Sequences (LEARN mode)

Do you find yourself doing the same steps over and over? Would
you like to set up some transitions ahead of time and perform each
one at the press of a button? Let the MX-1 perform for you! The
"learn" function can record your actions and play them back.

What is LEARN Mode?

The Learn function watches and remembers as you perform transitions,
then allows you to play them back.
Each transition consists of a transition setup (choice of audio and video
sources, input effects, transition effect number, background and border,
transition speed, etc.) followed by PLAY. The CUT buttons also perform a
transition.
The MX-1 will store one learned sequence containing up to 25 transitions
(see "Number of Steps" later in this chapter).

Notes

• You can do the following in a learned sequence: Perform transitions,
including use of reverse and speed settings; choose CURRENT and NEXT
sources; use freeze; define border and background colors; define input
effects; and transition audio, video, or both.
• You cannot do the following as part of a sequence: Create or transition to
COMPOSE screens; use chroma key; use the demo; use PIP.
• A manual transition (using the Take Bar) is memorized as an automatic
transition at the currently set speed. In other words, it is remembered as if
you had used the PLAY button rather than the Take Bar.
• The learned sequence is erased when you turn the MX-1 off or it loses
power, or when you learn a new sequence.

Learning a Sequence

To learn a sequence of transitions:
• Be sure the PREVIEW screen is displayed on the PREVIEW monitor. If it is
not, press DISPLAY until it is.
• Press LEARN. The POWER light will blink while you are in Learn mode.
