PREVIEW MODE OVERVIEW
The two MAV output channels gives two views into the recorded material, a PREVIEW view and
a PROGRAM view. The PROGRAM output is the AIR feed. Only the [
PLAY
] and T-Bar
SLOMO functions control this output; all other transport functions control the PREVIEW output.
The PREVIEW output is used to view marked Cue Points, view clips or playback a camera feed to
find the desired video.
To switch video to the PROGRAM channel from the PREVIEW channel, the [
CUT
], [
MIX
] and
[
WIPE
] functions are used. The duration of the MIX and the pattern and duration of the WIPE are
definable by pressing [
