Setting Key Learn [KEY LEARN]

The key learn function allows storing the key frame
settings (XYZ and key level) in memory and calling them to
reproduce the animation effect.
A key frame refers to a frame which defines changes of the
video used for animation. Several points where a shape
or position of an object is changed can be set in the key
frame to create smooth animation through interpolation
between the points.
With the [(BASIC) PATTERN KEY] menu, the rotary 1

 Chapter 3 Switching 3D Video
When two different types of video for the left eye (L channel) and right eye (R channel) are monitored in the overlay state,
adjustment is made for allowing the left eye and right eye to view the L-channel video and R-channel video, respectively,
for example, wearing 3D glasses. This adjustment enables the brain to recognize the images on video as stereoscopic
images.
When the parallax (distance between left and right eyes) is virtually increased, a 3D appearance and a sense of depth are
enhanced.
When 3D video is used as the input source to this unit, two input connectors are paired to input one video for the left eye
Chapter 3 Switching 3D Video

and the other for the right eye.

 List of Transition Patterns
Legends
• There is a case in which two or more numbers are set for one pattern (duplicate numbers). +Diss: This denotes a pattern to which the dissolve effect can be applied.
Example: The same Mtrix pattern is called regardless of whether 24 or 701 is specified. A: Temporary change of aspect ratio is available (page Vol.1-35).
• When transition is executed by specifying the number in the columns for which “+Diss” is shown, transition mix (Dissolve) is performed. O: One-way function is available (page Vol.1-34). (Only when [BUS] in the [SETUP] menu is set to [AB].)
Example: The same Slide1 pattern is called regardless of whether 43 or 1311 is specified. However, when transition is executed with 43 or 1311 R: Reverse function is available (page Vol.1-35).
specified, transition wipe or transition mix is performed, respectively.
XY: XY position adjustment with the joystick is available (page Vol.1-34).
• The COMP SINGLE, COMP BOTH, SLIDE, MULTI, and Blinds patterns are the basic patterns with the corresponding MODIFY effects applied as
Z: Z position adjustment with the joystick is available (page Vol.1-34).
shown by the arrow marks (page Vol.2-3). (Example: When SLIDE as the MODIFY effect is applied to the No. 1 basic pattern, the No. 43,
1301, or 1304 pattern is generated.)
*1 Any SLIDE pattern cannot be used for the downstream key.
