Processing Sequence for Graphic Elements and Layers
Types of Sequences
Processing sequence for graphic elements and layers upon rendering:
| Sequence | Description |
|---|---|
| Within composition | The higher the graphic element is placed in Graphics Editor Elements, the closer to the viewer it will be placed upon the composition playout after rendering. One layer of the graphic composition may contain only one graphic element (PIP, Text, TextFeed, Counter, or Rectangle). Yet the number of layers within one graphic composition is limited only by the server platform capacity. However, one composition rarely uses over 12 layers. In NewsCut, the higher is track placement on the timeline, the closer to the audience it will be after rendering. |
| Within module | Program Channel and Playout allow processing several layers simultaneously. The processing sequence of these layers is strictly defined:
|
| Between modules | Defined by the switching sequence of software modules. The closer the module is to the path output, the closer its layers will be to the viewer. Modules are usually positioned in the following way: Program Channel→Playout. |
