Preview Switch Mode submenu

The Preview Switch Mode submenu lets you set the way the preview output responds to the cut or take operation.

Stay mode — For either a cut or take operation, the video and audio signals on the preview output are applied to the program output (figure 3-15) and also continue on the preview output until another input is selected.

The video input switches between the switcher’s two internal scalers.

Swap mode — For either a cut or a take operation, the preview and program outputs are swapped (figure 3-15). The video and audio signals on the preview output are applied to the program output. The video and audio signals that had been applied to the program output are applied to the preview output.

Each of the switcher’s two internal scalers retains the same video inputs; only the outputs are swapped.

Use either Adjust knob to select Stay or Swap.
