Each bank's PVW (Preview) output serves as a versatile "lookahead" output. These
outputs work in conjunction with the buttons in each bank's Next Transition Group to
show you exactly how the bank's layers will appear — after the next CUT , MIX , KEY , WIPE ,
or AUTO TRAN is performed.
The figure below illustrates the Next Transition Group on the M/E and PGM banks:

In each Next Transition Group , the buttons that you enable determine the combination of
layers that are "armed" for the next transition, and also determine what you "see" on each
bank's PVW monitor. If a layer is armed, it will appear on PVW .
To use the Next Transition Group , simultaneously press the combination of buttons that
you wish to enable. Any combination of buttons can be pressed. Whichever combination
you enable automatically disables those buttons that were not pressed.
