Applying a Switch

You can switch the program and preview inputs using a variety

button is pressed, the switch occurs.
To switch using a cut, do the following:
1. Press the preview input button that corresponds to the
input that you want to switch to.

immediately, and the preview image becomes the new
program image.

transition buttons except the Cut button are disabled.
All effect switching must be done through the
ECP 1000.
