Transition Type
Adding a T
RANSITION
T
YPE
object to a panel allows operators to choose the
transition style that is used when the device’s A/B mixer moves the
program output between two SDI video input streams.
Which channels and devices are associated with the Transition Type
object is determined by setting its D
EVICES
and C
HANNELS
properties.
The Transition Type object can also be configured to be in an armed state,
which means that the transition type can be pre-loaded and ready to go to
air when a Take command is triggered (i.e.
is clicked).
When the Transition Type object’s A
RMABLE
property is to T
RUE
, the wipe
transitions are removed and only the Fade transitions can be selected.
Note: The rate at switch the transition occurs is not a property of the
Transition Type object. Operators set the transition rate using a
T
RANSITION
R
ATE
object on the panel.
Transition Rate
The T
RANSITION
R
ATE
object produces a slider or an Up Down box that
allows operators to set the fade/wipe transition rate from 1 and 200 fields,
or 0 to indicate a cut transition.
Which channels and devices are associated with the Transition Rate
object is determined by setting its D
EVICES
and C
HANNELS
properties.
The S
LIDER
A
PPEARANCE
property determines if the control is a slider
(T
RUE
) or an Up Down box (F
ALSE
). If the S
LIDER
A
PPEARANCE
property is
set to T
RUE
, the object’s O
RIENTATION
property determines whether the
slider is horizontal or vertical.
Virtual GPI
The V
IRTUAL
GPI object allows operators to control up to 18 GPI triggers
that are configured for the specified device(s).
Which channels and devices are associated with the Virtual GPI object is
determined by setting the object’s D
EVICES
and C
HANNELS
properties.
Map the Virtual GPI buttons to the device’s GPIs using the drop-down in
the GPI L
IST
property.
The Virtual GPI object can also be configured to be armed using the
A
RMABLE
for more information).
