You can run transitions automatically or manually.

Transitions

Press

. The MX-4 DV runs the transition at a pre-determined speed.

The

MX-4 DV transitions between the two sources using the horizontal wipe transition with

the Output screen showing the results.

At the end of the wipe, B is on the OUTPUT monitor — it has become the CURRENT source. The
yellow highlight above the preview images has changed to reflect that. Furthermore, A is now the
NEXT source and the green highlight has been changed to A.

To wipe back and forth between sources A and B, press

PLAY

repeatedly.

To change the speed at which a transition runs, press the

SPEED

button. The Speed indi-

cator under the transition icon changes.

Press the button again until the desired speed appears. 0 is the slowest speed, 9 is the fast-
est.

Try this with various speeds: Change the speed and press

PLAY

.

Manual

Transitions

Use the

to run transitions and control their speed and direction.

Set up the transition as you would normally. However, instead of pressing

PLAY

, simply move

the

T

BAR

.

The transition begins running as soon as you move the

T

-

BAR

. You can even move back and

forth by moving the

T

-

BAR

in different directions. Give it a try!

Using CUT Transitions

Most video productions use simple cuts a majority of the time. To cut between any two sources (for
example, you could cut from A to C to BACKGROUND to D), use the

CUT

buttons.

There’s a quick way to cut back and forth between two sources using just the

PLAY

button, instead

of having to alternate between two

CUT

buttons:

Press 0 and then

OK

to select transition 0, a simple cut.

Press

PLAY

again and again.

A solid color screen can be used as if it were a separate source. Press the

NEXT

/

BACKGROUND

button and run any transition, or press
