Auto/Manual Transition Combination

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 execution
of the transition.
Executing an auto transition after stopping
the fader lever mid execution
Press the [CUT] button to instantaneously complete the
transition.
Press the [AUTO TRANS] button to complete the
execution of the rest of the transition at the preset transition
rate. For example, if the transition rate is set to 100 frames,
and the fader lever has moved through
3
then the remaining / of the transition is executed 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 non-sync state.
In non-sync state, the position from which a normal sync-
state fader lever transition can be resumed is indicated by
which of the two transition indicator LEDs (top, bottom, or
both ends) are lit or flashing.
• Moving the fader lever toward the position of the lit/
flashing LEDs does not execute a transition, but when
the fader lever reaches the end position the non-sync
state is released, and it is then possible to execute a
transition.

• If the fader lever is moved in the direction away from the
lit/flashing LEDs, the transition is executed over the
remaining part of the fader lever travel.
• Even in a non-sync state, you can execute an auto
transition. During auto transition execution by pressing
the [AUTO TRANS] button, the transition indicator
shows the transition progress in the usual way, but when
the transition completes, they once again indicate the
non-sync state.
Note
The transition indicator display state (lit or flashing) is set
in the Setup menu (see page 427).
