such as an S3–4K Jr. processor. An Input defined as a Background can now be used as a Background, or as a
source on an AUX Destination or Screen Destination layer.
To use a Background as an Input, follow this procedure.
1. Go to the Programming menu.
2. Go to the Input tab of the Resources area, and then go to the Scaled BG subtab of the Input tab.
3. Drag a Background from the list on the Sacled BG subtab and drop it on any Screen or AUX Destination in
the Programming Diagram area that has at least one layer assigned to it.
If no layer is assigned to the Destination, you will have to go to the Native Background tab and drag and
drop the Background from the Background subtab.
