Cutting Between Sources
• Press CUT/A.
The light below the A button comes on and the Output monitor displays the signal from what-
ever device is plugged into the inputs labeled IN 1. The yellow highlight above preview image
A tells you it is the currently active input.
•
Press CUT/B.
The light below the B button begins flashing (indicating B is both the CURRENT and NEXT
source) and the Output monitor displays the signal from whatever device is plugged into the
inputs labeled IN 2. The yellow highlight above preview image B tells you it is the currently
active input.
• If you have anything plugged into IN 3 or IN 4, press CUT/C and CUT/D, respectively, to
display their signals.
Borders and Solid Color Backgrounds
• Press CUT/BACKGROUND.
The MX-4 DV highlights the speaker, headphone, or color block above the channel indicator,
but does not show the channel letter. The Output monitor shows a solid color screen.
• To change the color, press
BG COLOR.
Each time you press the button the color changes in the background color sample and at the
Output. Continue pressing the button until you see a color you like.
• You can also define a border color and style to use at the edge of most transitions and
PIPs. Press
BORDER COLOR and the color around the background color sample shows
you the new choice. Press
BORDER STYLE to select from different styles for the border.
Setting up a Transition
To set up a transition you need to select the sources you want to use and the transition you want to
use when switching between them. Here’s how to transition from source A to source B using a hor-
izontal wipe.
• Press
CUT/A to set A as the CURRENT source. The MX-4 DV shows a steadily glowing
light below the
CUT button you press.
• Press
NEXT/B to set B as the NEXT source (the one you want to see after the transition
finishes running). The LED light above the button you press flashes to indicate it is the
NEXT source.
• Use the
ARROW keys to highlight the Wipe transition in the Transitions Menu, as shown
in the following example.
When you press a CUT button, the
small light below the button glows
steadily to indicate it is the CURRENT
source.
When you press a NEXT button, the
small light above the button blinks to
indicate it is the NEXT source.
