Executing a Transition
There are two modes of executing a transition: an auto
transition by button operation or a manual transition using
the fader lever.
It is also possible to combine both methods, taking control
with the fader lever of an auto transition which has partly
completed, or complete a transition started with the fader
lever as an auto transition.
By combining common transitions with independent key
transitions, different transition types can be applied to the
background and keys, for example allowing a key wipe
combined with a background dissolve.
When the audio mixer is linked in setup, you can carry out
an auto transition, and also switch the sound with the audio
mixer (see page 97).
Transition Indicator Function
In each of the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank, to the left
of the fader lever is a transition indicator composed of
multiple LEDs. This indicator shows the state of the
transition, whether auto or manual, by which LEDs are lit.

For example, in the previous illustration, it can be seen that
the transition is more than half completed.
When the transition is completed, all of the LEDs go off.
Setting the Transition Rate
There are two ways of setting the transition rate: using the
Flexi Pad control block, Multifunction Flexi Pad control
block or 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, independent key
transition rate, and fade-to-black transition rate for each of
the M/E and PGM/PST banks, and change the settings (see
page 234).
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
block (page 106), Multifunction Flexi Pad control block or
the numeric keypad control block (page 106).
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.
For details, see "Setting the Transition Rate Display
Mode" in Chapter 19 (Volume 2).
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.
Timecode display mode: Values are shown as timecode
values, consisting of seconds and frames. In this
display mode, a value entered in frame input mode is
converted for display as a timecode value. If the value
consists of four or more digits, the last digit is not
shown.
