Transition Preview - Sony MVS-8000X User Manual

• When a transition applies to a combination of more than
one of the background and keys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8,
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 (see page 81) and LEDs light at both
end positions of the fader lever travel. Moving the fader
lever does not carry out a transition, but when the fader
lever reaches the end position the non-sync state is
released, and it is now possible to carry out the next
transition. If the fader lever is moved in the direction
away from the lit LEDs, this carries out the next
transition, over the remaining part of the fader lever
travel.

PVW] button in the transition control block.
Notes
In multi-program mode, DSK mode or bus fixed mode
