Video Operations

Switching the Video

Here’s how to switch between input video while applying an eect, and nal output.
About the operation mode for video transitions
There are two operation modes for switching the video on the PGM/A bus and PST/B bus: the “PGM/PST mode” and the “A/B mode.”
* With the factory settings, the operation mode is set to A/B mode.
Mode Explanation
When the video fader is operated, the video at the bus position toward which the video fader is ipped
A/B
PGM/PST
always becomes the nal output.
When the [CUT] or [AUTO] button is operated, the video on the A bus and the video on the B bus become the nal output in alternation.
The video on the PGM bus is always the nal output.
The video on the PST bus is preset video (the video to be output next).
Operating the video fader or the [CUT] or [AUTO] button makes the nal video output and the preset video change places.
Setting the Operation Mode
1. Press the [MENU] button0”SYSTEM”0select
“PANEL OPERATION,” and press the [VALUE] knob.
Using Mix/Wipe to Switch Video
When A/B mode
The video at the end to which the video fader is ipped is always the nal output.

Video Operations
Switching the Video Automatically (Auto Switching)
The video of INPUT 1–8 or of preset memories can be switched automatically (the auto switching function). You can make operation easier by letting the video switch automatically.
Operation modes for auto switching
Auto switching provides three operation modes that you can select as appropriate for your situation: “input scan,” “preset memory scan,” and “BPM sync.”
Switching at a specied interval (Input scan)
This automatically switches the INPUT 1–8 video when a specied length of time elapses.
You can change the duration that each video is shown, and also switch randomly between videos.
This is convenient when you want to switch between video signals of multiple cameras, for example when live-streaming a singer­instrumentalist.
* Channels that have no video input are skipped.
Switching preset memories (Preset memory scan)
This automatically switches between preset memories 1–8.
The video and audio are switched according to the settings that are saved in each preset memory.
* Preset memories in which no settings have been saved are
skipped.
Switching in synchronization with the BPM (BPM sync)
This automatically switches the video at specied BPM intervals.
This lets you create video transitions that are synchronized with the music, for example when live-streaming a DJ performance or a musical performance.
