Transition Preview; Pattern Limit - Sony MVS-8000 User Manual

Transition preview

With the preview output of the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank, you can check
the effect of a transition in advance. To carry out a transition preview, press the
[TRANS PVW] button in the transition control block. (See "Transition
Preview" (page 309).)
Note
In multi-program mode, DSK mode (page 182) or bus fixed mode (page 43),
it is not possible to carry out a transition preview.

Pattern limit

When a wipe or DME wipe pattern is selected for the transition, you can
specify the range of movement of the wipe pattern through the course of the
transition, for each bank independently.
When the pattern limit function is enabled, carrying out a transition results in
the following effect for example settings.
• When the limit value is set to 50%, the effect at the end of the transition is
the same as when the fader lever is at the center position in the normal case
(with the pattern limit function disabled); the wipe pattern does not complete.
• When the limit value is set to 0%, the wipe effect is completely disabled, and
carrying out the transition produces no change in the image.
• When the limit value is set to the maximum 100%, the image changes in
exactly the same way as when the pattern limit function is off, but when the
transition is completed, the cross-point selections on the background A and
B buses do not interchange.
You can specify the limit value either by entering a numeric value in the menu,
or by operating the fader lever to set the fader lever position. (See "Pattern
Limit" (page 301).)
Note
The pattern limit function is not available in an independent key transition.
Fade to black
The PGM/PST bank provides a fade-to-black function, controlled with the
[FTB] button in the fade to black control block. (See "Fade to Black" (page
316).)
Note
In multi-program mode or DSK mode, it is possible to carry out a fade-to-black
on a number of programs simultaneously.
You can also make a Setup menu setting such that a fade-to-black does not
apply to particular programs.
