TIP Typically, for a graphic transition, the source would normally be a graphic loaded
in a media player. By default, when you select a media player for the fill source, the key
source will automatically select the media player key channel and set pre multiplied
key to 'on'. This means a graphic with a key matte embedded in the alpha channel will
automatically be selected by the switcher. You can disable pre multiplied key and
change the key source if you want to use a separate media file on a different media
player, or a different input source.

Press the auto button to perform the transition as an auto transition, or use the fader bar for
a manual transition.
Graphic wipe parameters
Rate
Rate specifies the length of the transition in seconds and frames.
The rate can be adjusted using the rate knob or by entering a number on the
number pad and pressing the set rate button.
Normal
The normal direction moves the graphic from left to right.
Reverse
Reverse changes the direction so that it moves the graphic from right to left.
FlipFlop
When FlipFlop mode is toggled on, the transition changes between normal
and reverse every time the transition is executed. The 'Normal' or 'Reverse' light
indicates the direction of the next transition.
Fill Source
The fill signal is the graphic used to move across the top of the transition.
Key Source
The key signal is a grayscale image that defines the region in the graphic that will be
removed so that the fill signal can be correctly stacked on top of the wipe.
Graphic wipe images
The graphic wipe feature requires a static graphic that is used as a moving border for a
horizontal wipe. This graphic should be a vertical 'banner' type graphic that is no more than
25% of the total screen width.
Graphic wipe screen width requirements
If the switcher is operating at 1080p then the graphic should be no wider than
1080p
1,920 pixels.
If the switcher is operating at 720p than the graphic should be no wider than
720p
320 pixels.
