Selecting Transition Effects

Figure 121. Control Panel EFFECTS Button Group

The

Forward

(Wipe Select on some control panels) button is used to deter-

mine the direction for scrolling through the list of available effects.

Follow these steps to select a DVE effect, video sources and audio mode:

1.

Verify that the

DVE

button in the

NEXT TRANSITION

button group is

illuminated. If it is not illuminated, press the

DVE

button.

2.

Press the

DVE Effect

button. If a DVE effect was previously selected and

then deactivated, pressing the

DVE Effect

button will activate the

previously selected DVE effect (the

DVE Effect

button is brightly

illuminated).

3.

Continue pressing the

DVE Effect

button until the desired effect name

appears on the top line of text on the Effects LCD button.

Note

As DVE effects are selected, a preview of the effects can be seen on the PST
monitor.

4.

Select the desired second video source on the AUX bus. The video
source on the PGM bus will also be used in the effect unless the entry
mode for the selected effect is PST.

Note

If the source selected on the PST bus is different than the source on the PGM
bus, the source on the PST bus will be the on-air source at the conclusion of
the DVE effect transition.

The second line of text on the Effects LCD button displays two words:

The first is the video entry mode (PGM, AUX, or PST) for the effect
which is determined by the effect configuration and cannot be
changed.

The second is the effect audio mode. The effect definition deter-
mines which of the five possible audio modes (PGM, AUX, P/A, A/
P, P+A)) are available for the selected effect.
