Applying and Changing a Switching Effect

You can switch the program and preview inputs using a variety of switching effects. For a description of each effect, and the technique to implement it, see the instructions for the effect in this section. Unless otherwise indicated, the effects are available for both the ISS and SGS switchers.

Cuts

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

To switch using a cut, do the following:

1.

Press the preview input button that corresponds to the

 

input that you want to switch to.

2.

Press the Cut button. The seamless switch takes effect

 

immediately, and the preview image becomes the new

 

program image.

Dissolves

A dissolve causes the program image to fade out while the preview image fades in (figure 3-2). See Implementing an effect, later in this chapter, for information on how to implement a dissolve.
