13. Prepare Transition Effect In this section, we will describe about method of performing transition effect by selecting two optionalchannels of each channel giving video effect through above steps.

Select Current Channel, Next ChannelAs described before, current channel and next channel have important meaning in transition effect. Inother words, current channel means a channel output as current broadcasting and next channelmeans a channel to be output as broadcasting when transition effect is completed. We will selectchannel 1 to give the SINGLE PIP effect as current channel and channel 2 to give mosaic effect as nextchannel.

Click Click equivalent to channel 1 as shown in [Fig. IV-38-A] to select the channel 1 as currentchannel, and click click equivalent to channel 2 as shown in [Fig. IV-38-B] to select the channel 2as next channel.

Video Effect and Thumbnail VideoFor the above [Fig. IV-38-A] and [Fig. IV-38-B], you can view that relevant effect does not appearin the thumbnail video and input video appears at it is in spite of giving SINGLE PIP effect andmosaic effect to each channel. In this way the VMX-1104 is designed to always check input statusby showing input video as its is in the thumbnail video in spite of giving any effect the relevantchannel and that results of relevant video effect can be checked by the preview screen or the mainoutput screen.
