Executing a Transition

Transitions are executed using the transition control block.
You can also execute auto transitions using the menu.
Transition indicator
CUT button
AUTO TRANS button
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 completing a transition started with the fader
lever as an auto transition.
Transition indicator
You can check the transition execution status using the
transition indicator on the transition control block.
The transition indicator displays the transition execution
status by which LEDs are lit and which are not, both for
manual transitions and auto transitions.
When the transition indicator is lit up to the center point,
the transition progress has reached 50%.
When the transition is completed, the transition indicator
turns off.
