3-2. SWITCHING OPERATIONS
The OCTO-PLUS ™ & OCTO-LOGO ™ allow switching between their inputs with 3 different effects: CUT, FADE COLOR
and CLEAN CUT. The OCTO-FADE ™ & the OCTO-FX ™ allow switching between their inputs with 4 different effects:
CUT, FADE, FADE COLOR and CLEAN CUT. The CUT effect allows switching seamlessly between 2 sources. The
FADE effect allows fading out the displayed source while another source is fading in. The FADE COLOR effect allows
switching between 2 sources with a fading to the color of you choice. The CLEAN CUT allows a clean switching thanks to
a fast freeze of the displayed source.
The OCTO-FADE
™ & the OCTO-FX ™ can also insert text onto the displayed image (TITLE effect).
IMPORTANT: The CUT, FADE and TITLE effects are active in SEAMLESS mode and only between the reference
computer input and the other inputs.

™ and the OCTO-FX ™ only):

• TITLE (available on the OCTO-FADE

The TITLE effect allows to insert text onto an another source (video or computer). This effect is only active between
the reference input and the others inputs.

The transition operates with a fade color.
• The BLACK function is not available when the TITLE effect is active.
• FADE COLOR:
The FADE COLOR allows switching between 2 sources with a fading to a color of you choice. This transition operates
in Fast Switching mode and sometimes in Seamless mode (only when the others effects are not possible). You can
select the color of the fading with the LCD CONTROL menu.
• CLEAN CUT:
The CLEAN CUT allows a clean switching thanks to a fast freeze of the displayed source. Activate the CLEAN
CUT with the LCD menu (CONTROLS > transition > clean cut).
NOTE: The FRAME is not available when the CLEAN CUT is activated.
