Applying a Switch

You can switch displays using a variety of techniques. For a description of each technique, see the instructions for the technique in this section.

Applying a cut

A cut seamlessly replaces the program image with the preview image. No effect is applied to the switch. As soon as the Take button is pressed, the switch occurs.

To switch using a cut, do the following:

1.Press the Cut button.

2.Press the screen selection buttons that correspond to the screens you want to switch. For example, if you want to apply the cut to screen 2, press screen selection button 2. If you want to apply the cut to screens 1 and 3, press screen selection buttons 1 and 3.

You can select a screen selection only if it is backlit.

3.Press the Take button. The seamless switch takes effect immediately, and the preview image becomes the new program image.

To switch using a dissolve, do the following:

1.Press the Dissolve button.

2.Press the screen selection buttons that correspond to the screens you want to switch. For example, if you want to apply the dissolve to screen 2, press screen selection button 2. If you want to apply the dissolve to screens 1 and 3, press screen selection buttons 1 and 3.

You can select a screen selection only if it is backlit.

3.If you want to use a duration other than the default duration, turn the Adjust knob until the desired duration appears on the LCD menu’s default screen.

4.Press the Take button. The dissolving switch begins immediately and is finished in the time specified by the duration, and the preview image becomes the new program image.

Applying a title

A title can have two effects: window or key. The actual effect is determined by the ECP title setting on the SGS 408 (see chapter 3 of the SGS 408 User’s Manual).

A title window causes a predefined box in the program image to dissolve to reveal the preview image (figure 3-7). The effect is as if the preview image were located behind the program image, and a window in the program image opens to show the preview image.

Figure 3-7 — A title window effect example

A title key causes any portion of the preview image which is over half intensity (.35V) to be displayed with the program image.
