Pattern Limit; Setting A Pattern Limit; Executing A Pattern Limit - Sony MKS-X1115 User Manual

Pattern Limit

When a wipe or DME wipe is selected as the transition
type, you can specify the transition execution limit.
When the pattern limit function is enabled, the following
transitions occur, depending on the execution limit
settings.
• When the execution limit is set to 50%, the result at the
completion of the transition is the same as if the fader
lever is at the center position with the pattern limit
function disabled.
• When the execution limit is set to the minimum of 0%,
the image is not switched even when the transition is
executed.
• When the execution limit is set to the maximum of
100%, the image changes in the same way as if the
pattern limit function is disabled, but when the
transition is completed, the cross-points on the
background A bus and B bus do not interchange.
The pattern limit is configured using the transition control
block, simple-type transition type control block, or the
menu.
Notes
• When the operation mode of the switcher bank is set to
multi program mode, pattern limits can be set only
when the background transition type is a wipe or DME
wipe. If a key is selected for a next transition, the
pattern limit settings are reflected in the wipe or DME
wipe selected for the background transition type.
• The buttons used for configuring and executing pattern
limits must be assigned to the transition control block/
transition control block (simple type) beforehand.
For details about assigning buttons, see "Assigning
Control Panel Buttons" (page 408).
