DISSOLVE AND FORCE EFFECTS
Dissolve and Force
CXPS Manual Edition 1.08 Operation 83
STEP 2. SET UP THE DISSOLVE OR FORCE EFFECT
To set up dissolve or force effect settings, use the command:
DISSETUP <output #> <from source> <type> <dissolve rate or
force %>
Where:
• <output #> is the output or window whose video is gradually replaced by the video
from <from source>.
It is a number 1-36 corresponding to the output channel connected to the window/output
you would like to select.
• <from source> is the output or window whose video replaces the video from
<output #>.
It is a number 1-36 corresponding to the output channel connected to the window/display
you would like to select, or the number 100 if you would like to fade to black.
• <type> is either “dissolve” or “force”.
Selecting “force” will allow you to partially fade from <output #> to <from
source>, while selecting “dissolve” will allow you to dissolve.
• <dissolve rate or force %> is the number of frames (1-1024) for the dissolve
transition, or, if you choose to force, the percentage of <output #> visible through <from
source>.
A dissolve rate of 1 will create an immediate “cut” transition rather than a dissolve.
STEP 3. DISSOLVE OR FORCE
To perform the dissolve or force effect, issue either the Dissolve or Dissolve FlipFlop
command.
The Dissolve Command
There are two different arguments you can use when issuing the DIS command. The first,
DIS <output #>, can be used to dissolve or fade between the channels in any dissolve
pair. The second, DIS <output #> <delay rate> can only be used to dissolve (not
force) between a window and the windowing display screen when they share the same
output channel. Using this argument, the selected window will dissolve away, and then,
after a set delay period, dissolve back into view.
NOTE:
When dissolving from a window to its background, <output #> and <from
source> will both be the number of the channel connected to the chosen output
display.
