Switching Images Manually (Manual Switching)
During on-air operations, you can switch images at random using the manual
switching function, while in conventional on-air operations the image transition
is fixed.
This function is useful when images from multiple cameras have to be switched
alternately, or when you should switch only one of multiple portions of an
image. The following examples show how this function is used.
Example 1: A shot is switched from camera 1 to camera 2 within a cue.
Example 2: The image in an inset screen is switched while the rest of the image
remains in Picture in Picture mode.
Required preparations
Before using manual switching, do the following:
Assign materials used for manual switching to buttons of the shot box module
(Initial Setup)
Create an Effect Icon for manual switching (Icon Manager)
Set the cue containing the Effect Icon for manual switching, assigning a
maximum of six materials to the Icon, and add the cue to the NRCS rundown
(ELC Plug-in)
For details, see“Preparing for Manual Switching” (page 145).
