Transition Preview; Independent Key Transitions - Sony MVS-3000 System User Manual

In the bus fixed mode there is a fixed relationship between
the position of the fader lever and the signal output on
background A bus and B bus. Depending on the direction
of the transition, the fader lever must therefore always be
moved in a particular direction, as shown in the following
table. This does not affect an auto transition, which is
executed regardless of the fader lever direction.

• When a transition applies to a combination of more than
one of the background and keys, then the transition for
all of these must be in the same direction complying with
the above table.
• If as a result of an auto transition, for example, the fader
lever position does not agree with the signal output, this
is a non-sync state (1 p. 56)
indicator will appear.

With the preview output of the M/E bank and PGM/PST
bank, you can check the effect of a transition in advance.
To carry out a transition preview, press the [TRANS
PVW] button in the transition control block to enable

What is an independent key transition?
In addition to common transitions, it is possible to carry
out independent transitions on the keyers of the M/E banks
and PGM/PST bank. These are called "independent key
transitions."
By carrying out an independent key transition in
combination with a common transition, different transition
types can be used for the background and keys.
It is also possible to use different transition types for key
insertion and key deletion by means of a Setup menu
setting (1 p. 59).
Combining other transitions with

independent key transitions

When you set a common transition and a key independent
transition for the same key, you can apply two different
effects such as a wipe and mix (dissolve) to the key
simultaneously.
