Applying a Switch
You can switch the program and preview inputs using a variety
of techniques. For a description of each technique, see the
instructions for the technique.
Applying a cut
A cut seamlessly replaces the program image with the preview
image. No effect is applied to the switch. As soon as the Cut
button is pressed, the switch occurs.
To switch using a cut, do the following:
1. Press the preview input button that corresponds to the
input that you want to switch to.
2. Press the Cut button. The seamless switch takes effect
immediately, and the preview image becomes the new
program image.
Applying other effects
If you are using the RCP 1000 with an ECP 1000, all
transition buttons except the Cut button are disabled.
All effect switching must be done through the
ECP 1000.
Available effects
The SGS 408 provides a wide variety of effects:
• A dissolve causes the program image to fade out while the
preview image fades in (figure 3-2).
