Advanced video processing
The Event Master processors are the most a dvanced video processing and presentation control s ystems on the market today. These
systems pro vide source selection, w indowing, seamless switching, v ideo effects and integrated control for professional pre senta-
tions. The modular and scalable architecture of the Event Ma ster processors allow to support a wide variety of show configurations.
A word about Layers
A layer is an im age display element stacked on top of another or a background. W ithin the Event Master processor, each mixer
has two layers, A and B, and one Background layer. For complete flexibility, each layer can be assigned to either PIP or Key
functionality.
The Background layer has the lowest priority. Any input or inputs can be used as a background. This layer visually appe ars behind
all o ther PIPs and keys. The system can transition between two back ground sources.
PIP layer appears over backgrounds and under other layers of higher priority. PIP effects include mixes, smooth moves, resizing,
adjustable aspect ratio, borders and drop shadows.
Key layer also appears over backgrounds and under other layers of higher priority. Key effects include luminance keys, split keys
(key alpha or fill), invert keys and chroma keys (future release).
