MX-4 transitions between the two sources using the horizontal wipe transition with the
Output screen showing the results.
At the end of the wipe, B is on the OUTPUT monitor — it has become the CURRENT source. The
yellow highlight above the preview images has changed to reflect that. Furthermore, A is now the
NEXT source and the green highlight has been changed to A.

To wipe back and forth between sources A and B, press
PLAY
repeatedly.

To change the speed at which a transition runs, press the
SPEED
button. The Speed indi-
cator under the transition icon changes.

Press the button again until the desired speed appears. 0 is the slowest speed, 9 is the fast-
est.

-
BAR
. You can even move back and
forth by moving the

-
BAR
in different directions. Give it a try!
Using CUT Transitions
Most video productions use simple cuts a majority of the time. To cut between any two sources (for
example, you could cut from A to C to BACKGROUND to D), use the
CUT
buttons.
There’s a quick way to cut back and forth between two sources using just the
PLAY
button, instead
of having to alternate between two
CUT
buttons:
•
Press 0 and then
OK
to select transition 0, a simple cut.
•
Press
PLAY
again and again.
•
A solid color screen can be used as if it were a separate source. Press the
NEXT
/
BACKGROUND
button and run any transition, or press
CUT
