Combining Auto And Manual Transitions; Non-Sync State; Fader Lever Operation In Bus Fixed Mode - Sony MVS-3000 System User Manual

To resume a paused transition: Resume moving the
fader lever.
Combining Auto and Manual
Transitions
Using the [AUTO TRANS] button, the [CUT] button, and
the fader lever, use the following procedures.
Moving the fader lever during an auto
transition
During an auto transition started by pressing the [AUTO
TRANS] button, operating the fader lever immediately
enables the fader lever, and the [AUTO TRANS] button
turns off. Thereafter, the fader lever controls the progress
of the transition.
Executing an auto transition after partly
moving the fader lever
• Press the [CUT] button to instantaneously complete the
transition.
• Press the [AUTO TRANS] button to complete the rest of
the transition at the preset transition rate.
If the transition rate is set to 100 frames, and the fader
lever has moved through
3
remaining / of the transition is carried out in 100
4
frames.

Non-Sync State

If the fader lever is in an intermediate position when a
transition is completed as an auto transition, then the lever
position no longer agrees with the transition state. This is
termed a "non-sync state."
In a non-sync state, the [Non Sync] or [Sync] indicator
indicates the position from which a normal transition can
be carried out. This is at both end positions of the fader
lever travel.
• If you move the fader lever toward the [Non Sync]
indicator, transition is not executed, and the non-sync
state will be released and the [Non Sync] indicator will
disappear when you reach the end of the lever travel.
• If you move the fader lever toward the [Sync] indicator,
the transition resumes, and the [Sync] indicator will
disappear when you reach the end of the lever travel. In
this case, a 100% transition is executed in the remaining
section.

• Even in a non-sync state, you can carry out auto
transitions. If you execute an auto transition by pressing
the [AUTO TRANS] button, the indicators show the
transition progress in the usual way, but when the
transition completes, they once again indicate the non-
sync state.
Fader Lever Operation in Bus Fixed
Mode
Flip-flop mode and bus fixed mode
The following describes the difference between flip-flop
mode and bus fixed mode, taking an M/E bank as an
example; the functionality is the same, however, on the
PGM/PST bank.
Normally, when a background transition is carried out on
the M/E bank, the signals selected on the A and B rows of
the cross-point buttons are interchanged at the end of the
transition. That is to say, except during a transition, the
background output is always from the background A bus.
This is called "flip-flop mode."
The alternative is known as "bus fixed mode," in which
there is no bus interchange. In this mode, when the fader
lever is at the top of its travel the output from the A bus is
always 100%, and when the fader lever is at the bottom of
its travel the output from the B bus is 100%.
