Using a Cut
A cut transition immediately and seamlessly replaces the
program image with the preview image, in wipe or dissolve
mode. In PIP mode, it closes or opens the PIP window. No
transition effect is applied to the switch.

If you want to switch using your current transition
effect, press the Take button instead of the Cut button.
To execute a cut when the RCP is in wipe, dissolve, or PIP mode,
1. If necessary, select the preview input.
2. Press the Cut button. The seamless switch takes effect
immediately. The preview image becomes the new
program image (wipe or dissolve mode) or the PIP
window closes or opens (PIP mode).

In PIP mode, you cannot select a cut from the PIP sub-
effects menu; you must press the Cut button to instantly
open or close the PIP window.
Transition Sub-effects
A variety of visual effects are available for transitioning between
the preview and the program displays in wipe and PIP modes.
The sub-effects that are available depend on the display mode in
which the RCP is operating. (See “Setting the Display Mode,”
earlier in this chapter.) You can also set the duration of the
sub-effect.
Sub-effects available in wipe and PIP modes
The sub-effects described in the following sections can be
selected for the transition between the displayed preview and
program inputs in wipe and PIP modes. These sub-effects are
listed on the label shown on the next page, which is located to
the right of the H and V Adjust knobs on the RCP top panel.

The following standard wipes are available:
• From left to right — Soft Right (#02) or Hard Right (#14)
• From right to left — Soft Left (#03) or Hard Left (#15)

curtain wipe can have either hard (sharp) or soft (blurred) edges.
The following curtain wipes are available:
• In from the left and right edges to the center of the
screen — Soft Curtain In (#08) or Hard Curtain In (#20)
