Basic Operation
This section describes how to switch (transition) video inputs and mix audio inputs from external sources.
If a fade is applied to the final output, the video is not output to a projector or other output devices. Adjust the [OUTPUT FADE] dial to its center
position. For information about fades in final output, refer to “Applying a Fade to Final Video Output” (p. 24).
Using the Touch Panel to Switch the Video
1. Display the input from the sources.
At [MONITOR], press the [INPUT] button. The input from the respective source is displayed at [1] through [4]. When the VR-3 starts
up, [1] is selected, and a red border is displayed around the [1] section.

transition effect is applied. If you want to apply a transition effect, select [MIX] or [WIPE].
