Functions
Creating Still Montages You can use the Freeze function to transition between a series of still images to create a
"still montage." You can use anywhere from one to four sources.
Procedure

many as four sources for this procedure.
This example starts from a black screen, then transitions to a still image.

Press CUT/COLOR to set the Color Channel as the Current source. You now have
a black screen on the Program monitor.
4 Press NEXT/A to set Channel A as the Next source.

You're now ready to create and transition to the first still image.

7
Enter 1+PLAY to dissolve from black to the first frozen image.
The Next and Current sources swap positions. You're now ready to select the sec-

source to freeze.
