Switching the Program Output Directly
Use [Direct Mode] when you want to switch the program output video instantaneously without checking the preview output video.
However, the behavior will vary depending on the [System Settings] screen > [System] tab > [Flip-Flop] setting and the mode selection button in the [Source] pane (the mode selection button is displayed only when [Flip-Flop] is set to [ON]).
When both [Flip-Flop] is set to [ON] and the mode selection button is set to [PGM] or when [Flip-Flop] is set to [OFF], [Direct Mode] is enabled and the program output is switched directly using the cut effect when a layer is shown/hidden or when the video source is changed.
When both [Flip-Flop] is set to [ON] and the mode selection button is set to [PVW], [Direct Mode] is enabled and the program output is switched directly using the cut effect when a layer is shown/hidden. The program output is not switched if the video is changed.
Note
- To use content being played in a clip player, for example, it is recommended that you disable [Direct Mode] or set the mode selection button to [PVW]. This allows you to check the content in the [PVW] pane before displaying it in the [PGM] pane.
- When a scene recall is executed in the [Scene] pane, the program output video will not be switched. Only the preview output is switched. Check the preview output video settings, then execute a transition using the [CUT] button or [Take] button.
To enable/disable [Direct Mode]
To enable/disable [Direct mode], press the [Direct Mode] button in the transition control pane. When [Direct Mode] is enabled, the [Direct Mode] button lights up and a red frame is displayed around the video in the [PGM] pane.
