APPENDIX E
HELP FOR MXPRO USERS
This appendix helps Videonics MXPro users make an easy transition to the MX-4. It high-
lights key operational commands from the MXPro that have changed with the MX-4.
The MX-4 offers may new features and expands the capability of some MXPro operations.
You won’t be able to enjoy the full benefits of the new features without reading the other
chapters in this Users Guide.
MX-4 Defaults to S-Video on All 4-Channels
If you use one or more Composite-type devices as input, you need to change the settings for
those devices on the ROUTE screen. Refer to “Route” on page 73 for instructions.
Transitions Organized Differently
All transitions available with the MXPro are also available with the MX-4, but you can
now select from more than 700 different effects. Refer to Appendix A, Transitions List,
for a complete description of what is now available.
Pressing any Transition Category button displays the menu of transitions available in that
category.
The
ARROW keys move you only within the current category. To get to a different one,
press a different Transition Category button (refer to page 50).
Take Bar Operations
The MX-4’s Take Bar (T-BAR) provides added control over transitions by running it in
the direction indicated by the transition direction setting.
Refer to “Operating the T-Bar” on page 58. Chapter 5, Transitions, contains several sec-
tions explaining use of the
T-BAR.
