To enter a difference value
To set the transition rate by specifying a difference value
from the current value, press the [+/−] button, enter the
difference value, and press the [TRIM] button. Each time
you press the [+/−] button, it toggles between plus (+) and
minus (–).

Pattern Limit

When a wipe or DME wipe is selected as the transition
pattern, you can specify the transition execution limits for
each bank independently.
When the pattern limit function is enabled, the following
effects occur, depending on the execution limit settings.
• When the limit value is set to 50%, the effect at the end
of the transition is the same as when the fader lever is at
the center position with the pattern limit function
disabled; namely, the video is not completely switched.
• When the limit value is set to the minimum of 0%, the
video is not switched even when the transition is
executed.
• When the limit value is set to the maximum of 100%, the
image changes in the same way as when the pattern limit
function is off, but when the transition is completed, the
cross-point selections on the background A and B buses
do not interchange.
There are two ways of setting a pattern limit: either by
operating the fader lever to save the fader position, or by
using the Wipe >Edge/Direction menu or DME Wipe
>Edge/Direction menu for the M/E or PGM/PST bank.
Notes
• A pattern limit only applies when a wipe or DME wipe
is selected as the transition type.
• In multi-program mode, pattern limits can be used only
when the background transition type is a wipe or DME
wipe. If a key is selected for the next transition, the
pattern limit settings are reflected in the wipe or DME
wipe selected for the background transition type.
Transition control block
To perform pattern limit operations, the [PTN LIMIT] and
[LIMIT SET] buttons must be assigned to buttons in the
transition control block beforehand in the Setup menu (see
page 411).
Note
The [PTN LIMIT] and [LIMIT SET] buttons are set on the
transition control block (simple type) by default. Also,
transition preview and cut operations are not supported.
Setting the pattern limit with the fader
lever
1
Move the fader lever to the position corresponding to
a particular pattern size.
Notes
• First make sure that the [PTN LIMIT] button is off.
• To adjust while monitoring the video on the preview
monitor, first press the [TRANS PVW] button to
select transition preview mode (see page 98).
