corresponding key (keys 1 to 4). If a
key is currently inserted it will be

When multi-program mode is selected in
the Setup menu (see “Settings for Switcher

MIX: In a background transition, the new
video fades in as the current video
fades out. During the transition, the
overall signal level is maintained at
100%.
In a key transition, the key fades in (for
insertion) or out (for removal).
NAM (non-additive mix): The current and
new video signals are compared, and
the signal with the higher luminance
level is given priority in the output.
The current video is maintained at
100% output for the first half of the
transition as the new video increases
progressively to 100%, then the current
video is progressively reduced from
100% to zero in the second half while
the new video is maintained at 100%.
SUPER MIX: The current video is
maintained at 100% output for the first
half of the transition as the new video is
mixed while increasing progressively
to 100%. The current video is then
progressively reduced from 100% to
zero in the second half while the new
video is maintained at 100%.
PST (preset) COLOR MIX: In the first
transition, the current video is replaced
by the color matte in a mix (dissolve),
then in the second transition the color
matte is replaced by the new video also
in a mix (dissolve).
WIPE: The current video is replaced by the
new video, using the wipe pattern
selected in the Wipe menu.
DME: A wipe type of transition is carried
out, using the DME effect selected in

You can set the transition rate using the
numeric keypad control block, Flexi
Pad control block, or menu.
