PIP (picture-in-picture) mode

In PIP mode, the preview input is displayed in a small window within the program image. You can select from 25 transition sub-effects (including dissolve, standard, curtain, square, and plus) to use when the PIP window is opening and closing.

NWhile the PIP window is displayed, the Take button continues to blink, and the Picture Controls buttons, the input buttons, the Wipe and Dissolve buttons, and all Adjust knobs are disabled.

Title mode

In title mode, the preview image is superimposed over the program image. You can select a brightness level (0 through 255), which indicates the intensity level at and above which the preview image becomes visible. Any parts of the preview image that are below the set level of intensity become transparent, so that the program image shows through them on the display.

3. Rotate the Adjust knob while the Wipe button is lit to select the intensity level of the preview image that will become transparent in Title mode. If the Wipe button is not lit, press and release it.

NYou cannot apply any transition effects to the preview input when the RCP is in Title mode. The preview image is always displayed or removed with a cut.

The RCP remains in Title mode; to execute another switch with the title effect, press Take again.

NThe T-bar cannot be used when the RCP is in Title mode.

LCD screen. If the Dissolve button is not lit, press and release it.
