PLAYING THE COMPOSITION
To play a composition on the output device:
• Press
PLAY or use the T-BAR.
Moving the
T-BAR from the top-to-bottom in its slot transitions the composition to
Program. Moving it from bottom-to-top dissolves out.
Pressing
PLAY produces a cut from the CURRENT source to the composed screen —
using the
T-BAR produces a dissolve. Pressing PLAY or using the T-BAR again lets you
switch back and forth between the CURRENT source and the composed image.
To reposition the
T-BAR, hold down SHIFT while moving it. Holding down the SHIFT
button temporarily disables the
T-BAR.
NOTE
If you cut to any source or exit from Compose mode, your composed screen will be
lost and cannot be recovered.
