Graphics Presenter includes content that can output MIDI commands in sync with video output. By using this content, you can easily set up a stinger transition, which inserts an effect in sync with the switcher’s transition timing.

Follow the steps below to configure the settings.

1.  Install Graphics Presenter on a Windows 10 or Windows 11 computer and set it up for the connected switcher.

2. Connect the computer’s USB port to the switcher’s USB port using a USB cable.
   Your switcher will be recognized as a MIDI device in Graphics Presenter.

3. Go to MIDI Settings and select the switcher from the list of MIDI output devices.
   

4. Select the Transition tab and open the Preview Edit screen for Stinger Transition content.

5. Enter the MIDI message for switching the switcher’s PGM channel in the MIDI OUT field.
