MIX EFFECTS PANEL – EFFECTS MODE
M/E – MIX MODE
Let’s start by working with the M/E in MIX mode.
In MIX mode, the M/E works almost exactly the same as the switcher, with row A serving as the Program row,
row B serving as the Preview row, and identical transition controls allowing you to mix between the two.
To start, follow these steps to set up the video switcher and M/E 1 to practice using the M/E in MIX mode.
