Playing The Sequence; Ending Sequence Playback; Changing The Sequence - Videonics MX-1 Instruction Manual

VIDEONICS DIGITAL VIDEO MIXER
• Perform a series of transitions. Each transition will be performed as usual
and will be simultaneously memorized. You can use any normal method
for performing these (such as use of numbers, arrow keys, or large effect
buttons) but using the number keys is best since it uses fewer learn steps.
If you press COMPOSE, CHROMA KEY, SHIFT+PIP, DEMO, or
SHIFT+DEMO, LEARN mode ends because these actions cannot be stored
in a sequence. The steps entered before these keys were pressed remain in
the sequence.
• When you have completed your transitions, press LEARN again. The
POWER light will stop blinking.
If you record the maximum allowable number of transitions, filling memory,
LEARN mode will end automatically.

Playing the Sequence

To play the sequence, be sure the PREVIEW screen is displayed, then press
SHIFT and PLAY at the same time. The PREVIEW screen will go blank for a
moment and the POWER light will flash rapidly. From then on, each time
you press PLAY, the next transition in the sequence will be performed. After
the last step has been played, the sequence will start over again.
If you use the Take Bar instead of PLAY to play a learned sequence, it will
override the SPEED setting and play the next transition in the sequence
manually.
A GPI trigger input (described in the "GPI Trigger" section of Chapter 19,
"Editing and Other Applications") can also be used to play the steps in a
sequence. In other words, a GPI pulse acts exactly the same as pressing
PLAY.

Ending Sequence Playback

Press SHIFT and PLAY again to stop playing the sequence. You can also
stop playing a sequence by simply starting a new transition (in other words,
by using any control other than PLAY or the Take Bar).
The POWER light will stop flashing and the PLAY button and Take Bar
will act normally, playing the effect indicated on the screen rather than the
learned sequence. The sequence will remain in memory while you perform
other effects.

Changing the Sequence

A learned sequence can be replaced by simply learning a new sequence.
When you press LEARN and start a new sequence, the old sequence is
immediately erased. You can also erase a sequence by turning the Mixer off
and then on again. You cannot append additional steps to a sequence.
