Dissolving between sources

Select the Main Video Source (13.) by pressing the appropriate channel button. The LED for the channel you
have selected should be lit and you should see that source on the program monitor.

The default transition is fade (The LED should be lit when you turn on the switcher. If a different transition is
selected at power up, press it to deselect.) Move the T-Bar (11.) to the opposite position and watch the fade
happen on the program monitor. You can stop the fade part way through and watch the Main source fade
away.

At this point you can hit Preview (12.), to see the transition on the preview monitor. Then, use the T-Bar to
perform the transition manually.
