Pattern Generators
The Vision switcher has 8 Pattern Generators per MLE that provide wipes, preset patterns,
washes, and masks. The Pattern Generators are used as follows:
• Complex Pattern Generators — These two (2) pattern generators provide Wipe
transition patterns, as well as Preset Patterns or Masks for keyers. These pattern
generators float between the transition area and keyers. Complex Pattern Generators can
generate all types of wipes.
• Simple Key Pattern Generators — These four (4) pattern generators provide Preset
Patterns or Masks for keyers. Simple Pattern Generators cannot generate Matrix or
Special wipes.
• Simple Wash Pattern Generators — These two (2) additional pattern generators
provide all the Wash resources for the MLE.
