Fading is done by means of the T-bar. The 'Program' out can be switched instantaneously (IE cutting to, without fading between inputs) by pressing one of the four input buttons, or Matte, Pattern, or Black. Crucially there are a couple of buttons near the T-bar which dictate whether the T-bar fades, wipes, or cuts between 'Preview' and 'Program'. | Fading is done by means of the T-bar.

Usually Matte or Pattern should never be broadcasted. Black will be used occasionally; EG at the end of a show, or during severe technical difficulties when a ticker bar should be overlaid from Graphics PC to explain the lack of transmission (grapics PC could alternatively give a slide to explain that there's a problem, this probably looks more professional. | Usually Matte or Pattern should never be broadcasted.

Magic DaVE has a lot of options and features. It can do creative transitions between video inputs (some of which are a bit corny to say the least, but others such as 'wipe' which are good for variety). It can also apply visual effects to the output, such as solarise and probably a lot of others. Each of these features has a wealth of options to control the finer nuances, such as controlling the thickness and colour of the 'wipe' line between sources, or the threshold level of solarising. | Magic DaVE has a lot of options and features.
