DVE Transition Settings
The graphic transition is a popular transition that uses the DVE and moves a graphic across the screen over
a background transition. For example, the graphic wipe moves a graphic over a horizontal wipe, essentially
replacing the wipe border. A graphic mix spins the graphic across the screen over a mix transition. Graphic
transitions are perfect for wiping the station logo or spinning a football across the screen revealing a new
background. Graphic transitions use a special keyer built into the transition block, leaving all of the upstream
and downstream keyers available for compositing the output. The following section explains how to build
and perform graphic transitions.
The above image sequence provides an example of the program output for a graphic wipe transition.
Performing a Graphic Transition
To perform a graphic transition on the software control panel
Step 1. Select the DVE transition style button in the transition control block.
If the DVE is being used in an upstream key, the DVE transition style button will be unavailable
for selection until the key is taken off air and off next transition. Refer to sharing DVE resources
below for more information.
Step 2. Expand the transition palette and select the DVE transition type.
Step 3. From the graphic effects: buttons, select one of the graphic effects buttons.
Step 4. Select the fill source and key source for the graphic from the drop down list.
Step 5. Adjust the key parameters if required.
Step 6. Perform the transition as an auto transition or manual transition from the transition control
block.
