Chapter 1 Applying Effects to Video and Sound [TIME EFFECTS] The still, strobe, or multi-strobe effect can be set. Still: Keeps the video still. Strobe: Plays video frame by frame. Multi-strobe: Divides the screen into 4, 9, or 16 screens and displays the strobe image on each divided screen. The following diagram shows an example of the multistrobe effect. If [STROBE] is selected Rotary 1 Rotary 2 Rotary 3 Rotary 4 Rotary 5 TIME SCREEN TIME EFFECTS STROBE FIELD 1 2 FIELD FRAME 1 @ 4 @ 9 @ 16 R 4 R 9 R 16 MANUAL 2-124 Multi-strobe effect (16 screens) The still effect can be executed by pressing the A/PROG bus (or B/PRESET bus) STILL button. The strobe effect can be executed by pressing the A/PROG bus (or B/PRESET bus) STROBE button. When the STILL or STROBE button is pressed to turn on, the [VIDEO EFFECTS] menu appears ( page 13).  NOTE When the STILL or STROBE button is pressed to execute the effect, the video effects set in the VIDEO EFFECTS menu are also executed at the same time. Rotary 1 Rotary 2 Rotary 3 Rotary 4 Rotary 5 TIME EFFECTS SCREEN TIME OFF FLEID 1 2 OFF STILL STROBE FIELD FRAME 1 @ 4 @ 9 @ 16 R 4 R 9 R 16 MANUAL 2-124 Select [STILL] or [STROBE] using the rotary 2 control. Select [OFF] to apply no effect. When [OFF] is selected, both the STILL and STROBE execution buttons are also set to off (turned off). If [STILL] is selected Rotary 1 Rotary 2 Rotary 3 Rotary 4 Rotary 5 TIME EFFECTS STILL FIELD FIELD FRAME Select [FIELD] or [FRAME] using the rotary 3 control. The factory default setting is [FIELD]. Select [FIELD] or [FRAME] using the rotary 3 control. The factory default setting is [FIELD]. Set [SCREEN] (number of strobe screens) and the repeat count using the rotary 4 control. The factory default setting is 1. A numeric value such as [@ 4] is set to specify the number of screens into which the screen is divided for strobe image display. When @ is given to a numeric value: The strobe image is sequentially displayed only once on each of the screens divided according to the value. When R is given: It is repeated to sequentially display the strobe image on each of the screens divided according to the value. Set [TIME] (strobe duration) in the range of [2] to [124] using the rotary 5 control. Time can be changed in 2 steps. The factory default setting is [20]. When [TIME] is set to [MANUAL], the screen can be stopped by pressing the A/PROG bus STROBE button or B/ PRESET bus STROBE button while holding down the SHIFT key. This time setting is applied to Nos. 1062, 1063, 1064, and 1065 (215, 216, 217, and 218) transition patterns.  NOTE • When any of the following patterns is selected, only one choice can be made from SOFT, BORDER, and SOFT BORDER for multi-strobe and pattern edge. The effect selected last has priority, and the previously selected effect is canceled. Nos. 1541 to 1550 (32 to 35, 130 to 133, and 141 to 142) Nos. 3304, 3314, and 3324 • Either strobe or still can be selected. Whichever is selected later has priority and the other selected earlier is canceled. • Either multi-strobe or scene grabber can be selected. Whichever is selected later has priority and the other selected earlier is canceled. • The multi-strobe effect cannot be enabled for both A/PROG and B/PRESET at the same time. The setting made last has priority and the other made earlier is disabled. • When the still or strobe (including multi-strobe) effect is activated, selecting a two-dimensionally compressed pattern cancels the still or strobe effect. When a two-dimensionally compressed pattern is selected, applying the still or strobe effect changes the pattern being used to the MIX(56) pattern. 15
