Setting The Transition Rate - Sony MVS-8000X System User Manual

Setting the Transition Rate

There are two ways of setting the transition rate: using the numeric keypad
control block to enter a numeric value, or using the Misc menu to access the
Transition menu for the M/E or PGM/PST bank.
You can also display the transition rate and independent key transition rate for
each of the M/E and PGM/PST banks, and change the settings. (See
"Displaying a List of Transition Rates and Changing the Settings" (page
361).)
Notes
When a clip transition is selected as the transition type, it is not possible to set
the transition rate.
Frame input mode and timecode input mode
For numeric input of the transition rate value, there are two modes: frame input
mode and timecode input mode. The frame input mode is selected
automatically when the frame display mode is selected. The timecode input
mode is selected automatically when the timecode display mode is selected.
Frame input mode: The entered value is a number of frames.
Example: Entering 123 constitutes an entry of 123 frames
Timecode input mode: The entered value is a timecode value.
Example: Entering 123 constitutes an entry of 1 second 23 frames.
Notes
Whereas you can enter a value of up to 999 in frame input mode, a value not
smaller than 10 seconds cannot be entered in timecode input mode.
Frame display mode and timecode display mode
For the transition rate display in the transition control block, there are two
modes: frame display mode and timecode display mode. You can select one of
these modes in setup. (See "Operation Settings (Operation Menu)" in Chapter
19 (Volume 3).)
Notes
The setting is common to all banks of the switcher.
Frame display mode: Values are shown as from 0 to 999 frames. In this
display mode, a value entered in timecode input mode is converted for
display as a number of frames.
