Working with Cut, Fade or Transitions

All the transitions (Cut, Fade or Transistions) are available in the native Matrix Mode. Although the Matrix

Mode is activated, you will be able to perform powerful transition effects seamlessly. It can depend on your

configuration.

The

Smart MatriX has 4 scalers, to understand how your effect will be performed, you need to know how

many scalers are used on your outputs. Don’t forget that you always need one free scaler to perform clean

transition. Example:

1 background live on each output → 2 scalers used →

2 seamless transitions

1 background line on each output + 1 PIP on output #1 → 3 scalers used →

1 seamless

transition available only on output #2 but the output #1 with a background live + 1 PIP

will not be seamless transition

(ie: Fade through black)

1 background frame on each output + 2 PIP on each outputs → 4 scalers used →

seamless transition

(ie: fade through black)

The background Frame and the Logos are not considerated as live layers and are not counted as using a

scaler.
