Dissolve Conguration submenu
The Dissolve Duration submenu displays and allows you to set the duration of the
dissolve effect that is applied when you are switching the preview output to the
program output or switching among picture-in-picture window inputs.
Use either Adjust knob to select the effect duration from 0.1 seconds to 5.0 seconds
in 0.1 second steps. The default is 0.5 seconds.
Wipe Conguration submenu
The Wipe Configuration submenu displays and allows you to set the type of wipe
that is applied (if the wipe effect is selected) and the duration of the wipe when
you are switching the preview output to the program output. (Select a wipe effect
by pressing the Transition Take button when the Effects Wipe button is lit.) A wipe
causes the new image to appear to unroll over the old image. Each wipe has hard
and soft variations. A soft wipe has a fuzzy leading edge; a hard wipe has a sharp
edge.

The PIP Configuration submenu displays and allows you to set the type of effect
(cut, dissolve, or a variety of wipes) that is applied when you open or close a
picture-in-picture window (the preview output) over the main window (the
program output).
Cut — The PIP window instantly appears or disappears. No transition effect
occurs.
Dissolve — The PIP window fades in and fades out.
Wipe — The PIP window appears to unroll over the main image. The new image
can roll in from the top, bottom, left, right, or center of the window. A soft
wipe has a fuzzy leading edge; a hard wipe has a sharp edge.

Figure 3-10 also shows the types of wipe effects that the ISS can perform when a
PIP window is opened or closed. Although the figure shows the effects for a whole
image, the PIP window opens or closes with the same effect.
Rotate the Adjust [ knob while this submenu is active to select a cut, dissolve,
or a variety of soft (S) and hard (H) edged wipe effects. Rotate the Adjust { knob
to select the duration of the dissolve or wipe effect (cut is immediate, with no
duration). The default effect is soft right.
