Transforming an image in three-dimensional coordinate space
Use the following procedure.
1
With the region selection buttons, select the target channel of the
operation.
You can press several of the buttons simultaneously to select several
channels. In this case, the button that you pressed first lights in green,
while buttons pressed subsequently light in amber.
2
With the function assignment buttons, select the three-dimensional
coordinate space in which to perform the transformation.
LOCAL button: Selects local coordinate space.
GLB button: Selects global coordinate space. You can select this button
and the [LOCAL] button simultaneously.
SRC button: Selects the source coordinate space.
TRGT button: Selects the target coordinate space.
([SRC] and [TRGT] cannot be selected at the same time.)
3
Press the button for the operation you want to do, turning it on, to select
the transformation mode.
The trackball and Z-ring are assigned to the selected three-dimensional
coordinate space transformation mode.
For details of the three-dimensional transformation operation modes, see
“Transformation Operation Modes” in Chapter 1 (Volume 1).
To move the image: Press the [LOC XYZ] button, turning it on.
You can move the image on the x- and y-axes with the trackball and
move it on the z-axis with the Z-ring. Pressing the [LOC SIZE] button
instead of the [LOC XYZ] button, turning it on, makes it possible to
move the image on the x- and y-axes.
To rotate the image: Press the [ROT] button, turning it on.
You can rotate the image on the x- and y-axes with the trackball and
rotate it on the z-axis with the Z-ring.
To rotate the image in Spin mode, press the [ROT] button, turning it
on, while holding down the [SHIFT] button. You can operate in the
same way with the trackball and Z-ring.
To move an axis of rotation: With the [SRC] button selected in step 2,
press the [AXIS LOC] button, turning it on.
You can move the axis of rotation of the image on the x- and y-axes of
the image with the trackball, and on the z-axis with the Z-ring.
To magnify or shrink the image: Press the [LOC SIZE] button, turning
it on.

14
You can magnify and shrink the image with the Z-ring. Rotate
counterclockwise to shrink, and clockwise to magnify.
To change the aspect ratio of the image: With the [SRC] button selected
in step 2, press the [ASP PERS] button, turning it on.
You can change the aspect ratio independently on the x- and y-axes
with the trackball, and change it simultaneously on both the x- and y-
axes with the Z-ring.
To change the perspective on the image: With the [TRGT] button
selected in step 2, press the [ASP PERS] button, turning it on.
You can change the perspective of the image on the x- and y-axes with
the trackball, and change the distance to the view point with the Z-
ring.
To change the skew of the image: With the [SRC] button selected in step
2, press the [ASP PERS] button, turning it on, while holding down the
[SHIFT] button.
You can change the skew of the image along the x- and y-axes with
the trackball.
4
Depending on the axis of the change, operate the trackball and Z-ring as
follows.
• To change on the x-axis, rotate the trackball horizontally.
Parameter values increase as you rotate to the right, and decrease as you
rotate to the left.
• To change on the y-axis, rotate the trackball vertically.
Parameter values increase as you rotate upward, and decrease as you
rotate downward.
Three-Dimensional Transformation Operations 15
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
• To change on the z-axis, rotate the Z-ring.
Parameter values increase as you rotate clockwise, and decrease as you
rotate counterclockwise.
However, when you have pressed the [LOC XYZ] button to move the
image, z-axis parameters increase as you rotate counterclockwise, and
decrease as you rotate clockwise.
If you hold down the [SRC] or [TRGT] button while carrying out the above
operations, the rate of change of the parameters is reduced. (Fine mode)
5
To restrict the change in the transformation to a specific axis, press the [X],
[Y], or [Z] button, tuning it on.
This enables the trackball and Z-ring operations on the selected axis only.

VTR/Disk Recorder Timeline
Note
When executing a VTR/disk recorder timeline using a disk recorder, note the
following points.
• When carrying out keyframe settings, be sure to recall the file for operation
first.
• Set the keyframe duration to at least 30 frames.
• If the duration of the recorded video clip is less than the keyframe duration,
after playback to the end of the clip, the remainder of the keyframe duration
is filled with a still of the last frame of the clip (see figure below).

: Interval in which still frame is displayed
In this example, when keyframe 1 is executed, the first 15 frames consist of clip
playback and the remaining 15 frames show the 15th frame as a still image.
• From pressing the [RUN] button to the time when the effect actually starts
execution may take around one second.
In order that pressing the [RUN] button after [REWIND] make the effect
start execution as soon as possible, set cueing up of the file for operation as
rewind operation 1). In the first keyframe 2) to be executed with [RUN], for
the cued-up file, do not set the start point, but set only the start command.
1) If the setting when the [REWIND] button is pressed is for the first keyframe to be executed,
then the first keyframe is executed, and otherwise the setting for the Rewind Action is carried
out.
2) If the setting when the [REWIND] button is pressed is for the first keyframe to be executed,
then the second keyframe is executed, and otherwise the first keyframe is executed.
• To execute an effect, be sure to carry out a Rewind.
For example, when the start command only is set for a keyframe, playback
starts from the current position, in the same way as with a VTR (no automatic
cue-up).

Setup Relating to Router Interface and Tally
Router Interface Settings (Router Menu)
In this system, the interface with a router (routing switcher) uses the S-Bus
protocol. It is therefore necessary to assign inputs and outputs of the switcher
and so on to an S-Bus space.
To carry out this assignment, use the Router/Tally>Router menu. The
assignment is common to the parallel and serial tallies.
To display the Router menu
In the Engineering Setup menu, select VF6 ‘Router/Tally’ and HF1 ‘Router.’
The status area shows the device names to be assigned to the S-Bus space, the
matrix size, source address, destination address, and level.
Assigning switcher inputs and outputs to S-Bus space
Use the following procedure.
1
In the <Device> group of the Router/Tally>Router menu, select the device
to which the settings apply.
SWR1: Settings apply to switcher 1.
SWR2: Settings apply to switcher 2.
Note
When there are two switchers on the same network, the SWR2 (second
switcher) settings are required. If there is only one switcher, the settings
are not required.
2
3
In the <Matrix Size> group, select the matrix size.
Standard (136 × 138): Assign the switcher S-Bus space at full size. You
can assign all switcher inputs and outputs to the S-Bus space, but this
causes some waste of S-Bus space.
Compact (128 × 128): Assign the switcher S-Bus space at compact size.
It is not possible to assign all switcher inputs and outputs to the S-Bus
space, but the S-Bus space can be used efficiently.
Turn the knobs to set the parameters for the following items.
Source: Specify the start address of the matrix source.
Destination: Specify the start address of the matrix destination.
