Cutting by using GPI output

playback devices connected to the switcher.
For example, if you want the background to switch when
display of a clip used by a key reaches full-screen display,
you can proceed as follows.
For information about GPI output settings, see page 166.

Using Transitions to Switch to the
Next Video (Mix and Wipe)
Instead of cutting instantly to the next video, you can
reveal it gradually by applying a variety of video effects.
This switcher provides the following two main types of
transition effects.
• Effects that cause the next video to gradually appear over
the original video (mix)
• Effects in which the next video wipes away the original
video (wipe)
