The following terms and definitions are used throughout this guide:
•A “Background” is an unscaled source (typically originating from a computer’s
multi-head graphics card), or a frame grab from a scaled source. Encore provides
two background sources (BG A and BG B), each of which appears at the
system’s lowest priority — visually in back or underneath all other sources.
•A “Destination” is a location to which you can route the output of Encore. A
destination can be configured as:
~a single screen (one projector)
~multiple screens (such as a wide screen application)
~an “Aux” destination (such as a monitor, a PresentationPRO-II or an
ImagePRO system)
~an external processor (such as a ScreenPRO-II)
•A “Key” is an electronic (and visual) process whereby one image is electronically
superimposed over another source or background. Keys are typically used for
titles, logos, and banners.
•A “Layer” is an image display element (such as a PIP, Key or Background) that
has an associated visual priority — either in front (or in back) of another layer.
•A “Mixer” is the electronic circuitry that enables you to transition (and scale) PIPs
and Keys over a background.
•“M/E” (Mix/Effects) is synonymous with “mixer.” Each Encore M/E is capable of
layering either two PIPs, two keys, or one of each.
~When discussing system hardware, the term “M/E” will be used to
describe the Processor’s physical input boards.
