DVE Transitions
A DVE transition is a gradual transition where one video
signal is replaced with another according to a 2D DVE
pattern.
Keep the following in mind when performing DVE
transitions:
• You must include the background when performing
a DVE transition on a Chroma Key, Self Key, or
Auto-Select Key. If you do not include the
background, a dissolve transition is performed.
• Performing a DVE transition on a DVE Key
without including the background scales the
transition effect to the size of the DVE Key. This
transition does not consume an additional DVE
resource.
• Performing a DVE transition on a DVE Key with
the background included does not scale the
transition effect. This transition consumes the
second DVE resource.
To Set Up a DVE Transition
A DVE transition requires that you select the DVE
pattern and duration for the transition.

RATE in the Effects Memory area for the ME you want
to change the rate for, use the keypad to enter the
new rate, and press Enter.
Tip: If you have a C2X/C2S control panel, press KEY
RATE in the Effects Memory area repeatedly to select
the Keyer you want to set the rate for, use the keypad

MediaWipe Transitions
A MediaWipe allows you to use an animation to cover
a transition. When the transition starts, the switcher plays
the selected animation over top of the background and
keys that are being transitioned. When the cut point is
reached, the switcher performs a cut transition.
It is important to use a full-screen image in the animation
at the cut point so that the cut is not visible on-air.
Keep the following in mind when performing
MediaWipe:
• Although you can select a still image for a media
transition, it is not recommended.
• Only Auto Transition should be used for Media
transitions. Using the fader to perform the transition
manually could result in jumps in the animation.
• The duration of the transition (Time) is set by the
length of the animation and the play speed of the
animation.
