You can preview the video to be output next and then output it with a cross dissolve transition by pressing the OFF button which behaves as a “TAKE” button when in any of the PGM/PST Modes. Version 3.0 offers a two programs/two previews mode and a three programs/one preview mode option for the XS-84H as well as a two programs/one preview for the XS-84H and XS-83H.
Guide Function
You can display a guide on the preview output picture to confirm the position and size of the video to be output next. The width and color of the border can be changed. The guide can also be set to be “Inside” or “Outside” the viewable area to suit the operator’s preferences.
Switch multiple outputs at the same time (Version 3.0)
This can be done by two ways.
- Output link function: You can match any two output buses together switch them simultaneously.
- Double Tap Transition: You can use the double tap mode for the transition operation to pre-select the next source and switch multiple outputs at the same time.
Bezel Compensation
Bezel compensation function changes the zoom and position of the output picture to make the picture look more continuous across multiple screens when using SPAN, ROTATION or 4K Modes.
Still-images/Capture Function
Up to four BMP images can be imported into the unit from a USB flash drive and assigned to an input channel*. In Version 3.0, still-images can be captured directly from a live video source**. This is ideal for displaying a school or company logo while in standby with no inputs connected.
*The maximum supported resolution of the still-image is 1900×1200.
**HDCP supported. Other operations cannot be performed when capturing. The captured images cannot be saved in a USB flash drive.

Sending a RS-232 command via HDbaseT can turn an external device’s power on or off.
Powerful multi-screen processing capabilities
The XS Series Version 3.0 offers twenty three different operation modes for an incredible number of possible applications where the XS Series can be used both in live events and meeting room applications. The XS Series also offers smooth mode switching so multiple modes can be used in the same environment and make maximum use of multiscreen set-ups. Event / System Designers can setup screens to seamlessly switch between a matrix mode showing up to four independent sources and then stretch a single source across those same screens.

- SPAN MODE - Split the screen
- ROTATION MODE - Flip the picture
- MULTI MODE - Display in 2/3/4 windows with PinP
- 4K MODE - Switch a 4k video
