[. . . ] The selected Sub Source button (illuminated Yellow) only identifies which video input source will be next shown when using the T-Bar. Wiping between sources Select the transition wipe button that you wish to use. There are in total 11 different Wipe styles and the corresponding transition icon will be displayed in the bottom left corner of the Preview monitor when you press it. The last button on the bottom row (see above picture) with a checker board marking is the Dissolve/Fade button. At this point you could also press the Preview button, to see a sample of the selected transition on the Left hand HS-550 Preview monitor. This Preview is for confirmation only and is not sent to the main outputs or the Program monitor. Once this Preview is finished the monitor will return to the Quad view. In a wipe transition, the change from one source to another happens along a predefined edge. It is like one source image is being pulled back or pushed on top of another source image. Depending on the button selected the starting point and direction of the wipe is changed. Select a main source and sub source, select a Wipe, or Fade from the buttons above, press the "Preview" button and see what it would like. Then, perform the actual transition manually by moving the T-bar up and down. See the next page for a list of wipe transitions and variations. 12 List of Wipe transitions and parameters (suitable for photocopying) Any Wipe works in conjunction with the Border control. A represents the current source and B represents the sub source that will replace A during the transition. Vertical wipe, from middle out to left and right sides at the same time.

Dissolve or Fade from Main source to Sub source 13 Effects There are two places on the HS-550 where you can add effects: in the Transition Effects section (15. ) and in the Video Effects section (5-8. ). Some of these work on a single source, and some need two or four sources to work. Select a Main Video source and try the following: In the Transition Effects section, select the WIPE effect you wish to use. You could also add a border to the edge by turning on the BORDER effect (10. ). In the Video Effects section, try the Quad effect (5. ). You can see all 4 input sources showing on the program monitor at the same time. No other cuts or transitions can be performed until the Quad effect is toggled off. For Split effect (6. ), select a sub source for right hand side window. You will see Main source on left hand side, and Sub source on right hand side. Assuming you have valid inputs on Channel 1 and 2, select Channel 1 as the Main Source and Channel 2 as the Sub Source. When you engage the effect by pressing the PIP button (and verifying that the LED on the button is lit), on the program monitor you will have Channel 1 as the Main Source and Channel 2 as a smaller PIP window inset.

A standard 3. 5mm Mic / Headset can be used, or a Motorola type 2. 5mm Mic / headset could be used if preferred. External Tally LED Socket An external tally display (TD-1) can be connected to the ITC-100SL. This enables the tally light to be positioned in a more convenient place, such as on top of the camera.
