Important DVE Effect Information
Some important things to keep in mind with respect to effects:
• Wipe Effects and DVE Effects can be active simultaneously. Both a wipe
and a squeeze can take place at the same time with the wipe taking
place within the PGM Effect window.
• If a DVE effect is defined with the PGM enter mode and you want
to transform the current PGM source into the PGM effect window
without changing the source, the same source should be selected on
the PST bus. If a different source is on the PST bus, that source will
occupy the squeeze window at the end of the transition.
Performing Transitions and Hot Takes
To transform the current on Program (PGM) or Air source without going to
black, the crossfade (X-fade) transition should be the selected transition
type.
You can “hot take” to a new source in the PGM effect window by pressing
the desired source LCD button on the PGM bus. You can also “hot take” to
a new source in the AUX effect window by pressing the preferred source
LCD button on the AUX bus.
Changing the Exit Mode Results
The Enter mode will become the default Enter mode for the next time the
effect is activated when an exit mode that is not the default mode for that
effect is used to exit.
If you want to return to the configured default modes for a particular effect,
select another effect and then return to the preferred effect that you want to
make the default.
See Active DVE Effects on page 197 for more information on effect exit
modes.
Deactivating a DVD Effect
You cannot exit a DVE effect by deactivating the effect. DVE effects are ter-
minated only by first selecting an appropriate exit mode and then transi-
tioning.
Do one of the following steps to deactivate a DVE effect so that it is not
included in subsequent transitions:
• Press the Effects LCD button ( Figure 123 on page 196 ).
Note This cancels both DVE effects and wipe effects if they are active. If you want
to cancel only DVE effects, press the Wipe Effect button to re-enable wipe
effects.
