Transition Preview

With the preview output of the M/E bank and PGM/PST
bank, you can check the effect of a transition in advance.
To perform a transition preview, the [TRANS PVW]
button must be assigned to a button in the transition control
block beforehand in the Setup menu (see page 411).
Note
It is not possible to carry out a transition preview in the
following cases.

There are three modes for a transition preview.
Hold mode: Transition preview mode is enabled only
while the [TRANS PVW] button is pressed.
Lock mode: Pressing the [TRANS PVW] button switches
between transition preview mode and normal mode
each time the button is pressed.
One-time mode: Pressing the [TRANS PVW] button
switches to transition preview mode, and the mode
returns to normal mode when the transition finishes.
