Selecting and switching an input

Select and switch an input as follows:

1.	Click the Video/Audio, Video, or Audio button to select both the video and
	audio planes, the video plane only, or the audio plane only for switching
	(audio follow or audio breakaway).
2.	Select an input for the preview or program monitor by clicking the desired
	input button in either the Preview or the Program row. After the RGB delay
	(for the preview output only), the selected input is displayed on the preview
	or program monitor. The selected input button turns blue to indicate a video
	and audio or video only selection, or yellow to indicate an audio selection.
	The RGB delay is user-selectable. See “Changing the RGB delay or dissolve
	speed”, below.
3.	When you are ready to display the preview image on the program monitor,
	click either the Cut or Dissolve button.

If you click Cut, the preview image is immediately and seamlessly switched to the program output.

If you click Dissolve, the preview image is seamlessly switched to the program image and the switch is masked by a dissolve effect. The dissolve effect’s duration is user-selectable, see “Changing the RGB delay or dissolve speed”, below.

Changing the RGB delay or dissolve speed

The RGB delay interval defines how long the screen is blanked when you are selecting a new input for the preview monitor. The dissolve speed specifies the length of the dissolve effect that can be used when switching the preview monitor image to the program monitor.

Change the RGB delay or dissolve speed as follows:

1.	Click in either the RGB Delay or Dissolve Speed field. A drop-down scroll
	box appears (figure 6-3).

2.	Click and drag the slider or click the scroll up ( ) or scroll down ( ) button
	until the desired rate is visible.
3.	Click the desired variable.
