DISSOLVE AND FORCE EFFECTS
Dissolve and Force
CXPS Manual Edition 1.08 Operation 81
EXAMPLE
Suppose you want set up the dissolve or force effect on output display 14, which
is connected to channel 14. You have one window on this display, on channel 15.
You would like to dissolve from channel 15 to channel 16 within this window.
Remember, the display’s channel, channel 14, is the second channel on the card,
as shown in Figure 20. Therefore, you would have to follow the three steps
described earlier in this section.
STEP 1: Enter the command HOSTLIST and find the resolution of output display
14 on the host table. If output display 14 has a resolution of 1280x1024, the
corresponding number for that resolution is: 5.
STEP 2: Set the output timing of the first output channel on the card, channel 13,
to that of output display 14 using the SETOT command. The command would be:
SETOT 13 5
STEP 3: Synchronize the output timings of channels 14 (the display), 15, and 16
with the first channel on that card, channel 13. The command would be:
FRAMESYNC 13 14 15 16

DISSOLVE AND FORCE
The Dissolve RS-232/Telnet commands allow the user to dissolve or force one output or
window, while the Simultaneous Dissolve Output (SDO) commands allow the user to
dissolve several outputs or windows simultaneously. With these commands’ capabilities,
the user is able to dissolve or force from window to window or from output to output. A
user may also dissolve or force from a window to its windowing output- this will fade a
window away, revealing the portion of the background that it had previously concealed.
An example of the force effect can be seen in Figure 21 on page 82
NOTE:
Before setting up a dissolve or force effect, the timing of each output
channel involved must be synchronized to the first output channel on
that card. See “Output Timing Synchronization” on page 78.
