Installation guide

• push on and push off any type of key as a transition (choose from 40 different push
types).
Either full screen video or keys can be frozen at the touch of a button. This puts the
power of a frame store into every keyer. If full screen video is frozen, it can be used as a
background to the other keyer in the MLE. Alternatively, a character generator key can be
frozen to free up your character generator for further key generation.
The Squeeze & Tease 2D is very easy to control and most effects can be produced simply
by pressing the Fly Key button and then using the 3-axis joystick. Further tweaks can be
made through the menu system.
All Squeeze & Tease 2D effects can be subsequently bordered using the keyer’s optional
border generator.
Squeeze & Tease 2D wipes also become activated when you buy this option. These are
built in DVE effects that can transition backgrounds or keys. If a key is already being
modified by Squeeze & Tease 2D, the transition effect is added “on top” for the duration
of the transition. Squeeze & Tease 2D transitions are selected by pressing the WIPE and
DVE SEND transition buttons at the same time. The pattern area acts as a “shot box”
where you can select at least 40 types of effects such as push, squeeze, tumble, and swoop.

WARP S1-142A
Squeeze & Tease WARP is the latest in built-in switcher digital
effects from Ross Video. S&T WARP puts a fully loaded 3D DVE
with curvilinear effects into both keyers and the transition area of
an MLE. The picture quality is simply stunning and we think you’ll
agree that this is our best Squeeze & Tease DVE yet! This is a
“MUST HAVE” option!
Squeeze & Tease is an extremely popular option that is sold with almost every Ross digital
switcher. The Synergy 1 can be ordered with one Squeeze & Tease WARP options - putting
a DVE into the two MLE keyers. This incorporates the power of two DVEs into the
switcher.
Fly ANY kind of key! Pressing the FLY KEY button easily activates Squeeze & Tease
WARP allowing you to transform self keys, linear keys, and chroma keys. You are
automatically taken into a comprehensive and intuitive user menu, where you can set up
your desired effects. If you prefer, the 3-axis joystick can also be used to adjust your key’s
parameters.
Still Stores and Frame Stores
The on board, dual channel, 32MB (30 – 512 frames, dependant upon image size) still
store allows you to capture graphics or stills and have them available in S&T at a moment’s
notice. All images load in 1/15 of a second or less! The on-board still store allows you to
quickly grab a full frame or just a small region like a CG “lower third” or a “bug”,
extending your storage capability. All images are stored as frames but can be displayed in
field mode if the capture involves a moving object. Up to 2 channels of still store are
available on a Synergy 1.
