Cut Transitions

The cut is the most basic transition that can be performed on the switcher. In a cut transition the program
output is immediately changed from one source to another.
A cut transition can be performed directly from the program bus, or using the CUT button in the transition
control block.
Program Bus
When a cut transition is performed from the program bus, only the background will be changed, and all
upstream and downstream keys will maintain their current state.
