Executing a Transition

There are two modes for carrying out a transition: auto
transitions are carried out by a button operation, and
manual transitions are carried out 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.

Transition Indicator

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 turn off.

Setting the Transition Rate

There are two ways of setting the transition rate: using the
Flexi Pad control block or numeric keypad control block to
enter a numeric value, or using the Misc >Transition menu
for the M/E or PGM/PST bank.
You can also display the transition rate, independent key
transition rate, and fade-to-black transition rate for each
bank, and change the settings (see page 180).
