An important step in setting up a transition is to identify the CURRENT and NEXT sources. Use
CUT and NEXT to choose the two sources. The MX-4 DV provides feedback in a couple of dif-
ferent ways to confirm your choices.
Selecting Sources and Getting Feedback
The MX-4 DV identifies the CURRENT source by a yellow highlight on the Preview screen and a
steady light beneath the corresponding
CUT button. It identifies the NEXT source by a green
highlight on the Preview screen and a flashing light above the corresponding NEXT button.
If you make CURRENT and NEXT the same source, the source light (between the two rows of
buttons) flashes as though it were just the NEXT source.
Setting the CURRENT Source
In many cases you don’t need to select the CURRENT source because the ending source from the
previous transition automatically becomes the new CURRENT source (refer to the diagram on
page 49). However, if you want to change the CURRENT source, press the corresponding cut but-
ton. For example, pressing
CUT / D makes D the CURRENT source, and the Program monitor
immediately displays D’s signal.
Setting the NEXT Source
To specify the NEXT source, press the corresponding NEXT button. For example, to make D the
next source, press NEXT / D .
The lights between the rows of
CUT and NEXT buttons act as
indicators. A steady light identifies
the CURRENT source (A) – a
flashing light identifies the NEXT
source (C).
Yellow highlights the CURRENT source (A)
