SWAPPING SOURCES
This section discusses common ways to switch between source devices.
Simple Cuts
To switch to a specific source, press the CUT button for that source. The CUT buttons
cause the switch to occur almost immediately. For example, press
CUT/A to immedi-
ately switch to that input. You don’t need to press
PLAY or use the T-BAR when you use
the
CUT buttons.
To immediately switch to a colored background, press
CUT/COLOR. MXProDV displays
the currently selected background color on the output. Set the background color to
the color you want before pressing
CUT/COLOR. See “Working with Colors” beginning
on page 53 for further instructions.
When you perform a cut, the Preview screen shows the cut, then holds the picture
for a moment so you can see the result on both the Preview and Program monitors.
You don’t have to wait for the Preview screen to reappear — you can switch to a dif-
ferent source whenever you want.
Swapping Between Two Sources
To switch back and forth between two sources (for example, A to B to A to B, and so
on), use the
PLAY button to automatically switch between the two.
TIP
When using this back-and-forth switching process, you might find it helpful to use the two
channel mode (SHIFT+2) for the Preview screen. See “Display” beginning on page 87.
To switch sources using this method:
1 Press the
CUT button for the source with which you want to begin — for example,
press
CUT/A.
2 Press the
NEXT button for the other source — for example, press NEXT/B.
3 Use the
ARROW keys to highlight and select a transition, or enter the transition num-
ber on the numeric keypad. Press
OK.
