CQS Menu
Set the following options in the CQS menu:

CQS Transition Mode Setup
Set Transition Mode to Swap ( default ) or Copy depending on which input sources are to be routed to
the preview and program output after the transition.

If you use Swap , the source at the Program output will be switched to Preview output and
the source at the Preview output will be switched to the Program output.

If you use Copy , the source at the Preview output will be switched to the Program output
and the Preview output will remain the same.

Transition Rate
Select the transition duration. Set to Fast, Medium, or Slow. Time used for fast, medium and slow is
configurable from 0 to 4 seconds. If 0 is used, the transition effect will be a ‘Cut’.

Transition Type
Select the transition type for the program output by picking one of Cut, V Fade, Cut Fade, Fade Cut,
X Fade.
Notes:

Audio transitions are always synced to video transitions.

Non PCM audio transitions are performed as a cut.

PCM audio requires 1 frame to fade in or out of a video cut.

The duration of PCM audio transitions is 2 frames for the zero frame ‘Cut’ transition.

For Cut-Fade , audio fades out 1 frame before the video cut; fade in duration is as specified.

For Fade-Cut and (non-zero frame) Cut , audio fades in 1 frame after the video cut.

With V-Fade and X-Fade , the audio transition occurs at the middle of the transition.

With all other transition types, the audio transition occurs at the video cut.

Take Policy
