DVE Resource Capturing
Capturing a DVE resource for a new key or transition
takes the DVE resources from the following sources
in order of availability:
• Transition area (if a DVE transition is not in
progress).
• Off-air DVE Key (highest key resource is taken
first).
• On-air DVE Key (current DVE Key is converted to
an Auto-Select Key and taken off-air).
• Transition area (if a DVE transition is in progress.
The transition is converted to a dissolve transition).
Field Switch Selection
The field switch selection feature allows you to select
when the switcher triggers a transition from one video
source to the next when you are running in an
interlaced video format. Each interlaced video frame
is composed of an odd field and an even field. You
can specify that transitions are initiated on:
• even fields only
• odd fields only
• either even or odd fields
If you are running in a progressive scan video format,
setting your switcher to transition on even or odd
fields will cause the switcher to only allow transitions
on every second frame.
To set when the switcher initiates transitions:
