Patterns, Washes, and
Mattes
Patterns, Washes, and Mattes are internally generated
graphical elements that can be used for key or
background ll, key shapes, and transition effects. The
switcher has a limited number of pattern and matte
generators dedicated to each ME.
Patterns
Pattern generators are used for wipes, masks, and washes.
Each pattern generator can create a single pattern output
that can be adjusted to create a specic look.
Patterns can be applied to the following:
•
Wipes — Press WIPE.
• Masks — Select the key you want apply the mask to
and use the Mask knob to select Pattern.
•
Washes — Select the matte generator (BG) on a
background or key bus and use the Wash knob to
select On.
To Set Up a Pattern
When a pattern generator is assigned to a wipe, mask, or
wash, the pattern setting are displayed. Selecting the
WIPE button, KEY SEL button, or the matte generator
(BG) returns to this menu. When a pattern generator is
assigned the pattern settings are part of the setup menu.

Use the Pattrn knob to select the wipe pattern you
want to use. You can also select the pattern by
pressing the pattern button directly.
2.
Use the X Pos knob to position the wipe pattern
horizontally. You can also use the positioner.
3.
Use the Y Pos knob to position the wipe pattern

Washes
Washes are applied to matte generators selected on the
background or key buses and allow you to apply a
two-color effect based on a selected pattern.
To Set Up a Wash
A wash applies colors to a pattern selected for a matte.
The rst color is preset to the matte color, but both are
selectable. Selecting the source button again, or KEY
SEL button returns to this menu. Refer to the sections
on mattes and patterns for information on setting them
up. You can load a preset color instead of creating the
rst custom color.

Use the Hue 1 knob to adjust the hue of the rst
custom color.
2.
Use the Sat 1 knob to adjust the saturation of the
rst custom color.
3.
Use the Lum 1 knob to adjust the luminance of the
rst custom color.

Mattes
Mattes are solid color signals that can be applied to
backgrounds and keys, and borders. Color selection is
done either by picking a preset color, or by adjusted hue,
saturation, and luminance to create a custom color.
Mattes can be applied to the following:
•
Background — Select the matte generator (BG) on
a background or key bus. The full region of the
background or key is lled with the selected color.
•
Border — Assign a border to a WIPE transition or
a key. The wipe border is lled with the selected
color.
