3. If necessary, select a preview input.

4. To execute a switch with the dissolve effect, press the Take button, which blinks while the transition is in progress.

Slide the T-bar up or down to control the dissolve duration manually.

Using a Cut

A cut transition immediately and seamlessly replaces the program image with the preview image, in wipe or dissolve mode. In PIP mode, it closes or opens the PIP window. No transition effect is applied to the switch.

NIf you want to switch using your current transition effect, press the Take button instead of the Cut button.

To execute a cut when the RCP is in wipe, dissolve, or PIP mode, 1. If necessary, select the preview input.

2. Press the Cut button. The seamless switch takes effect immediately. The preview image becomes the new program image (wipe or dissolve mode) or the PIP window closes or opens (PIP mode).

NIn PIP mode, you cannot select a cut from the PIP sub- effects menu; you must press the Cut button to instantly open or close the PIP window.

Transition Sub-effects

A variety of visual effects are available for transitioning between the preview and the program displays in wipe and PIP modes. The sub-effects that are available depend on the display mode in which the RCP is operating. (See “Setting the Display Mode,” earlier in this chapter.) You can also set the duration of the sub-effect.

Sub-effects available in wipe and PIP modes

The sub-effects described in the following sections can be selected for the transition between the displayed preview and program inputs in wipe and PIP modes. These sub-effects are listed on the label shown on the next page, which is located to the right of the H and V Adjust knobs on the RCP top panel.

Standard wipes

A standard wipe sub-effect causes the preview image to appear to unroll over the program image horizontally or vertically. A standard wipe can have either hard (sharp) or soft (blurred) edges.

The following standard wipes are available:

•From left to right — Soft Right (#02) or Hard Right (#14)

•From right to left — Soft Left (#03) or Hard Left (#15)

•From top to bottom — Soft Up (#04) or Hard Up (#16)

•From bottom to top — Soft Down (#05) or Hard Down (#17)

Left to right	Right to left	Bottom to top	Top to bottom
(#02 or #14)	(#03 or #15)	(#04 or #16)	(#05 or #17)

Curtain wipes

A curtain wipe causes the preview image to appear to unroll over the program image in two directions simultaneously. A curtain wipe can have either hard (sharp) or soft (blurred) edges.

The following curtain wipes are available:

•In from the left and right edges to the center of the screen — Soft Curtain In (#08) or Hard Curtain In (#20)

•Out from the center to the left and right edges of the screen — Soft Curtain Out (#09) or Hard Curtain Out (#21)
