Executing a Transition

There are two modes of executing a transition: an auto
transition by button operation or a manual transition using
the fader lever.
It is also possible to combine both methods, taking control
with the fader lever of an auto transition which has partly
completed, or complete a transition started with the fader
lever as an auto transition.
By combining common transitions with independent key
transitions, different transition types can be applied to the
background and keys, for example allowing a key wipe
combined with a background dissolve.
When the audio mixer is linked in setup, you can carry out
an auto transition, and also switch the sound with the audio
mixer (see page 70).

Transition Indicator Function

In each of the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank, to the left
of the fader lever is a transition indicator composed of
multiple LEDs. This indicator shows the state of the
transition, whether auto or manual, by which LEDs are lit.

For example, in the previous illustration, it can be seen that
the transition is more than half completed.
When the transition is completed, all of the LEDs go off.

Setting the Transition Rate

There are two ways of setting the transition rate: using the
numeric keypad control block to enter a numeric value, or
using the Misc menu to access the Transition menu for the
M/E or PGM/PST bank.
