Applying a Switch
You can switch the program and preview inputs using a variety of techniques. For a description of each technique, see the instructions for the technique.
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 Cut button is pressed, the switch occurs.
To switch using a cut, do the following:

ECP 1000.
