Detail adjustments

To apply a horizontal or vertical filter to improve the sharpness of an image, do the following:

1.	Press and release the Detail button. The button lights.
2.	Various levels of detail adjustment are available,
	depending on the input signal format.
	•	To change the vertical filter (if available), rotate the V
		adjustment knob. Choose the filter that provides the
		most improvement to the image detail.
		The availability of some filters depends on the type of
		The availability of some filters depends on the type of
		switcher that is connected. Check your switcher’s user
		manual for to find out if this feature is supported.
	•	To change the horizontal filter (if available), rotate
		the H adjustment knob. Choose the filter that
		provides the sharpest image.

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.

Changing the duration of a dissolve

To change the duration of a dissolve, do the following:

1.	Press the Dissolve button. The Dissolve button lights.
2.	Rotate the Adjust knob next to the buttons. A duration
	menu appears on the LCD screen, showing the current
	duration selected for the dissolve. Select any dissolve
	duration time from 0.2 to 5.0 seconds.

Wipes (SGS only)

The different types of wipes available on the RCP 2000 are described in this section.

Standard wipe

A standard wipe 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 (fuzzy) edges.

The preview image can have the following transitions (see figure 3-3):

•From left to right

•From right to left

•From top to bottom

•From bottom to top
