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, two lit LEDs indicate the position from
which a normal transition can be carried out. This is either
at one end position or both end positions of the fader lever
travel.
Moving the fader lever toward the position of the lit LEDs
does not carry out a transition, but when the fader lever
reaches the end position the non-sync state is released, and
it is now possible to carry out the next transition.
