Fader Lever Operation - Sony XVS-G1 User Manual

Changing from manual transition to auto
transition
Stop fader lever operation and press the [CUT] button to
instantaneously complete the transition.
Stop the fader lever operation and press the [AUTO
TRANS] button to complete the execution of the rest of the
transition with the preset transition rate. For example, if
the transition rate is set to 100 frames, and the fader lever
has moved through 1/4 of the transition, then the remaining
3/4 of the transition is executed in 100 frames.

Fader Lever Operation

Non-sync
If the fader lever is stopped in an intermediate position and
an auto transition is executed, then the fader lever position
will not match the current position of the transition when
the transition is completed. This is termed non-sync state.
You can check for non-sync state by whether the top and
bottom LEDs of the transition indicator are lit or flashing.
For details about LED light/flashing settings, see "Setting
the transition indicator display in non-sync state"
(page 325).
Non-sync state and LED display
• If a non-sync state occurs after moving the fader lever
from top to bottom, the top two LEDs light/flash.
• If a non-sync state occurs after moving the fader lever
from bottom to top, the bottom two LEDs light/flash.
• Moving the fader lever toward the position of the lit/
flashing LEDs does not execute a transition. When the
fader lever reaches the end position, the non-sync state is
released and the LEDs turn off.
• If the fader lever is moved in the direction away from the
lit/flashing LEDs, a 100% transition is executed over the
remaining part of the fader lever travel and the LEDs
turn off.
• Even in non-sync state, you can execute an auto
transition. During auto transition execution, the
transition indicator shows the transition progress in the
usual way, but when the transition completes, the
indicator once again indicates non-sync state.
Flip-flop mode and bus fixed mode
Cross-points can be switched by a transition in flip-flop
mode and bus fixed mode.
For details about setting flip-flop mode/bus fixed mode,
see "Setting Flip-Flop Mode" (page 311).
Lit buttons
Flip-flop mode
The signal selected on the background A bus is the current
image, and the signal selected on the background B bus is
the new image. The background always switches from
background A to background B. When the transition
completes, the cross-points of the background A bus and
background B bus interchange.
Bus fixed mode
Depending on the transition, the cross-points of the
background A bus and background B bus do not
interchange.
When the fader lever is at the top of its travel, the
background A bus signal is 100% output. When the fader
lever is at the bottom of its travel, background B bus signal
is 100% output.
To execute a manual transition, operate the fader lever in
the direction of the transition as shown below.
Auto transitions are executed regardless of the fader lever
position.
