Pattern Mix
The Zodiak system can combine the complex wipe pattern generators (
C1
and
C2
), to create a wide variety of customized wipes.
To Create a Pattern Mix:
1.
In the M/E you wish to perform the pattern mix, double press the
Wipe
button in the Transition subpanel on the Main panel. This selects
Wipe
as the next transition type and also opens the Wipes menu with C1
delegated for control.
2.
Select the C1 pattern to be used by touching the
Ptn
data pad in the C1
Generator pane, and then selecting one of the displayed patterns.
3.
Touch the
Mix, Type, Ratio
data pad located to the right of
Ptn
data pad in
the C1 Generator pane. Additional control buttons will appear at the
bottom of the menu and the pattern selection display will delegate to
C2 for selecting the pattern to be mixed (
4.
To preview the effect, delegate the M/E for preview in the Preview
subpanel on the Main panel.
5.
Press the
Trans PVW
button in the Transition subpanel, and move the
lever arm part way. This will display the C1 pattern on preview.
6.
In the C2 pattern selection display in the Wipes menu, touch the
desired pattern to be mixed with C1.
7.
Touch the
Pattern Mix
button in the Mix pane at the bottom of the screen
so its indicator illuminates. The preview monitor will now show the
combined C1 and C2 pattern.
8.
You can select the type of pattern mix with the Mix type buttons (
Mix
,
NAM +
,
NAM –
). The
NAM
buttons are used for And or Or pattern mixing.
9.
You can also adjust the amount each wipe pattern contributes to the
mix with the
Ratio
control soft button at the bottom right of the screen.
At 50%, each pattern contributes equally. At 25%, the other pattern
contributes only 25% to the final pattern.
