Fade-To-Black; Aux Mix Transitions - Sony XVS-9000 User Manual

Fade-to-Black

This function gradually darkens the program output video
of the PGM/PST bank, eventually cutting it to black.
Note
In multi-program mode or DSK mode, fade-to-black is
executed for a number of programs simultaneously.
You can also set fade-to-black so that is not applied to
particular programs in the Setup menu.

Function" (page 455).
