To switch sources using this method:
1 Press the CUT button for the source with which you want to begin — for example, press CUT/A.
2 Press the NEXT button for the other source — for example, press NEXT/B.
3 Use the
ARROW keys to highlight and select a transition, or enter the transition number on the
numeric keypad. Press
OK.
When you need a very quick switch between sources — such as when doing a live broadcast of
two individuals debating — use the Cut transition (zero).
4 Roll the input sources.
5 To run the transition, press
PLAY. At this point, the MX-4 DV switches the sources — source
A becomes the NEXT source, and source B becomes the CURRENT source.
6 To switch between sources A and B, press
PLAY again.
Working with Colors
Common uses for color include solid colored backgrounds and colored borders around objects. So,
you need to know how to choose colors and identify those you’ve chosen.
The MX-4 DV gives each color a unique number ranging from 0 (zero) to 9. The following table
defines these colors and their code numbers.
The maximum number of colors in the MX-4 DV palette is ten. You can change nine of the ten col-
ors. You cannot change color 0 (black).
