Masking options:

The masking options allow removing (masking) part on the clip content, based on either a color or
brightness characteristic. This process is also known as color or luminance 'keying'. As for the copy modes,
the masking settings are only applied to cells when running on
deck B, since deck B is on top of deck A. When luminance or
chrominance keying are activated, two knobs underneath the
selection become active.
characteristics (center and width) of a band reject filter that will
be applied either on the brightness levels or hue of the clip's
image. Any luminance or color belonging in that zone will be
made transparent and A will be seen through.
The default and leftmost mode disables keying. In this case, the center and width knobs are disabled as
well.
Luminance keying allows making a range of brightness values transparent. For example, if you
put the center parameter all the way to the maximum, you will make all bright values (white)
transparent and see the content of deck A underneath. The center defines the range of gray
levels to be discarded.
Chrominance keying allows making a color range transparent. The center knob position defines
what color will be rejected and the width will define how spread the range of color around the
center value will be removed. I

Playback options:

The playback options affect the way the clip will be played. There are three modes: One Shot, Loop and
Ping-Pong.
In One Shot mode, the movie plays once when triggered and stops if it
reaches the end.
In Loop mode, the clip will continuously loop. This is the default mode.
In Ping-Pong mode, the clip will loop alternatively playing forward, then backward, then forward again...

Effect options:

The effect options on the right side allow setting up the default
values for the effect parameters. These values will be recalled
automatically each time the cell is triggered. They can always be
changed live using the deck effect parameters (see deck section) but
the default values set here will come back each time the cell is re-
triggered. To 'copy' the current live settings to the default
parameters for that cell (so that they are remembered next time you trigger the cell), press down on the
controller's BANK knob for the selected deck.
Text settings:
When using texts from the source browser, you can alter the text displayed by modifying it in the text input
located in the cell parameter panel.

Bank import/export:

As well as being able to load and save the whole content of you performance by going to the file menu, you
can also import and export single banks by holding down right-click over a cell and selecting the entry from
a pop up menu (see more explanation in the user interface description). This feature makes it easy to load
groups of pre-defined visuals during your performance. It allows you to save an unlimited number of pre-
configured sets of clips and effects and recall them without having to stop the performance at any time.

Double monitoring:

To do a proper VJ performance, it is more convenient to use video cards that support double monitors. That
way, you can project the output of the mixer to your second monitor (linked to a projection system for
example) and still access the user interface alongside the controller on the primary monitor. To set up
double monitoring within NuVJ, you first need to make sure your system is configured to work with two
independent screen outputs (and not using cloning where both adapter outlets output the same image).
Once you have set up your system, start NuVJ and go to the Preferences dialog (File > Preferences). In the
Display section select which monitor you would like to use for the full screen output. Once that is done, you
can enter full screen mode by going to Display > Toggle Fullscreen or by pressing CTRL+A (command+A on
Mac). You can also exit full screen mode by pressing CTRL+A (command+A on Mac).
