Applying Effects while Switching
(Mix/Effect)
Instead of an instantaneous cut, you can gradually switch
from one video to another through the various effects.
Mix (page I-27)
Transition into the next video by gradually overlapping the
existing image.
Effect
You can use Wipe, NAM (non-additive mix), Slide,
Squeeze, Door, Frame In/Out, Flip Tumble, PinP
(picture-in-picture), Mosaic, and Defocus effects.
Example: Wipe (page I-37)
With this effect, the next video for output replaces the
current program video output as if wiping it away.
Example: Frame In/Out (page I-27)
With this effect, the next video is superimposed as a frame
within the current program video output and gradually
expands to replace the current video.
Multiple patterns may be available for certain effects. For details on the
different patterns, see “Effect Pattern List” (page I-37).
