Video Switching
Overview
This unit allows you to apply various effects when
switching video, and compose images using keys.
Adjustments and configurations during video switching
are performed from the following menus.
In addition, this unit includes three video composition

Setting the Transition
Type
You can specify the transition type that is used when you
perform effect transitions.
You can select any of the following transition types.
Wipe: Use a wipe to switch from the current output image
to a new image.
NAM (Non-Additive Mix): Compare the current image
and new image signals, and gives priority to the signal
with the highest luminance level in the output.
For the first half of the transition, the current image is
maintained at 100% and NAM is gradually performed
for the new image. At the halfway point, NAM is
performed for both images which are maintained at
100%. In the second half, the new image is maintained
at 100% and NAM is performed while the current
image is gradually reduced.
DME (Digital Multi Effects): Use DME effects to
switch the image currently being output in a manner
that appears as if it is being wiped (DME wipe).
