Executing a Transition

Executing a Transition

This section describes how to execute a transition on an M/E bank or the
PGM/PST bank of a 3.5-M/E system.
Note that for the PGM/PST bank, it is only possible to execute the transition
using the transition control section.
For details of the procedure for transitions using the downstream keyer
control section of the PGM/PST bank, see the section "Basic Downstream
Key Operations" (page 4-24).
Executing an auto transition
Use the following procedures to execute an auto transition for all of the items
(background and keys) selected by the next transition selection buttons in the
transition control section, using the buttons in the auto transition control
section.
• For an instantaneous transition, press the CUT button.
• For a gradual (auto) transition, press the AUTO TRANS button.
This executes the transition at the rate determined by the current setting of
the transition duration. While it is in execution the AUTO TRANS button
lights amber.
• To pause an auto transition when the AUTO TRANS button is lit amber
(i.e. in execution), press the AUTO TRANS button again. Its color changes
from amber to green.
• To resume a paused transition, press the AUTO TRANS button while it is
lit green. Its color reverts from green to amber.
• When a transition is in progress or paused, press the CUT button to
complete the transition immediately. The AUTO TRANS button then goes
off.
Cutting a key in or out on an M/E bank using the KEY ON button
To cut a key in or out instantaneously, and independently of any other
transition on the M/E bank, press the corresponding KEY ON button in the
key control section.
When the key is inserted in the output from the M/E bank, the KEY ON
button lights amber, and if it is present in the final program output, the button
lights red.
