You can switch between videos by fading-in/out and can adjust desired transition time using the TIME knob.

SWITCHER MODE
Roland XS-1HD mode lets you use a cross-dissolve to seamlessly transition between sources, or use PinP or key-compositing. A multi-view input preview can be output from HDMI OUT 4 for confirming input sources while operating the unit.*1 If you're not using PinP or key-compositing, you can use an AUX bus to output a separate video signal to a confidence monitor or other destination.
