Transition Types
The DPM, Mix, and Wipe transition type buttons select what type of transition
will be used on the elements selected above for the next transition. Pressing
these buttons does not change the appearance of the current output of the
switcher. Only one transition type can be selected at a time.
•The
DPM button is only available for Key Transitions. If the Background
is selected for next transition in combination with keyers, the back-
ground will perform an add/mix/wipe transition, depending on the
last transition type selected prior to the DPM selection. This type will
be indicated in the display above the
BGD button.
The behavior of a
DPM Key Transition is as follows:
In a mix/wipe transition the
Lever Arm or the Auto Trans control the video
amount of the keyer. In a DPM transition the
Lever Arm or the Auto Trans
control the timeline of the DPM effect selected for this keyer.
When the key was off at transition start, the video amount of the keyer is
fully switched on at transition start, allowing to fly the key in.
When the key was on at transition start, the video amount of the keyer is
fully switched off at the end of the transition, allowing to fly the key out.
Note The DPM effects used for transitions should be build in a way that the last
keyframe is out of screen or size zero.
•The Mix button selects a mix as the next transition.
•The
Wipe button selects a wipe as the next transition. Each wipe is pre-
defined using either the complex wipe generators or the Utility buses
as the wipe shape. Wipe pattern selections are made in the Wipe menu.
Note Additive Mix transitions, intended to be selected with the Add button, are not
supported in v6.8.6 software. The Add button will illuminate when pressed,
but no change in operation results.
