TIP Typically, for a graphic transition, the source would normally be a graphic
loaded in a media player. By default, when you select a media player for the
fill source, the key source will automatically select the media player key
channel and set pre multiplied key to 'on'. This means a graphic with a key
matte embedded in the alpha channel will automatically be selected by the
switcher. You can disable pre multiplied key and change the key source if you
want to use a separate media file on a different media player, or a different
input source.
3 Adjust the key parameters in the LCD menu if required.
4 Press the 'auto' button to perform the transition as an auto transition, or use the
transition slider for a manual transition.

unavailable for selection until the key is taken off air and off next transition. Refer to
'sharing DVE resources' later in this section for more information.
2 Expand the transition palette and select the DVE transition type. Use the previous
or next arrows to select a different DVE type. The 'effects' graphic wipe icon will be

Description of graphic wipe parameters
Rate Rate specifies the length of the transition in seconds and frames. The rate can
be adjusted using the rate knob or by entering a number on the number pad and
pressing the set rate button.
Direction The normal direction moves the graphic from left to right, and the reverse
direction changes the direction so that it moves the graphic from right to left.
FlipFlop When FlipFlop mode is toggled on, the transition changes between normal and
reverse every time the transition is executed. The ‘Normal’ or ‘Reverse’ direction
settings indicates the direction of the next transition.
