EFX
(Effects)
:
Limited effects can be applied to the video signal using the EFX button, such as: Freeze, Fade to
Black, Video Noise, and Synchronized Snow. The EFX button (when pressed alone) toggles the
selected effect ON or OFF.
Pressing EFX while holding down the MENU ENABLE button will open the EFX control menus.
Pressing NEXT or PREV (previous) will step through the EFX control menus.
Menu:
EFX Effect
This menu selects the type of effect the EFX button will produce.
Options are: Freeze Frame, Random Noise, Small Blocks, Large Blocks, and fade to Black.
Menu:
EFX Mixer
This menu controls the transparency of the selected effect by adjusting the mixture between the EFX
source (noise, block, or black) and the video signal. 0% = no EFX source and 100% video, 100% =
100% EFX source and no video.
Range of adjustment is 0 – 100% (value ignored when
Freeze Frame
is the selected effect).
Use the +/- buttons to adjust in 10% increments.
Use the Knob to adjust in 1 % increments.
Menu:
EFX Transition Time
This menu is used to set the time interval for the selected effect to transition from OFF to ON,
or ON to OFF. The EFX indicator will flash during the transition.
Range of adjustment is 0 – 240 frames (value ignored when
Freeze Frame
is the selected effect).
Use the +/- buttons to adjust in 10 frame increments.
Use the Knob to adjust in 1 frame increments.
EFX Programming Examples:
Synchronized Snow:
This will produce a full frame 100% noise signal (“snow”)
EFX Effect = Random Noise Generator
EFX Mixer = 100% (all noise + no video)
Transition Time = 0 (instant ON/OFF)
Fade to Black:
This will produce a Fade to Black in 1 second.
EFX Effect = Fade to Black
EFX Mixer = 100% (all black + no video)
Transition Time = 30 (30 frames)
Video Noise:
This will add noise (“snow”) to the video signal.
EFX Effect = Random Noise Generator
EFX Mixer = 10% (noise + video)
Transition Time = 100 (noise fades in and out)
Note: Mixer can be manually adjusted once EFX is ON
to vary the amount of noise in the picture.
Freeze Frame:
This will freeze the video signal.
EFX Effect = Freeze Frame
EFX Mixer = <n/a> (value ignored)
Transition Time = <n/a> (value ignored)
