Transitions

Selecting the Next Transition

To execute a transition, it is first necessary to decide how
the image will be changed as a result of the transition. This
selection is carried out using the next transition selection
buttons (see page 30) in the transition control block of each
M/E or PGM/PST bank.
For details of operations, see "Procedure for Basic
Transition Operation" (page 69).

Transition Types

Selecting the transition type determines the way in which
the transition occurs.
Carry out the type selection with the transition type
selection buttons in the transition control block of each M/
E or PGM/PST bank.
For details of this operation, see "Procedure for Basic
Transition Operation" (page 69).
The following are the transition types.
Mix
This is a dissolve, in which the new video progressively
fades in over the current video, with the sum of the two
video outputs maintained constant. At the mid-point of the
transition (when the fader lever is in the center position),
the output of each is 50%.
This transition type can also be selected for an independent
key transition. In this case, the key either dissolves in or
dissolves out similarly, with the progress of the transition.
NAM (non-additive mix)
In this dissolve, the current video and new video signals
are compared, and the signal with the higher luminance
level is given priority in the output. The current video is
maintained at 100% output for the first half of the
transition as the new video increases progressively to
100%, then the current video is progressively reduced
from 100% to zero in the second half with the new video
maintained at 100% output.
Notes
This transition type is not available for an independent key
transition.

Transitions
Super mix
In this dissolve, the current video is maintained at 100%
output for the first half of the transition as the new video is
mixed while increasing progressively to 100%, then the
current video is progressively reduced from 100% to zero
in the second half with the new video maintained at 100%
output.
Notes
This transition type is not available for an independent key
transition.
For details on super mix settings, see page 75.
Preset color mix
This is a two-stage dissolve, comprising two transitions,
the first a dissolve to a color matte, and the second from the
color matte to the new video.
In the first transition, the current video is replaced by the
color matte in a mix (dissolve), then in the second
transition the color matte is replaced by the new video also
in a mix (dissolve).
Notes
This transition type is not available for an independent key
transition.
For details on color matte settings, see page 75.
Wipe
A wipe replaces the current video by the new video
according to a predetermined pattern. This transition type
can also be selected for an independent key transition.
For details, see Chapter 5 "Wipes" (page 124).
DME wipe
Using a DME effect, it is possible to obtain a transition to
a new image from the current image, as in a wipe. You can
also use this transition type as an independent key
transition.
For details, see Chapter 6 "DME Wipes" (page 140).
Clip transitions
Linked to a mix (dissolve) or wipe transition, a frame
memory clip (movie) is played back.
