Position/Crop Menu
The Squeeze & Tease MD Position/Crop Menu is the main menu that is used when flying a key.
When you first press FLY KEY for an MLE with the Squeeze & Tease option installed, the S&T
MD Position/Crop Menu 1-2 is displayed.
Note — When you press PST PATT, the switcher automatically selects FLY KEY, selects a full
screen image, and displays the S&T MD Position/Crop Menu 1-2.
S&T MD Position/Crop Menu 1-2
The Status Area in the top, left-hand corner shows the menu name and the number of Squeeze &
Tease channels in use. Below that, the MLE and Keyer in use are displayed. In the Central Status
Area, three graphic boxes are provided to assist you in quickly visualizing the Position,
Rotation, and Point of Rotation for the channel:
• The larger Position box shows the entire 3D view in which channels are being
manipulated. The smaller box, inside the 3D view, shows the actual channel (for
example, the key that you are flying).
• The Rotation box shows the 3D orientation of the channel in relation to the field of view.
As you change the Rotation coordinates, the box shows the rotation of the channel.
• The Point of Rotation box shows the Pivot Point around which the channel rotates.
These graphic boxes combine to provide a visual status of the channel parameters. As you switch
between Keyers, the graphics are updated, providing a quick reference when working with
multiple channels on screen.
