CLIPDEKO
The ClipDeko option enables Deko to record or import and play digital video
clips, with or without key. You can edit, loop, trim, and browse these clips. You
can play animated backgrounds without a separate disk recorder. And you can
associate any clip to any Deko graphic.
ClipDeko hardware supports DV25 compression as well as uncompressed YUV
and RGB. You can import targa-based AVI files from standard applications such
as Adobe AfterEffects and 3D Studio Max.
Once recorded or imported, clips are organized alphabetically by clip name in a
database. You can access clips in 2 ways:
The Clip Editor allows you to import, record, play and, loop your clips, as well as
assign key clips to fill clips, and align a fill clip with its associated key.
The Clip Browser offers thumbnail images for fast access as well as clip
association control for linking your clips to specific graphics.
