Ops 17–2 • WARP Effects Vision Operator’s Manual (v12.0 MD)
WARP Resources
Each WARP card installed in the frame provides a single WARP resource that is available to the
MLE-pair that the Squeeze & Tease MD Carrier is installed for. Each Squeeze & Tease MD
Carrier provides a maximum of 2 WARP cards that can be applied either to a single MLE, or one
to each MLE.
One WARP resource is required to provide a single WARP effect (Table 17.1). A single WARP
effect can be a WARP that is applied to a keyer, or a Squeeze & Tease MD wipe that contains a
WARP effect. If a WARP is used in a transition, only a single WARP resource is consumed, even
if multiple video signals are being transitioned.
Using WARP Resources
If you try to use an additional WARP resource when all the WARP resources are already
consumed, the switcher will give you the option to cancel the action, or take one of the currently
used WARP resources. If you choose to take one of the WARP resources, the effect being
generated by that WARP resource will be lost. For example, if the WARP resource is being used
as part of a sequence, the sequence will be unloaded when you take the WARP resource. If the
WARP resource is being used in a Squeeze & Tease MD wipe, the transition type will be changed
to a dissolve when you take the WARP resource.
If the WARP effect you are trying to perform requires two WARP resources, you will be asked to
either confirm the taking of the WARP resources from the other effects, or to cancel the action.
Once sufficient WARP resources have been taken, the new effect can be created, unless the effect
was being created by one of the following:
• Memory Recall
• Keyer Copy or Swap
• MLE Copy
In these cases, the action was performed without the requested WARP resources. You must
perform the action again to have the WARP resources assigned to the effect.
